But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride...
Quilyan
...he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.

A week ago, the prince's thoughts would have been filled with Resplendence. She still lingers in his memories - the touch of her velvet muzzle; the smell of those long, wavy locks; the emotions that flooded his veins in her presence - and he knows that she will remain an integral part of his life. He is determined to care for her as he has done for no one else before, after all. Others would call it 'love,' but the concept is foreign to him, and so he does not label it. All he knows of affection is that of parent and child, and of that he knows only a minimal amount. What with running a kingdom, his own parents had little time for him when he was young. His youth had been spent in rebellion against the politics that accompanied his role as the heir to the throne. It is only now that he understands what he has lost. And it was Resplendence that made him understand. Before her, he was obsessive about the female gender rather than any individual, but now that he has her, he barely even notices other mares. Perhaps it would have depressed him in his past, the thought that he would be tied to one fae - in fact, that was the very rule which he rebelled so fervently against - but in his present, it is a fact that fills him with warmth and pride. Ah, how things change. And things have changed again, for the egg that he protected so well for the past month hatched only a week ago. Since then, he has been filled with thoughts of the tiny creature currently woven into his mane. He is filled with wonder at the bond that the pair of them share, an intricate thing that has grown even in the short time that they have shared. It is a bond of emotions right now, a link that allows him to understand her feelings, though he cannot understand her chittering speech. But it is enough. Resplendence still dances in the back of his mind, but he is currently exploring Helovia with a new set of eyes. The little pygmy marmoset has never seen such splendors as the ocean or the mountains, has ever experienced the thrill of flight. Well, he won't fly with her, not yet, anyway. She is so young, and so small, and so fragile. No, he will stay close to the ground for now. He feels so protective of the young creature in a different way than that which he feels of Resplendence. She is very quickly becoming an extension of himself, a part of him, and though it has been only a week, he knows that he would be devastated should he lose her. Later, he will understand the bond that exists, will understand that she is as much a part of him as he is her. He will know that they are inseparable, a pair for life. Later, the irony will not be lost on him, but for now he remains unaware. He strolls along the beach, listens to the waves crashing against the sand. A strong wind is gusting, ever-present where the land meets the sea. Hold on tight, he says silently to Zarina, and though she does not understand the words, the concept it understood. He feels her movements as she weaves his mane tighter around herself. She is resting in a small ball upon his withers, at the point where his mane ended. She has created a nest there, and he chuckles at the thought. If he turns his head, he can see the little ball of fur and mane, two wide, golden eyes peering out. His wings are folded neatly at his side, offering some protection to the little marmoset, and he feels her gratitude through the bond. Looking around once more, violet eyes scan his surroundings. He had met a band of pirates here, once. He had almost joined them. Where are they now? |
