Nyx prides herself on being brave in the purest sense of the word. To her, bravery does not mean fearing nothing at all; that is not possible. No, to her bravery comes from fearing something but doing it anyway. She fears predators; she bonded to one. She fears direct eye contact; she found herself in a high-ranked position in her herd that involves her speaking to her underlings and thus requires looking them in the eye to earn their respect. She fears Death, yet she has stared down its throat on a number of occasions in order to save a child or fight for the greater good. She fears deep water, yet she walked into it to try and save her son a couple of years ago. For that, she was rewarded with magic, but that has not lessened her dislike of water where she cannot see the bottom. The liquid is useful to drink, but Nyx abhors the sensation of losing her hooves in it. It is the unknown, and Kisamoa's arrival has played on her mind since he hauled himself from the ocean and onto the beach. He embodies everything terrifying about deep water, and Nyx's instincts tell her to give him a wide berth. So when she sees Oizys diving into the ocean without a care, it takes a great deal of courage for the silver soldier to throw her terror out the window and go in after her. The girl might be abrasive, rude and not at all affectionate, but she is still Nyx's child. And if there's one thing Nyx can do with aplomb, it's be a mother bear. She's arrived too late to hear Kisamoa's declaration that the seaweed allows the eater to breathe underwater. All she sees is her daughter ploughing into the sea and disappearing beneath the loam, heralded by a cloud of bubbles as she descends to a watery grave. Her ears flatten to her head as she splashes in after her eldest remaining child, her heart beating a steady rhythm of pulsating terror but her mind focused and cold. Dominus hangs back on the shore, baring his teeth and growling his concern as his bonded attempts to grab hold of the end of Oizys' lion tail to try and pull her backwards out of the water. |
Isn't joining the drop - arrives and tries to save Oizys, as she has no idea the seaweed is magical and just thinks Ozzy is trying to kill herself >.>
