Ch1
The fist weeks of Broken's life was cruel and dark. She was born in a labor camp, they were driven hard and long, with little or no clean water. Being young, she could do so less than the older NeoPets, the owner thought twice on killing the useless babe. But luck was with her, until she was 5 months old.

Her 'master' -known to others as the "Dark One"- realized he made a bad decision. Up until then, he had not notice that Broken's right front leg was deformed; her knee and hoof was gone.

~Get out of me sight, or I'll chop your head off, Uni!~

~Please, sir, let me stay. I can work like the others. Watch, I'll do better!~

Days, weeks, and months became years; Broken Flight was driven hard by the Dark One. Slowly, ever so slowly, the feathers on her left wing fell and her horn was chipping and cracking. Broken did not care, she only wanted to be alive, even in the labor camp.

Broken Flight's life was very lonely; she kept to herself, not wanting others to be whipped if they got near her. Though they didn't give much of a thought of it. Never had a kind eye fell upon her, no one liked the young mare. All hated her, for they believed that Broken was incomplete and bad luck. At times Broken Flight thought that true. But that wasn't true, what made it wrong was that Broken Flight was the only one who never felt the bitter pain of the whip.

All this changed one day, when a new Uni was brought to the camp. He was a handsome young blue Uni, tall and clever looking. But, alas, he was weak as a new-born! The blue Uni wouldn't last very long, that is, if he hadn't fall in love with Broken Flight.

She helped him when ever she could. And he helped her when ever she lost balance. Or when she needed something that was not in reach because of her bad wing and foreleg, he would get it. Soon, they were the best of friends, and no one could tare them apart.

~I love you, my Aletta. Never leave me, I don't know what I'll do without you.~

~And I you. I would have been dead now if you hadn't been sent here.~ Broken Flight sighs into the blue Uni's side. ~Love can be found in odd places~

They had a strong bond between them; they could sense the other's stress and sorrows. Together Broken and her lover lived, alone in the harsh times. One day, on the Blue Uni's fifth month there, something changed. The Dark One had stopped whipping his work-slaves, and with their lives, he threaten them. If anyone at all displeased him, their life he took.

The two lovers were already hated by their master, so they had to work harder than the rest. But that extra stress on them wasn't good, mostly to the blue Uni. He began to grow sluggish and clumsy. Broken Flight tried her best to help him, but to no avail. The Dark One's eyes fell upon the blue Uni.

No one is sure what had happened the next day. Was it an act of the gods, or just luck, no one knew. But what they found that, dark, cold, and foggy morning was astounding. The walls everywhere had fallen, and the earth seemed to hum with happiness. Nowhere could the Unis and the other few Pets find their cruel master. He was gone! Finally they were free. Though, where was the blue Uni?

At the missing of his heat, Broken Flight woke with a start at the early dins of the just freed creatures. She looked all over her empty stall and found no trace of the lovely beast, her friend. It was as if he had vanished with the moon that very night, for it, too, was gone. Then it slowly dawned on her that the master was also absent.

Her heart ached as she trotted around the dismantled camp and found still no trace of her beloved. Didn't he told her not to leave him, and now is missing? How could that be; why did he go? And where was she to go, now that her chains had been broken, so to speak? She hated people and no one else ever tried to be hospitable towards her. Her time was waisted here, so she couldn't just leave with anyone. In fact they left her behind in the shadows of their terrible past.

Ch2

For days Broken Flight wandered alone through the surrounding forest. She would have gone insane from the solitude, but noisy chattering of birds and small rodents made it bearable. Half the time, she thought something was following her, but when she looked and listen, there was nothing. Perhaps she was just jittery from being in a completely different setting. That must be it.

On her third night of traveling, she found a soft bed of fallen leaves and decided to rest there. Under the still moonless night where that stars shone their brightest, she slept and dreamt the whole night. But that dream was odd, and to this day, it still baffles her.

The air was clod and hostile. She dreamed herself running from the cold, running at break-neck speed and getting nowhere. She kept running despite it all and soon found herself in darkness and the cold fog. The darkness was about o swallow her completely, when a light appeared behind her. It was a great light and glowed like the moon. Oddly enough, the light took shape of a beast and started to charge at Broken Flight.

She bolted off, running once more into the darkness, the unknown. She looked back at the shape of light and its form had changed again. This time its features were more subtle and kinder; it looked like a Uni. Not just any Uni, but that of her long lost lover. She had to stop the foolish running and see who it was floating after her.
