PERSEPHONE

It was a difficult journey to Luthien, but Persephone was as patient and kind as she could be. She offered gentle encouragement, and took the shallowest, calmest route that she knew through the waters. Occasionally Creed clung to her side like a child, but in a strange way Persephone almost enjoyed it. It had been some time since anyone had reached out to her for comfort in that way.

She watched with intrigue for the girl’s reaction, as her question hung in the air for a moment. Her lips wrinkled in a smile at Creed’s response. If she was joking the journey couldn’t have bee that traumatic, at least.

“A good start,” Persephone agreed, as she turned to lead her companion towards the Forest.

At Creed’s gasp, she turned to look at the young mare, her smile spreading into a grin. Persephone had always taken pride in her home, and it felt good to share it with someone new again.

“I’m so glad you think so,” she replied, leading the way into the trees where they began to thicken. “Why don’t I show you around a little?”

She lead the way into the shadows, hopefully with Creed agreeing to follow her. After a few moments she turned her head to the other mare, tilting it slightly.

“What sort of a place did you live in back home?”
