Zünden

The filly stands tall awaiting the party she is sure to come. How often did two come to the basin's gates and call for others? Shivering softly against her brother's warm body she waits silently. They do not have to wait long before a golden trimmed mare approaches head held high. 'She must be a leader to walk like that.' Her thoughts are fast as she surveys the scene unfolding before her. Adelric's friend, the one with the weird naked tail, prances to them and speaks over the mare. Ears twitch back for a moment as she watches her brother light up. "Adelric, be polite." She whispers softly before bowing to Lady Illynx her muzzle mere inches from the ground before rising once more. She allows her bay brother to speak for a moment embracing his touch lending her strength to him and taking his steady frame. She struggles to suppress the bloody images in her head as Adelric bluntly says their monstrous father is dead. Her eyes squeezed shut shoving the pain away for a later time. The filly knew she would have to embrace the searing pain at some point, but now was not the place.

Her voice is strong as it rings out, "It is a great honor to meet you Miss Illynx. I am Zünden , and this is my brother Adelric, as Erebos stated for us." She forces a smile towards the black colt. Lowering her horned head slightly so as not to challenge the Lady and Kyst. "We are here to ask for your acceptance into this mighty herd." She watches the Lady closely searching for any sign they were not welcome. The storm filly was surprised by her brother's blunt and excited behavior. Looking at him side long her ears flick back trying to reprimand him for his disrespect for the Lady. She understood that he was excited to see his friend, but now was not the time to lose his cool.

As Adel inquired about the massive golden metal beasts she groaned inwardly. 'Oh gods he is going to get us kicked out before we even get accepted!' For being so smart her brother could really be stupid. 'Shut up you fool, we need to show respect and not ask to much right now.' Sighing softly she pressed against his flank for a second before shifting ever so slightly from his needed touch. He had to be brave right now, had to show he deserved to be accepted into this band of powerful unicorns. She shivered slightly as a terrible thought overwhelmed her. What if they were turned away, banned from the last family they had? If her brothers and sisters in horns did not want her, she would be lost. Once more she smothered the thought and turned to the Lady hoping she would pass her judgement quickly and painlessly.
