Ember
till everything burns
till everything burns
Pelt of white flashed in and out of the shadows as the grey darted trees. Her banner and flag streamed behind her, entangling the wind. She danced through the forest to a large clearing. Prancing to the center, arab nape arched gently, she nickered softly. The femme dropped her lips to the grass and nibbled as memories of her past bombarded her.
Ginger fillies and black colts pranced about as the shy little newcomer approached. New to the dark, the grey filly tried to make friends with the others. But they ignored her. Save for one. A blue filly whose mother was of a different heritage. Hi. I'm Neptune. What's your name? she spoke to the grey. Startled, the grey glanced about her, looking to find one of the others standing near her, but there was none. I-i'm Winter's Burning Embers she replied...
Ember shook her adult cranium. Neptune is from the academy. She should be dead... the grey thought. Neptune had been her very first friend. Neptune was the first to approach her when she had first started training. When the war started, Neptune had been the first to fight and the first to die. When Ember had recieved the news, she almost died of heartache. Now, almost a year later, Ember had left, but not without vowing to herself she would name her first born after her first friend. But an issue had arisen when she had left. Her herd made her vow to keep Winter and Sun alive. Now, four and confused, she was forced to choose between loyalty to a friend and loyalty to her family... The snap of a twig snapped her out of her thoughts and on high alert...
