Cora's soft voice floated on the air like a sweet lullaby sang by a mare to her darling newborn. Suddenly I felt a weight threaten to crush my chest. She had followed me. I certainly hadn't expected her to do such a thing. I was being an ignorant fool yet here she was standing beside me. Her well-being fell on my shoulders. The beautiful mare's safety was my responsibility. If she got hurt because of me. If such a lovely princess suffered because of me.. "Cora.." A nervous step forward brought my body closer to hers. "I-"

"EVANESKA!" That voice. Could it be? No, surely it wasn't. It couldn't be a possibility. He was surely dead - left to crumble with the rest of Urd. My mind was playing ill tricks on me. I had been a hindrance to him during the rebellion and it was due to my pure useless nature that the mighty beast fell.

Flickering embers, red scales. I felt my knees go weak. Was this really him..? Was he real? "Th-Thantos..?" I was trapped in a vortex of emotions: pain, guilt, excitement, hope, joy. The wicked tornado in my mind wouldn't stop long enough for me to process all of these feelings that ran through my veins. Instead I limply fell to the ground by its brutal force. "Thantos.." My voice came out strangled, choked by a lump that was forming in my throat.

His words were urgent but my brain felt like a slug and far too slow to comprehend any of it. "Danger?" All I could do was repeat his desperate pleas like a parrot. "Please, Thantos, protect Cora. It's all my fault she's her. If she gets hurt.." I glanced briefly at her but my gaze couldn't stay glued to her for long.

There were so many things I wanted to say and wanted to ask. Each time I opened my mouth, however, nothing came out.

Pure shock struck my body, sending numerous shivers along my spine, as the mighty god spoke to me. He.. he had addressed someone like me? His words rang clearly and I found myself an even more debt. I bowed my head lower, wishing there was a way to express my gratitude, "Then I owe you my life, my savior."

Home. I kept musing over the simple word. Could I trust it?

My pondering was cut short as a familiar stallion - one whose body mimicked the ocean - caught my eyes. "Euphrates!" He was okay.. The broken stallion whom had begged me to kill him was standing there in the dazzling light of the flats.

"Everyone.." Eyes burned and threatened to spill liquid on my already dirty form. My body quivered as forces collided against my hide. It was in this moment, this moment where it began to become hard to breathe, that I saw her. An angel.. With wings like that of my old herd. Like staring in a mirror, at a glorious version of myself. Although it was a bit much to compare myself to her. She was everything I wasn't. If she was an angel, then I was surely a demon. Her eyes drilled into me and my anxiety peaked.

Before I realized what I was doing I was already near running away, "I'm sorry.. I'm sorry.. Thantos.. Please, please look after Cora and Euphrates. I have to - I need some space." This reunion was abruptly cut short by my need to get away from the thick crowd.
