Perhaps it was the wanderer in Areane that thrilled with each new discovery she found the further they went into Tephra. There were creatures that she had never seen before (the puffkeets were her favorite, though she had learned to give their nests a wide berth after a rather terrifying encounter with a brave bird). There were other kinds of birds - one for every color that Areane had ever seen and then some - as well as leopards and a sloth that she had even spied once overhead.
But tonight, it isn’t the creatures of their new home that capture her imagination. The familiar flash of light nearby tells her that Starros is near and the young pegasus smiles, moving through the ferns behind her latest creation. It continues to travel, eventually moving so far that she loses track of it, but Areane doesn’t mind. She is smiling when her amethyst eyes find the light blue stallion, and despite her brother’s indignant huff, it doesn’t spoil her delight. ”Atleast you can do something with your light,” Areane speaks out, letting her voice come a little louder now that she was certain it was Starros out here.
There is very little moonlight tonight - thanks to a waning moon - so as she continues to approach her brother, Areane glows very dimly. She has never minded the way that she glows; but there is nothing she can do with it. Not like Starros can. His ability to maneuver light had fascinated her even when they had been small, and despite growing older, it still continues to do so. He could even craft his own wings out of it, where hers were just plain, dark feathers.
Which brought her to the reason why she had sought out Starros so eagerly. Maybe this broke a rule, but the night was warm and the stars were bright. It was a perfect opportunity for an evening flight, and despite knowing that their father might have been apprehensive about it, Areane thought they should take it.
"There might be lava flows tonight," she murmurs, repeating what a passing Tephran had told her. "I thought it might be fun to see what they look from the sky," comes her excited voice, "Somebody told me you can see their glow all the way from the islands." The air around them shimmers enthusiastically.
"Plus," she adds with a conspiratorial smile, trying to tempt her brother into joining this adventure, "have you seen the volcano yet?"
