It was Stice who took the next steps forward, concern written all over his face. He could sense the sudden uprise of emotion, especially the depression that was overwhelmed his twin.. Even he didn't know what had all happened to her. The 'tell me everything' had struck something from her past.
Saphire's eyes slowly glassed over and welled up with liquid. No one had called her Saphy since she was a filly.. And as for what had happened... She didn't know where to start. With Ether, how she had begged him to destroy her..? Or with Hinote, and her never ending battle for his heart.. How she always managed to destroy herself by chasing shattered dreams.. Stice was lucky. He didn't remember anything from before the pine tree incident. But Saphire remembered it all. She remembered her parent's reunion in the fields, how they had looked at each other, she remembered how her brother used to act the part of the protective older sibling, but the tables had turned, and everything had fallen apart.. She was shielding them now, her father and brother, from what she knew they wouldn't be able to handle.
The little aqua mare walked toward her mother, looking much like a soldier waving the white flag, and marching sadly across No Man's Land. She stopped only a few feet before Frolic, and bowed her head to the ground as the tears finally fell free, marking the earth with their presence.
"We've fallen apart. Stice and I have been looking for you ever since your bonded released you both... I managed to find him... But you... We couldn't find you... Spin isn't okay.. I think he thinks you're dead..."
With a soft hiccup, she glanced up to her mother. Stice moved slowly forward, daring to settle his gaze on Frolic. He inched his way slowly closer to the being he had been drawn to ever since he was born. His muzzle reached sadly out to her shoulder... To see if she was real..
Saphire raised her head up more, eyeing her mother warily. Both the children could see the inner turmoil behind her eyes, and it made them uneasy. They could only remember their mother as being the stong one, always looking after the two of them. Which was occasionally a challenge, even they could admit. They weren't the easiest foals to rear. But she had changed now, Stice quirked a brow. She looked almost fragile.
"What happened to you?" The dark stallion asked, pulling away a bit to watch her reaction to the events that were playing out.
