Jah-Lilah
someday, we will foresee obstacles
Even if the sky is falling down...
Jah-Lilah was dreaming again today. Her head was filled with visions of Taiga being swallowed up. She could hear the screams, see the image of the malicious stallion(Carnage, they had called him), feel the wrath of the faeries. She felt crushed and defeated all over again. Her spiritual connection to everything around her and to the Earth-Mother wouldn't let her rest easy. As she relived the death of a nation, her heart wept. The pain felt almost physical, as if all that the Earth-Mother felt, my little firefly felt with her. This nightmare was almost worse than when she defeated The Underneath's minion. Except at least she could escape The Underneath's grasp. Where does she run when the beast is in her own mind?
Jah-Lilah is jolted awake just as one of Carnage's wolves reach out to snap her up. She panics for a moment, then sees the bodies of her family, Circinae and Crevan, dozing next to her and she instantly calms. She felt as though she wanted to touch them, grab them, snatch them, to make sure they were truly there, alive in front of her. She doesn't wake them. This is the first time since the demolition of her Wolf's homeland any of them have had any semblance of rest, as unsound as that sleep was. She stepped a pace closer, watching them slumber. They were breathtaking, her mate and her son. Crevan had grown so much since that fateful winter day she had come to Taiga seeking Circinae. He was blooming into a hell of a stud, and could have been Canaan's brother, he so favored him. Then there was Circinae.
Who could have thought when my Jah-Lilah had come here she'd find such a creature. The mare was sleek, smart, shaped by the water and the lupine inside of her. Sometimes Jah-Lilah would just watch the girl, and seeing her in action earlier during the emergency...she was flawless. She had slowly been starting to master her teleportation skills, and it showed. My flower reaches over and nibbles Circinae's withers, then noses at her midnight mane, inhaling all of her in. She moves to Crevan, licking up behind his ear and wuffling softly. She sighed, wishing Canaan and Corvus were here. She missed them terribly, and longed for Circinae to be reunited with all of her boys. Canaan especially. The pair had welcomed Jah-Lilah in so completely, so easily, she wondered if there was a catch. So far the Earth-Mother played no game with Jah's emotions, this was real, her mates and her family unit all was-
Jah-Lilah's train of thought is cut short by a cry that rips into her soul and has her completely on edge. Her head shoots up and her muscles are rigid, nose twitching as she desperately tries to confirm what she's just heard. His call reaches her ears again and she whinnies back, long and loud, her silvery voice cutting the crisp night air. She whirls and pirouettes on a hind leg to reach round and deliver a nip to both of her companions. She roughly nudges Circinae into alertness, all grogginess had been spooked out of her. "Wolf, get up! It's him!" She turns to Creven and begins bumping him towards the river. "Fire-Fang, come, we must go, now." With that, she lights up the night, looking for any sign of the winged wanderer. She looks back at her family, waiting for Circy to lead the way.
...I know that we'll be safe and sound.
