Fear Controls You |Divest|

[Divest]

Her world is simple and small. She only knows the tropical island, but the young pastel filly has made every bit of it her own domain. Well, as much as any naïve girl could do. Divest’s imagination was rather creative and wild. She spent most of her days playing alone, unless her mother decided to give her some time. Most days her mother was willing to be her playmate and go along with her made-up world. It was simply bliss on the island being the only foal. Although at times she did wish to travel to the other lands. Divest learned that if you stood on the south-eastern part of the island you could the see the tip of a volcano in the distance. Her mother said it was Tephra. There was also the mainland her mother had told her about too. Everything seemed so far away from where she was. Perhaps one day when she was a bit older, she could explore it all on her own. For now, Divest enjoys ruling her islands. She dismissed every possible thought that Ruinam was actually the leader. Divest loved every bit of the island, but by far her favorite part was the small, unique island that was in the center of the island itself. It all seemed entirely possible to her! She still couldn’t wrap it around her head that there was an island within an island. Even now she is thinking about it—a thought she could not completely get out of her head. Her face crinkles in concentration as she considers the water that divides the two islands. She looks back and forth across the swallow water. Her silver eyes follow along the path of the water as well. “UGH!” She says loudly in frustration. Stomping her right diamond hoof, Divest turns away from where she stood at the edge of the smaller island. She follows along the shore, clearly finding it best to do something else than to solve something that still has made no sense to her. Making her way down the shoreline, she catches sight of a white and teal filly. Divest quickly stops in her tracks with wide eyes. She certainly had never seen that filly before! And she certainly wasn’t here ever. She is here to steal my island! The young filly thinks with anger quickly. Picking up her pace, her long limbs swiftly carry her towards the filly. “EXCUSE ME!” She says loudly as she nears the filly. Divest looks over the stranger. She is clearly taller than her, indicating that she might be older too. Divest snorts and meets the gaze of the older filly. “You are on MY island,” her voice is firm, and she does her best to hold a stern face. She will not have her island be stolen without a fight!
