Long tendrils of pastel colors danced across the open fields, illuminating the sky in a final finale before twilight. Yet not even the cheerful warmth of the sun could lift Gemma's spirits as she trudged, alone, in the forest, not caring where her feet lead her. Once or twice she stumbled, careless about where she placed her hooves. Yet it didn't matter.
Nothing seemed to matter anymore.
A small tear collected in the corner of one of her sightless eyes, and she bowed her head as darkness began to settle upon her form.
