DESPAYR
At Night she Walks the Beaches...
Their world had sunk into the breast of Beqanna as she cradled the other lands. Nourished them from her teat until they were fat and full. What about them? Where will the outcasts call home?
She had survived Pangea as it fell, found her brother-her family- in the commonlands, but she didn't belong there. She had a deep need to find the water. Feel it wrap around her frame to soothe her pains. It's gentle lapping putting her into a deep trans. So she left. She walked the beaches until she reached the farthest of edge. Each stride draining her strength. Keep going... Just a little farther... Just keep going... The waters erased her hoof prints with each to and froe. Her presence of ever being there vanished. Maybe this time he would not find her so easily...
It seemed like days she traveled. Each one nearer, each one harder. The time was soon approaching and she knew it. Lengthening her stride evermore. Until... There it was. The end was just before her and as the beach ended, the ocean was all she could see. Two toned eyes drank in the salty sight. Oh how she missed the sea. She did not stop as the beach ended. Ivory legs carried her as far as they could reach. Her crown held just above the surface but otherwise engulfed in the sweet embrace of the waters. Her pains had all but faded when a final contraction gripped her insides. Twisting them painfully as she winced, bringing her nose underwater momentarily. As quick as it came it faded...
Frantically she twisted back to shore, eyes darting about. Searching for the reason she was here. Lowering her crown below the surface. She felt most at ease here. Even in equine form she moved gracefully in the waters. Upon inspection she found a creature drifting lifelessly in the waters. It's transparent color made it hard to see it's exact size or form. She reached out her muzzle to probe it to life, only to have a slight sting placed upon her lips. A sting she had felt many times before in her dolphin form. A jellyfish...? This was much to large to be any jellyfish she had ever come in contact with, and the form was all wrong...
She hadn't realized they were floating closer to shore and she could easily stand now. The creature was beginning to surface as well and as it did it began to darken... Its form becoming more mammal, more familiar. Her muzzle lowered and nudged it to shore. Laying upon the sandy beach now it was nearly all equine. It's scrawny mane and tail a twisted mess of hair and tenticales. She circled the foal and gripped it's neck between her teeth, dragging it farther into the sand. Licking upon it's tiny face to stimulate it's breathing...
Slowly she came to. A desperate shake of her now ebony head to rid her ears of sea water. Eyes opening slightly to view the world. Those eyes... Those deep crimson eyes, her father's eyes. Looking upon her mother's face as she stared in confusion and pride. Dotted upon her, cleaning the sand from her face. Slender legs curled up under her now as she sat up. Still trying to figure out how they worked. It definitely didn't take long before she was standing on wobbly new legs. Bracing against her mother's forelimbs. Happily allowing the sun to dry and warm her fluffy grey-black coat. She looked upon her mother just then with blood red eyes for guidance...
"Dynast is your name. We have been waiting for you." She smiled then. A very rare occurrence for the spotted mare.
