Noctisardor Bypass We're only kids who lost our way

I'll end this here if it's alright with you! Thanks for the thread <3

I believe in you.

Those words might not have meant much for some, but for Gwen they meant everything. Those few, simply words provided her with great comfort, for only her mother had ever said those words to her and they had always been the ones to keep her going. The Empress smiled, gaze lighting up ever so slightly as she looked at Cry. She did not need to speak anymore - her face said it all. Thank you.

Her head lowered so that it was on her snow-white paws, and her eyes trailed back toward the lake. She let out a content sigh, watching as the grass in front of her swayed when she did so. The silence, she realised, was relaxing. For now, she was okay. She would be alright, and she was happy. Maybe the feeling would not last, but for this moment she would allow it to consume her existence.
