"Wait for me!"
Vras' tiny hooves kicked up dirt and rocks as she raced after Nemeon. She was determined not to be left behind this time.
"I promise I'll be quiet! Please let me come!"
Nemon grinned, easy going despite the sense of pride that was swelling inside of him. He was finally going to go with his father into the Charred Plains themselves to hunt. The young stallion, barely past his first year was brimming with excitement. But even distracted by his own adventure, he couldn't forget little Vras.
"You have to get permission from Scatha first. She didn't say you could go, I'm afraid"
"She doesn't have to know!"
Nemeon shook his head; Scatha always knew. But Vras was too little to know that.
He could remember when she was left with their clan, her horns too little to even show. Scatha and Malacath welcomed any new members and the boss mare treated Vras almost like her own, alongside the founding filly, Sokali. The three of them were close enough in age that they were often left together and Nemeon had developed a soft spot for the two young fillies.
"If she finds out, she'll turn you over to Hannibal."
Vras puffed out her chest, "No she won't!"
"Yes she will, or she'll let The Moribund snatch you up and they'll eat you."
Deflating a bit, Vras gasped, wide eyed.
"Really?"
Nemeon felt a little bad. But it's what his father always said: The Moribund would eat them up if they were caught.
"Well," he turned, his head low so he could lean in close, "I guess all of that will happen only if you get caught."
Vras' eyes lit up and she bounced lightly in place.
"So I can come?"
"You can come along until I meet up with my dad, yeah. But then you have to go back to the stronghold. I'll bring you back a present though!"
He hoped that would placate her. She paused to mull the idea over, before nodding with surety.
"Ok. Deal."

Artist Notes: I know this is stupid to upload a foal prompt right after I posted her ref to be approved, but it's been so, so long since I've felt inspired to do a full picture-- even a sketchy one like this. I'm loving my Horse Orcs so much and their stories are becoming very important to me. Super thanks to Willow, who lets me steal her characters with reckless abandon! These two are so fun to write and draw and I'm excited to show them off more!
