I didn't know I was lost - Solace - 04-15-2014 Things had changed. Solace could hardly regard the place he resided in as family. They were ruled by a kind Pegasus and a mad queen, the two didn’t go hand in hand. Where was the Merciful and the Opulent? Father Earth had traded over their home to a pack of wolves and it simply wasn’t right. Why did he bother staying if there was nothing there for him? Because things could get better, he told himself. Even if there was distrust and suspicion amongst their ranks, things definitely could get better. Solace also felt the temptation to return to his wandering ways and simply leave behind the rule of madmen. Just as the first time he had felt lost, he wandered to the ocean. Birdsong caused the day to be warm and his journey had been easier than it would’ve been in the midst of Frostfall. As he went his heart lightened as he embraced the freedom of the road. No one could make him stay, no one could bind him to that place. At the end of the day, Solace was a free man and could go where he pleased. Hadn’t his mother always told him since birth he was a wanderer? A long sigh passed from his lips as he stood on the sands of the shore, his eyes drifting out into the ocean. “I could always make a change happen,” he murmured to himself. Solace knew power could be seized by anyone, all they had to do was fight, but then again he had always fled from conflict never letting it catch up with him. This wouldn’t be an easy decision and he would have time to decipher whether to stake a claim, for the green draft never was one to crave power or leadership, he was content as the follower and servant. A sigh passed from his lips and he shook his head. “How could you forsaken my family Father Earth when we needed you most? What have these madmen done to deserve your favor?” He turned away from the shore and began to walk along slowly, his head hung low and an obvious aura of defeat hung over him with each step. @[Evangeline] RE: I didn't know I was lost - Evangeline - 04-27-2014
RE: I didn't know I was lost - Solace - 05-02-2014 Solace hadn’t expected company. He turned his head toward the stranger that had approached him and offered her a warm smile. “Hello!” He said back to her, his voice warm despite the heaviness on his mind. Good company perhaps could do something to remedy his heavy and somber mood. It would do him no good to dwell upon the negatives within his life when there were still many things to be grateful about. This mare seemed kind enough, civilized even, a pleasant change to the recent changes of those that resided in the land that once belonged to his family. For once he didn’t feel unsure of whether he was in the presence of a madman or killer, he felt safe and content. “I am Solace, of well, nowhere really,” he said looking at the mare with a dip of his head. It was then he had made his decision, there was nothing left for him at the falls but discord and madmen. They could burn down the land for all he cared at this point, solitary life would suit him best in the end. Wandering had always would be his way and it was time that he returned to such a lifestyle, for he was happiest on the road and there would be new faces to find out in the world. His eyes flicked up to the sky and his smile grew at the dragon above him. He looked over at the mare. “Is that your bonded up there?” Companions had once made the draft feel uneasy, but over time he had warmed up to the small animals presence. There was something intriguing about sharing your very mind and soul with an individual. Such a bond had to be precious and beyond sacred to those that had it. Well, of course there would be exceptions and he could imagine others violating the bond with their companion. @[Evangeline] RE: I didn't know I was lost - Evangeline - 05-03-2014
RE: I didn't know I was lost - Solace - 06-07-2014 “It is a pleasure to meet you both,” Solace said with a pleasurable smile on his face. He returned the dragon’s expression with a dip of his head and a good natured wink. Perhaps that would do nothing more than add fuel to his hatred, but the draft saw no harm in teasing the seemingly haughty creature. “The World’s Edge huh? I have always held respect for that herd and their ambitions.” Any place that strove for peace and equality was one that Solace could follow behind and appreciate. Though he had accepted he wasn’t intended for herds. A life of endless wandering and solitude was his path, and he had accepted it. He walked in step with the mare, his eyes drifting out to the ocean for but a moment. In that moment he found himself humming softly, a tune he had heard long ago, one which words he couldn’t remember. Though his gaze flickered back to the mare as she spoke of the reasoning behind her bonded’s behavior. “Someone attacked you because you because you have a companion? That sounds simply absurd, the nerve of some people.” Solace shook his head and snorted at the thought. “Such bonds should be revered, not detested. They are sacred gifts from the gods.” Despite the deep admiration for the bonds he sought none for his own. One of the many things that marked the draft as peculiar. He craved no magic nor the mystical bond forged through soul and mind. It was in the simple things he found his joy, not in power or prestige. “I always find the ocean an ideal place to come and clear my head,” He said, his gaze returning to the sea. “Something about the sound of waves and the consistent wind simply bring clarity and calmness. I find myself frequently wandering back here.” @[Evangeline] |
