[Continuing after spar thread complexities and contemplations of activists. So Hespera has left.]

"GO, you've nothing left!"

In the wake following Ampere's words the sky shuddered with anticipation, stars fading in and out like stuttering fluorescent bulbs. The wind moved relentlessly, intent on driving away the tension that built between the two mares like a solid entity.

The moment hung and Ampere's breath hitched, sweat clinging to her 'brow as exhausted muscles clenched in preparation to serve until obliteration, if that's what it would take. The weight of the decision lay upon Hespera now, and through eyes narrowed into electric lines Ampere watched, and waited.

Then, the silence broke.

Hooves hitting the turf as Hespera walked away. The bulbs broke and the stars came crashing down, their impact trembling into Ampere's bones like gentle kisses fluttering across the root of her mortality. They both would survive another day, another fight.
Following that embrace of relief another sound stirred the black tide of the night as sterling wings grabbed the air; Otienu left like a flash of moonlight. His freedom glinted off his silver body and filled Ampere with a joy such as this abyss of a world felt with the return of the starlight following the absolute dark of a season. It brought a smile to Ampere's lips, even as she collapsed.

Somewhere in the back of Ampere's mind she remembered the painted mare near her here, but for now she was intent on watching that gryphon fly the opposite direction of his bonded, the sight like a balm to her wounds which burned fierce. Still she smiled.

There is a certain beauty to a bloody smile. There's something of a triumph in the shadows it throws upon the lines of the face, regardless of the true victory of the matter.

Tonight, Ampere won.
