She was hollow, her insides were completely gone; a giant spider had sucked out everything. She heard the screams, but it seemed to come from very far away. Her knight squealed his pain, and his bonded followed suite feeling Ciceron's pain just as well as Penna was. The falcon could feel the sick emptiness in his bonded and he hated it. The falcon screeched along with the rest of the others. As soon as the screams started the poor silver buckskin launched himself to his sharp hooves staring around his sides heaving. His dainty mother slowly made her way towards the scared colt. She reached out towards him pulling his slender body into her warm body. He relaxed only slightly, and she turned towards his father. Her voice was deadly calm void of all emotion, "Stop screaming Ciceron, you are scaring our son." She glanced at him for a second before turning back to her son and rubbing her muzzle softly along his back until he was soothed, enough anyway.

She sighed softly and spoke again, "Ilios, go tell your father bye. You, Penna, and I are going to find a new home." The colt stared silently up at his mother for a moment confused, then put the words go to Father together and followed her orders. He walked up to Ciceron stopping in front of his dappled father and gazing up at him, then nickered softly. While the to males said goodbye Parelia thought silently to Penna, 'Go ahead and fly up, make sure the area is clear, we're going to travel towards the edge to the west.' The bared falcon took flight glad to be away from feeling as well as seeing all the heartache.

The dainty mare pulled her wings closer to her sides, trying to comfort herself with them. She allowed the males to say goodbye standing quietly her head turned towards the west. Ilios was trying to rub against his father's massive chest. He wasn't sure what was going on, but he loved his father with every fiber of his tiny growing being. He nickered lightly reaching for the dappled stud's soft muzzle. Parelia stood silently, and as she waited she could slowly feel her emotions coming back, they had to leave, and soon. Her voice was dripping with emotion again, "Ilios, come on baby." He turned his warm silver eyes up to his father's same orbs before he scampered back to Parelia. "We're going to head west Ciceron." She paused tears filling her eyes again, "I will always love you, and you're always welcome to come find us..." She turned quickly before he could see her tears. She waited for a moment in case he had anything to say then started walking nudging her winded and horned son forward.
