i never knew daylight could be so violent.
It had been some time since she’d seen her sister. Perhaps a long time by the standards of those that lived in this world, but not a significant time by any means by the standards of the Fae. But Sidhra always had a harder time fitting into these younger worlds than Anuya. She envied that about her sister – Anuya always approached these places with an open mind and such a willingness to at least try to acclimatize herself.
But not Sidhra.
When this place had stripped her of her magic, she had sulked. She wanted her voice back. She longed for the stars of their homeland – for the quiet reverence of the nights. This place was so noisy and brash. Maybe that was why Anuya seemed to like it… But it was evident that the path home was far more difficult than they had ever imagined when they had first fallen through what she assumed was just a tear between worlds. Now she wasn’t so sure if it would ever be possible to return. Strangely enough it was the Eclipse that had breathed some life into her weary bones – that had finally inspired something in her to make something of a life in this world rather than just spending her nights wanting for the old world.
Having at least part of her magic back was a comfort, too. Perhaps Anuya had an idea of how to get the last piece back. She still felt like part of herself was missing, a strange void in the center of her soul. Anuya always knew how to help with that, pesky little pixie that she was. She wondered, idly, how she’d been coping – wondered how many in this place she’d already befriended while Sidhra had retreated into her seclusion. She didn’t fear judgment from her sister – they both knew each other’s ways.
She came to the meadow at night, glowing softly under the gentle light of the stars. Sidhra still had a distaste for anywhere that blocked her views of the night sky when it was clear like it was tonight, so she hoped that Anuya wasn’t somewhere beneath the thick canopy of trees. She doesn’t worry that Anuya will find her. Anuya always finds her. So for the time being she is content to wait beneath the stars, surrounded by all the quiet sounds of night.
