Ryu'Rage was laying on her side in the roguelands, open territory, dying grass and dust around her, Her tail flicked once pitifully as she sighed and intook a deep, though shallow breath. She was tired, in pain, her back was aching more and more from the fall, and an emptiness inside was consuming her being, every fiber, every drop of blood.
Everything was appearing at nothing.
She still couldn't smile, and it made Od sad, made her sad.
An emptiness inside.
Rolling over she felt a change in the wind, almost as if the air was growing heavy and cold, the clouds were darkening overhead, and she heard a rumble in the not so distant distance, she waited for the crackles of light, waited, and kept her silver hues fixated on the sky.
Waiting...

Nix'Annada was amongst the clouds, a smile on her face as her feathered wings carried her through damp air and she would send of a spark here and there, brilliant white and gold and blue so bright as he moon as stars. So much heat and energy in each bolt and spark, sometimes it felt as if she was giving life and warmth to the cold air around her.
Though there was an emptiness inside.
Her sister was still out of reach it seemed.
Flying as a lack form, her stripes glowing as sparks darted from her paws, she peered down to earth where her paws could touch the soil much as mortals could, and saw a dark black thing, a mass of black as if the night has collided into one form, single and alone.
A spark flew from her paws, and a light flashed down as if testing the figure whether they be brave or stupid, and bright silver reflected back up to Nix.
Could it...?

Silver eyes watched and seemed to trade a supposed shadow amongst the dark gray canvas that blanketed the brilliant blue sky. Sparks and bolts shot from an unknown source across the sky, etching ech cloud, and one falling almost to touch the earth. A bright light shown bright as the moon, and brilliant blue reflected down to Rage, reflected in her own silver hues, she stood, and peered up, wings limp at her sides.
She was too tired to fly, too achy to move much.
Rage wasn't sure what to believe, a seemingly black figure staring back at her with bright blue eyes...was her mind playing a trick on her? A memory form the past come into reality? No, but could it, could it?
"I don't want to be tortured anymore!" she cried upwards, speaking to the unknown figure or illusion, "Leave me be to relish in my own pain, I don' want to hurt anymore!"

Nix tilted her head, kept herself hovering above earth as she peered down at the figure, now moving, standing, peering up at her, either dazed or confused, or both, but what were those at the figures side? Black adorned with red tips...red and black, red, black, and silver..could it be?
With a jolt Nix moved an began to dive down, letting sparks fly from her paws she masked herself in blinding blue and white light, sparks flying around her, over her wings, legs, her blue eyes settled on the form, a goddess, black, red, silver, a goddess, an immortal...Rage, could it be?
"Sister?"
She called out in question, a voice hoping to jolt memories...
Nix wanted the only part of her family back.
Landing with a bang, the bolts and sparks dissipated, leaving Nix, her stripes glowing then slowly fading to their normal white, she uttered no words, just waited, stood and watched.

The word came and was like a stab in her heart and soul, it made Rage take a step back, a pounding in her heart began to thrum, and it pained her, anticipation, stress, want, prayer, hope, all in one, taking its toll internally as her mind battled it out within.
Flicking her tail, trying to pull her wings back onto her back with no avail, Rage watched as the dark figure began its plunge, lightning, lightning, something there, a jolt, a flash of a memory before her eyes, smiling faces, rolling around, tiny figures having fun, playing together.
Landing with a crash she tilted her head, watched as the sparks fell from its veil around the other...from the goddess, Rage could see the wings, the stripes, another flash, promises made in the night, two forms huddled together on stormy nights where tears would flow from silver.
The flashing continued, a name, a being, "Nix," she spoke, not a question, but of fact. A flash of literal beings together, promises of family not of blood but of heart, soul containment.
She could feel a creak, a pull at the corners of her mouth.

Nix gave a smile to her, kept her own eyes settled upon the silver hues of her sister, her literal sister, the only family she had left in this world. She took a step closer, and stopped, as if to test the stability of her thoughts and mind, Nix could remember well that her sister had problems with internal control, Nix remembered making promises to never leave her behind, to always be there when she needed her.
She was here now.
"You remember..." she said softly, as a fact, she could see the look in her eyes, it made her smile, she watched as the emotionless appeal on her sister's face seemed to somewhat distort almost into a half smile.
Smiling, was difficult for Rage, that she knew.
"Its alright," she said, letting her wings fall from her back, taking another step, tears almost in her own eyes, it had been so long, "Its alright, let go...its alright."

"I remember," Rage said, watching her, not moving, feeling a somewhat burn on her eyes, her vision was becoming blurry from the tears pooling at the corner of her silver hues, could this be real, was it true, was her mind playing another trick on her, being cruel once more?
Or could she actually be faced with something that could bring her happiness?
Taking a step forward herself, Rage was right before Nix, several tears falling from her eyes, more of a creak in her frown now, slowly curling upwards, her black mane falling into her view as the win blew gently, as the clouds began to lighten in hue.
It was alright it was...
Rage could not utter any words of the feelings swirling inside of her at that moment, all she could do was let the emotionless expression of hers fade away, a smile replacing it, a smile that had taken how many years to reveal itself.
A smile.
Stepping closer Rage raised her wings and leaned her head against Nix's neck, wrapping her wings around her literal sister's shoulders at an attempt of a hug, an embrace greatly needed to feel alive.
A smile.

Nix could only smile and let her own tears fall from her eyes as she saw a smile cross Rage's face. She didn't say a word, just as Rage did not, no words could express what both felt at that moment in time, a family reunited, best friends together, sisters for life.
Her her felt whole again, like she was at home.
Nix did the same as Rage, wrapping her wings around her best friend, finally finding some peace.
Now that they had found each other, Nix would say, and hopefully help Rage conquer the struggle inside.
She would stay.
And they would smile.

Rage let the tears fall, he tears that she had held in for too long, some droplets turned red as they fell, blood of remorse and sadness, though happiness now. She had found a part of her past which she believed was lost to the wind, but she was wrong, and now she had a family again.
Nix was her family.
Nix would always be her family, no matter what.
Rage pulled back after a few moment, smiled at Nix, and gave a laugh, soft and tired. "Look at us, we haven't seen each other in so long, and we're crying, look at us."

Nix gave a giggle and shook her head, her white fluffy mane falling into her view, she chuckled and laughed as well, shaking the tears loose from her cheeks, "I know, I know! This proves we real are sisters," she said with a smile, happy and excited to see a smile on the face of Rage, even when they had been cubs, it had been hard for Rage to smile even then.
Their coming together must've sparked something inside Rage's heart.
"We should go," she said, pulling her wings to her back, wanting a nice walk now after flying for so long, she remembered when they were together, they would go on walks, and talk of the most random things they could think up, of the future, cubs, families, places, anything.
"Lets go find a place to stay tonight, we need to catch up," she said with a smile, taking a step, waiting for Rage.
The future would forever be interesting now, yes indeed.

Rage smiled, and gave a nod in response, smile on her face, a little bit of a lift in her heart and energy, though she was still quite fatigued, you could see it in her eyes.
Things would be different now.
She turned and watched Nix, and followed after her, and then they walked side by side as they used to so long ago, they would peer at each other as they walked, and give a laugh, keep in step with one another.
The future looked brighter now.
"Yea, lets go home..."
Home could be anywhere now, as long as they had each other.
