The afterlife was not foreign territory to Dovedeparture. To her, death was not the end but the beginning to another chapter. This segment of one's life was eternal, unchanging. And death did for make her fearful, for it was merely existence on another plane, and in a sense, it was where her former home resided. Granted, the actualities of it were far more complicated than this mortal form could articulate, but a part of her understood this knowledge and kept it close to her heart for comfort. Because though her spirit may be immortal, things were never certain on the ground.
A strange sensation flickered to life inside of her - similar to that of a forest catching fire: slowly burning before it engulfed her being. She tried to ignore the phantom forces at work, but there was no shaking it. Within the feeling, there was familiarity, but she could not rationalize why she felt these things... These were not emotions as she had felt since falling to the earth.
Tugged along by invisible strings, Dovedeparture emerged from the jungle to see Etherealgate. The creature that loomed before her was dark, almost a complete opposite of herself. Where Dove was ivory and porcelain, the gatekeeper was obsidian and shadows. The other's wings were as black as coal, but the guardian angel knew air passed through her feathers, not smoke. Dove looked deep into Ethereal's eyes, and felt envy. Those golden irises were as stunning as any halo she had ever seen.
Ever poised, Dovedeparture did not let her emotions show. She kept them hidden deep within her heart, but she could not deny the odd fire that burned within her. She had to know this being, and she had to know why she felt so connected to her.
"Greetings," she breathed at last. "Forgive me, I did not catch your name. I am Dovedeparture, though Dove works just as well." The wildcat's lips drew back in a kind smile. "This is the Typhoon, and we welcome you to our ranks."
