Her father had told her that her wings would make her free. Fly free. Afis seris. Though she didn't show it at the time the words had struck deep within her mind and had stuck with her. The idea of freedom was one that she had latched on to and because of that she'd started trying to teach herself to fly without the help of her parents. She wanted to show them that she could do it and she could. Somewhat. It was still something very new to the filly, but it wasn't nearly as bad as she'd thought it would be. It was, actually, quite fun and she found that she enjoyed the view she had of the land below.

For the first time Mordecai flew out of the Throat's boundaries and didn't stop. She kept flying, kept watching the land below until, in the distance, she could see a battle. Her heart called for battle and without thinking she flew to it. She gradually made her descent and surprised herself with a landing that was more fluid than anything she'd attempted in the throat. The second her hooves touched the ground she was running, her dark eyes darting around as she tried to locate anyone she knew, but most importantly her parents.

"Ave!" She cried out when she saw the dark stallion attacking the huge creature. Then there was her mother, who looked like she might be in pain. "Mai!" Who did that?! Like she really needed to ask, it was obvious that the reptile everyone was fighting had done it. She would kill it. No one hurt her mother.

Mordecai had every intention of hurling herself into the battle and battering her own hooves against the creature, but she stopped by her mother. "Wing." She hissed as she looked at it and she remembered how her own wing felt when her's had been hurt. It caused a hatred to burn hot and violent in her heart and she looked at the crocodile, who was now sentenced to death in her mind. There was a strange feeling bubbling inside her small chest and, without knowing, she'd activated magic she'd been born with. In her anger it was directed at the crocodile, the one that she wanted to see dead more than anything or anyone else.
