All she ever wanted was the world.
It has been weeks now since you last saw the flaming stranger, and slowly, you are beginning to become accustomed to this body. You hate every last inch of it, from the scraggly mane and tail to the jutting ribs and hip bones, but you’re gradually learning how it works. Arthritis has stiffened your joints, making your travels painfully sluggish, but you swear that you won’t rest until you get your body back—your real one, glossy coat, shining hair, and all. Though there are predators about, as often as you deem it safe, you journey under the cloak of the night, hiding from any form of life you may encounter. You cannot bear the thought of anyone seeing you like this, so devoid of any beauty. And there is another reason. The darkness dims the vibrant colors of the season. While their beauty once delighted you, the leaves seem to taunt you in their glory. They are in their prime, and you are only a shadow of your former self. If anything, you are what they will become at the end of autumn: withered husks, crinkly, and brown, and ugly. No, you’ll skip the constant reminders of beauty, thanks. That is why, when you reach the rotunda quite unexpectedly, you cringe. A slow anger has been bubbling within for weeks, and the sight of the structure, glimmering so perfectly in the moonlight, brings it all to the surface in a tumultuous wave. You rush at the pavilion as fast as your choppy trot can take you and jab at the nearest window with your horn, listening with delighted fury to the sound of breaking glass. Triumph, white-hot and intoxicating, surges through your veins at the crash. If you can’t be beautiful, nothing else will be. OOC: Hasn't spotted him yet c: @[Morir] |
