"... I am aware of his passing."

Crowley's words barely registered as Kou, against her will, relived the days before her her father was murdered and that dreadful night. It had been all her fault. All her fault. She'd discovered her magic by accident one day while she was off playing alone and had told her parents, who in turn told her never to use it. But what did they know? Neither of them had magic that they could be proud of. Neither of them had magic that they could practice. She did! How was she to know that when she was practicing one day one of them would be watching her? It had only been a matter of hours after that that they found her and attacked. It still angered her that others would stand aside and watch as the witch hunters attacked families and destroyed them.

No one lifted a hoof to help.

Thankfully she had missed the brutality of her father's beating that resulted in his death thanks in part to her mother. The golden mare had whisked her away only to be separated from her by more of the witch hunters, but Kou had escaped. It had been several hours before she began to venture back toward the herd, but she saw him then. Her father's pale body engulfed in flames while the witch hunters stood in a semi-circle around him chanting. She had run then and had never looked back.

"He was a great fellow, as was your mother. I enjoyed their friendship."

"Then why didn't you help?" Kou asked, her anger fading into sadness. She blinked her eyes furiously to fight the tears that had welled and threatened to spill down her pale face. She shook her head at his next question. She was too young to remember who her father called 'friend' and who he called 'enemy'. Most of her childhood had been overshadowed by her father's murder and her escape from Etaine. She had spent most of her life running and when she finally stopped what happened? Her past caught up with her. "What is it you want?"
