Seren
I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
Destined to seek, destined to know
Destined to seek, destined to know
She very much enjoyed making people laugh, and beamed back at him, looking rather pleased with the reaction. "Not yet. When I have a garden, I can learn." It would be rather difficult to figure it out without one, after all. And the wildgrown tangle of a jungle surrounding the houses just took care of itself, it didn't count.
His assurance that Mother would be happy to see her again made the little girl nod, bolstered by the tone. It helped her remember Mother's voice, and her soft hands, and how she was supposed to look at the sky when she was sad or lonely. Only... looking up now would only show her dark clouds, as the volcano continued to spew ash and soot, obscuring the blue sky.
She was distracted when he showed her the ice. Seren loved magic, and the shiny piece of translucent water brought all her magpie instincts to awaken at once. Releasing his hand, she reached for the ice, and picked it up.
At first she didn't think much of it, just held it up into the light to see how it refracted within the ice. But slowly, the girl became aware of a creeping discomfort in her hands. It spread up her arms, into the shoulders until they ached, and she had to drop the ice back onto Loren's palm. Out of pure instinct.
Startled, and even more curious, Seren touched her fingers to her face and shivered in delight at feeling how cold they were. She reached for the ice again, and once more held it until she couldn't anymore... It was the strangest sensation, and quite a lot of fun. Her eyes glowed with interest as she kept playing, delighted by the simple sensory game.

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