The mare remained awake long after all the others were asleep. Staring up at the moon, she sighed, thinking of the many times she and Melben had looked up at that very same moon. Oh, how she longed to just howl her sorrow at that moon, and how she didn't dare. Her own grief was not worth waking the others over.

A shadow moved at her side. Startled, Eileen turned and saw her twin. Apparently not everyone was asleep. *I miss him, Paline,* she says softly.

Paline nuzzled her in a way that was the closest anything without arms could give a hug. *I know.* Eileen returned the "hug", and tears ran down her cheeks and fell to the soil below. Perhaps horses cannot weep, but unicorns are not horses. Paline let her sister cry and said nothing.

Soon Eileen ran out of tears, and both twins fell asleep beneath the light of the full moon.
