Ingo had to bite his tongue, [i]Malon[/i] of all people even though she was but a child and her only gift was her way with the beasts of the ranch. Talon, felt many things, betrayed by his own brother right under his nose? Where did he go wrong? It was their parents who left the Ranch to him, he was the eldest but if his brother had spoken of his desire to run things he would have maybe listened were he around. Maybe this was for the best, Malon would have eventually inherited the ranch anyhow. The plump rancher hung his head and sighed "Ingo how could you betray your own flesh and blood."  the gangly man in his pajamas looked at his sibling for a moment pursed lips, weighing his words "I only did what had to be done Talon, I am sorry it had to be you but you are not suited to running this ranch.." [i]but a damn child is, hmph[/i] Ingo glared at his neice, she didn't know how to feel about any of this.

Malon didn't know this was the despicable low get uncle would take to get what he wanted, but also she felt like a great responsibility had been trusted upon her. She stood in silence, playing with her hair and looking to the ground.[hr]
[i]Mornings light is approaching,  day is breaking and the light though dim is beginning to shine. People in the village begin to go about their day and the cucco cries waking all from their slumber.[/i]
