trade in your darkness for the light
Posted on May 26, 2019 at 03:04:49 PM by evren

The recognition in her nephew's eyes sends a wave of joy through Evren. It doesn't matter that he doesn't move to greet her; with a cry of elation she steps forward for the both of them, closing the distance to press her head and neck against his. He is so tall now, so muscular, and with a stallion's scent, he smells and feels like a stranger. Yet when Evren pulls away she can still see the little colt in his face: the Tarek she knows and loves. Her family has been so fractured for years that to see him now brings tears to her eyes.

"Look at you!" she fawns over him, looking him up and down with exaggerated wonder. "What a strapping young stallion you've become!" A grin is plastered on her face as she looks back to Persephone. "Tarek is my nephew. I haven�t seen him since he was a tiny little thing.�

Looking back to Tarek, she asks, "What are you doing here? And who is this?" Still smiling, she eyes the heavily pregnant mare behind Tarek, just as the mare moves forward and asks to be excused. The grin falters on Evren's lips. She can see now how uncomfortable and untouched by their joy the mare is. Evren's eyes drop to her swollen belly in curiosity, and though it may just be Evren�s imagination, she sees a subtle ripple of tension pass through the mare's abdomen. Realization dawns on her, and suddenly the joy of the reunion is gone as her brain shifts into business mode.

"Are you all right? Do you need someone to guide you?" she asks the mare with a concerned expression, then looks meaningfully to Persephone, to see what she will suggest.
