Sohalia
Say my name
And every color illuminates
And every color illuminates
Soh would be happy if she could stay here forever.
The sun was out, the temperature was perfect, and a light breeze played with her golden hair as she sat in the Barrows outside of Wrenzoak’s Refuge, her head tilted up to enjoy the sun’s warmth. Tarak played in the nearby grass, stalking unsuspecting mice. Every now and then, Soh felt a flare of satisfaction through the bond that told her he’d been successful in his hunt.
It was a lazy sort of morning for the young Heart, one that had brought her no small amount of peace. She’d been working nonstop ever since Jude had left, the better to fill her mind and ignore her emotions. Things were complicated enough in Stormbreak without dealing with her personal drama: the Abandoned were finally being welcomed into the city, and she’d been busy with preparations. So, too, had she been puzzling over how to approach Koa about his recent political blunder with Halo.
Sometimes she wondered if she wouldn’t be better off had she never assumed leadership. If she’d never left the Hollowed Grounds. But that was neither here nor there.
Sitting in the grass was calming, and the sound of birds chirping and bees buzzing filled her ears as she considered, briefly, laying back to take a nap in the sun. But then a familiar figure appeared, and Soh sat up straighter as her eyes widened in recognition.
”Dad?”

”Dad?”
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
And we will never be afraid again
