I know it is something very special to be with another one on one. Intimately, your sole existence is entirely wrapped up in that one individual for that almost standstill in time. For Dot and Wyn, I entirely understand the bonds between them are so fragile as it is. The destructiveness that could have happened while they were separated for so long...

...I'm at peace, knowing they are threading those ties to last a lifetime.

As I sit next to Princess Edith in the chair while she's unconscious on the bed, something strikes me. Dot will be reborn, does that mean our bonds will all be shattered with her the second that moment comes into fruition?

A heaviness sets above my heart at the wonder my mind mulls over.

Will we all have to wait for her...

...for her to become who she is once again before attaining those bonds?

As much as Dot has been wondering about the outcome of her existence, especially locked in Elysium. I'm sure it's been worse than before, now I must wonder the same thing regarding our existence as mates individually and as a cohesive bond...a secular unit.

I want to believe that this is all part of the Moon Goddess' plan, that I shouldn't question and worry...to just take the moments we have with each other now as they are. Embrace, enjoy and live with what we have for the time being as we really can't be sure of the future.

All that matters now is figuring out how to help Dot with what she needs.

Where do we go from here?

She mentioned that she came face to face with Aeon's vessel, though it's now been morphed to his own desires and needs. The specifications that separate a vessel from a god or goddess' true form dwindles in between. They cannot exist on this plane of existence without a vessel, so what has Aeon done to his vessel?

I exhale sharply, my heart skipping a beat as I clutch a hand to my heart. I feel it within the center of my chest, the ebbing glow that briefly flickers before it extinguishes entirely.

They are bound.

Tears form in my eyes at the overwhelming emotion that crashes against my soul in the wake of theirs. It truly is beautiful...

...Dot and Wyn truly have known each other longer than I have known her.

My free hand rests on Princess Edith's shoulder as she rests, her chest slowly rises and falls in a gentle rhythm.

Her presence here alone...

...it's because of Princess Edith that time has not been wasted, waiting for something to happen. She cast us through the darkness and closer to the light, closer to Dot...she did that. Though, what worries me is what Dot mentioned, that it is Princess Edith's wolf that is her driving force behind her innate gift from the Moon Goddess.

How strong will she be when she shifts?

Will we even experience that during this era...

...or will she be reborn before that has a chance to happen?

I grasp the sides of my head, gritting my teeth together before I suddenly hear the door open to the adjoining room. My heart skips a beat as I lift my gaze, resting it on Dot as she stands there, a glow almost basking around her form. As she slowly shuts the door behind her, she takes a step forward and asks me, "Can we go for a walk?"

My eyes widen, confusion racing through me as I ask, "Edith?"

A soft smile forms on her lips as she nods, "Wyn and Morpheus will care and watch over my little sister," she pauses, taking a few steps toward me and mentioning, "I've not even seen where we are, I'd like to gather my bearings."
