Kuma
"Do you even know what truly being scared feels like Kuma?" The words slip from his silver lips, venom piercing her heart. She shifts her line of sight downwards, avoiding his intense gaze. If he was joking, she couldn't tell - the question looms over her like a stormy day.
Her home, sinking into the vast ocean. Life as she once knew it shattered, a mess of broken dreams and stripped magic. Heart racing, earth quaking beneath her hooves. She couldn't move fast enough; she had wished it all to be a nightmare, for her to wake up beside her since-forgotten family. Her body, plunging into the ocean as she tried to find sanctuary in a new world.
No friends.
No family.
Loneliness was like a beast in the night; always lurking beyond the shadows. She combated it with meaningless one-night stands and relationships with others who could care less about her. The fear never left her heart - the fear that one day Beqanna may fall again, and she'd be left alone. Only this time, she would let the tides take her to the bottom...she could not face it again.
Her emerald eyes shift back to him, jaw clenched and maw straightened into a thin line. To tell a stranger of what she's seen seems foolish. "Fear is divergent." She says blankly, shifting her weight to all four of her legs. "Your idea of fear is different than mine...but it is yours. It's all in how you react to it." Again she looks downwards, letting a sigh escape her chestnut muzzle.. He jokes about enjoying the scenery, and she smiles, again glancing at him to see his icy eyes trained on her.
"Me too." She murmurs, locking eyes with him.
Blessed with beauty and rage
