And if the stars aligned, would it be you and I?
Ketzia
Everything was different. Mama was gone, papa was gone - Kove was gone too. For the first time in her life, the lavender freckled filly was uncertain of what would become of her. Without her twin by her side the world took on a new form. Harsh and unfamiliar and too cold. Left to the care of her newly discovered older siblings, Kromium and Karat, Ketzia did her best to stick close to their sides. Fear gripped her as everything she had known slowly faded into oblivion behind her.
Numb to the changing of the scenery, she trailed behind her elder siblings, confusion and fear tumbling around inside of her. Of course, she could have followed her mother and Kove across the sea to the island oasis, but that thought had paralyzed her. The big water had not welcomed her warmly upon their first meeting and it appeared to her that they had not been compatible forces. She could not return willingly into its cruel embrace - saying farewell had been easier. Land was safer. Land was solid.
Exhaustion was heavy upon her as their little caravan of purple and green came to a sudden halt. Stumbling slightly forward she teetered unsteadily upon her too tall legs. The day was yawning and Ketzia was eager to rest. Her lavender and grey sister wasted no time in claiming a spot within the shade of a large tree. Eerily quiet, no one cared to speak and, as Karat's eyes beckoned the young filly to join her, Ketzia was quick to comply. Nearly falling to her knees she nestled into her sister's warmth, shivering against the frozen wind that surrounded them. Throigh heavy lids, Ketzia watched as her older brother stood nearby, his eyes trained to the shadows in search of the first sign of danger.
Through heavy yawns she managed to ask, "Are we almost there?"

Or would you bid me a celestial goodbye?
