Gull He was back, baby! Though Gull barely had a clue as to what had ended his illness (and really, as to what had started it for that matter), he didn’t care. He was too busy being fabulous. Now that he was able to breathe, he was also able to fly, and he wasted no time in taking to the sky again. He looked like an idiot, turning drunken loop-de-loops and whooping obnoxiously as he attempted dangerous dives, but the feeling of the air under his wings was delicious. He felt more lighthearted than he had in seasons—cheating death could have that effect on a guy, it seemed. The world had done its best to beat him down, but it couldn’t crush the likes of Gull so easily. He was invincible! Screaming it shrilly to the heavens (and to the unfortunate ears of anyone in the vicinity), Gull circled the Veins once before flapping haphazardly off into the rising sun. He came upon the island chain about midday, as the sun beat down uncomfortably upon his back. Relishing the idea of a dip in the ocean and the taste of salty summer grass for lunch, Gull swooped lower, spiraling down to land on the beach. A slight breeze picked up as his hooves touched the sand, lifting the tangled mane from his sweaty neck and carrying with it the familiar smell of the sea…and of something sweet and wild. Plans for a swim instantly abandoned, his nostrils flared to take in the scent of the mare. She must be just upwind, he calculated, and his steps were eager as he headed over the dunes to claim his prize. He was not disappointed. For when he reached the top of the dune, there before him stood—“Firebug?” And sure enough, there was that pesky featherball of hers, circling the sky as usual. Lust gave way to a lazy smile as he recognized the mare he had scented, and he trotted down the hill to meet her. “You’re looking well,” he teased, eyeing her up and down playfully. “Barbecue any bastards lately?” trouble just grew wings |
