As much as it pleased Tae to imagine her Father somehow besting the great dragon, Tae shook her small skull immediately no. Already the girl was quite superstitious, and hadn't her mother just said that he was always watching? Best not to incite a dragon whose body composed their lands. You never knew with dragons...
All you need to do is live and the world will teach you, so long as you've the mind to watch and listen and learn. Tae huffed quietly to herself and fell into the fold of Ampere's embrace. Tae did want to learn, only...only it seemed that not all were willing to teach. So many of the adults in her life merely barked orders at her, rather than teaching her things and letting her make up her own mind. Perhaps it was merely the role of children at her age to just do rather than to question, but if so, Tae was having a terribly rough go of it.
The ghostly-girl's eyes widened as a wall of water suddenly sprung her way, and she was left flailing in the Oasis without the support of Ampere's wing to hold her up, as it had been previously. Plummeting under the water, Tae sprung upwards shooting water from her lips as if the gentle wave had practically drowned her.
With a sheepish smile, Tae dutifully followed Ampere out of the water, shaking her tiny body to rid herself of the water which clung to her dark pelt.
"Ma-" Tae called after Ampere, trotting forward on the sands and grimacing slightly as they reddish grains stuck to her water-logged coat. "-did Grusha and I do something wrong? Our magic ... It isn't fire or lightning. Grusha moves bones, and I move spirits. It's all...dead stuff. And my face -" Helplessly the girl shrugged, wanting both to confide in her Mother whilte simultaneously appearing strong. "Is the Sun God mad at us?"
The girl had wondered for a while if the reason that she and Grusha appeared so different from Zero, or any of their half-siblings, wasn't because they were being punished. She couldn't think of what they might have done in their eggs to warrant being ostracized from their family magically-speaking, but as Ampere had just pointed out, there was much more to the world than Tae was aware of.
