i hate what i've become
the nightmare's just begun



Ktulu hadn't called the Deep Forest home for some time, but as she walked beneath the canopy she couldn't help but feel like she was finally home. The darkness and solitude was just as welcome as it always was and the memories that came flooding back were enough to make her heartsick. It was under those trees that she'd formed the Grey with her sister, it was where she'd bonded with Lakota, where she'd met Archibald, where she'd gotten Eytan and been granted magic from the ancient bear, and where she'd watched Hototo run and play in the early months of his life. Eytan, too, had the feeling of being home as he walked with his bonded. He never let on to her just how much he missed the forest, but as they stood there together she knew. 

For a long time Ktulu had suspected that she was not truly someone who belonged in a herd. She did not play well with others -- they often took offense to the things said and the actions she took. She felt that being in an outcast group was much more satisfying than being in a herd because in a group of outcasts everyone had to take responsibility for themselves. There was no warrior or champion to run and hide behind when things got tough. You did what you needed to do to survive and if you didn't then you died. 

The dark mare started forward again, moving down trails that she knew well.  There was so much she wanted to say, so much she wanted to vocalize and yet she remained quiet and allowed the feelings of nostalgia to wash over her. There was knowledge in the back of her mind that she could call the forest home again. She could leave the Falls to their own devices, let them pick out another Champion, someone who wasn't tired... but her loyalty was her downfall. She'd promised Archibald when they'd invaded that she would stay and she had. But for how much longer? 

The path twisted and turned as it wound through the forest and when it ended Ktulu found herself standing at the pool in the center of the forest. Eytan stood at the very edge of the pool with her, the pair of them staring down at their reflections. "Look at us, Eytan." She finally spoke, her voice hushed. "When did we get so old?" And what have we done with our lives?
