The Pinnacle
Savera follows in her brother's tailwind, for once content to fall behind. She glides easily despite her youth, and from her vantage point in the sky this phenomenon is more manageable, less hopelessly vast than it might be on the ground. Deeply curious, onslaughts of information nevertheless leave the morning star easily overwhelmed - she is grateful for her Virga's cautious nature, his strange protectiveness that allows her time to soak in the scenery without appearing a coward.
She is struck most by the giant beast. It looms over the growing gathering, a thing of earth and light. Is this a god? If so, the girl is underwhelmed. It is large, to be sure, but it lacks the terrible grace of her parents' deities, the beautiful majesty of her grandmother, the Moon. Compared to those stories this thing is a monster, lumbering, inelegant, but still powerful, still warm. The girl follows her brother's descent, skeptical but still brightly curious. Behind you, Devi brings up the rear.
Cloven toes grip the rocky earth. The ground is warm, so much so that she begins to grow uncomfortable under the weight of her appallingly shaggy winter coat. They land on the outskirts of the gathering, two observant stars surveying the mortals who trespass on the ground. The whole thing is interesting, if a little mystifying - what is the purpose of this gathering? Is it a social visit, a holiday party arranged by a lonely rock? Savera glances at Virga, and shrugs, before suddenly drifting away from her brother on legs of shimmering gold. She sports another reluctant party-goer, cream and blue, horned, stoic - as good a mark as any. She wonders if Virga will play.
Sliding in beside the larger adult, the morning star looks up with silver eyes. "What is this?" the girl asks, gesturing at the gathering, the giant monster thing, all of this. It's not that she implicitly trusts adults (far from it), but the girl has to get answers from somewhere.
At least, until she's able to find them herself.
we might be hollow, but we're brave
