With quick deep breaths she clears her mind and decides it was best to take one thing at a time. Finding the twins was priority and then she could speak to Jack about what had transpired with the fairies. Clearly, she had missed a lot in her evening romp.
Amen makes mention having not seen them since their return to the shelter just the other evening, and obviously he has been busy since with his newborn daughter.
She is about to propose a plan when another approaches. Jack is quick to step in front of her protectively and begin drilling the stranger with questions. The man is coated in fire but there is a familiarity in his eyes. He is quick to speak and instantly she knows who he is. “Phoebus?” she says breathlessly, “you’re alive!!” Her dished lifts so she may see over Jack before taking a step towards her grown son. She wants to embrace him, but being he was covered in fire she settles for reaching her muzzle to touch his.
Jack, committed to the cause at hand, makes a suggestion that the twins' father is to blame. She does not look away from her son's aged face, still flabbergasted that he is indeed standing before her. Losing a child without no idea where they were was the greatest grief she has ever carried. And that it was happening again makes the pain so much worse.
Zain took them! Jack says again and this time her gaze shifts. Shifts to another that is approaching, a familiar young mare that appears heavy with child. Crucis comes to stand beside Amen with an affectionate nuzzle and the pieces all come together. Under different circumstances she may have given him a gentle jest, but she refrains. She smiles at the purple mare and gives a light nod to her head.
“Why don’t Jack, Phoebus and I go scout out the east border where Pangea lies. See if we can find any evidence that the twins may be there,” she pauses for a breath, “Amen and Crucis, you stay here in case they return and keep your own children safe… Does that sound like a good plan?” Her head swivels around to each member of the group before ending on her sons face. She smiles the faintest of smiles as her eyes begin to water. Today was becoming one of her worst and best days.
Not all that glitters is gold
