one light dims, one brightens - Orion - 07-06-2018
ORION
exiled prince
The world was a cruel place, wasn't it? One light comes in, one is snuffed out.
The guilt weighed heavily on Orion, on the fact that he had caused it. Rigel was supposed to raise the child with him, they had smiled and laughed about it. Orion had been excited, so excited... but Rigel.. he hadn't made it. Strength had been sapped from him day after day, until finally, one day, he could not wake up. He would not. The small foal in question was partially asleep against his legs, small and tucked up against him, not understanding the wake of the small and private funeral held for Rigel.
Orion had told no one, and had shouldered the burden on his own, allowing it to sit on his back and weigh his horned head down. It was a burden that would stick him with guilt every chance it got, he knew that much.
Still, he did not expect company, and it showed as his head turned and he blinked milky eyes at the regent. "Po..." It was nice to see a friendly face after... everything. After the weight of the Summit, after the death of his friend, and the new responsibility of the foal.

Pyx coming right up!
RE: one light dims, one brightens - Pyxis - 07-06-2018
PYXIS
A GENTLE SOUL
He didn't... understand. Pyxis was far too young to know why his father was burying the one that gave birth to him, or why the one that gave birth hadn't woken up. So the tiny kirin only asked why, and his father gave a response, something along the lines of lights and darkness, and he still didn't understand.
It had been a long day though, and he was still a small and sickly thing, curling up to his father's legs as he tucked up to rest, closing his eyes and beginning to breathe steady and even.
Even so, he heard the rumble of his father's voice, and lavender eyes blinked slowly, his head lifting, the nubs of antlers covered with soft streaks of hair, scales shimmering as he moved himself to stand. Rather than ask his father, he turned himself, letting out a soft squeak at the figure of a large horse (though everyone was larger than him).
"W-who...?" The word stammered from his mouth, and he blinked as he squinted a little. The sun was going down slowly, and already, his vision was getting bad. He could barely see in the shadows now at this time of day... he was just glad for the sunlight still out, so he could see the face of the bigger horse.
