It was impossible for Ander to get the sight of his mother going up in flames out of his mind. The fire had been so hot and bright, he had been forced to take a few steps back. Never before had his mother’s fire threatened to burn him, but today it would have. However, that wasn’t what had spooked him. For a moment he had thought that he had lost his mother. She had never been far from him, always watching him over, making sure he stayed out of trouble. Now it was quite the opposite, as he was suddenly forced to adapt the big brother role. The flame that had consumed his mother, had left behind an inky black girl with ruby eyes.
That said girl huddled at Terran’s other side. The wings that kept her close and sheltered made her feel a little bit more secure and less alone. She was still missing her Mama, who hadn’t replied to her calls. And Jinju just couldn’t understand why. Terran had promised to take care of her and from the very first moment she had laid her ruby eyes on him, she had known it was okay. There was this strange familiarity around them.
It was the openness of the field that made her press closer against his side. She had felt more at ease in the forest, but at the same time, Terran’s pretty golden wings offered her the same protection the trees had. And secretly she was curious to explore more of the world. Something told her she had done that too little, even though she was only a newborn. It has her nodding to Terran’s question, a small, quivering smile tugging at the corners of her lips. She doesn’t voice it out, not sure how her voice would hold. Her muzzle gently brushes across his shoulder, but her ruby eyes are already taking in the darkening field around them. ”W-where are we going?” she asks.
That question makes Ander lift his head too. Red eyes, meeting ruby for a second, but only a second, then look up to his father. He couldn’t be more happy and relieved that Terran had found them, he honestly wouldn’t have known what else to do. Just looking at Jinju made him squirm. This was his mother. And she was just a little baby now. And Ander didn’t know how he really felt about that. He thanked the lord that he hadn’t lost her, but he simply didn’t know how to deal with the situation on hand.
”Dad.. We will be sa- okay here, for the night?” he asks softly, not really wanting to spook his mother. He had lived in Taiga all his life, the idea of sleeping out in an open field was quite strange to him. Not just that. He had lost his home today, and his mother, in some way. Wasn’t too strange he was a bit – or quite – shaken up?
