It could hardly be considered a surprise that December had her companion trailing little Merialeth. Even Eliana had the tendency to check on the filly on her own accord - the night dark bird spent so many of her moments soaring between the ever wandering Miykael and little Merialeth that she hasn't slept much (and she only hunts when the girl is finally asleep, which ultimately cuts into her own sleep time). Yet, she loves every minute of it. The silver eyed bird can't ignore or hold back her fondness of the young girl. Little Merialeth, it seems, has completely upended the small family's lives and they only adore her more for it.
Miykael didn't wander so far anymore. In fact, through his connection with Eliana, he is able to remain close to his little princess without her being able to see him. He knew when Merialeth wandered up to explore one of the waterfalls and he couldn't help but to cringe when Eliana told him what she was doing. December, he knew, would have had a heart attack if she'd witnessed it herself. Miykael wasn't quite as concerned but he certainly isn't the type to disregard December's feelings or belittle her in any way for her behavior with their child. She is Meria's mother, after all.
Eliana's keen silver eyes spy the object of Meria's attention just as the filly pulls herself out of a potentially compromising position, and mentally relays the information to Miykael. 'Shiny thing on rock out of waterfall. Baby can't reach.' and a brief pause flutters between them before they both reach the same conclusion. Eliana doesn't even have to speak before Miykael sets off into action. On the ground, he lopes towards the base of the waterfall - the one he knew his daughter was currently exploring - and once he was near enough he unfurled his large white wings. Flying forward and upward, the stallion alters the position and angle of his wings in order to hover beside the small rock ledge holding the circlet. It is a rather difficult maneuver, but the reward greatly outweighs the risk. With great care and focus, the stallion gingerly reaches forward to grasp the circlet in his teeth. Once the object is secured, he changes the angle of his wings to thrust himself up and land gracefully not far from Merialeth.
Miykael whinnies warmly to his daughter, hoping to catch her attention. He then offers her a bright smile as he folds his wings to his sides. Tucking his left front leg, the stallion lowers himself into a full bow before straightening once more and moving forward to place the circlet delicately upon her head. "You seem to have lost your crown, princess." his voice is playful and regal when he speaks and his blue eyes are filled to the brim with his joy and silent laughter. Oh, how he so enjoys being a father.
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before? |
