[private] a shadow in paradise

your waves are pulling me under
i'm caught in your riptide

She couldn’t imagine the last year—even the last few years—to be any better. The last year had been filled with wonderful memories. Moments she would always cherish. Eva is only realizing now that these last few years have gone by TOO fast! Her oldest son, Aeolus, was now a fully grown adult. She couldn’t imagine that her sweet Loire would be one too next spring. How did it all past by so quickly? She thinks to herself as a soft smile curls on her thin soft lips. The purple nereid couldn’t imagine seeing her two oldest children leaving Ischia. Aeolus was certainly drawn to live his days out in the open waters and perhaps remain close to one of the islands in Beqanna. However, Loire seemed eager to make her way to other parts of Beqanna—somehow the water had become a frightening place for her. At least she still had her youngest twins to hold onto for a little longer. Eva loved the newest addition to her family. She especially loved sharing it with her friend Velkan. He was even eager himself to be part of the family, and she couldn’t fathom Donny and Millicent having a better father than Velkan. Overall, he was wonderful in every way. Perhaps she would consider having another one next season. Eva certainly loved having little ones to look after and care for. Nah! She says with a shake of her head and laughing softly. The purple mare was truly enjoying her freedom by not having another foal this year. Maybe she would just hold off on a little longer. After all, she had some other plans and things she wanted to attend to. Out of the corner of her eye, the nereid spots the black-antler stallion. Her smile instantly grows as she sees the beautiful array of tropical flowers arranged all over him. Their children certainly loved decorating Velkan with flowers found throughout the island. She was glad Velkan didn’t mind at all—some of them indeed complimented him very well, especially the magenta flowers he had on today. “Hello Velkan,” she greets warmly back to him. “I’m doing well today! How are you?” Her golden gaze flickers to the magenta flowers once more. “I must say that color looks great on you,” she adds with a grin before returning her gaze back to his.
