Some foals are dropped off here by anxious parents, parents who promise to return for them and who leave them along only with the promise of the fae that no harm will come to the young they protect. That isn’t the case for the little roan filly who lands quietly within the long grasses, folding her wings against her sides and peering around curiously. No, Cleary is quite sure that she could disappear entirely and Kellyn would care only because it might have been an insult for her to have been taken. Already, every time the girl displeases her mother, the mare threatens to simply send her away, to live with her older sisters and grandfather she’s never met.
Of course, that’s on good days. On Kellyn’s bad days, she threatens to leave Cleary in Pangea alone, which is infinitely more terrifying than any member of her unknown family. Less than two seasons into her life, and the tiny filly has already realized that most of the residents of Pangea give her the creeps.
Every day, she is thankful that she was not born plain. Her wings give her the ability to slip away from her mother, making it to the Playground a little winded but without the dangers and time that come from land travel, and the other…well…she suspects the other talent is the only thing that has kept her at her mother’s side for this long already. Something about her hidden trait is special to Kellyn, and so naturally Cleary guards it carefully, as if slowly doling out new occurrences as if it is only slowly manifesting itself within her will make Kellyn love her for longer.
She can hear the voices of other children on the breeze, and so she walks forward with a confidence she does not feel, and waits to encounter someone.
