The foot-beats that came upon her that early eveningtide only went unpercepted for a moment — the woman whirled around, suddenly more aware and awake, and saw her brother wordlessly standing away from her.

Eleuthera hadn’t disappeared from Seelie Court as much as she did take a brief leave of absence — she was a scout at heart and prone to her wanderings, after all. Perhaps this particular journey had taken her far away, for far too long, because when she returned she had found the Court on its last leg, with Lumiya making the choice to seek shelter elsewhere than fail to hold the willows. Since then, the lilac shewolf had made her bed within and around the Hushed Willows, unsure exactly what to do now.

As far as, where to go from here? There was no where else to be. Eleuthera was learning that her place was exactly here, in these mountains, with her grove of beloved weeping trees. Bad things happened to her families when she left, so it seemed. She had not seen her silvered sibling since her return, and could not help but smile to see him. The woman wasn’t sure if he had moved on, with the other fairies — but she knew that they had the same blood within them. For those who bore the name Shakti, moving on did not come so easy.

Sundance didn’t seem as happy to see her — maybe he just didn’t recognize her from this distance, or was surprised to see her. “Sundance!” the sprite called out and glided closer to where he stood at the ravine, approaching with familiarity. “The sun has set on another willow pack, so it seems.” She spoke with a sardonic brightness that she felt the two siblings had earned, having now experienced the demise of their forest family twice.
