Solira: The Ocean: MICAH; BRING ME MICAH

lost and found and then lost again;

Aian waits by the side of the sea. The Earth in her eyes, in her stride, in her very essence. But who will be here to welcome her now when her Corpsefiend is away? He is elsewhere.. and she is here. Her heart buried in the sand. She knows other faces here, doesn't she?

Her mind hisses, Alcatraz, but she ignores it, foolishness forgotten. Marshall, Elemmire's student.. Her own-- Micah, Kemush, how could she have forgotten them? Gecko Her mother's old friend. Nicodemus! so this is where he ran off to.. She is happy to see him again, but sad to know she will not be able to see him forever.

Beltane of Phlegethon, now Beltane the Solirian. Choke!; oh, how she misses his creepy green eyes. And she knows that he is missed by another, but in a way so much more magical than hers. And as her eyes lilt over Lilium it is then that she knows her daughter.. her second daughter. And she is almost a twin of Sarai.

She looks down at the daughter she never wanted, but has grown to care for. Or well, she will love her--she knows this infinitely. No matter what the little red and white blob does, Aian will love her.

And here she is, wondering if she can say his name--it's been so long. Micah.. I need you. It is her mind, and not her. But she could not say his name. And now Sarai has a father. ( she had one all along, but i wanted to wait to let it out. )
