[P r o m i s e]

An innocent life born into the mortal realm. A life that was too perfect for the mortal plane, cast into Asphodel to await judgement. An innocent life was what this little girl was, but was she truly that perfect? After all, she was the stillborn daughter of the Queen of the Underworld. How would the judgement phase go? Would she be swept away to Utopia where dwell the light at heart, or would she be swept away by her mother. I will find you in the afterlife, my little Metztli. She could still hear her mother's words as her life had started to fade from her mortal body. She could still feel the touch of her mother's tongue on her cheek in a gentle caress. Would she ever feel that touch again? She didn't know, but deep down she hoped. She didn't care where her mother dwelled, as long as she kept true to her words and came to find her.

The gray landscape of Asphodel came into view as the newborn filly opened her eyes and felt her chest rise and fall with a breath that had only happened twice before her life had faded from her mortal vessel. Sapphire voids blinked a few times, almost hoping that some color would come to her surroundings, but still found none. The only color that lay within the confines of Asphodel was the colors that were bestowed upon her own body. The bay sabino splash filly took her first steps in Asphodel. Her first steps after having been born. It would be a pity if her mother hadn't seen it, but that is sometimes what happens in life. You live, or you die. Sometimes, you live for a few years then you die, other times, you never get to know the cruelness of the mortal realm, and you just get to know the confines of the afterlife.

A few shaky steps were all that she managed before she fell to the hard ground beneath her. However, that didn't stop her as she stood up on wobbly legs again and took more steps. Though, this time she managed to catch her balance and stayed standing. Mama? She squeaked out, still getting accustomed to her own voice. She had a feeling her mother would hear her call.

notes A mother and child reunion. :3

[Roman]

The Underworlds Lady was determined to meet her daughter in the afterlife before that Utopian wretch whisked her away, no blood of hers would ever call Utopia home, not while Teca is Lady of the Underworld. Should a child of hers stray to Utopia's side then Teca would end them herself if they were a lost cause, Teca will not allow treason from her own family to go unpunished. First the blood and bone mistress had to find a safe home for her living son, a cambion that would serve as a gift to strengthen her ties with the Helkaer, Yvette being the one Teca had promised help in making cambions for their cause, to Nemesis who took the boy in. Mictlantecuhtli, son of Grimvar, better bring glory to their family and make the Helkaer glad they have received a child from the Underworld's Lady. Teca did wonder how her son will grow up beside the daughter of Xerxes, will they grow as brother and sister, as rivals or friends? It didn't matter in the end, as long as Micky grew strong and made them all proud.

Feathered appendages carried the Lady's curvy frame across the lands and into Asphodel, ruby eyes scanning for the small frame of a foal that she left the mortal physical form of in the Freelands. Slowly Teca could feel the bond between herself and her stillborn getting stronger, a telling sign that Metztli has now arrived and Mictecacihuatl was getting closer to finding her. With how dreary this place is, Teca knew that it wouldn't be hard to spot the bright bay filly, which was good for her but also made Metztli more visible to the enemy. Up ahead the woman could see movement and the beating of her wings began to lessen as Teca watched the figure carefully, a small child that was struggling to stand then managed to take a few steps before collapsing. As Mictecacihuatl got closer a smile curved her ivory lips as she watched her daughter find her feet again, this time managing to stay standing, Metz's young voice then called out to her, "Mama?".

Slowly Teca began her descent from the sky, spiralling down until a few beats of her wings brought her gently to the ground on all fours. With a sway to her step, Mictecaichuatl moved through the frozen forest toward her child, a gentle whinny making her presence known. The Underworlds Lady has all intention of bringing her newest daughter home to the Underworld, though she did wonder if the child had the determination to become one of the deadly sins, to live and breathe chaos or if the child was best to be taken by the Mist. While Mictecacihuatl had found herself to be rather maternal, the Underworld is also like a child of hers that she wanted to see grow and blossom into wonderful chaos, she could not risk weakening it or creating enemies to go against it from her own womb. "I have come, Metztli. Are you ready to come home with me to see your sister and train to become a bringer of chaos, to discover which of the deadly sins makes your heart sing?," Teca cooed, touching her muzzle to the fluff on top of the fillies head, a gesture of love that may be the last, if her child did not have the will to embrace the darkness that Teca knew is in her.

