Seren
I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
Destined to seek, destined to know
Destined to seek, destined to know
Undercurrents. Words exchanged, sentiments unspoken - at least to her ears - and yet Seren peeled her eyes from her father to her mother. Wide eyed, wondering. There was something very awfully tense about them, that she couldn't understand. She was finally meeting her dad, and the moment was almost as wonderful as she had pictured it... yet something was niggling at the back of her mind. Something that tasted an awful lot like guilt.
Like she shouldn't be here.
Yet Ronin held out a hand for her, said she could come, and the heart of the child swelled impossibly, filled with so much joy and elation it should be impossible for her to contain it all. She had taken all of three steps towards him, hand held out to take his, when she suddenly hesitated. Turned her head back towards Safrin, when she realized that she was about to leave Mother behind.
"Mama?" she said, a little lost. Torn between them, looking from one to the other. She wanted to be with them both so much, and yet... no matter which way she went, she would have to lose one.
It was a first, for her choices to have these kinds of consequences.

I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam
