And just like that, her brood has grown.
“Come along, Kreed” Solace asks gently, ready to tuck the girl out of sight from prying eyes so close to the broader. The Queen of Loess seems eager enough to return to her home now that the business has been settled, and likewise Solace will feel more comfortable once shielded by steadfast mountains of her own home.
The dark filly is cooperative and frighteningly young, and Solace keeps her close, ever ready to extend a wing should she need to. Their pace is slow but steady and as the girl speaks up Hyaline's Caretaker turns her gaze away from their destination and to the filly.
“We are going to the heart of Hyaline.” Solace replies in a low, warm tone. “There is a lake there, with lots of soft grass and other children.”
As if to confirm her statement, the clamor of small hooves on stone becomes noticeable and a colt approaching. “Hello Clayton,” Solace says with a surprised, yet pleased voice after he introduces himself. She was nearly expecting one of her own children to crop up and confess to having followed her, “It’s nice to finally meet you, Warlight has mentioned you."
She pauses for a moment, her blue eyes falling on her new ward as Clayton attention seems to be drawn to her too. "This is Kreed, she’s going to be living here with us.”
She lets the children greet each other in their own way, happy to stand back and watch.
Finally, she does interrupt.
“We were on our way to the lake, maybe you would like to show Kreed around.”
we are the ever-living ghost of what once was
