~ your soul of light, your wraith-like figure



"En sevgili çocuğum." Her mother's words filled her heart with joy as she spoke fondly to her. She lifted her delicate head as she looked on her new born sister. Her coat was dipped in the deepest of blacks with only a hint of white on her chin and a hint of silver at the end of her tail. Dark brown eyes looked upon her sister with excitement. She was finally a big sister and she could hardly contain her excitement. Then her little brow furrowed as she looked at her sister's two cloudy eyes. With a question on her lips she turned and looked up at her valide.

"Momma, why are her eyes like that?" she asked as she tilted her little head. Her mother reached down and bumped her lightly as her face grew serious. "We don't talk of your sister's eyes," she said sternly but it was only brief before she softens her face.

"There are those who would banish her and send her to the vast Sürgün," she paused, as her eyes flicked over her newborn daughter. "We must always protect her... She is a gift from Kayra."

She sputters and strikes out at the ocean's frigid grasp. She had just seen Rasheda out of the corner of her eye and now she is gone. A muffled cry escapes between her lips as another wave crashes down over her head; it drives her deeper beneath the ocean's turbulent surface. She can feel her strength fading, but she knows that Rasheda needs her so she kicks and strikes at the water's grasp. Finally she bursts through the surface, her eyes ringed with white and her nostrils flaring with exertion.

It seems like eternity before finally there is the distant roar of the ocean as it crashes headlong onto a sandy shore. Feebly she struggles against the waves until she can feel solid ground beneath her hooves. She stands on shaky legs. She lifts her delicately chiseled head higher on her neck as she takes in the shore that stretches out before her. The land was unlike anything she has ever seen before, just beyond the sandy shore grass grows abundantly.

She swivels her head down the shore and her eyes narrow as she searches for her sister. Her heart begins to thunder wildly against her ribs. Where was she?! She can feel the panic begin to rise in her throat. She forgets her fatigue and pushes herself from the surf and strides up the shoreline. She lifts her head higher as she strains to see further. A worried nicker fills the midnight air. She pauses at the water's surf and looks out at the vast ocean, only lit by a sliver of a silvery moon.

She rears back on her hind legs and strikes at the heavens as she screams her protest to the gods. "Su Ana, you will return her to me!" she yells into the air. She throws herself into a long legged gallop and thunders up the shoreline; she neighs with every stride until she finally pulls up, out of breath and white foam flicks across her shoulders. She pauses there beneath the moonlight, where it casts a silver hue to the world around her. And finally she whispers a prayer into the still night air.
