Welcome to Gaia! ::

As her daughter Isabella's hawk Astor have been used a messenger between Frosta and her sister Celendria, but one of those days, the hawk overheard the talks about their brother coming and cawed loudly, making a beeline toward the ice mare because she was closer to his location than Frosta is. After quickly letting the ice elder know about the news that was floating around about the said brother, he got sent over to Frosta to pass the news and relay the location to meet up with her sister. "Celeduin, your brother is on his way to the lands, Frosta. Celendria wants to meet with you so you guys can seek him out." Astor cawed out the words to the dark blue mare.

Frosta have been travelling across the lands, meeting her large family and reforging bonds with those that have drifted away from the family or isn't aware about Frosta and other parts of the family. It have been a long journey but it is worth it for her because she have brought some of the family members back into the fold along with adopting extra children like Amberlee. Astor have been working overtime to pass the messages between Frosta and Celendria while Frosta was on her travels so the sisters could stay in touch with each other which the wintery female is forever grateful for.

Heading back to her mountain range, Frosta sees the familiar dark figure zooming toward her and she smiles happily at Astor. "Astor, what's the news with Celendria?" She inquires to the hawk as he lands on her back and she turns her head toward him with a smile. As the hawk cawed out the words and message from Celendria, the smile faded from the mare's face and replaced with a confused frown. "We have a brother? his name is Celeduin?" She inquired and when she got confirmation in the hawk's nod. "Lead the way." She says with a smile as the hawk cawed with his large wings spread out, he took off zooming away with the dark colored mare galloping behind him with her pale mane and tail streaming behind her.

As the sun starts to set and the moon starts to rise, Frosta's soft blue eyes had to stay on the hawk as he flies up ahead, cawing out the directions so she won't trip or stumble over things as they moves toward the destination Celendria wants them to meet up at. A loud caw from Astor announcing their arrival to Celendria and the wolf could be heard before he flutters down on Celendria's back, making soft tired clicking noises with his beak. Frosta emerges from the shadowy trees she had to pass through, the moonlight hitting her dark blue body making her look like she is part of the night world with her ethernal blue mane and tail swaying little bit while she moves toward her sister with a smile. "Celendria!" She dances up toward her elder sister and nuzzles her. "I have heard about our brother! Celeduin right? When do you think he is coming?"

Frosta smiles as she snuggles up to her sister while Astor spreads his wings out, fluttering out the skewed feathers and she looks up at her sister when Cel spoke. "Our brother?" She murmurs as she stretches her neck out, looking off into the horizon with a pensive look in her light blue eyes, trying to remember her brother but it was all bits and pieces of memories since she didn't have that great start of her life. "Are you sure its not Astor's wings you are hearing?" She teases her sister while she giggles, glancing over at the hawk whom just looked at her with an even stare before going back to grooming.

"Regardless the results, Celendria.." Frosta softly says as she noses her sister under her muzzle in an affectionate manner. "We will get to have our brother back and our family will slowly be reunited again. We do have our half sisters Aspen and Celsius.. and if I recall.." She looks at her sister. "We have one more full-blooded sister as well yes?" She inquires while she turns her head toward the horizon once again, her tail swishing lightly behind her while she stands beside her sister, waiting for their brother to come.

As her thoughts swirls around inside Frosta's head, pondering about everything since she was very young when she got swept away in the river despite her brother's frantic attempts to save her and she sighs lightly while Astor fusses over her mane. "Avalon...." She allows the name to roll around on her tongue because she doesn't recall meeting her youngest sister when she hatched. As the hawk's body stills and Frosta notices that, looking at the hawk's direction of the stare before Celendria starts to dance excitedly and a huge joyous smile spread across her face.

"What are you waiting for, ladies? Your brother awaits." Astor says with a huge smile on his face before he spots a snow colored hawk soaring into this direction with a lantern dangling from her beak. "Looks like we are going to have more company as well." He cranes his head before he spreads his wings out heading out to meet the rather large hawk that seems to be soaring without any idea to where she's going.

