Lucky Coin
It had always been a game.
Heads or Tails? She’d say. And they, they would always pick Tails.
Go with your heart! She’d say. And she’d follow it, and they’d find their way.
Stay sharp, but smile. She’d say. And the smile would never leave her lips.
They were her family.
Realm Walkers were always expected to bond with their team. Expected to fight to the death for their members. But the feelings she felt for hers, well, those went above and beyond expectation. Most of her stars glittered in memory of the joy, the tears, the desperation, the laughs…
She’d loved them.
Elnath, the shield, who’s banter kept her flame so bright.
Adhara, the spear, who’s sharp wit kept her on her hooves.
Altair, the commander, who suffered the same fate as she yet lived with such purpose.
They had certainly become her core, taught her to stand strong. It had not been enough. Never quite...enough.
“Heads or tails?” She’d always ask.
The coin, her only gift, resting against her fingers. They were only ever allowed just the one.
A smile on her lips, a spring in her step – a memory at heart, an ache for what once was.
“Don’t worry.” She’d laugh, flipping with skill. “My bets are always right!”
But nothing is ever that certain.
