not long now to the rising; any

[Warlight]

She needs to leave. The three-pronged gash across her shoulder is still hot and tender and her head has been hurting more often than not. She couldn't stand her family's crowded grotto, not tonight. Warlight needed to be anywhere else, but preferably somewhere she could be the only living soul for miles. A place she could find her peace, or if she can't find that at least she can scream at the sky without a worried mother showing up. 

A smarter girl would have caught The Fear, valued the comfort of her family and grown wary of being alone. A smarter girl would learn her lesson, but Warlight intended to teleport herself somewhere far away. Nerine's northernmost shore would do just fine, she thinks as the lucid dream begin to close in around her, and she vanishes - or at least she begins to. 

'Hello'

That word worms it's way into the escapee's dream, sparking her nearly-fatal curiosity and turning her plans on their head. It is enough to cause her thoughts to flicker back to Hyaline as her dreaming begins to re-arrange her molecules, to flood her thoughts with images of the lakeshore and derail her intended journey. 

With a pop-- Kagerus' daughter reappears behind the mare, four hooves in the water and silver ripples radiating out around her. Dark eyes, like black river-stones at midnight, run across the stranger without bothering to pretend to do otherwise.  She was different and intriguing, so it is with near reverence in her voice the antlerd filly speaks into the darkness. 

"Who are you?"

Warlight
Soul as sweet as blood red jam

A little backstory here! Warlight was attacked by a bear a week or so ago and saw a friend die and another seriously injured in the same attack. Also I picture her as looking a lot like Kagerus in color/build
