Oh, how long has it been she has left Tephra?
The pink woman sparkles as she slinks from the volcanic kingdom, her first venture from her comfortable homeland in - what is it now? Two years? She truly cannot recall. Cosmos and Myrkari disappearing took its toll. Jude holed herself away, becoming unkempt and perpetually upset. There were shoulders for her to lean on, but she turned away when she saw them approaching.
And Aysel - Jude refuses to dream of her once-lover’s arms. There is something about the sensuous love of a woman that she now craves, having never felt it so deeply. Unfortunately, most love does not last in the woman’s life: Aysel, too, disappeared - leaving the tired pegasus to care for their fairy-gifted child.
Though Xaligha was a calm and uneventful babe, Jude quickly found she did not care for motherhood when the weight rests solely on her shoulders. The beautiful filly did not appear to mind her mother’s absent, fearful face - though she doubts her child would ever admit any harm she had inadvertently bestowed. Despite her restlessness, the woman appreciates that Xaligha did not disappear - her daughter frequently checking in when she runs off and sticking by her side when she remains.
Still - still, that need to run haunts her. What can the Beqanna outside of Tephra offer her? So much, she thinks; yet, hesitation held her within her own dark clutches for too long. Today, though, she breathes a heavy sigh of relief when the cool air above Sylva lifts her wings.
The meadow is her least favorite of the Common Lands, but she arrives there first. She allows the wind to take her anywhere, because truthfully she is too afraid to steer on her own. Jude lands beside a creek, the force of her drop causing her to stumble into its water. She lingers there for a moment, casting nervous eyes around to see if anyone noticed her misstep.
