Kahlua If Alysanne was a natural mother, Kahlua was anything but. With her belly wide and her steps somewhat slower than normal she felt as entirely awkward as any one horse could be. She was slow, burdened, vulnerable. Not that she had many enemies, or reasons to be worried, but it was the very idea. She had felt drained and exhausted when she hadn’t been pregnant, running around the whole of Helovia, trying to keep her herd healthy and happy- trying to make sure that home would always be home. She couldn’t do anything now- except waddle.Then, there was that other ever-pressing issue of the moon goddess being banished here to the Edge. Truth be told, the queen hadn’t seen her yet, but that didn’t mean that time wouldn’t come. Someday, the Lady Moon was going to cross Kahlua’s path here in the Edge, and someday Kahlua was not going to know what to do and break down into tears and sob until she found some solution. Or, alternately, she would fall under the spell of the goddess’ whispers and forget that the Lady Moon had caused death. So much death. As for the foal… in some ways, the queen hoped it would stay inside of her forever. True, it would be uncomfortable, but at least that way she wouldn’t be saddled with responsibility that she dare not even think about. Raising it? Teaching it? What did she know about being a god’s child? What did she know about being a child at all? How long ago had she been young? Did she even remember? Of course, even if she did remember… it’s not like they would have been normal childhood memories. There was nothing normal about her childhood. At least she didn’t have to think about it- in the distance, she saw friends! Waddling as fast as she could make her body go, whinnying happily at seeing the two together, she threw out her nose and greeted them brilliantly. Touching, breathing, lipping at their manes where she could reach. It was easy to be happy, to forget for a little while, while she was in their presence. “I always miss you two too much.” @[Alysanne] |
