Agapi
Between the branches of a towering oak tree, a little sparrow is all but invisible nestled between its yellow, and red, and orange leaves. Agapi ruffles her feathered wings, and puffs out her chest at the chill of a calm autumn breeze. She’d come to the meadow alone today, desperate for time and space from the hectic calamity of the homecoming taking place in Nerine. It made her feel small, and Agapi was far too young to handle such big emotions with much grace.
So, rather than an inevitably public meltdown, Agapi had slunk away at the earliest opportunity and high-tailed it from Nerine back into the mainlands.
Agapi had never been anywhere without Agave before, and there are parts of her that ache at the distance between them. They were two halves of one whole, after all. Other parts, however, welcome the peaceful quiet. If she were honest with herself she would admit that today, in the meadow, was perhaps a chance to finally explore who she was without her sister.
She only had to find the courage to take it.

*in case it wasn't clear from my lazy writing, she's in her sparrow form right now.
