"Run! Keep running!"
I did as Mother said. I was scared and cold and confused, but I kept running as fast as my legs could go. One of my wings was damaged and my feet were frozen from the snow and ice.
I heard her trip and turned my head back.
"NO! Don't turn back. Keep going. Go to the crystal cave. I'll meet you there."
She gave me a smile and I knew she would find me. I nodded and turned to run. I wouldn't cry. Blood running down my wing and leg, but would NOT cry.
It wasn't long before I reached our secret meeting place. It was, however, past nightfall before my mother came into the cave. She looked bad. Torn, beaten, bloody. I knew she wouldn't last long without healer.
"Mother..."
"Shhhh. Come. I have to protect you."
She lead me to the far back of the large cave and then through a small tunnel. She placed me against the back wall and smiled.
"You will be safe here. For as long as takes for the danger to pass."
I didn't even get to say goodbye before she cast a freezing spell. All I knew was I would never see her again. It would be 2,000 years before the ice melted enough to reveal my hiding place. And when it was everything I knew would be gone leaving only a strange world I would have to become a part of...or die in.
