[private] Tabula Rasa - Agetta

[Anaxarete]

YOU CAN HEAR WHEN THE HEART STOPS. The shadowmare had returned. The last time she’d discovered Agetta in the meadow, she had remained safely in the shadows.  However that encounter had left Anaxarete with questions.  Agetta’s memories had been tampered with.  The shadowmare knew because she had been absent from them. Upon this realization, Anaxarete had quickly seized upon the opportunity that had afforded itself. Even now, again veiled in shadows, Anaxarete could sense the dual heartbeats fluttering within Agetta’s womb - her sides swollen from the burden of carrying two children. However, Anaxarete had retreated to the shadows after their last encounter, letting her presence go unnoticed. She had needed time to digest the implications of this realization.  So she had returned to her home to consider the possibilities.  Again, Anaxarete probed the white mare’s memories from the shadow.  Again, she found all memories of herself absent. Not just masked or hidden away or suppressed but gone. They had been wiped away.  A clean slate. The shadowmare was not one to allow opportunities to pass her by.  So this time...this time she stepped from the shadows, angling herself to intercept the white mare without making it obvious that was her intention. And when their paths did cross, the shadowmare turned to face the white mare.  “I’m sorry to bother you, but you look so familiar,” she began, pausing for effect before adding,  “Have we met?” - A N A X A R E T E - been there, done that
