Firefly watched her sibling with mild interest, she knew the girl was of no worries to the pack, that there was little she could or even would do to attempt to even try. At the words that she spoke Firefly's ears flicked back in disbelieve. The dark hued littermate had always been the one who'd been so absorbed with the stories their father told while Iskata had looked on with mild amusement. Iskata's stories had always been more along the lines of fairytales, except the lands in the stories were real and so were the folk. Some had happy endings, some did not. Moreso their father's were happy, except the one about how Ember got her name. "You lie.." she said softly to the girl before her as she shifted from paw to paw, the snow settling on her silky pelt as she went on anyways.
"Ember was not only beautiful on the outside but she harbored such a fire on the inside that even when there seemed to be nothing but ash there was still the glowing warmth below that would blossom into something amazing if given the chance.." She turned her emerald eyes back towards her sister as she spoke softly. "Over time the woman seemed to fall away, to hide from the world.. and with time it seemed the world forgot about her.. until it was too late." She narrowed her eyes at the sibling before her. "You really want to fade away and let that fire die? Just because someone hurt you doesn't mean your life's over." She shook her head slowly, not really knowing what to do with the girl anymore. She'd once been just like Firefly, filled with a fierce spirit that the would couldn't tame... she wasn't so certain if the flame still flickered beneith the ashes though.
