Frost was misbehaving as I led her onto our wooded trail. She seemed to be able to tell something was off, but I couldn't place it. We continued on until a reek came floating from our left. Mold, and bile was all I could think of as the smell got stronger. I gagged multiple times. Soon, the trail got darker and I could see something right next to the road. I make Frost walk on even though she shook her head. Eventually, she stopped in her tracks prancing in place. I dismounted and walked forward. Her reins pulled taught as I came up to find a body. It was an animal though all mangled, and rotten.
It looked like it had been mauled.
I walk back to Frost, shuddering as I climbed back into her saddle. I allow her to walk her own way. Eventually I spot a deer wandering, and nock one of my arrows. I have to settle my shoulders, before releasing the arrow. It lands true, and the deer runs a few yards before landing in a pile of brush. I grab the rope tied to Frost's saddle as I make my way over tying its legs before dragging it back on the rest of the looped trail.
I dismount, and Fuyumi and Natsuo head outside. Hours had passed, and it had only felt like moments in those woods. I notice how upset my siblings look as Natsuo grabs Frost and leads her away. Fuyumi starts on the deer.
I wish I could say something, but even though we love each other as siblings- There is nothing I could say to them after the loss of mother, and father choosing me as his heir. I can't remember much of Toya, but I always thought he would be king instead of me one day. Who would have thought this is how it would end up?
Toya? Dead.
Mother? Enslaved.
Me? The heir to a throne that doesn't exist.
