Ouroboros Spine i loved you like the sun

Anaa?

Vairë’s voice was a tired croak for @Kukutux , her eyes searching for the older woman’s white fur among the trees.

She was tired. So tired, tired of waiting, tired of being alone with three children and no husband. Winter was nipping at their heels, and no husband was with her at her hearth. Vairë was alone.

Even with her family around her, even with her excitement to see Inkalorë again, even with all of that. She had lived as a married woman for so short a time, something she had so desperately not wanted. She had left her home for him, had moved to the sea, had dealt with her fair share of dramatic horrors, and after all that.

She was alone.

She never wanted to be alone again.
