This new world is strange and unpredictable, but the World's Edge stands strong.

When the sun had not risen that first day, every fiber of my body alerted me that something was not right, that something was oh so terribly wrong. This was no dream, nor was it me waking in the middle of the night and being horribly off on the time of day. No, the land had fallen into complete and utter darkness, but I didn't understand why. Laila and Luken's safety was at the forefront of my mind, and after assuring that they were alright, my sights were turned on the rest I had vowed to oversee and protect.

The only light that guided me through the cliffsided land was provided by none other than the many trees growing throughout the land, which glowed in a medley of colors and provided enough light by which I could travel. The mists still resided, seeming to mimic the stars that once overtook the midnight sky by providing ample light themselves. Although this perpetual darkness was unsettling beyond all belief(it would be even more so when I learned the Gods were gone), I couldn't help but appreciate the certain beauty that it had brought with it.

Suli seemed unsure of herself now, remaining flightless and instead perching at my withers like she had done so often during her first season of life. We could not speak through our bond, but I could feel waves of worry and the occasional panic whenever she would hear something in the distance. Still new to the ways of a bond, I did my best to calm her every time, always relieved whenever it seemed to work and she would grow content again.

As we continued our way through the center of the dimly lit Edge, the Ken rune tangled into my mane beating rhythmically against my shoulders, I kept both ears and eyes at attention, idly wondering what the rest of the Qian thought of this new turn of events. For days I had been trying to understand it myself, but who was there to ask? Like myself, surely the majority of Helovians had simply woken up to this and that was all that they knew; that something was wrong. "Do you think Mirage would know?" I found myself asking, the question directed towards Suli, but it fell on deaf ears. After all, she was too young and our bond was not yet strong enough for verbal communication. With a gentle sigh, I pondered it quietly as I walked on, ever cautious of where I stepped.

But I wouldn't find any answers if I allowed myself to walk on in silence, ignorant to the locations of my beloved herdmates.

Raising my head, I bellowed a low call, beckoning any who were in my immediate vicinity to come if they so wished. I didn't want to be alone, and I wanted to learn just what had happened to our home. And, should any need comforted in this trying time, I would do my best to reassure them. The World's Edge, the Qian would stand strong and would see another dawn.

"Talk."
