KAHLUA

There was one more stop on the queen's route before she went home. She had travelled north to the Basin and west to the Rotunda, now she traveled East to the Threshold. Anyone who had charted her path might wonder why she had taken such a roundabout trip. For the queen, it was all about time. The more she wasted time doubling back, turning around, passing the Edge again and again and again... The more she could escape the rigorous life that was expected of her. Truth be told, she had only been gone two days. Still... Kaj would be expecting her. They had positions and politics to talk, alliances to accept or reject, a backstabbing Seer to punish... Kahlua sighed. She had been so excited when the queendom had been gifted to her. Now she only felt like a prisoner in shackles, held inside of glass walls that did not want to let her free.

As she returned to the Threshold that she had grown to know and love- the Threshold she had been rather absent from as of late- the queen tried to let all of her troubles go. It was easy for her, in a way. She was a fool, so it was not too difficult for her brain to just drift off into some imagined world where she was both queen and happy at the same time. Could that dream become reality? Perhaps. So, with her heart lightened from some of her troubles, the queen set to humming herself a happy song.

After a time, the queen became thirsty and altered her course to head towards a stream of water that was well known to her. She knew these woods almost as well as she knew the Edge itself, after all. When she finally arrived, the queen was not surprised to find another soul gathered by the waters- especially considering the heat of the summer; however, the queen had rarely known anyone to lay beside the water here in the Threshold for fun. Also, though Resplendence had been able to teach her very little, the queen had come to learn that a laying horse was often not a healthy horse. With genuine concern etched on her face, the child queen nickered a friendly greeting and trotted towards the grounded buckskin, all thoughts of her own thirst temporarily forgotten. “Hello friend, are you alright? I'm Kahlua, can I help you?” As her dancing soprano filled the air, the queen finally halted near the mare, blue eyes settling upon the stranger as she waited for a response.


OOC| Probably not important to you Peak, but for anybody else- this is set before Aurelia challenged Kahlua :D
