_____First things first, Corona was already out to make a mental map of such a new place. Now that she was settled with Inferni once again, she knew she'd be an even better help to her brother if she knew more about the area that encompassed. Gabriel had told her where to stay away from and pointed out where that was, so for the time being Corona didn't think she'd be heading off in any direction towards Dahlia de Mai any time soon. Not while they had Talitha, at least. But the very notion of it made her blood boil, it let a seething anger slowly course its way through her veins. _____But for now, it wasn't the only thing on her mind. There were still unanswered questions she wanted to ask and even now it was a little hard not to think of the destruction that the fire on the other side of the mountain had caused. She couldn't help but wonder what siblings were still around and she wondered if her father was there or if he had moved on. Then of course, there were thoughts of what she had left behind before Marlowe had told her to go back. It seemed as though no matter what she did, she was always brought back home. Not that there was anything wrong with that, it had finally dawned on her just what sort of concrete position she needed to take. _____As she came to a stop where a small stream ran through the thick forest, Corona pushed her nagging thoughts aside. It wasn't the time to regret, it wasn't the time to worry, she was supposed to be out there figuring out things about the countryside that was more or less home. A permanent home, she reminded herself, not longer having the desire to travel knowing that things hadn't changed whether or not she was there. The only things that had changed was the size of her collective family, but on a whole, Inferni was the same. The family that remained there was the same and she hadn't changed that much either. |
