Anden
The Sun and the Moon
In an endless game of hide and seek
Anden smiled as Dani sat beside him. He could sit there beside Dani forever, and he wouldn't mind. The silence between them wasn't striking, it was soothing. Neither had to say anything, they could just enjoy the beauty of the glade together, in peace. He pulled off his jacket and gently placed it over Dani, to keep her warm. "One of the advantages of being an ascended." Anden said lightly. After his fight with Aline, he had started to see parts of his new being as less of a curse, and more of a new way of living. Though he still hadn't come to accept it.
The mention of home perked Anden's interest. The pair were close, and they talked about much, but their homes before they'd met each other was not a topic that came up often. "Then your home must have truly been beautiful." Anden whispered.
He found himself staring up at the stars. They were perfectly bordered by the treetops. He easily found his tree, and then by tracing from the right-most star, he found Dani's bird. That's how he started his nights away from the Grounds now. Staring into the skies, and finding them. As long as he could find the stars he knew everything was going to be ok.
"It reminds me of home too." Anden admitted. It was the trees. The tall trees dancing in their colours always attracted him. Like a moth to a flame, he could stand beneath them forever. "Did you meet anyone new today?"
