Biography

A M U N D I
pron. ah - MOON - dee
Collector of the Abandoned

To all my children, gone without a waste of sun,
Outward bound you soon broke 'way. . .
Be it a light or a darkness that overtakes you,
Enchanted and spurned through the deities' boughs,
Carry your thoughts on my love that knows no bounds.

On learned wings you all will fly both pure and tainted,
Nigh on to your lives' most precious legacies
Til the morning comes when we may meet again.
Intuition, I pray, may guide your souls to mine in this
New dawn promised by your sweet sympathies entwined.

Under his spokes unspinning and an endless dark, I pray I might
Endure this new moon until my poison is lent to the sharks. . .

Darling seeds, know your mother loves you dearly
even after she passes into that morning light.

All my life, I've known I've lived in the shadow of someone else. Her name may change, but what she is does not. She is powerful, vibrant, and makes her intentions known, whereas my darker form melds into her background -- camouflaged and unseen. But I know what lies in the darkness, I know how it feels to be overlooked every day.

I know how it feels to have eyes pass over you and still not see you.

My husband's own eyes have tracked to her form ever since the two of them arrived, I'm sure. I padded along after him when she did not, and because of this I believed I had secured his heart. Little did I know, though, he would be tracking after her for many more years to come. I suspected as much, but it would never seem real. I couldn't accept it -- I didn't want to accept it.

Our beloved hatchlings' eyes, wide, curious, and accepting, stared into mine all those days and nights where he would be working -- with her, nonetheless. I tried to rationalize our relationship, believing that he just needed the separation of work and family. But on nights when he did come back to our little corner of the world, he was distant and cold.

I remember -- and I could never forget -- one awful night. There wasn't anything vicious, no; no violence or harsh words or anything of the sort were exchanged, but for some reason it changed me. At the time, I looked on with a numbed vision of the scene. But, if I was able to live through that evening again, I would change everything. My family deserves better.

In the days and nights that went by before his late arrival, I dreamt of that moment when he would walk into our comfortable, cozy, fire-lit chamber and nuzzle me into a calmness. In this dream, he would lay beside me and caress me with a wing, murmuring his appreciation and love. His smile would widen and his eyes would brighten at the sight of his own children, running and bouncing at us, and he would happily cradle them against his chest. It's alright now, he would say. I'm home. A few times, I'd woken up with tears on my cheeks.

But dreams, however sweet and hopeful, are not reality.

Papa! Papa you're home!

I had never heard such pure excitement in all my days. Our wiggling, scrambling hatchlings threw themselves at his body, so desperate for the love of their father. I remember feeling so very tired, but smiling then because I knew I had Ingothol to relieve me. If I was a strong mother, he could have been ten times a stronger father.

It's past your bedtime, he had quickly dismissed, walking directly past them.

My heart sank into the cool rock floor, watching our children slow and stop with saddening faces.

Kids, daddy's had a long week, I tried to reassure them. I felt deep in my bones there was no excuse for a child not receiving the love they needed from a parent, but what could I have done? Could I have risked starting an argument and ruining their perception of him in the scarce opportunities that they did get to see him?

But we haven't gotten to play anything, they whined, heartbroken.

I know, dears, I know, I comforted them, being intimately familiar with that exact disappointment. Let him sleep, we'll see if we can win him over in the morning, yeah?

I put them all to bed, making sure to give extra love into their goodnight kisses -- it was the only thing I could do. I remember standing for a long time debating on whether or not to check in with my husband. If he was this cold to the kids, would he be even colder to me?

My weak heart caved and I padded to our quilted nest.

Is there anything I can do for you, dear?

His chest heaved with a sigh, and I could only imagine an annoyed look on his face. The thought alone struck me with such fear. Would he have harmed me, or worse, the children?

No, Amundi. Please, just leave.

I felt winded and my vision grew blurry. Quite plainly, I wasn't needed, so I did as he asked. Just steps outside of our comfortable, cozy corner, I remember when I finally shattered.

I could be nothing more than a shadow.
