Moonspear Collision Course

Dated for February 1st. Keeping details vague in reference to this thread. @Sialuk.

The star queen's emotions reeled. Crashing, colliding into one another. Her head felt so full it almost hurt. And her heart... Swollen with so much pain. So much passion.

How much longer would she be able to hold this great tide of feelings at bay?

They all centered around three momentous figures in her life. Acrux, her adored son. Argent, her devoted lover and father of her children. And Alaric, a steady constant, always, here at the mountain.

She couldn't help it that day when they returned home. She had known something had stirred within her long ago, growing over the weeks and months. It seemed like the impish man was always there when she or a loved one needed him.

He was there when she came home, her leg broken. It was he who mended her. It was he who so often entertained the kids with his melodious songs. Or shared with them his wealth of knowledge of herbs.

And once more, it was he who had come to her son's aid. Had brought him back to her.

Alive.

Argent may be Acrux's biological father, but his duty to fulfill his bride price to Sialuk called him away. Elentari would not blame him for this, or for what had befallen their child. She still loved him as deeply as the day they wove the fabric of Acrux into existence. 

But Alaric...

Always there. Just as much as a father as Argent was. Blood meant nothing. Stepping into the role beautifully, if she had to say.

And now, she wondered... It was eating at her. Too much! Too much!

She mustn't keep this to herself any longer. With low cries, she skirted to Sialuk's ulaq. Her other half, who understood her so well. Surely this time would be no different.
