The Sunspire destiny and fortune

Though Olive and Seabreeze had already been wracked with anxiety, upon her misspoken words, the fae felt the entire vibrational atmosphere of the scene fall drastically. It was not a trip, as Rannoch stood to understand it — no, she would not deign to leave her babies for so long. It was their official departure from Sunspire which she was announcing, but was unable to find the words. She so hated to disappoint those she loved; and she did love Rannoch dearly, not only for being a true friend but for being a kind-hearted and honest soul. She believed that he abided by only the staunchest ethical guideline and, though he was younger than her, trusted him with a ferocity that was reserved for few. It was these moments — when she found that she must leave Sunspire, when she found that she must leave Dakarai, when she found that she must leave Teaghlaigh — that burned the most.

Thankfully, Seabreeze noted Olive’s unwillingness to broach the painful topic and took the responsibility upon herself. The silvered fae could do nothing more than bite her lip, nod as the other women stated their truth, and them chime in with a  “She speaks the truth,” and a downcast glance, as if the truth was painful. Was it not?  “We do not want to be a burden… not when it can put so many others at risk.” She dared not say more, lest her voice crack and she crumble to tears.
