Femora pauses before turning, that she may get the pain out of her face before the others see it. Soaring down from her high altitude, she lands beside Stovati.

Farhan follows, wishing to hear the stranger's response.

After a moment, the winged filly speaks: "My kind? My people? No. The only blackblood other than myself I've ever met was my twin brother, Sombra, who chose the blackblood ways and left when we were foals. You speak of the destruct of the alliance." At this point her voice begins to crack. "Destroy the ones I've known and loved all my life? Let me tell you a story.

"Three years ago, a strange creature came to the territory of Rainmaker Silverwoods. He was a black beast, a stallion, with batlike wings and claws rather than hooves. A carnivore's fangs took the place of a grazer's flat teeth. His name was unknown to those this story concerns then, and still it is thus. He abducted two mares, raped one. The one raped was called *Raya; the one who was not, went by the name of Almase."

Farhan gasps, recognizing the name.

Mulan continues: "There was another who dwelled in Rainmaker Silverwoods with the two, and his name was Midnight In Montgomery. With Almase, who had been left in a separate territory than the one the rape was committed in, they rescued *Raya, but by then it was too late. *Raya was pregnant.

"9 months later, *Raya gave birth to not one, but two foals: one colt by the name of Sombra, and the other, a filly called Mulan." The stranger takes a deep breath, then states: "That filly was me.

"Even at a very young age, Sombra and I had very different personality. I was forever chasing after butterflies, and he surveyed the world through eyes that held fire, yet his gaze was cold all the same. He discovered his blackblood heritage before me, and chose it over the silverbloods he lived with. He attempted to make me do the same, once I dashed my knee on a rock to discover my bloodtype, but I refused. He left.

"3 years later, two pegasus mares by the names of Bayda and Dirayat" [another gasp from Farhan] "came to Mount Camaron, where we now lived. They bore news of a blackblood alliance forming. In retaliation, a silverblood alliance was formed. Fearing that the blackbloods could get at those involved in the alliance through me -- particularly Sombra -- I then left. That's when I came here to tell you about the alliance.

"So there you have it: the story of me. I hope that answers all your questions."

Farhan considers Mulan and her stranger for a moment. Then: "Well, whatever else you are, you're an excellent actress."

Mulan stares at him for a moment levelly, unable to speak. At last, she says: "So you think I'm a liar. Very well then. Just waste your own time as well as the time of the silverbloods in Mount Camaron, even though time is extremely precious in these situations. Risk something happening. I'll just go back to my planned life as an exile. Goodbye." She turns to go...
