Golden eyes watching our every move
Losing time without the sun or moon
The mage is silent as he steps through the portal into the seaside kingdom. Ether follows, flinching from the light into the subtle shadow he’d brought them through. His golden eyes follow the much more brightly colored stallion, curious and wary. He knows Heartfire is here, somewhere. He’d brought her, but he hasn’t the powerful senses she does. Cannot pinpoint a location with barely a thought. It’s why it had taken him so long to accomplish what he’d promised.
A reminder to be more careful with his words in the future.
She would find them though, he has no doubt. She would want to return to her children. Another promise he’d made without thought, agreeing to lend her aid in moving more quickly through her various tasks. It’d been thoughtless, perhaps, but that is what family does, is it not?
They haven’t been waiting long when a familiar blue figure is wending her way towards them. Her blue gaze is cool and watchful as she approaches, features unreadable. But Ether thinks she looks more wearied than she had earlier. A product of the illness that still lingers in her bones, as it does his. She’d been healed, he knows. But it would only last for so long, as they all now know, too well.
