What could she do but stand there, rooted to the same spot in the ground when her brown eyes met those of her mother. She was seen and the filly held her breath, waiting to see what would happen. Megaera moved away from the strangers she was with and towards Vastra, which she almost didn’t believe for a moment. Shouldn’t her mother be moving away? But no, she came over and she unfurled her wings to wrap them around the red-dun filly as though she were just a newborn.

Vastra did not pull away, but she stood like a statue in that embrace - her mind screaming and her resolve weakening as she heard that nickname Castor had given her because he couldn’t say her name properly. Vasa.

In the grand scheme of things, it had not truly been that long since she had heard someone call her by that name but to her it had been forever. Everything felt like forever while she was so young - each and every day was such a huge percentage of the life she had lived so far and the ones recently had all been empty of these familial touches and her mother’s voice.

She didn’t want her mother to cry but she couldn’t forgive her, not yet.

She was vaguely aware of shouting happening amongst the pair a little ways away but her attention did not focus on those strangers. She didn't even get any time to think about how to react to her mother's embrace because right then her treacherous twin showed up. Castor, in all of his grace and glory, came barreling past her and knocking right into their dam. Of all the days for him to actually show up! Here he finally was. This, this got the red-sand filly to snort in annoyance, backing away from the pair and out of the reach, for the moment, of Megaera. Small ears flattened against her head as her burning brown eyes were focused on her twin. She had assumed he was with their mother and for him to barrel in and pretend like he hadn't seen Megaera in forever was too much.

“WHERE WERE YOU?!” She screamed the words in a feral voice before launching herself at Castor, her teeth bared and small wings flashing out. How dare he show up here, NOW, as if she hadn’t been searching all over Helovia for months?!


the embers of a fire still burning as they die
stay bright to keep us side by side
