Gale Cloudline's Links
We all know those five years changed you, but I could always see that familiar spark in your eyes of the man I fell in love with. I meant it when I said I would stay with you, through the good times and the bad, and I'll love you the same regardless if you're at your best or your worst.
Things were so much more simple back then... but even when things got more complicated and everything inside me felt withered, I still had you to help me feel like I was still alive. Now, I feel nothing... there's nothing there anymore.
I admit, I never saw myself ever having a second child when I thought that Dusk was lost forever. And am I ever grateful to have both of them in my life. My sweet little Hurricane is the only one of us who hasn't had to suffer living in the Expanse, and I hope he never has to feel that loneliness in his life.
I still have dreams where I can hear mom singing sometimes... I was pretty young when she returned to the sky, but I remember that voice so well. I hope it'll be a long time before then, but I know I'll see her again when it's my time to return as well...
The first few years we were together, we fended for ourselves on the Expanse. I know it was difficult to understand why your father acted the way he did when he returned, but he's still the same man I've always told you about underneath all those scars from his time out there alone...
Things were so much better when you were around, but it seems like you were the only one who could tame that beast that dad is.
Arrow is the most reliable friend anyone could hope to have. I'm just shocked that Dusk was so oblivious to the sexual tension between them. But of course, I am the ultimate cockblock, aren't I?
Don't get me wrong, I considered Gale to be one of my closest friends, and it was a tragedy to lose her so soon. But man, Dusk never knew how much of a cockblock she was. She played to win.
Kami and I have been besties for as long as I can remember. She was never as serious as I was about warrior training, and she was much gentler at heart. But I remember back when we used to gossip about our peers and quietly giggle about our crushes... I'm happy she and Kazee got that happily ever after she always dreamed about.
I think I would've been too timid as a child to have gone through with the warrior training if Gale hadn't always been there to encourage me. She was the best friend I ever had, and it pains me to carry on without her. I can only keep doing my best, and do whatever I can to help Dusk and Hurricane move forward.
Oh, how many years was it of whispering and giggling with Kami about her massive crush on him...? Kazee was always so silly, but so charming with all that energy. He always keeps spirits high, even when our family was so shaky and on the mend.
I remember the competitions Dusk and Gale would get into being the running joke among our group way back when... She was the rival, the crush in our conversations as young apprentices... but she ended up being such a good friend. We have to do what we can to keep Dusk and Hurricane going, for her sake.
Katryna has got all the spirit of her father, and I'm glad she gets along so well with Hurricane.
We were pretty young when Miss Gale returned to the sky, but I always remembered her being nice. She felt a little more intense than mom, kinda like Hurricane's dad, but she always felt pleasant to be around.
Andrue has got all the sensitivity of his mother, and I'm glad he gets along so well with Hurricane.
Even though Hurricane doesn't talk about it much, I know he misses his mom a lot. I would too, if that happened to mom... I can't remember her that well, but she and mom got along really well, and she was always really nice.
