[Aud writing again - so it'll be a bit different!]

As they both turn to look at me, I immediately feel like I've made a mistake. I should have never walked up to them - clearly they are having a moment. And what am I? Just another interruption. Typical Rhoa.

I should know their names - they certainly look as though they live here, but I don't. Just another failing on my part I suppose. I fold my embered wings against my flanks, shuffling my feathers anxiously. The darker one asks why I am not resting, and where my parents are. I feel like laughing, but I know if I do, it will be a hard and bitter sound. It will be just about as ugly as the feeling in my gut, and so I don't. But maybe it wouldn't matter afterall - if they don't know who I am, then they probably don't know who Father is.

What are they doing here then?

"I didn't feel like it."I mumble truthfully, looking back and forth between them. "And if you don't know who my parents are ... and why I am not with them, then you probably shouldn't be in these lands." I begin, trying to find courage deep within myself and force it into my voice.

I have a right to say that to them, don't I? I am a prince of this land, even if I am abandoned in it. "I am Rhoa. Son of Sohalia the Transcended and Gaucho the Wildfire." It feels odd to say their names - they feel like distant figures to me now, not my loving parents. But nevertheless, the majority of the herd does not know the depth that has come between us as a family. "...So knowing who my parents are should tell you where they are. Father is probably patrolling. And Mother is .." I stop. Not for the first time I have no idea where she is. Fear creeps into the back of my mind.

Will she leave me again?
