[Evangeline]

You see her when you close your eyes Maybe one day you'll understand why It had been many years since Evangeline had felt the burning sting if loneliness. As far back as she could remember Tallis had been with her, anchored in her mind and her heart, but their bond had been severed the minute they'd abandoned Helovia and entered Novus. His departure had been sudden and unexpected and the copper mare had chased after him, calling for him in vain. In the weeks that followed she had searched for him with no  luck before finally accepting that he was gone and she was alone. The more time Eva spent alone the more she realized just how much she had cherished the bonds she'd forged within Helovia's borders, regardless of the anger and disappointment she'd often felt toward them. What she wouldn't give just to see one familiar face again, or hear a familiar voice... "Not again." Evangeline's head jerked upward, her emerald eyes widening as they searched the sea of green grass that surrounded her because she knew that voice. It was more mature, but she knew it and she had to find the girl it belonged to. "Maude!" She called the girl's name when she spotted her standing alone and staring at the ground. Her posture and the waver in her voice were not promising, but the copper mare couldn't help but feel a surge of hope. If Maude was here then Tilney had to be here, too. She coldn't ever remember the stallion letting his daughter out of his sight for long.  "Maude!" She called again as she moved swiftly toward the girl. My, she had grown. "Are you okay? How did you get here? When? Where's your father? Is he here, too?" She realized she was speaking too quickly, asking too many questions and so she forced herself to stop and when she did she finally allowed herself to take in just how upset she appeared. "You'll be okay." She spoke again, her voice as reassuring as she could possibly make it.  "."
