Thump-thump. Thump-thump.

Her heart only beat faster when the rest looked at her, giving her casual smiles and confusing her with their explanations. One of them calmly brushed off her statement, while another shouted at her mom, Jun, and her to leave. Her panicked breathing was noticeable by the rapid movement of her chest, followed by her horrified expression. Visibly the small child was shaking, while her pupils shrunk and almost seemed to vibrate. Even with the comfort of Jun's wing wrapping around the foal, she was frightened. Then Rycaron spoke up. His voice worried her the most, with the way he addressed the others and how calm he seemed to be in a matter of dire situation. Near the end of it all she felt his eyes fall on her.

However, we can take in any children that wish to remain behind, and see they are taught more peaceful methods, integrating them into the main herd. They cannot be faulted for their parents sins, and know no better unless taught so.

It felt like they were peering into her soul, while he spoke so calmly of things she didn't quite understand, but she didn't like either. It made her uncomfortable, even fearful of him. How could he say something like that? She would never want to be separated from her mother... and her mother wasn't a traitor. All she was trying to do was do the right thing for everyone. Out of complete bewilderment, all she could do was stand there shaking, looking up at the hippocampus, Sage Rycaron.

"What?"

Her voice was quiet and surprised. Tears welled in her eyes, holding there as she looked at the strange man. Slowly she shook her head. No, what he was saying didn't seem right. Her ears stayed flattened against her head, while her hooves tapped lightly against the cold floor nervously. "No, no. My mom isn't bad, she's good. She's standing up for the ones who need help. You're the one who is bad." The sudden outburst caught herself off guard, but she continued. Just like her mother, she lifted a tentative hoof, placing it down to sound out a light click on the marble floor. For only a moment adrenaline coursed through the young child, allowing her to seem strong only for a moment, just before crumbling soon after. "I go where mommy goes... and.. I-I don't want to be here." Shaky, her voice was so shaky. Tears fell down the palomino's tiny cheeks, her eyes quickly turning downwards, away from the gaze of the looming Sage. The tensity in her shoulders lowered, slumping as she avoided looking at the hippocampus, before she slowly moved her head, visibly avoiding looking at Rycaron. He was scary, and she didn't like him. To suggest that she would live here and away from her mother wasn't okay in her mind. She looked towards her mother longingly, wanting to be by her side and feel her heartbeat and the warmth of her skin. All the child wanted was to be with her mother, but she was too frightened to move out from beneath Jun's wing. Mommy, her eyes pleaded, with tears slowly streaming down her face. I need you mommy. Her heart begged, but her voice disagreed with her, not letting a single sound out, and didn't even allow her jaw to open. It stayed locked shut.

I'm scared. Help me.