Frosta blinks as she finally sees a large ice snow leopard hawk soaring toward them but her primary focus is on the brother she haven't seen since she was a filly. When Celendria pointed to the spiral descent of their brother, she couldn't help but does a small excited dance next to her older sister before she takes off after her sister with an excited smile on her face and joy in her soft blue eyes. Their manes and tails streams behind them as they races toward the meadow and she throws her head back with a loud spirited whinny, announcing her joy to anyone within the earshot of them. "Celeduin!!" She seems to revert to her filly self as she sprints up ahead of her older sister and she trots toward him, her ears brimming with ears while she couldn't stop smiling ear to ear. "I can't believe you are back, Celediun.." Her voice seems to take on a shaky tone while she fights back the tears of joy.

There's only one thing she wanted in her entire life and that's her family being reunited once again.. and its happening! Frosta's hooves continues to do the excited dance as they reaches to the large male, she extends her muzzle out to reassure herself that they are not dreaming. "I have missed you so much, brother.."

After a moment of foal-like exuberance and joy, Frosta finally starts to settle down and starts to really pay attention to the details and she blinks when she notices that Celediun is definitely different than before. He appears more reserved and uneasy about something and she nuzzles her brother once again before she tucks herself under his wing like she normally does when she was a foal, churring quietly hoping that her presence will help him feel more comfortable. The question floats around in her head- What happened to you, Celediun? Why are you so uneasy, brother? but she knows that he will tell them when the time is ready.

"Avalon..." She frowns a bit as she shakes her head sadly. "I haven't seen her since she popped out of her basket, Celediun but welcome home. We have so much to tell you and show you!." She goes silent as Celendria and Celediun exchanged few words and she giggles at Celediun's surprise about a huge family they have created. "Yeah, I have lost count after great-great grandchildren." Her voice goes soft as her eyes fills with sheer love when she thinks about the family she created with Kinguyakki and Skah and soon to be Rajanikant if things are going down the path she's thinking they are heading down. "We will have to start introducing you to our children so they can proceed in introduce their families they have created. You will be very proud of the huge family we evolved into."

"What about you, Celediun? do we have neices and nephews somewhere out there we can spoil?" She smiles at the brother before she noted the familiars shivering and she feels the familiar pressure of Astor landing on top of her back along with other hawk. She looks over and smiles warmly at both hawks whom is hunkered against each other trying to stay warm. "Yes... our little ones need to warm up. And I am sure you are very hungry, brother. Tiranna always make really delicious treats. You won't be disappointed. You need to meet Miaoka as well. " As she moves with her siblings, she keeps up a stream of small chatter with both of her siblings.

Celendria moved with her siblings a feeling of ease and tenseness feeling her eternal being. Joyousness had soothed her heart finally seeing her brother upon their promise. Still lingering silently within wonderment surrounded her thoughts with her brother's internal struggle. Her own murmurings were soft as the snowfall gently resting along their coats and the ground. Though they were grown she still felt the aura and kinship each carried as a foal since their abrupt departure many years ago. It boggled her mind how something like an impervious storm could of made them forget their own bloodline. Deep down the elder remembered bits and pieces of those fateful nights still trying to piece them like severed memories agelessly lingering yet unreachable. When neither Isolda or Frost returned with their brother even as a filly she knew something had happened unexplainable the family in a whole. Now with her brother returned walking close by his side her mind traveled backwards to the abyss that struggled to bury that which should remain. Shattered visions blinded in the snow burned her eyes remembering herself standing there in the snowstorm calling out for their parents. Simply a small creature the biting winds of frozen teeth pushed her away from the answers she sought.

Amadahy padded alongside her companion still confused but a better understanding seeing the other siblings of Celendria banding together. Her nose picked the scent of a hawk drifting off, a bird, and something far off heading toward them. Winter generally snuffed out such scents even when her tiny nose tried working overtime to figure things out. Her instinct told her the bird was somewhere with the stallion curled in a ball most likely trying to keep from freezing her feathers off. The other scent drifting off further was intriguing as well because it was actually two scents that were in progress to join the family. Looking upward she noted her Soquili companion was deep in meditative thought for the time being.

