Holdback Release
They say there are creatures born of instinct…
…and others born of something quieter.
Something patient.
Lotus was not the first to emerge.
She did not rush the world, nor chase it.
She waited.
While her siblings tested their legs against the edges of their world,
she remained still…
as if listening to something only she could hear.
Time moved around her.
Light shifted.
And slowly… she began.
Not with urgency.
Not with noise.
But with purpose.
Each step placed with care.
Each movement deliberate, as though she had already seen where it would lead.
And when she finally revealed herself—
when the light caught those hidden colors beneath her fangs—
it was not sudden.
It was earned.
Like something that had been forming long before anyone noticed.
Some are raised.
Some are chosen.
And some…
become exactly what they were always meant to be,
in their own time.
Lotus is not a moment.
She is a becoming.
