Solace
Weeks had passed and the marks he left on her body healed into smooth pink scars. But in her mind she brought Castile everywhere with her. He stalked her thoughts night and day, refusing to allow her the rest she needed. His image, the blinding spectrum of emotions she had felt during their day together, interfered with her kingdom obligations and diluted the contentment she found in completing her daily tasks. She could hardly hold a conversation without losing focus halfway through, and her easy smile was hard to come by.
Her favorite season was passing her by - springs blossoms were fading, giving way to summers gaudy hues, yet she barely saw any of it.
Still, she sticks to her routine. This morning starts the way she had planned it (with a quick flight over the western coastline) but her eyes continue to wander south - to Loess. The frustration builds in the young queen's chest, causing her wings to propel her higher and faster than she usually flew. He had left her with so many questions, and even more turbulent emotions. She couldn't stand it anymore. With a look of resolve hardening her delicate features she gives in to the magnetic pull she had been fighting.
She goes alone to find him, the thought to bring someone along with her never crosses her mind. Before her battle with Titanya, the young queen would have only returned to his territory with several of her own by her side. But she had found a new power within her self during the Alliance. That experience had fortified her - giving a steel to her glances and a touch of age to her blemishless face.
Solace lads with the mountains of her home to her back and the rolling expanse of Loess before her. She doesn't call out - she hopes that he is as drawn to the place where their kingdoms meet the way she is.
