Prompt # 2 - Family
To me family used to mean the people related to you. Usually this involved a house, maybe some land, a mother, or some siblings. Sometimes you all got along, sometimes you didn't.
My own father ran off when I was seven years old. He isn't high on my list of people, even though my mother tried to never speak ill of him. I have three brothers, though only two of them lived through infancy. Truthfully all of us who survived past childhood were lucky. Both of my brothers died fighting. I think that my mother worries that I will too.
Then there is my mother. She wrote me off years ago when I... went bad. She couldn't bare the thought that her flesh and blood could do those awful things. After years of being a warlord, I did finally come back. As expected she wasn't pleased but we managed to forge a relationship.
My family now is Gabrielle. We've been traveling for six years. (Though you could say it's been much longer than that on account of what Ares did a year ago.) I haven't ever been as close to anyone else. I am incomplete without her. That is when I realized that I was finally home.
Comments welcomed.
