- ✦ AFTER THE WAR !!

the whispers unfurled like wings of steel. each metallic feather falling into place with a soft clink, their razor-tipped ends forming a slow, methodical sneer. and that twisted smile shimmered like liquid mercury, reflecting a thousand different endings. a thousand alternate futures, fortunes and fates that she hadn’t chosen.
as one, the steel wings rose—a seamless arc of rippling metal poised over her. she couldn’t escape the labyrinth of mirrored steel, blinding and spell-binding, as they revealed reflections and ripples of time warped by a sense of regret.
windseeker. the whispers seemed on the verge of hysteria, their mockery high and tinny like the fading ring of steel against steel. how did you ever think you could belong? a wanderer of the winds trading freedom for a shackle—
“hey, look!” the sea of mercury ebbed. wisps of peachy curls tickled her cheek as her companion tipped his head back, pointing true north. a grin gathered on one side of his lips. “you ever see anything like that?”
a delicate fragrance bloomed, soft and sweet, as a thousand blushing petals drifted from the north. a rainfall of cherry-reds and crystalline-white petals fell into her open paws, their touch like silk upon all her callouses and still-healing scars. and for one perfect moment, she could sense the rush of the wind once more.
the northerlies, the southerlies, the westerlies, the easterlies. they hadn’t left her and perhaps they never had. no matter her future, her past, her present. no matter what she called herself, what she did in this new life or where she called home. they were all still here. always here.
it was invigorating. a spark, an ignition, a flame. she could sense their wild, capricious spirit like a fire-wind in her veins. hear their reckless laugh lilting from every ancient treetop and forgotten hollow. feel their gentle kiss, light and feather-like, as they pulled her close and welcomed her home.
and with a gift, too. (+1fp bugs, +1fp bugs, +1 daisy leaf; predator has also left the territory!)
