Kari

For a long while he opted only to carry the supplements Alija had offered. The thought to eat them was tempting indeed, he was awfully hungry- peppermint, angel....a, something about lions, the weeds certainly smelled better than the wiry grass tussocks dotted throughout this desert. Saliva began to pool in his mouth, and his tongue fondled the tart wilting stems wedged between his young white teeth. Kari’s weary wings rustled by his flanks and hot air brushed by sweat-sodden skin as they walked, ambled along.

He drew another breath, concentration furrowing his meek features. Excellent... The elusive oasis. Still, he remained fairly sceptical; her eyes held apprehension that he couldn’t help but assume was related to this journey across the baked land, it was hard for him to take one so colourful seriously- like she epitomised nonsense. Deep, brooding blue pools looked carefully at her turned badger face, noting the smile with another half-curled one of his own. Carry me? “No...” Truthfully though, Kari could think of no idea better. His feeble knees trembled beneath the mass of his scrawny body, aching for respite, and the revoltingly hot sand exaggerated his discomfort enormously.

Alija assured him that their target lay in the direction she was taking them, and he nodded soberly, accepting finally that there was a chance she knew better. Perhaps. Before she turned away again however, Kari noticed the trinket caught up in her antlers, and his fine skull cocked to the side as he considered it. “What’s that? he asked without gesturing towards it. His eyes were trained to it though, betraying the focal point of his interest. The little colt had never seen a pendent like it, the symbol anyway, and he broke into a stumbling trot (rocks were scattered all across the desert, and Kari wasn’t minding his step) to view it better from the mare’s wingless side.

“Did you know... Shadow gave me an amulet, kinda like that. She told me that it held the fiery blood of the God of this place.” He told her in a matter of fact way, gazing ahead aimlessly, suddenly, with pricked ears (his shifting attitude resembled a being much older than the skin and bones his body portrayed). “She has a horn as well. She took it from an evil Unicorn...” he paused abruptly, but didn’t look at her. She’s a Unicorn too y’know... Kari didn’t apologise, and said nothing more about it.
