Eternal life, eternal beauty. Such shallow pursuits, perhaps, and yet she bequeathed it to those willing to pay its price. It did not come for free, never something for nothing and perhaps that something was only for amusement. Regardless, it was always a means to an end, whatever form that might take. Consider this a debt paid. Her sisters distaste for them all had come to light, there were no secrets kept for too long. Was it a secret even? Either way Kirin knew she had renounced their ways, thought them barbaric and uncivil and he did not need to tell Potion the punishment. Whether she had wanted it or not the vibrant feathered pegasus had been among those to receive her sisters gift, for quite some time. While she no longer reaped those benefits, Father thought Potion should have some sort of compensation, a girl must be paid. It was not hard to find them, the smell soaking the earth and permeating the air with life anew. The forest clearing one of many and yet somehow, this one was quieter than others, a place of solitude. For a time. Potion knew there would be many and she was not wrong. One, two, three. Mind the three-fold laws, she thought with a smile curving across her pastel lips. Ah three little things she had blessed at the end of winter, three little things now she would take. Their mother dozed so peacefully among the grass, spent from her labors and Potion stood before them for a moment, watching with a considering eye. She loved her sister, let that not be lost now, in this moment of treachery. However, what you hear are lies. Love doesn't conquer all. “You knew this would come,” she whispered, lowering her maw to her sisters velvet ear. Her lavender lips nearly touching the soft taper of their zenith. “Come my dears,” she called to the children, and though the smallest was hardly more than ordinary she would have him too. There was to be no mercy, no half payments or collections. All or nothing.

He is a boy, normal, if not oddly colored, in a land of wings and horns. And yet, that gay lady.... g- g- grrayyy lady, seems to know who they are.Wicked little thing, she says to him. His eyes widen. He knows that this is his name but does not understand the implications of what this old lady means. What is wicked? And so he trails behind, unextraordinary--and purple--behind the only family he has ever known. His mother; forgotten. He has barely seen her in his short existence, and even then, it was barely for a moment. He has suckled his first meal, and then had fallen asleep. Now in the company of this strange old g- g- gray lady, following his older bigger sisters like a good little boy is supposed to. He does not speak. What can he say? This old lady certainly doesn't want him. One who calls him Wicked. Wicked little thing. What is wicked? |
