Our chief want is someone who will inspire us
to be what we know we could be

Gone. Gone. Gone.

The word repeats itself over and over in his mind, matching pace with the throbbing pain in his skull. Was it from his magic? Was it from the seemingly endless flow of tears? He didn't know just how long he'd laid there beside her but her body was cold and the sun was quite a bit lower in the sky by the time they left. If he'd had a choice, he wouldn't have left - it would have been far easier to simply lay beside her and hope for death to come take him too. But he wasn't alone. He had their babies to think of and it hadn't escaped his notice that she hadn't gotten the chance to feed them. The mere thought of her missing out on being a mother yet again was enough to rip his heart to shreds all over again.

All they'd wanted was a family.

It seemed a simple request at the time. A request that they'd been denied not once, but twice. Merialeth wasn't very old when she suddenly disappeared without a trace and now December was gone. Gone. Bright blue eyes are rimmed with red, his whole face feels puffy and sore but still he gathers the twins beneath his great white wings and heads south to the only place he knows they'll be safe. The Edge. At least, it used to be a safe place. It has been more than two years since he left the Edge. More than two years since he'd stepped hoof on their soil but that's where he last knew Alysanne to be. She is the only one he has left. She is the only one he can turn to for help. Everyone else he'd met had been predominantly acquaintances - most of them friendly - but in his sorrow he doesn't feel comfortable going to just anyone, not even Tiamat whom is one of the sweetest horses he's ever met.

There was no question in his mind. No hesitation.

His heart leads him south from the Frostbreath Steppe, doing everything he can to keep the foals close to his side. The journey wasn't a short one - he didn't want to exhaust them but still there was an urgency in his steps. They need to eat - their very survival depends on it. He ushers them along, fighting against the anxiety threatening to overthrow his sanity. As the border of the Edge creeps into view, he visibly relaxes - exhaling a sigh so deep his whole body seems to visibly deflate a bit. They'd made it, and certainly no worse off than they'd already been. But it isn't entirely over yet. His anxiety, though lessened significantly, is not gone in its' entirety. There is still the issue of finding a mare willing and able to nurse Fenyx and Vynter - a feat he worried would be near impossible. He had to hope, though, didn't he? He had to hope that at least one thing would fall into place.

Slowing to a halt several feet outside the distinct gate on the southeastern corner of the Edge herd lands, he gestures for both of them to stop as well. "We must wait here." he murmurs, his deep voice rather coarse from the outpouring of his emotions not long ago. He reaches down to touch his muzzle gently to each of theirs before lifting it once more to gaze at the gated entrance. A few moments pass before he releases a rather hoarse yet loud whinny but he doesn't rely on that alone. Eliana has been resting not far away, attempting to hide away from the agony coursing into her through their bond. Ellie, check the Edge... please. We need to find Aly. Though the bird does not respond, a few moments later he spies her dark shape soaring over the glass spikes that now serve as the wall around the Edge. He trusts her but his anxiety seems to grow once again as he waits. Somehow he manages to stand still and strong for the twins; a miracle, if one ever existed.
