Vastra got her first lesson in life and death from Gaucho and on this day, when she watched the pillar of fire burst into the sky, she received another. Death could happen to them - the horses and pegasi of the Throat and not just the birds and little animals she discovered in her explorations. The small red filly was drawn forward like the others though she shies away from the crowd, lingering just outside with her dark brown eyes burning holes through the bodies that blocked her full view of the corpse.

She never got confirmation on whether this was her father or not. And now he was gone, gone where the bird had gone - to the great plains in the sky where they could not return from.

Her young brain is fuzzy, trying to wrap around the sadness she felt and the depth of the sadness of those around her - wondering if she should be as sad as some of the others. She hadn’t known that the Wildfire was their Sultan, didn’t know that it was the Sun God who came down to speak to them and name a successor. He had been a magician to her, someone who had dazzled her with his magic and his firebirds.

None of this actually felt real to her - she didn’t actually believe that there was no returning from the great plains. He would find his way back to them, to the herd.

Finally working up her courage, Vastra slunk through the crowd to stand near the body, near one of the great wings that were no longer on fire. “Vod chafaan” she whispered to him before scrambling forward - taking a mouthful of feathers with her (though she only sought to take one, she took several instead) - and then hurrying away from the crowd. Away from the vaguely familiar faces and all of the strangers and the body of someone that was the closest thing to a friend that the young girl had.

Said goodbye to you, my friend, as the fire spread.
all that's left are your bones that will soon sink like stones.


permission from Odd for Vastra to grab a bunch of feathers <3
