Nova
It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness.
Nova pulls her jean jacket a little tighter when a light breeze presses into her skin, her shoulders coming up to block the wind, her magic markedly quiet as if she deserves the bit of suffering. She purses her lips, trying again to focus on how fast they're moving, how far the borders of the region are, how long it will take for them to finish.
Caly's question draws her attention again, stirring something, forcing her to face the reality of her feelings. There's almost a spark, a frustration that flashes in her eyes as she looks to Caly. "Did you see the look on mom's face?" Her own memory returns to that moment - the disappointment that had fractured her heart and crumbled her confidence - and the frustrated spark turns liquid with sadness, her voice softening as she says, "I failed her." She adjusts the hold on her arms, gaze sliding back to the horizon with a morose mood she can't seem to shake.
