Found Family

The yearling, despite how her uncle and mother had last fought, was relieved to see a familiar face as Ulric came towards her. She may not have fully understood the reasoning for the fight but she didn't fault him alone... and she moved closer, pressing her head against his chest as her body gave a small shudder. Both of them had fought, and Memento had known for a while her mother had not been completely well. Maybe the fault had been her mother's... either way she didn't know. What she did know was that Philomena had left... just as her father, Pegasus had.

"Mom... I don't think she's coming back." Her words were heartbroken, spoken softly as she kept close. Her ears remained pinned against her skull as the tears kept coming. "She stopped reallly talking after you guys fought... and then one night she just... up and left. I tried to follow her but... I..." Meme closed her eyes tight.

"She's been hurting for a long time..." Memento said softly. "I always tried to cheer her up, dad and I even decorated the den with flowers... but..." She whimpered, drawing back to look at Ulric.

"I don't know what to do. I don't know how to tell grandmaw, or dad..." She whimpered. "Or even how to get home..." She lowered her gaze. "What do I do...?" She could feel the tears still running down her cheeks as she whimpered out the question.
