Her side felt empty.
It had always been her and Vervane for as long as she could remember. He was an extension or her, her polar opposite, two halves of one whole. The gentle breeze, though warm, could never reach the heat or comfort that her twin immolated next to her.
She shuffled her pale, white wings softly against her sides sweeping drying mud against her velvety hide from the mud that had collected on her wings while trailing through the thick foliage of Tephras borders. Even though ever since her mother's friend had told her how pretty she was and she had held her head high with affirmation it had not changed how graceful, or lack there of, she was.
Today when she woke up a need to break out of the suffocating fog of Taiga and thrummed to life inside her heart and head. She had kissed her momma and brother goodbye with the intent of returning, but as the chestnut overo girl dashed past her own borders, pale eyes full of wander and her companion flying low above her head she could not help the sting that sat low in her gut that she knew this would be one of the last times she passed carelessly across the Taigan lands.
With her face to the beating sun, her thick black lashes fluttering softly across pale blue eyes and pale, almost translucent, multi-hued blue stone hooves breaking ground beneath her leaving their mark she made her way towards the sweet smell of flowers, the heat of lava, and the crashing of waves.
She paced anxiously at the inner most edge of Tephra a mesmerizing lopsided smile just like her mothers, only adding to her beauty, accessorized the sparkling blue of her eyes. Taiga, with its giant trees, its soft bed of moss, and its suffocating fog couldn't hold a candle to this place. The beauty consumed her, that itch of wander gently scratched as she bounced from flower to flower the gentle and brilliant colors alike marking themselves upon her white, delicate wings. Pollen collected upon her face and nestled into the crevasses of her soft feathers.
