She has always been partial to dusk and dawn; the times of day when the world lingers between dark and light. With her body spun of shadow and leaving a trail of golden light in her wake, she wondered if she appreciated it just a little more than the rest of them. Her shadows and her light were both so much a part of her that she knows she could never give up one for the other.
With dawn quickly approaching she finds herself in the forest, making her way towards the meadow in hopes of catching the sunrise. But a sound above her causes her to stop, and she watches for a moment with her golden eyes as the two bats flutter anxiously around the tree. She can’t speak bat, but she recognizes a creature in trouble when she sees it.
“Are you guys lost?” She asks them even though they cannot exactly reply, and perhaps it is her cloak of shadows that draws them close, but at the sound of her voice the duo flit nervously around her head. Glancing towards the edge of the forest, where she can just barely make out the lightening sky, she nods in understanding. “Ah, you need to get back home, yes?”
Taking a chance, she conjures a portal of shadow, and with the two young bats she enters it, landing them near an area she knew a colony of bats resides. Her guess was correct, it seems, when the two of them, after fluttering in what she assumes is happiness near her face, join their family just as the first golden rays of light stretch across the horizon.