[P r o m i s e]

A darkened shadow flittered across the gray landscape as Metztli had called out for her mother. She wasn't sure who or what it was, but she had a feeling she was about to found out. A whinny sounded out almost seeming to echo across the gray expanse. A sound that sounded and felt so familiar to the young filly. An answering whinny escaped her vocal chords in response, a sign that the filly knew who the voice belonged to. Her mother. She had actually come for her, and Metztli couldn't have been more excited about it. I have come Metztli. Are you ready to come home with me to see your sister and train to become a bringer of chaos, to discover which of the deadly sins makes your heart sing?

The familiar voice of her mother reached her ears, and she glanced straight at her with blue voids. Mama! She squeaked once more and moved closer to her. She felt her mother's muzzle touch the fluff on top of her head and she nuzzled close to her mother. I am ready to go home, mama. I will do my best to make you proud, she answered in response to her mother's inquiry. At this precise moment in time, she was just excited to be back in her mother's presence and was definitely ready to go home with her.

"Mama!", the small filly had greeted her mother as the Underworlds lady drew closer to her offspring, the child's bright blue eyes plastered to her form. Metztli nuzzled in close as Teca offered her child some motherly affection, their bond slowly growing with each passing second, a bond that would soon be made stronger through sin. The child didn't question Teca's words and didn't shy from what will soon be expected of her, a promising sign that Metz will follow in the hoof steps of her mother. "I am ready to go home, mama. I will do my best to make you proud", the bay filly squeaked, very eager to go home to her final resting place, one that may not be as beautiful as the mortal realm or Utopia, but had it's very own unique form of beauty. Having not even seen the mortal realm, Metztli wouldn't know anything else other than Asphodel and the Underworld, so maybe either of these places will leave their mark on her and all else wouldn't come close to the idea of beauty the child will have.

Slender limbs carried the elegant woman away from her child as Teca moved in the direction of the Underworld, stopping a few lengths ahead as she curved her nape to the left, her ruby eyes landing on the small frame of Metz. "Come my child, the Underworlds awaits," Teca beckoned as she watched a set of feathered wings sprout from the filly's sides, a sign that the Underworld had accepted Metztli into the fold. A wicked grin curved the Lady's lips, pleased that even as fresh as her daughter is, there was already a spark within her that the Underworld accepted. "First, you will meet Quetzalli, your sister, and then training will begin," the decorated Lady finished as the grin faded from her velvets. War is on the horizon, Teca could feel it with each passing day that Nehemiah was locked away in the Underworld, it is unlikely that Rasa would allow the Underworld's slight against her to go unanswered. Teca knew little of Rasa and the lengths she would or wouldn't go to for her Lords, even if this one is as new as she is, but as she had been informed, Rasa has been through many lords during her time as Lady. Would the Utopian woman finally put her hoof down, fed up with her losses or would she just let him go and move on to another? With a shake of her decorated head, Teca motioned for Metz to follow before spreading her wings and taking off, looking back only once to make sure her daughter was following.

Timeline: Underworld has Nehemiah, just before Rasa kidnaps Xerxes children

[P r o m i s e]

Gaze swept over the landscape of Asphodel one last time as her mother moved a few lengths away from her. Come my child, the Underworld awaits. At her mother's words, a soft snort escaped Metztli's slightly flared nares towards the first land that she had ever laid eyes on, before she moved into a prance after her mother. As she pranced towards her mother, feathered wings sprouted from her sides, and she couldn't help but glance at them in awe. She took a few moments to get accustomed to them as she spread them out and folded them to her sides and then spread them out once more. It was a weird feeling, but one that she knew she would get used to with time. Her gaze moved back towards her mother's as she caught the wicked grin that curved the Lady of the Underworld's lips.

First, you will meet Quetzalli, your sister, and then training will begin. She heard her mother say and she nodded her small tiara in understanding. Okay, mama, she mused in response. She was excited to meet her sister but was also slightly excited to start training. She wondered how the training would go. Metztli noticed the motion of her mother's tiara as she made a swift motion for the young filly to follow. As her mother's wings spread and she took off, Metztli moved into a slow but elegant gallop as her own wings spread out and her hooves were no longer touching the ground. It was an unusual feeling to not be touching the ground, but it made her even more excited to be able to fly. Her wings flapped as she attempted to catch up to her mother. She refused to glance back at the gray world that she had known, excited for a better view.
