Celest
Move
And she had. Her bluff had been called and the cream and seafoam filly was left no other option - she had looked down his throat and into hell and she had turned south and walked without another word. She knew her mother couldn't save her, even if she did come looking before nightfall, and something rebellious and dark inside of her hopes they can get away before anyone can 'save' her return her to her mother's haunt.

The name runs on a continuous loop in her mind as they trudge through the riverland and up to open country she has never seen before. The title makes sense now, and the seer's daughter is even more sure that the premonition she had felt right before he attacked was about him- and that was his name. It sends a thrill along her spine.
But now, they had been walking for hours and her strength had returned but the excitement is waning. The girl is not used to going hungry, her mother had always been available, and her small stomach is turning itself into knots in want. She had only just begun to eat grass, but now, she craves her mother's milk and the rich nutrition her lithe growing body needs.
The wolf devil trails her like a shadow, and she pretends that she is a Queen and him her loyal guard as they march under the open blue sky and into the unknown. She is growing bored with thinking and hungry too, but luckily he breaks the silence before she can find her own way to liven their journey. His question intrigues her - she hadn't thought that he would possibly be afraid of meeting anyone on their unmarked road, she hadn't thought of crying out for help. Maybe the white and black dragon-scaled stallion she had met in Losses had seen them skirting his home and would come to investigate. But she doubts it even before the thought is fully formed.
As he asks for her name she turns to face him, staying light on her toes in case he tries to bodyslam her into movement again. "I'm hungry," she states in childish defiance of his question, but quickly she continues "But my name is Celest, my mother named me after my father." He probably doesn't care, she thinks, but that was how it had been explained to her and so it is how she explains it. Quickly, she tears a clump of grass from the earth and begins to chew, thew her mouthful she speaks with genuine curiosity. "And who would we cross paths with out here, Fire-Fang?" Her small dished face turns to glance to the east and west, "I haven't seen anyone."
She had noticed they were heading for another gloomy forest and she wasn't ready to be hidden away again.
