MIDAS
Feeling like a fool for trying. I don't even remember why I've wasted all these tears on youI stepped from the confined cage that was my home. The broken wall called for attention, called for attendance. It was a personal goal to have it finished before the rising of next Tallsun. Alas, progress thus far had been slow. Said wall stretched beyond, as far out as the eye could see. My gaze trailed the stones only for a moment, then hastily tore toward the distant hills. Feet drove a path across the slopping earth, and sand faded to dry and coarse flora. I met the hot afternoon sun with a twitching grin just barely creasing the corners of my lips, it felt warm and good across my two-toned back. There had been few reasons to smile of late, but at least one could still enjoy the blessings of a bright morning. Fina called out, she had gone off a little ways ahead to hunt. I approached her location and noted that the orange bird was perched upon earth, talons astride a rather large desert hare. Sharpened beak had already tore most of the flesh from its quarters, I didn’t flinch from the gory sight. She smiled in my mind and jokingly offered me a bite. Grinning back, I firmly counseled a wise nay. Fina shrugged and went about her business of shredding meat into bite size pieces—all the while keeping her flaming feathers free of bloody muck. Nasty business, hunting. I was thankful that our species didn’t have munch on things that had previously carried a heartbeat. . |
