It was that time of year... There were several times of the year when Aislinn McGarrett took the time to sneak away from the Aurora for a few days. Four actually. Once at the beginning of each season. She'd spend two to four days out of the Aurora, claiming to be visiting friends. And sure, the friends part was true. Although that was a much more singular word, not plural. It was only one friend she wanted to visit. And it was in a place no one would approve of her visiting.
The land of the Exiled was not a place many would think one would like to travel to. Fact of the matter was, the Exiled were all kindred spirits once they were sent to that land. And although there was only one person she really wanted to see there, all of them welcomed her. She'd be putting the horse she'd purchased from Dakota to good use today. Getting the rest of her things ready, she sighed and packed them into her saddle bags. Her son, Kieran, came with her on every trip. Like he would this time. Although she sometimes wished he'd wait til he was a little older to go exploring the Exiled lands.
Walking over to her horse, she fitted the sadle on him and did the straps up before settling in on setting him up with his bridal. "Kieran, come on, we're going to be late!"
Coming, mommy! Dark brown hair and a pair of overalls came racing into the barn. A hyperactive rugrat. Kieran was a sweetheart, and the light of her life. She often wondered what she'd have done without him in her life for his four years. The little boy had had such an impatch on her life, even after his father had up and left.. Kyrin, the man they were going to see today, had been a sort of stand-in father through the years... Watching over both of them whenever they went to spend time with him..
Ky.. Ky had been an Aurora like her. A trouble maker, sure, but he'd been Aurora nonetheless. Until he was exiled. She was seven years older than him, but even as a child, she'd had the biggest crush on him. Of course, he'd probably never noticed. Heaven forbid he notice a silly little girl like her. Until later, when they became somewhat friends. He probably didnt even notice her now. Which was okay. She was kind of tired of men noticing her at this point.. Her ex - Kierans father... Dakota... And about a third of the men of the Aurora.
Once they were safely on the road, they made their way to the Exiled. It only took a few hours, thankfully. It wasnt a terribly long ride, and when they arrived to the spot they usually met Kyrin in, she frowned.
Mommy, where's Ky-Ky? Isnt he coming to get us? Kieran asked.
"Stay on the horse, little man." she said, dismounting and taking the reigns, looking around for Kyrin, worried that he wasnt coming. Where was he?
