Khaeli
Her sister falls behind, making the sneaking even more serious - a thing the girl had thought next to impossible. Head low to the ground and hooves barely making a sound, she crept through the land with nary a thought on her mind besides getting home, to mother and to father, where she could expect much love after a brief chastisement.
Not sneaky enough.
Squeaking in surprise, little Khaeli jumped nearly out of her skin when the unexpected words flew towards her in a mockingly friendly tone. Trembling, she scrambles back towards Alonwy until the two are side by side. The tree figure, though undeniably endearing, frightened Khaeli because of its oddness. And it could hear without ears; out of all things, that most unnerved her. Breathless, the little princess allowed her sister to do the talking, tears swimming in her eyes as she came to realize exactly what was about to happen to them.
Sometimes, a child's instincts are too keen for their own good.
"Please," she begged tearfully, sobs blubbering up from her chest and making her a pitiful, heartbreaking sight. Her wings shook with the sobs, mouth crumpling into an expression far sadder than any she'd sported before. "Please let us go - daddy is waiting for me, he said he'd play a game of tag with me tonight after he has a short meeting with the brotherhood, and momma is about to have her baby any day now, please let us go, please, please, ple-"
A sharp shove from Alonwy quiets the girl's panicked bleating, perhaps because she's managed to reveal their identity and patronage, or perhaps because the black tobiano knows that it'll be better for their last moments to pass in silence, instead of in screaming.
It's a nice thought.
And oh, it was a nice life, for the short year that it lasted.
Today was her first birthday.

If all the world were apple pie ,and all the seas were ink, and all the trees were bread and cheese, what would we have to drink?
