King Elk Forest Hurry up, we are dreaming!

@Maia 

Right before sunrise Wraen had nudged Maia awake and told her in a conspirational whisper: "Let's disappear!" Occasions to escape the Sun Mote Copse unseen and no-questions-asked were far and few between. And though as a Sovereign Wraen had no duty to explain to anyone, where she went or why, leaving in secret had a certain charm about it.

Boy, did she need an escape. The familial bliss and joy of Towhee and the rest of the united front that consisted of Blackthorns and Redhawks had begun to drive her crazy recently. The fuss around the young mother made her annoyed and - yes - jealous. It was not an easy thing to accept that you were never going to have children, but it was so muh more difficult, when others could and did. 

Wraen did not talk much along the way, it was very obvious that she was very eager to get away. And as the sounds and familiar smells faded, as the distance between the two sisters and Firebirds continued to increase, the Sovereign's frown and somewhat stressed expression gave way to one that looked younger and was no longer that careworn.

"It's good to be out, don't you think?" she asked Maia, when she had stopped to breathe in the wonderful smell of early spring. "Though you should know this beter than me."
