Blood is Thicker than Water [Kwartz, Any] - Kromium~Karat - 04-13-2018 Kromium ~ Karat Blood is Thicker than Water Recent events were beginning to turn their short lives into a blurr. First they were attacked physically and now they were leaving the home they just returned too. Barely a week had gone by since they had made the long trip home. Karats ribs were just beginning to ease of the constant pain, when mother rushed to them. Come kids, we need to leave... @[Kwartz] RE: Blood is Thicker than Water [Kwartz, Any] - Kwartz - 04-13-2018 I've been a fool all my life, Kwartz. You're the only thing I don't regret. That's why you have to go with them He'd fought, he'd cried, but she remained stoic. Mother, his mother was pushing him away. Maybe she had good reasons, maybe he really would be more safe with his relatives. But he wanted his mother. It had been the two of them against ghee world for so long. Why was she changing that? Why was she making him go? And then the heavier blow had been swung, knocking the air from him. "You are my strength and my Light, baby, and i can't let you get hurt any more. Go Kwartz. Go with your father. He'll take care of you while I can't." His father? Mother's sad blue eyes had followed the purple stallions departing figure, and the pied colt finally saw the truth for what it was. She had been lying, all along. He hadn't fought, after that. Now he stood here, surrounded and alone, the only home he knew being invaded by the darkest souls. And she'd let it happen. Karat, his half sister, tried to reassure him. He shrugged the words off silently. Staring straight ahead he marched with the group, not saying a word once they left the bounds of what had once been his kingdom. And now they were looking into a new land, hoping for a kind welcome in their time of need. Kromium's joke about the volcano fell flat on his ears, anf he wished desperately that he could fly away from here. He'd find mother and make her explain things properly. The throbbing in his damaged wing dictated otherwise. It would be several weeks until he was fit to fly, just another stone added to the weight in the list boy's stomach. He almost welcomes it when Karat's gave falls, and she finally realizes just how screwed they are. "Finally got there, have you?" He asked bitterly. Misery loves company. @[Kromium~Karat] RE: Blood is Thicker than Water [Kwartz, Any] - Kromium~Karat - 04-14-2018 Kromium ~ Karat Blood is Thicker than Water Besides answering Karat, his entire focus is on the discussion of the elders. The conversation is saddening to say the least. They had lost their home but they still had each other. He steps closer to his mother as Karat too quiets. His emerald eyes find her stunned by the news. Kwartz grumbles something to Karat and then it happens... @[Kwartz] RE: Blood is Thicker than Water [Kwartz, Any] - Krone - 04-14-2018 The children are arguing. It seemed that everyone was arguing now, everyone was fighting about something. She moves away from the conversation the other adults are having, and instead turns her attention to her children. She looks each in their eyes, all reflections of her own. It was time they learned the truth. “Come, children.” She says, taking them away from the others. It was best she explain this just her, so that maybe it would be easier for them to comprehend. When they are a short distance away from the welcoming committee she turns to them, sighing. “It is true, young ones, we are homeless...” Her voice trails. “But to no fault of your own. No fault of anyone. Brennen has planned this...raid, for awhile now. There was nothing we could do about it. The numbers weren’t in our favor in Ischia.” She looks directly at Kwartz. “Sylva was taken to...by who I’m not sure but that’s why your mother sent you with us. So you’d be safe.” She looks down now. “politics are hard to explain to such young, caring souls. Ischia is not ours anymore. But maybe we can rebuild...here.” |