Celenduin breathed outward his breath swirling in the cold air wondering why Isabeau decided to take this trek to the foot of the mountains. Curled upon his neck she had literally wrapped as many strands of hair as she could muster around her shivering little form. Looking around him the stallion noted how Celendria had a small wolf at her side. Small in stature this canine stayed in sync with her companion. A harmonious duo who fully understood each other no matter what species barrier there was made him almost envious. Isabeau he connected to on a certain level but it was more her making initial contact in the first place. Simplicity created from a greeting and curiosity led her to tag along for many adventures.

His gaze then turned on Frosta whose voice was innocent with curiosity. Directly beneath his wings she stayed close to him. Forever her eldest and larger sibling in the family. Appearance developed in his father's image Celenduin carried a much different demeanor. Even in his handsome features would he ever betray his future mate should he ever take one even in the disguise of temptation. While he slowly forgave Frost for getting their mother killed he donned upon the words from Dheneb allowing himself to forgive and find solace within himself.

Finally he spoke slipping out of his thoughts, "I never took a mate Frosta. Most of my life I was alone till I met my companion Isabeau. She who is currently so tied up in my mane I wonder if she'll be able to breathe properly. He chucked momentarily, "She doesn't approve of the cold yet here she is with me".

A swirling vortex of possibilities danced around him wondering what his nieces and nephews look like. Within those 10 years he truly had missed a lot but deep inside he knew they had been safe, "Indeed. I can't wait to meet the family" he nodded his head in approval.

Amadahy paused her ears flicking toward someone incoming closer. Her scent picked up a goat and a mare which she sensed were probably who the family was looking for. Pausing in her walk she leaned her head back releasing an eerie yet long sounding howl. Even in the snow that was picking up the wolf's voice could carry over miles. This particular howl was regarded to carry off to two distinct places. The first headed homebound letting her daughter know so Tiranna could be alerted. The second wave she released to the blustery winds swirling around her was a greeting to the incoming mare and her familiar. A simple "We're over here" was all that was needed. Amadahy was indeed a special wolf friended by others and of course Celendria.

Slowing to a halt the elder noted Amadahy's strange gesture howling out into the crystallized air. She breathed in the air curiously understanding the set of howls the little wolf released to the air. It seemed a search of possible disappointment combined with reality taking shape. She paused in her own walk standing there with her beloved canine familiar knowing her siblings would cease their movements as well. Breathing in once more she spoke only one word, "Avalon".

Cresting the hill to glance down at the gathering bodies of varying blue. Her head tilted to one side as she observed them. Two were of the brightest blue, one being graced with wings and a horn kind of like her own. The other larger in comparison, a mare of course. Perhaps even at the rank of elder, she had heard of such ranks, but never witnessed one in her travels. Never staying in one place for very long. The other, one, she was a darker blue, darker then Avalon herself and she was dark along her back that faded into a variant of lighter blues and white swirls. The three had apparently stopped, or at least two had anyways that she could see. The darker of them turned and started in her direction.

It wasn't the approach of the mare that made Avalon step back, but the off set of other noises that came from the group. The howl of a wolf and the sudden addition of a hawk? Looking down at the half frozen goat, Avalon looked back towards the mare and further back the other two.

'Is that you, Avalon?'

This had come from the mare that approached slowly, drawing the distance between them smaller and smaller. Avalon remained where she had stopped, even if it was a step back from previous, she eyed the three before looking back towards the mare.

"Is been a long time. Frosta. You haven't changed." Avalon said with a smile, her braided tail flicking behind her slightly. "Seems we are late to this party."

SnowDrop gave a groan before wedging herself between Avalon's front legs to stare at those before them. Soon looking back up towards her charge.

"Can we go yet? I'm FREEZING DOWN HERE!" she voiced quite loudly, hooves stomping the ground.

Avalon sighed as she stepped away from the goat, while she was mostly the kindest creature around, in the cold she wasn't one you could live with. Moving closer towards Frosta, she brushed against the darker mare, her tail flicking to trail along her back before heading towards the other two.

"Been far, far too long."
