Rasa needs a new saddle and staples. My boy is growing. My brothers kept telling that me that he was a runt. What they do know! They have horses and a nosey cat. I must rather have my Rasa.
Oh, the Bright One came today.
There were much cheering among the people. The unicorns left due to the Master's invasion of their lands. Even if one returned, it has brought much hope. I believed that it is a false hope but…it is hope never the less. We need hope.
While the Bright One has returned to Daggeron's side, he seemed…different. I was never closed to the unicorn. So, I do not know if I am seeing things or it is a piece of my imagination. But there is something in his eyes…something in the way he stood, he seemed distant.
It was almost if…he was waiting for something or maybe someone-Catalina.
"What were the other unicorns like? Catalina said that they flee at the Master's attack. Was it true?" Chip asked.
The image of a field of other unicorns crossed his mind.
"So that is your home?"
Brightstar sent him the image of forest and of him. It kind of made him smile.
"Tell me about him," He said as he leaned against the tree.
Brightstar sent him a bright image of a black man dress in a yellow grab that he has seen during his research. He was the yellow mystic before him. He wondered what he is like. What he did before the war? Did he have a family? Did he have friends? What was his life like? He had a ton of questions and so few answers.
"What was he like?"
The images poured into his head. It was almost too quickly. He caught of the man laughing, talking, and playing a game with Haldar, using magic…a million little tasks. It almost made him ache.
"What was Zaria like?"
The image of a young woman with long black hair with some type of hair piece on her forehead flowed into his head. He remembered reading that she was some type of noblewoman.
"Was she a princess or something?"
Brightstar shook his head.
"A queen?"
The image of ruined castle filled his head. He saw a woman crying over the ruins. Poor Zaria. That image was replaced with another…this time, it was Catalina and Zaria practicing with a pair of staffs.
"Was she Catalina's student?"
Brightstar nodded his head. That was new. Catalina hasn't talked about it in her journal. Maybe, it happened before she started writing it? That was kind of interesting. It almost made him go and look through the library again.
"What was Diane like?"
It was the image of a female elf with long blonde hair. She was laughing with someone that he didn't know. Then another image flashed of her hovering over a book. She had the funniest expression on her face. She had her tongue sticking out as she worked. Another image of her on a horse appeared in his head. He almost laughed when the image of the horse stand around a little too long.
"Someone had a crush," He said with a laugh.
The image flicked away and Brightstar flashed an image of annoyance.
"Come on…she is kind of pretty for horse."
Brightstar stomped his hoof on the ground. He just smiled when Brightstar sent him an image of Vida.
"I know that!"
Then he sent an image of them kissing.
"Sneaky unicorn," He said with a grin.
Brightstar snorted at him.
-MFMFMF-
"They have grown close…those two," Snow Prince said as he watched them from a distance.
"Yes, they have," Daggeron said.
"You don't sound surprised."
"Chip is really good with horses even before he met Brightstar. It seemed to be a natural fit."
"We shall see. The boy has been asking questions."
"So has Nick," Daggeron pointed out.
He waved his hand in the air.
"Nick is easily distracted by other details. Chip, on the hand, is too driven toward to find out."
"Is that a bad thing?" Daggeron said with a sigh.
"I don't know. We shall see, won't we?"
