The sound of feet running against
the grass could be heard a mile away. When the footsteps came closer, I broke
from my thoughts. I turned around to see who it was behind me and saw a blue
eyed, brunette girl - my younger sister, Breena. Two pale green wings spread
out from beneath her hair, illuminating the glitter that accommodated the
beautiful pattern of glittered green lilies marking her face starting from behind
her eyebrow and fell beneath her eyes.
“I knew I would find you here!”
Breena said excitedly.
“Hey there, dragonfly!” I greeted
her.
Breena began walking closer to me,
falling directly under the sunlight, her skin glowing while her wings and lily
markings began to dissolve from the direct exposure to the sun. “Mother and
father were shaking their wings with worry, driving the entire staff crazy.
They didn’t know where you had disappeared off to. I told them I had a small
feeling where you might be, so I asked them for permission to come look for
you. I figured you would be somewhere in the woods so I decided to start here,
and I was right to find you here,” Breena said in one breath before a smile
appeared on her face, making her skin glow even more. “Now that I have found
you, it’s my duty to inform you that it’s time for you to come home for
breakfast.”
“Why did you come all the way over
here so early?” Breena asked.
“I was just thinking about some
things.”
“What kind of things?” Breena asked.
I shifted my gaze from Breena and
began looking at a space between two large trees. “Just things about what it
would be like to go through the portals that separate the realms.”
