Thoughts of a ‘Thill

 

“Metamorphosis is the most profound of all acts.”

Waves lapped at the sand on the calm night beneath the heavens that had twinkled above. The gentle breeze shifted amongst the skies and brushed against the golden trees that had enshrouded her view. Flame-hued locks cascaded down her back and shifted in the seabreeze as she strolled along the coast that bordered the city of stars. She remained unaccompanied in the night apart from the thoughts that rolled through her mind at the speed of the waves that the tide pulled in. 

 

“Home.”

 

She spoke out loud a single utterance that encompassed the topic of her thoughts. She came to a stop along the shoreline to sit in the sand. A quiet observance came to pass as Valyris Wynasul watched the reflection of the moon distort across the sea. Reflections of the moonlight were not the only reflection made that night. She had come to an understanding that she had changed at a fundamental level, even if she was too prideful to admit to her metamorphosis of the psyche. Over the past several decades she had grown into someone new, someone which she was finally proud of. 

 

Her thoughts echoed through her mind with her heels digging into the sand, perhaps an unintentional confliction of saying farewell. Farewell not only to who she once was, but farewell to being able to return to the life she once had within the Silver Isles. She had become unencumbered by any burdens of expectation that were placed upon her shoulders; unbridled potential as she was born anew. She had the potential of a new life to carve for herself, and one that she was unable to look back from now that it had started. It was a new home, one she had crafted for herself and those she had loved, it was true progress. Progress that she had finally become happy with, progress within herself that she did not think possible. 

 

The tide rolled in at significantly higher speeds underneath the cloud dusted atmosphere, the water stopping just before her feet that were outstretched towards the endless blue. Closing her eyes, she let out a long sigh, such relaxation not having been felt for years. Overbearing weight dropping off her shoulders with her final release from the mental shackles that had held her from her truest potential for life. 

 

The sea had finally reached her, and she was finally home amongst the city of stars.

No one would have knowledge of this IRP, it was just a post for character development with Valyris leaving Haelun’or to Celia’nor. :)
