A moment of silence [Hototo] - Midas - 11-15-2012 BEYOND HERE LIES NOTHING It was spine chilling cold, and early. The sky above him was a dark shade of blue, with a few lingering stars hanging on for dear life as evening began its fleeting retreat. Crunchy frost littered the ground and covered plants that had long since passed; the general admired this awful beauty and thought that he had emerged into a world full of crystal. Somehow, the air felt twice as cold when eyes lingered on the surrounding blanket of white. Its silent but deadly nature sent a shiver down his back, quivering the short feathers that took liberty to cling. Snow fell only a little overnight, its hard fluff lay caked up to a reasonable depth in certain low lying areas; but mostly the terrain was slippery ice. In a moment the sun would rise over the horizon. He could almost feel how it would bath body and land in weak warmth; because even pitiful head was better than none at all. Had another been in the field they might wonder why this fool of a man would be standing by, watching the horizon in this blistering cold; seemingly lost in his own world. Indeed, he was lost. Midas had awoken early to travel the meadow for prayer and meditation; he had many thoughts and very little understanding about how to deal with them. Problems circling the herd, his prodigy, friends, training, sparing, and…dare say…love. Normally, he would have traveled to the vein, to pray and seek holy guidance; but not today.

RE: A moment of silence [Hototo] - Midas - 11-23-2012 BEYOND HERE LIES NOTHING Meditation never lasted long, especially when one couldn’t find a quiet moment in his soul for such ventures. Belly was empty and mind was full—the wayward man closed eyes and tried in vain to tune out a busy world; but, all expended effort really seemed to do was create a headache. Gaze opened, just in time to see a smallish babe approaching from the side, head turned instinctively to study the stranger; this child couldn’t be much older than his little Cera, given the size and shape. Toddling beside the Pegasus was a bonded creature; one that Midas had grown familiar with, a few days prier. “Eytan—the little tail chaser,” his mind supplied the cubs title, while curious cherub drew closer, “Good morning,” the son of earth chirped politely, Midas smiled in response and dipped muzzle to a leveled position so the darker pits could meet his lighter hues, "I'm Hototo and this is Bear." “Well met Hototo,” he rumbled tenderly, “and little bear,” gaze traveled past them both for a moment before drifting attention to company at hand, “I’m Midas.” It seemed that Ktulu’s babe didn’t remember him, though that not all unusual; Hototo had been rather young during their travels, “You’re far from home Hototo, where is your mother, Ktulu?” RE: A moment of silence [Hototo] - Hototo - 11-24-2012
RE: A moment of silence [Hototo] - Midas - 11-26-2012 BEYOND HERE LIES NOTHING Ktulu’s demi god wasn’t far from his little avian age wise, but Hototo seemed to lack similarities in what Midas would call, ‘carefree childlike behavior’. Every foal was different, but his Cera would have been skipping up snow and dashing across the frozen meadow in gleeful happiness, obvious to a world of hate and bitter resentment, of love and heartache. Calmly that little voice replied, "She was sleeping when Bear and I snuck off. Mother always finds me, so you needn't worry.” One brow rose curiously and with sparking humor, though lips remained unmoving. All he could think was that, ‘now wasn’t the time to be wandering around the whole of Helovia’, danger could be lurking; but who could argue with a child blessed by his god? Earth lord would defend if the need came. Still pleasantly smiling with tender affection for his halfling friend, skull rose to full height with gaze following the rising sun just as warming orange bathed their land in hues of crimson, and tangerine. Environmental beauty squeezed a tired sigh from his chest, Midas had a brief moment of perfect calm before, “What is your relationship with my mother, Midas?" a sudden question seemingly birthed from the pits of nowhere. Surprised, he turned attention back to Hototo, ears pressed forward and mouth curved down into an unsure frown, “I would consider your mother to be a good friend,” orbs blinked once to clear shock lines from his features, body shifted weight and leaned muscular neck down to find leveled position with the colt, “An important friend to me.” |
