Moonstone Quarry the yoko factor

the smile he'd come to wear like sunshine on a winter morning faded the moment the caravan crossed the border of the spear. if this journey was meant to be of joy, it certainly did not feel like it. 

he knew why this trip was being made, and yet he did not. the details had been explained to him as well as they could be to a child his age, and yet he could not wrap his head around the reasoning. he did not want this to be a goodbye, yet every step left him feeling like it was bound to be. 

rolayne was visibly displeased with this venture, and in this acrux felt a connection with his brother. a part of him then wanted nothing more than to join his younger brothers in their pile and snuggle with them until morning. yet suddenly it felt wrong to do so, as if rodyn's family was there, and his family was over here. a wall was being constructed between the two, and with each step a new brick was place between them. 

maggak's nudge to explore was a welcome distraction from the emotions tumbling inside, and so with a last glance back towards the spear, the greyscale boy set out to join his sister in exploration.
