The others spoke in turn, and Najya remained quiet - observing the others and their reactions. It was then that the little creature sprung to life again, speaking to each of them in turn. Then it was her turn. A little “Oh,” escaped her lips as surprise flickered across the flaxen mare’s face. Hazel eyes widened in what she could only describe as shock. The words of the others turned to little more than a faint hum as the little creature spoke directly to her. It had chosen her. Her heart races in her chest as the significance of the creature’s words sinks in.

This was most certainly not what she had been expecting. She knew of companions, of course. She was quite fond of Mesec’s Lucius. Perhaps there was a little bird of her own inside this egg? But regardless of what was inside, she knew what having a companion meant. She would never be alone again. That was what warmed her heart, what caused the joy to bubble over. Because Najya had been lonely since the moment she had set foot in Helovia, even when surrounded by so many strangers.

“Oh, thank you,” she managed, louder this time, her eyes flicking from the creature to the egg and back again.

And then the little creature and all of his tricks was gone – taking his tent and adornments with him. But the egg remained, nestled safely at her hooves. She couldn’t help but smile down at the little thing, admiring the flawless shell. It seemed so fitting that this place, tainted with memories soaked in blood, would now be home to happy ones. Life and death. There is always a balance. It was true in the stories she so loved, maybe now she could finally but her faith in those words.

This was the beginning of a new adventure.
