| Thorunn knows the second stallion that approaches. Well, she knows his name - she's seen him before. Father pointed him out once when they were walking through the kingdom. That is Eight, he is the king, he told her. She didn't really understand what that meant - what is a king anyway? What is a kingdom? To a child without worldly experiences these are just words without true weight or meaning. As she grows older she will understand - hierarchy, duty, honor, all that. For now she's just shy of a year old, a twin of an outspoken child, and the daughter of two very important Valley horses. Not that she knows any of that, either. "That's Eight, he's king," Thorunn tells her sister knowingly. They love each other deeply, that much is obvious, but their friendly sibling rivalry is not about a lack of love. It's the typical sort of nonsense you see from children, twin especially. Thorunn is a few moments older than Val. Thorunn DIED when she was born but came back to life. These are little things they hold against each other, but in a playful way. Val will be quick to point out she knows more than Thorunn (because she asks, and she is adventurous) and she is closer to Mother than Thorunn is. And despite how much she acts like she hates being called Thorny, she'll rue the day it's replaced by her full, cumbersome name. "Father told me," she adds, in case the king wonders. |
