Crippled and Orphaned

THE world had ended when she'd lost her virginity. Literally, ended. One moment she and Ivezho had been together and then the next the sounds had been deafening, the far off fighting reaching their ears, and they'd had to separate. Eldala was thrust through the portal by a rough stallion before she'd even been able to open her mouth to protest. Though she'd not had the time to speak she had seen a green stallion screaming at his children before he'd died. That image would be forever burned in her mind. It was jarring, death, and she wasn't sure how to process it. She'd spent so much time in the past year or so pushing others away, or just feeling unattached, working. But now it was as if she'd been jolted back awake, back to reality, back to real life. The world whooshed all about her in a dizzying swirl until she lands, miraculously for her, standing up. It takes her a moment or so of swaying before she manages to focus on the world around her enough to see two young foals. Well, the pretty filly seemed to be not-quite-a-foal anymore. But the colt, oh, he was just a babe! A concerned look spreads across her face before she speaks. "Are you two alright? I saw.....I saw um, yeah. I'm sorry. Can I help somehow? My name is Eldala." She was so horrible at shit like this but at least she was trying right? A reassuring, compassionate, adult-like smile graces her visage, just as her father would have done, because that was all she had to go on at this point really.
