It had been ages it seemed since she had been new to Beqanna full of timid curiosity. The image of Loess' salty lake stood vivid in her mind along with her new friend Lepis beside her. It had been the moment all had changed. In one quick moment the plague had consumed all and then just as quickly leaving, for good. She had moved on of course, she had no intentions in that moment settling down. She had so much life to live and so much land to explore but she would never forget her friend - or so she thought.
She had not forgotten her completely. Much had changed within the many passing seasons. Her life had been completed and stripped apart to many times to count. She had lost herself more than once, placing every good memory, feeling, moment away. It had settled deep beneath her self pity, locked away to be "forgotten".
During the meeting she had not expected to find the face of a friend starring back at her from the pedestal in the meadow. Lethy had found a home, had regained the confidence she had lost all because of one man who remained a solid constant over the last few months. She had watched all of that confidence of his own that he had placed upon her be stripped away in one fell swoop. The names of those that had taken it from him had graced her ears more than once, but her name along with others had been packed away. She had not in a million years expected that name to belong to her face, a face she could not forget.
After the meeting she waited as Aten left her side, hoping that she could talk to her. She did not know if it would be different now, with the current circumstances but she did not have many friends and she would be kicking herself later if she did not try.
Lepis she said quietly as she moved to find her friends as she descended from her spot above them. A gentle smile graced her muzzle as her friend came into view.
