I Hope That You Burn
Chaos. From all sides a murmuring had risen up around them and as discontent filled the land, fear rose up to choke her. As Durotan had joined the fray, she'd stayed behind with the other foals - safe within the fold of the tropical forest. In many ways she felt as though they had only just gotten comfortable in their new home - now things were changing again.
Huddled in the dark, his voice rose above the clatter - challenging the one called Brennen. Fear's grip tightened. Hardly able to breath, she broke free of her paralysis and zig-zagged through the foliage towards the sound of voices. She had to find her papa.
On the outskirts of the beach, she searched through the many unfamiliar faces, hoping to see his in the mix. Met with disappointment, she wheeled around and bolted back into the trees. Pausing momentarily she braced herself and strained her ears to hear past the confusion of the beach.
There, a few feet ahead, a horse tore through the forest in an equally frantic search. That had to be him! Quickening her pace once more, she started in the his direction, her heart pounding in her ears.
"Papa!" She called, her voice cracking with emotion. "Papa! PAPA!"
She couldn't lose him. She was all she had left in the world and she wouldn't be left alone again.

@[Durotan] This was a little more emotional than I'd anticipated.
