~ she brings light to everyone around her.

"Hide her away Najaat! Hızlı! their mother had hissed. She did not understand why mother wanted her gone. All she knew was she had meant her words and then there was the comforting touch of her sister's muzzle on her shoulder as she pushed her away from their mother. Their hooves had shuffled through the sand and she felt the sweltering sun as it beat down on them. "Najaat.. Where are we going?" she whined at her sister. The yearling filly stopped dead in her tracks and wouldn't take another step until her older sister told her where they were going.

"Why do you have to be so stubborn Rah!?" Najaat huffed as she stomped her hoof into the sand. Rahasheda, honestly didn't know but she did like when she annoyed her older sister, as a smile traced across her pink lips. "Just so you know... I am only going because mother told me to," she snorted as she allowed her sister to continue to guide her into the desert.

"Najaat!" she screams into the darkness. She strains against the sound of the crashing water just to hear the sound of her sister. A fearful nicker explodes from her lips as she desperately strikes out against the ocean's grasp. She can feel the frigid water as it prods and pokes at her skin and she wishes it all to stop. She wishes for the feeling of solid ground beneath her hooves and the warmth of the searing sun on her back.

But now all she feels is the press of the darkness and this never ending night. She opens her mouth to scream again, but this time salt water rushes into her opened lips. She gurgles and spits with disgust. "Curse you!" she yells into the midnight air.

She struggles against the ocean until finally the distant sound of the surf crashing against a sandy shore gives her hope. With every ounce of strength left, she slices through the water until her hooves find purchase in the sand. She stumbles through the surf. Her nostrils flare as she desperately sucks air into her heaving lungs. She just stands there within the surf as it pulls at her legs and froths around her ankles.

She stands beneath the midnight sky; her coat has dark as the inky night sky overhead. She raises her head higher onto her arching neck as her nostrils breath in the plethora of scents that assault her. The aroma of grass, the pungent scent of her wet coat, and the faint scent of others who had come to these shores before her floods her nostrils. She swivels her delicate head atop her neck and her sightless milky eyes are a sharp contrast against her inky skin. Her lithe figure moves gracefully from the surf and onto the hardened sand.

She pauses a moment and shakes the excess water from her sleek skin. She can feel the fear bubble into her chest as the realization begins to sink in. Her sister's scent was not on this shore, nor was it anywhere near here. She swallows the growing lump in her throat and presses further into this alien world. She moves with careful steps and her hooves feel the hardened earth beneath them with each stride. Branches reach down with their bare branches to grasp at the onyx tendrils of her mane and press their sharp fingers into her delicate skin.

A dull roar echoes through the forest around her and her ears draw together in full attention. The sweet aroma of fresh water causes her nostrils to quiver and it beckons her closer. She moves cautiously forward, her delicate head swivels atop her neck and her nostrils test the cool night air. She does not slow until she feels the cool waters lap at her fetlocks and there she pauses. She is alone beneath the blanket of sparkling stars and a deep purple midnight sky.
