Don't! Your (unbeknownst) sister's shrill command is enough to make you falter. A tremor races through your body as you jerk your head toward her, ears pinned. You have half a mind to stick your tongue at her and do it anyway, more determined now that another has forbade you to do it, but you don't have the chance. Like a scolded child, you twist your lips into a pout and furrow your brow in quiet condescension. She bullies her shoulder toward you and you crane your neck into a battering ram, rearing up as you try to butt your head into the muscle. Why is she defending him?! If he let his pet eat people and forced them all into this strange, dark, wet place, why shouldn't you sabotage whatever it is he's trying to do? You growls in frustration, feeling small and powerless. You glance back to the skeletal lamp-thing and find a sprite guarding it. Once again tears burn behind your eyes. "How do you know he won't just eat us anyway!" You shout in protest, flaring your wings in desperate emphasis. You don't fully understand the concept of death, yet, but you understand the whole eating thing. All you can think about is that you want mother, and the desperation builds inside of you with a vengeance. You are angry at the mare for yelling at you! She must not know what it's like to lose your mom... A lump forms in your throat and you try to swallow it down, grimacing. The tears come anyway, hot and angry. Deep inside of you your magic stirs, dormant until now. It reaches out toward the winged filly, hungry. Mismatched eyes bore holes into her, burning with misplaced hatred. You feel hot, as the magic reaches out to leach the moisture from her skin, your teeth grinding together. You are completely oblivious to the power you wield but it awakens anyway... and calm your heart, the dark is still the dark |
