Tae, technically, was not as alone as Zero. At her side, at almost all times, were two steadily growing black hounds. The hellhound and the timber wolf were like silent sentinels who followed her even more closely than her own shadow seemed to. But their minds were sharp and cunning and almost never playful. She didn't fault them for that, and nor did she necessarily encourage playfulness. As their pack leader, she could show no weakness, could never let them have the advantage. That included in jest.
Tae had never really minded it much. At least ... until Grusha left.
It made no sense to Tae, no matter how many times she thought about it. If Grusha was sent away on some secret mission, she would have told Tae. If she was being punished well.. for what? Grusha never did anything that Tae hadn't, and so if one twin was being outcast as a penalty, surely she would be too. That, and there was no way either Mother or Father would do that to them. Family meant to much...
-and
and
- Mother was gone too.
Had they gone together?
Well. That was what the mandible-marked filly was going to find out. And if anyone would know, it would be Zero. He seemed to have Ampere on retainer at all times. There was no way she could go somewhere without him knowing about it.
And thus her search for her big brother began.
"Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrroooooooooo" She called, her tiny voice bouncing off the cascading reddish walls of the rock formations around her. Both Mal and Hel bore this patiently, but their canine voices did not raise to accompany hers. What did he normally do during the day? Tae had no idea - she spent all of her days (most of them anyways) with Grusha, getting into trouble, napping, or eating. She had no idea where to even begin to look for her lightning marked sibling, but the Throat wasn't that big, was it?
Yes. Yes it was.
Well, she would just keep going until she found him.
"Oh Zerrrrrooo-"
