» Together

 
The duo had all but given up on finding their family. They couldn't understand where they had gone and why they had been left behind. The pair had hidden themselves away until their grief was only a dull ache. Now they were searching for others to fill the void  their missing blood and created. At one time in her life the lighting girl would have sworn blood was the strongest tie in life. Now she knew how wrong she had been. Light brown eyes drifted down to gaze at Ajax silently thanking him for not leaving her as well. He made an odd sound in reply, somewhere between a coo and a growl. 'I would never leave you.' She smiled softly to herself.

Ajax paused mid step one foreleg held aloft as his head lifted. She stopped as well sniffing anxiously at the dry Scorch air. The scent of many others drifted towards them. Gulping hard she looked down at the griffin again, which caused him to snort.She could feel his aggravation at her fear of others. Impatiently he raced off towards the smells leaving her to trail in his wake. her anxiety grew as the came upon the group. Those already gathered seemed to be waking up. She swallowed again as Ajax called to her.

Taking a shaky breath she picked her way through the crowd. She didn't recognize anyone there so she stepped towards the creature at the front. A soft smile played over her alabaster lips before she bowed. Ajax gave his own halfhearted bow before righting himself to gaze up at the creature curiously. They listened intently eager to catch up on what had been happening while they had hidden from the other equines. She cocked her head at the odd tasks they all needed to complete. She watched as other spoke then headed off. She watched a colt close to her own age look at a very strange stallion before racing off. Slowly she followed after him, Ajax at her side.
