|| Dear Winter || AJR ||
"Oh, we're leaving already?" Serenity was tugging on her arm. "Bye Dad, I'll see you later." Zeus waved as Serenity pulled Winter and Elise out the door. "Where are we going? Or is it all a surprise?" Serenity hushed Elise whenever she tried to spill. They ended up in Serenity's new ride, Winter wondering where it had come from. She sat on one of the seats next to the window, Nemia having insisted on staying behind for some reason. "This is nice," Winter admired as they flew. Elise commented on her skin, that it was sparkling. Winter blushed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. She wanted to cut it, but Nemia had insisted that Iris would have wanted it long for the wedding, so the length would stay. For now.
It took an hour and a half to reach the port. Neptune was waiting there, having expected them. "Do you two even know how to sail a boat?" Winter asked as he greeted them. "Ah, my little niece! How are things going?" He asked, ruffling her hair. Winter gave a polite smile, fixing the hair that Nemia had worked so hard to style for her. "Everything is going well, how is the ocean?" He gestured with an arm out around him, "It's going well, as you can see. Enjoy the day, you three." Serenity suddenly made an unholy noise, gawking at one of Neptune's assistants. Winter shook her head, it wasn't behavior befitting an Heir, but Serenity was still mostly human. She glanced at the tail growing out of Serenity's behind, it was fwapping through the air, the sound audible it was going so fast.
It was Elise that drew Siri out of her reverie and dragged her towards the boat. Winter was careful as she got on, taking off her shoes since they might get wet. She placed them in the dry well, not having expected to go on a boat. The sails unfurled, catching wind quickly. Off they went, the anchor lifted so that they could sail outwards. Elise sat beside her, wanting to know how she was feeling. "Nervous, mostly. I'm excited, don't get me wrong, sometimes I just wonder... if this was the life I was meant to live, you know?" She loved Zed, but if she had stayed on earth, she couldn't help but wonder what would have happened. Winter looked up at the sky, which was impossibly blue. It was a beautiful day out today, it almost always seemed to be a beautiful day out in Olympia. Except when Zeus was upset, then the skies turned a cloudy gray and it would downpour until something was resolved.
"I guess it's no use wondering, right?" Winter smiled, "I like it here. I've always felt like the Boundary was my home," she never would have returned to earth if it wasn't for Elise forcing her to the first time. It almost seemed like karma that they would all end up back here. Well, Serenity was joining them this time too. Carter as well. How were the boys doing? Winter couldn't help but wonder. She hoped that they weren't too much of a headache for Zed to handle. "How do you think Claude is doing?" Winter tried to ask instead, wondering if it was still a sore subject for Elise, who seemed to have a deep dislike for Jasmine.
