"It's a strange thing fate... You can't control it, you can't change it, as it walks hand in hand with destiny."
- Airis Fox[the lost girl]
Airis Fox is a girl whom was raised to believe that everyone has a path already set in stone since the momen...
Once I had made sure that my satchel was still on my back I quickly mounted the horse before urging her into gallop and off we were. 'I'm going home' I thought sadly, I was not nearly as excited as I was hoping to be. Not with the welcoming committee I just recieved ...

It's been two months since everyone began to shun Airis, myself included though not by choice.
Sweet Airis who had risked her own life to save that ungrateful girl. In the mean time Aros and I had gotten together whilst she was left to suffer in pain alone. When he asked me to be his boyfriend I was ecsatic! But I had wanted someone to share the good news with and there wasn't anyone worth telling except the lost girl. As Aros and I became closer he had started telling me all about his family. How they had ignored and hated him when they found out that he preferred male over female. Finally I knew how to broach the subject. How to get him to not only listen to me but to understand.
"So then why are you doing it?" I asked as I turned my back you him. I tried to sound nonchalant. As if askibg about the weather instead of this very touchy subject. "She is a fire elemental" he stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Yes Aros she is..." I trailed off. "But she is also your sister"
"She is a fire elemental, love" Aros sighed, shaking his head as if to shake away the idea. "Who excepted you when your family found out you were gay?" I asked now facing him. I wanted to see if he was still the same Aros he had been when I had first gotten to know him. The same guy who had smiled so lovingly at his little sister. The same guy that bragged about how amazing and kind she is. "She did" he mumbled as his gaze shifted to the dark stone floor beneath our feet. "Who?" I asked pretending not to have heard him. "Airis"
"And how did they treat her when she chose you over her families wishes?" I asked. I had to make him see that what he was doing was wrong! "They hated her, almost more than they hated me... " he whispered. His eyes never lifted from the floor. His eyes I could see were calculating, working out how what I was saying was different to how he was believing. He gasped. I smiled.
Finally I could see that he was beginning to understand what I was implying. "And when she was shunned here, at school, what did you do?" I ranted as I began to pace up and down the length of my bed. My smile disappearing just as quick as it had come. My thoughts are running wild and my heart is beating erratically. It almost hurts. I can still see her pain filled eyes flashing through my head. I had avoided her the first month because I hadn't the heart to look into those very eyes.
"You did exactly what your family did except here there was no one to take her side!" I exploded, yes as her brother I expected more of him, but more than that, I mad at myself. 'Ididn'tdoanythingeither!' I thought sadly. I could've been the pillar that she needed.
