Raeden

I Tourture You
And You Know It

Listless legs wandered the lands of Edge. On this night the pair could not find themselves drifting off into the world of everlasting dreams. Minds floated and ran away from any thought of sleep. The moon was their guide. The children were sleeping in the hut. Sweet babies curled up together keeping the other warm. Occasionally, Raeden would send Tin off to check the sweet darlings. The joy of motherhood swelled in her heart once again. These children seemed much different from Gawen. They were born with passive magic and there was something special about the little creatures.

Teal orbs watched the shadowed lands of the herd. Silver flecks glowed in the moons omniscience glow that touched the earth. All was quiet, not even forest animals dared to move in the night. The specter floated across the ground. Long cream tresses kissed the earth with divine grace. The curves from the children she use to bare were fading away. Her sides were still slightly swollen with the weight from the twins that were once in womb. The birth was difficult, but she was recovering well from the ordeal. Light colored hooves glowed against the darkened ground. Her opalescent skull looked to where the bushes rustled. Tin hid the pair as they watched a companion go skipping by. It was an odd time of the morning for others to be awake.

Bright green eyes of her companion looked over to her. Raeden simply shook her head and began walking under the cover of Tin’s magic. Lurking along the path less traveled by others; they grew closer and closer to the beast. Her breath was quiet and hooves walked carefully in the forest brush. Finally after traveling for a bit of time the mare was able to see who was up wondering around. The moon was starting to give the sky back to the sun. The cycle was a reminder that there is always light in the darkness, and always darkness in the light. Orbs watched the man and his companion move. She was unsure, but he seemed pissed about something. Maybe it was just the way the sun started to rise behind his figure.

Stepping out from the bush the pale golden lady revealed herself. Bright orbs glowed in the dawns early light. A smile came to her maw once she realized who the man in front of her was. " Laurelin, I thought you left the Edge? It has been a long time since I have seen you around here. I hope all is well? " Her soft voice slipped past her maw like sweet honey. Tilting her head in question the mare thought she picked up on the scent of her sister. A questioning look fell upon her face. Was Hotaru here? No she…. She couldn’t be here. Her twin felt like a distant memory on some days, but she was the other half of her soul. Her face remained slightly puzzled as she stood there looking at the man. Tin finally walked up to stand beside Raeden. His heavy skull dipped to the other Cerndyr in a respectful greeting. There were so many questions the specter wanted to ask, but she remained quietly waiting.

"Talk."
