Embark
Mother and father had warned her about the trees and the water. How her and sissy weren't to go near there, or they would be in trouble. Embark had only asked her mother once why she wasn't allowed to (a child is a curious creature after all).
Her mothers emerald eyes went blank, as if she was imagining something. Their glazed, distracted look caused the young girl's head to tilt in curiosity, caused her to approach. She had touched her mother's shoulder delicately, trying to gain her attention. To her shock, mother backed up, ears flat against the crown of her head.
"BAD things happen near the forests, Embark!" She had screamed, anger clouded her usually sweet composure. The pure volume of her mother's voice caused the filly to burst into tears and run, straight under the dark legs of her father.
"Go play." He told her with a comforting nuzzle, before walking over to talk to mother, who was shaking against the wall of their cave.
That was the first and last time she had ever asked.
So when Deiti finally peels herself from the tree line, she feels relieved.
"C'mon sissy! Let's play tag!" She grins, running towards her sibling and nipping at her dark shoulder. "You're it! Catch me if you can!" She shouts. Embark sticks out her tongue playfully before bounding through the flowers, away from her sister.
