The
gentle morning breeze caught the gossamer threads casting Grayson and Griffin
in flight soaring above Bluegate and beyond…Lila watched the spiderlings drift
along the currents of air that had taken them from the cattail by the side of
the pond. Grayson and Griffin were together at first, but as they rose into the
space above the water Lila saw how the air currents began to draw them apart. A
spiderling’s journey was one that may begin in tandem but would very quickly transfer
course with the slightest change in the air current. In that moment, Lila
shifted her attention, for these times of thanatosis were also when she could
retreat into quiet reflection. As an observer of the lives of the beings around
the pond she was fascinated by the unknown expeditions that would whisk beings
away to unknown destinations and fates… Such was the case with Grayson, as Lila
watched him soar higher into the sky, until he had completely disappeared from
her view. Griffin had landed close by and was taking calculated steps to
discover his new surroundings. But now, Grayson was simply a memory, one that
Lila could revisit in her times of reflection about that first moment of Grayson’s
maiden flight when his gossamer silk carried him away from Bluegate.
