EPIONE
✯ — having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness
space
she hadn’t known about the fire until it was too late. she never head the warning of the pharaoh, nor the screams of panic. not until she was stuck.
a gryphon who couldn’t fly is the same as a horse with a broken leg. they were not destined to survive long. her wings had battered her sides desperately, trying to get air under them instead of smoke blowing out. while she bat the flames away, the force of her wings were not helping out it out.
the view was gorgeous, despite the life threatening situation. the orange flames licking everywhere around her. epione, caught in the flames. fearful clicks had escaped her beak as the fires had crawled closer.
she wanted her mother. her father. her brother. lucerys. she needed lucerys. but it was too dangerous for him to dive in headfirst for her. he was too self-sacrificing when it came to her. epione would rather burn than see a singe upon her brother’s royal feathers.
her heart beat wildly, pushing painfully against her as she had breathed for fresher air. smoke had swirled in her lungs, rasp coughs tearing at her throat as tears had swelled in her eyes. her limbs had tried to take her to every exit she could find, but fire had swallowed up her chances. the heat scorched her paw pads and her talons had tore at anything she could to get out.
epione was always weak. she could not fight, nor fly, and had lacked enough vision. she was the runt, not destined for survival. this was all too apparent now. where her brother could not reach her is where she could feel death’s hot breath against her neck.
she couldn’t stand this. with every second caught in the flames had brought her closer to the ground. her body had been flush to the hot floor, limp and tired. awake, but only sadly so. her wings still beat pitifully against her body, like a weakened butterfly who knew their time was up. the powder from their wings floating in the air, like little stars falling from their wings. had her wings leaked their stars?
