THE SUN DOES NOT ABANDON THE MOON TO DARKNESS

If she could remember anything that her mama had told her it would have to be to stay strong. At the time the young girl hadn't made too much sense of the words but the more she heard them, the more they were beginning to make some kinda sense. Temby had said something like that to her as well at one point or another so it could only mean that she needed to get through loosing her mother in someway. Standing before her was a prime example of someone that had also lost their mother and managed to get through it now the only question was how did she do it? The stubborn streak in her wanted nothing more than to just continue the way she had been, but was that really a way to live for the rest of her life? Blinded by grief and paralyzed by her sadness? Erthe didn't so why should she have to? This little piece of information gave her a little bit of hope.

Moving forward and managing to live on her own was another story. She was slowly learning to eat the icky grass stuff but it definitely did not taste very good. Anzaine had been allowing her to feed at least but she really didn't like sharing with the new baby. Guess that meant having to eat more of the grass somehow and just learn to like it, although berries were rather tasty maybe she could just eat those instead.

Listening as Erthe started talking again her suspicions were confirmed about the meaning of died and gone but as everyone else had said she was told not to give up hope. While she wanted to believe that one day her mama might return there was something deep inside her that told her that day would never come. It was like a dark hole filled with pain that made it hurt to breathe, hurt just to live. It was something that she couldn't explain but it effectively crushed any hope that she had about the possibility of ever seeing her mother again despite the stories of this world having strange things happen. "Mama will never come back. I just know she won't. She said softly enjoying Erthe's comforting touch.

As the topic thankfully changed to Temby and Elsa it helped the youngster to feel a little better at imagining everyone going around clucking. This was something she would love to see! Two new names surfaced making her wonder just how many people lived in this strange place. "Who is Captain Nyx and Uncle Mauja?" She inquired poking her head out from underneath Erthe's wing so she could look up at the older filly.

WORDS: ### || TAGGED: Erthe
