Closure



“ARIA!”

Deyanira screamed the name to the sky as her mantle flared up; the new Red Victor standing in the centre of the court; all applauding and cheering her. Her connection to Summer strengthened and solidified, and her joy at success filled her heart.

Later, once the challenge by Gla’sea had been resolved and the Summer Court meeting was over she found a bit of time to pause and reflect.

Aria would have been proud. She knew that. Not because of becoming Red Victor; because after all, that meant leading the charge into battle and generally meant her life expectancy had just dropped. But she’d found a new life; a new motley; and even managed to ask Adrianne out successfully.

When she got home she looked around her room; and slowly packed away the photo album that were filled with photos of Aria and Carin’s wedding; the dress she’d worn as bridesmaid and the dried flower posy into a trunk; locked it up and put it at the top of the wardrobe behind a box of paperwork and a spare pair of steel toe capped shoes.

She’d never forget Aria, but now it was time to move on. She ambled towards the kitchen thoughtfully, wondering what kind of cupcake Adrianne would like.

don't be silly! She'll probably do what she always does, stick her head in a book and pretend it didn't happen

:-) She passed the buck - her other amazing skill. She *likes* Dey, that is the problem!

the least likely person there, Astraea is a little surprised by it herself

good grief no - she doesn't want Dey dead!
