TORLEIK
Long is the winter of a man's soul The clip...clop of Torleik's hooves on the rocky ground was quiet and slow, marking his methodical pace. It was nighttime, the realm of his goddess, and he felt...calmer. He had come here to this place to beseech her once more, to speak and see if she might listen this time, if his accomplishments were worthy in her eyes. Irelyn, still young and unaccustomed to late nights, was nestled into his broad back, snoozing like only a child could, oblivious to anything and everything bad in the world. Stars bright in the sky, breeze cool and the veins in the rock pulsing with an inviting blue, Torleik halted in front of the Moon Goddess' shrine, exhaling and sinking to the ground. What was he here for? Himself? Perhaps. He wanted to...to pray for Ophelia. To ask the Moon Goddess to do something for her. Anything. The Bloodskald had the sense that asking that would only offend the white mare; Ophelia was fiercely independent and had rebuffed his well-intentioned help before. Closing his eyes, the warrior breathed, taking in the sounds, smells and sensations around him. Was anyone else here? He didn't know. Wasn't sure they'd bother him if they were; not many accosted him without reason. Even if his solitude was a lie, it was a pleasant mirage. The stallion felt...old and worn, tired on the inside and out. He'd lost his family, had found a fragment of it here, half lost it to a succubus who led the Basin (though his thoughts towards Illynx should not run so bitter, he knew), had his heart trampled on by the promiscuity of a mare, cautiously held feelings for another who seemed to not want him in the slightest most of the time, and had no friends. A man was measured by his deeds in battle and the reputation he left behind. What had he done? Very little. If he were to die right now, there would be no great dirge at his funeral - there would be nothing to say. This land held little for him still. @[Serenity] "talk talk talk" 'Mental talking' Thoughts |
