Once upon a time, there was a little lightning princess born to a beautiful woman and a gallant knight. The girl was not perfect, but neither were her parents - but what they lacked in perfection, they made up for in love. They lived in a beautiful kingdom, where the princess's parents raised her to be warm and kind to everyone she met, and they all lived happily ever after.
In case you didn't realize, that was most certainly not how the story went.
Reality, as is often the case, was so much more complex than any fairy tale or bedtime story. The beautiful woman did not love the gallant knight; in fact, the woman was not so beautiful as she might had been in her youth, and the knight was perhaps not so gallant as his daughter believed him to be. Their daughter was not as much a princess as she was a lost girl, stuck forever in a burning Neverland from which she could not escape. Try as she might, it seemed that she was destined to a life of solitude. Her mother did not want her, and she didn't want to forever bother her father, and so she had ended up
alone.
The girl was returning home from a trip to the Dragon's Throat, where she had finally - finally - found her mother. And then her mother had (thanks to Gaucho's request) introduced her to her half-siblings. There had been so many of them, overwhelming the girl (particularly as they were all a bit more physical than she was comfortable with), who quickly excused herself to return home. Her mother had promised to visit soon, but she was suddenly a foreign mare, someone that Aleta no longer knew or related to. And so she had fled, angry because her mother had another family and hurt because it was one that she clearly preferred.
And what was so wrong with Kaj and Aleta? What had they ever done to deserve such treatment?
"Daddy?" the girl whispered as she crossed into the herdland, the sound of the falls drowning out her soft plea.
"Talk."
