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.
