"how do you decide when it's enough?" from silvhen

meaningful sentence starters // ACCEPTING

Valathaan held his hands behind his back and looked upon Silvhen, one so prone to folding in on himself like a statue, like a mistake to be tucked away, his eyes more comfortable on the pages of a worn book than another person, watchful. The elder had lent him the tome that sat in front of him right now. The mabari slumbered by his feet.

How do you decide when its enough?

Silvhen, always in his sister’s shadow, never thinking he’s what anyone expected–

“Live not for others, Silvhen,” Valathaan said. A heat came up beside him; a hand. The elder was leaning forward, his fingers edging the corner of a page. “As the sun, bright and with fury does she burn; indeed, the moon would appear so small a thing. But as night falls and all the world lost to shadow, what is to light our darkness?” He looked to the young warden, the moon. A ghost of a smile was on his lips. “Never will you be your sister. Yet that which burns in dark burns most brilliant.”
