It's alright, Мать.Aelia assured her,
I'd rather have grown up here, than in the high mountains...She shuddered at the thought; enjoying the warmth that the Respite provided her almost all year round. And even when the cold came, she had her twin to snuggle up against and keep her warm. That or the fires that Sreda somehow managed to commit.
Amaranth was almost always in a daze; and not in a way that she wasn't competent, but her mind always seemed to be elsewhere... Not completely here with reality. It was a lovable quality. But when Aelia's voice wavered, uncertainty ran through it after the past few days... with the unveiling of not only Amaris' so-called powers but the truth as well. Her eyes flickered away from her mother and to the pines that led to the waterfall,
Oh, you know... Just the usual... Amaya's bone readings.... Amaris' dreams...She left out the part about the truth that Amaris had confessed to her. Even though he had lied, there was some part of her that knew that it couldn't just be a coincidence that his dreams appeared with some semblance of the truth.
There was something else that bugged her. The fact that both her siblings had... a connection to the divine. While Aelia was just... Aelia. No matter how much she prayed to the Five or meditated, waiting for them to give her a sign. It felt... Bad. Like she was broken in some way. Her eyes returned to her mother now,
And my lack of it all.She shrugged, trying to slink past the underlying truths that she withheld.
Do you think... That I'm not worthy of The Five's attention?She asked her mother, with a tilt of her little head, her mother's own curiosity reflecting in her daughter. Did any of her older siblings struggle with this problem?
