She had been coming from the borders. Out all night watching for potential invaders that never came. The night in which the invasion hit shook her heart, just thinking about it. Now, in the shadow of that event, the Illuminant simply would not feel safe within the confines of her desert home. Not now, not ever.

Her hooves dragged tiredly in the night, not wishing to think of anything other than this god forsaken night going on for much too long. If only the sun would rise, set the sky on fire like it always had. If only he would return and show some sign of this being okay. Never had the mare felt so desperately alone than the night of the invasion. Attacked by the Basin, fighting to hold the territory for a god who left without warning. All of the shaman's thoughts of peace, of forgiveness twisted about in her brain until she could scream for hours. Instead, she was just a silent, sleepless zombie watching the borders night after night.

Between her wings, sleeping easily, rests a small bird. At least one of the pair was resting easily, though while the finch was awake, most of his thoughts were directed worriedly at her own well being. Truth be told, Onni was coping better than she had been. Still, the painted girl believed the demons of her soul would not be forgiven. The only sign that they were would be the rising of the sun, and, at this point, what are the chances of that happening ever again?

The shaman had considered leaving, jumping ship. However, leaving Helovia would not relieve the scars on her heart. Ultimately, she could never afford the cost it would be to leave this home. Voltaic is buried here. Her mother is here. The Sun is here. She found Lyhty here. Everything she had left to care for in this world resided here. She would be dead before she left Helovia, and, sadly, the mare accepted this fate.

Someone else was on their way leaving as she was returning, her eyes catching on the glint of a horn in the night. Questioningly, the painted girl begins to walk in the direction of the child, who seemed more out of it than she. With a wary voice, Onni reaches out before getting too close. "Hello."
