Crimson eyes heavy with his burden of confusion and untangling memories flickered up as the flash of grey swam across his vision. Unsure at first if she was real, or he was seeing things from sleep deprivation he blinked.
And blinked again when she got closer. Oh. She was real.
"Hello" definitely real. "Are you lost?" he blinked, considering her words for a moment. ❝ I...think so, but not in the way most become lost ❞ the words weighed heavy on his tongue. ❝ I...do not have a home...anymore. ❞ he couldn't go back. Surely his mother would accept him should he return, but in his mind he'd been gone too long.
Nearly three moons. Far too long. Too long to change his mind and go crawling back to mommy. He was dedicated to this decision, whether he liked it or not. And besides, the change had brought with it an age of transformation for the young man, unlocked parts of himself he apparently had no access to before.
Maybe it was the loneliness that had brought them on, maybe the independence. He couldn't decipher it just yet, but Rinon knew one thing for certain, that the stars called him.
❝ I think - I need to start anew. ❞ maybe he shouldn't have come here. Rinon wasn't even sure where here was, just that the peaks were his access point to the beyond.
