[sorry for super weird post D: Kou first!]

Fly away little bluebird, fly away high.
Fly away little bluebird, you own the sky.

So the bluebird flew.

He flew and he flew and he flew with his shadow chasing him below and the sky a silent ocean above. He flew and he flew and he flew merely because. The sun had reigned long and the sun had reigned strong, but now with the bite of cold in the air the jay felt a lift in his despair. No longer grounded or damp with sweat, he sung to the clouds of all his regrets.

Sing as he may, song as he might, this little jay was never quite right.
He lay down to sleep but he'd always make a peep. A scream and a shriek and a blood-curdling howl. This is the way you sleep when your heart is foul. Dreams and reality are one and the same, and little by little, it drives you insane.

So fly away little bluebird, fly into the night.
So fly away little bluebird, see if you can outrun your plight.


But he couldn't.

It didn't matter where he went, everything came with him. If he flew fast his heart broke faster. If he flew hard his memories hounded him harder.

In this state the blue gelding arrived in the Deep Forest. In the hour of dusk his sight was poor. In a state of sleepless unrest his clarity was fuzzy. Nearly crashing through the trees with fatigue and visual duress Jaydan wobbled through the forest like a ping pong ball striking the paddles that were the rooted trees.

At some point he started to sleep. As much as someone like him can sleep in a state of walking. Eyes half-lided, mind overturned and dreams dancing in every shadow of the world, Jaydan returned to Salka in the night of the attack. Fires razed on the horizon. Tree limbs shaking were the rattle of bones snapping. The rising night, gathering all around him with each breath, was the smoke of destruction. He could feel it in his lungs, tightening, constricting. He began to cough, his voice hoarse as he called plaintively to his rider that he never lost in that fight - he lost her much later, but it hurt all the same, factual or not.

"L-L-UUUUU-U-IN"
