Slå mig hårt i ansiktet så får jag känna att jag lever
Many had gathered around the fallen dragon, some who had known her in life and others who would only know of the legend. He was neither the former or the latter. Once they had exchanged words beneath the boughs of this woodland cathedral, but other than the memory of gleaming golden eyes and a mysterious smile Cathun couldn't recall much. She had seemed so much smaller than in his father's stories, so much softer and warmer.
But she was gone now, and he stood on the outskirts of the group with his mind reeling from words carelessly thrown into the wind, words that shook him to the core and threatened to overthrow his whole world.
"Lace is dead too", the unicorn had said.
What?
Lace is dead.
No.
No, that wasn't right. Couldn't be right. It had to be some kind of mistake - Cathun had seen his father only half a season ago, had seen him jump into the heat of battle with rippling muscles and the white mane flying like a banner through the air. They had fought together, parted again with the promise to meet and catch up properly later, he had been cheerful and just as vibrant as when they'd first met, full of vigor and life.
How, how could he be dead? This wasn't real, it wasn't happening. Cathun had been on his way forth to Amaris, to be there for her in her grief - but now his feet stood glued to the ground and all he could do was stare blankly while faces swam before his vision, blurred and inconsequential. They spoke of fires, of burials and send-offs and somewhere the colt knew he ought to be there, help stem the flow of agitated voices...
but he just couldn't bring himself to do anything. Numbly, with a feeling that everything that had meant something in the world had disappeared, he quietly turned and left, leaving others to their grief so that he would be able to deal with his own.
Some things just weren't meant to be shared. This was one of them.
