Show them the joy and the pain and the ending
The world is a strange and vast place. To the small roan girl with white spattered across her body, it is even more so. She has learned so much since her delicate form had first landed on the dry, endless sands of the Desert. And one of the first things she had learned is that she is different from everybody else. She can do and see things that are completely baffling to a young child like her. To say that this has expanded her horizons far beyond the norm for a filly her age is perhaps the understatement of the year.
But that does not stop her. Nor, I suspect, will it ever.
Today is a new day, and with that new day come so many new experiences. Even more so than usual, for she has decided today is a good day to experiment. She does not yet know the extent or limitations of her ability, but she is swiftly learning. To child like she however, it seems so nearly limitless.
She blinks rapidly for a moment as her sight expands and stretches, as it splits into a hundred different images, filling her mind with impossible things. She laughs briefly at the millions of flutter leaves and swaying grasses before flinching back at the hundred massive noses quickly filling her field of vision. The start causes her to snap back into herself, to release the sight she had so briefly borrowed from the caterpillar.
In the end though, her curiosity gets the best of her.
Peeking from her convenient hiding place, pale eyes the color of cornflowers fall onto the little filly as she stalks the caterpillar whose sight Heartfire had just used. As she steps from the small stand of poplar trees, she catches the faint words as the girl mutters them to the heedless creature. Frowning, she clears her throat briefly, a sound so reminiscent of her father. Her words however, are clear and childlike. ”Perhaps he thinks that you are strange.”
