you won’t see me fall apart
The twins are so peculiar to Thorunn, a twin herself. She can barely remember Val these days. What was once a brilliant sisterhood between two strong mares was now a shadow of a union. They were opposites, the way that two sides of a coin can be similar and yet different. Both were copper like their mother, but Val took after their mother while Thorunn stayed close to Covet's side. Thorny and Val, Val and Thorny.
Now it was just Thorny, though no one called her that. No one knew to call her it. Even if someone tried to dig into the recesses of her mind they'd come up blank - thanks dad. Though, she didn't know of this power. It is often this way with invisible traits.
Spear and Spark were nothing like her and Val, but she wouldn't hold it against them. She suspected if she'd grown up with Val closer to herself they'd have the same bond. If she closed her eyes she couldn't even hear her sister breathe. Maybe she was dead. Maybe she was alive.
"Habit," she offers with a rolling shrug. "You know, when you are raised one way it's hard to go the other way." Her smile is the same ghost of sadness, of times long since gone, of emptiness. "What about you, do you prefer the light or the dark?"
