A few more came to join us, but as the numbers stacked, a few fell back. The egg teetered along as we all swam and waded, working together to get the egg to the safety of the shore. My legs kick out in strong swipes, my tail remaining in the same spot I had placed it, my fur growing heavy as it soaked in more water. I looked at the filly who nudged it along, and then at the one who added more flowers to the mix, creating a pillow for the egg. I listen as the champagne girl introduces herself, explaining as to why she was here, why she was struggling to push this egg along. I cleared my throat, opening my lips as I swam along. "Well, I am Tingal, and the reason I'm here... is because I've been alone my entire life, all those I hold close drift far from me, or... they're..." I stop, remembering that there are children here. I do not speak the word murdered, but I move my lips to speak it mutely. "But I hope, I believe that one that holds the other half of my soul will not fall away from me, that will not leave me in the midst of night. These are not my only reasons. I have someone who I've kept close for such a long time, two years and counting... and she has a special place in my heart. To see her injured, well... I want something that will help me defend her, that will watch over her when I cannot. For if I ever lost her, I would lose myself." After my emotional little explanation, I snort, my lungs grasping for air, hating me for putting myself in such a strenuous situation.
I glance at the black stallion next to me, the boy with the horn and the wings. I had seen him before, when Ru and I had said good bye to those in the Foothills. I twitch my nose, his scent still telling me that he belong to the grassy herd. I continue swimming, realizing slowly but surely we were heading closer to shore. I felt my muscles tense, knowing trouble could ensue. In the back of my mind, I would take a desperate swipe at the egg, at least, if I am not the one to gain it. I knew it was something wrong, but I felt as though I would be letting Ru down if I lost this, if I let this egg go home to another. I could not let her down. Never. "Talk talk talk" |
