If only the committed will survive
Is anybody here still left alive?

Just as quickly as Ampere inflated she deflated, though there was nothing calm about the black and blue mare's appearance. Grusha assumed that it was her father's presence that kept her mother from launching into a self-righteous tirade about how bonds were evil. It was slavery and the bonded had no choice in the matter and everything else she had said before.

Gaucho asked her what had happened, but before Grusha could respond her twin began to spin the tale about how they had saved a mother and her pups and found the two eggs that were already in the process of hatching. "It wath a big monthter, Ma." She added to her sister's tale. "Big and ugly and thupid. But it wath trying to kill the momma and babieth to it could eat them." Because that's what monsters did.

Grusha nodded along as Tae explained about the cave and how the eggs had already been there hatching. "We were lookin' for thuff to dithtract the monthter when we heard them. And ith not like we forthed it. It juth happened and we couldn't control it. We couldn't leave with the monthter out there lookin' for food. It wouldda ate uth, Ma."

Would that have made their mother happy? If they had become monster food instead of accidentally bonding to a couple of wolf pups and saving a mother and her babies?

The larger girl looked to her sister as she wrapped up their story about how the bond had happened, but she had her own question. "Would it be better if we thacrifithed eight liveth inthtead of two?"

Was it really so bad, though, to be bonded? Was it really one sided slavery? Was she not victim to Nashoba's whims just as he was to hers?

"You have one." She pointed out. "Pop hath two." Did you save yours? Did pop save his?
