Crystal Children

there are no markings on her country roads no signs that show the way back home Ooooooootemmmmmmmm What would the Gods like to have sung about them? Otem was no song writer the way Maude was, but the exercise still interested her. What rhymed with Earth God? Turf sod? Nerf pod? Slurf rod? OTEM! "Did you-" The ram-horned filly turned her head, peering back the way that she had come. Far below, on one of the ledges she thought she could see a massive black figure. Uh oh she thought, her stomach sinking somewhat. Without wings it was much harder to get up to where she and Maude currently were, and the fact that her Father had come as far as he had was mildly concerning. Had something happened? "That's my dad. I should go. Maybe I'll see you around again? I want to hear how the song ends." With a smile, her tears completely forgotten, Otem lunged into the air gliding towards the Indomitable and whatever news he brought with him.
