Evers



It was difficult. He was only a small, skinny old man after all and trying to hoist a stallion in his prime to freedom wasn’t exactly easy. It would have been easier if his younger and more physically useful brother was here, but Archibald wasn't, so Evers struggled with Darwin to help the poor stag to safety as he hadn’t quite the time or enough limbs to check if the filly was okay. They pushed and pulled, with Rita barking along like a cheerleader, until finally the antlered horse burst out of the cave he had fallen into and into the open glade. As he did so Evers let go of the rope and stumbled backwards, catching himself after a few strides and letting out a long sigh of relief. They had saved him! They also hadn’t been pulled in with him in the process, which would have been more than an inconvenience. In all the kerfuffle Evers had been robbed of a perfect reunion with Darwin, however, all the anxiety he had held flittered away and only relief flooded him now.

Offering each of his fellow rescuers a gentle smile, he nodded at both of them “well done” chimed his quiet but noble voice. He’d not been in Helovia two minutes and already disaster had threatened to strike, perhaps he should count himself lucky and leave now. It wasn’t like he purposefully came here… Or did he? Had he unconsciously gravitated back here again (with a little help from Rita) without a single thought as to why or where he was going? He was older now, but he certainly wasn’t old enough to be going senile quite yet!

As all the excitement began to die down, Evers was intent on asking the stranger they had just rescued just exactly what he was doing to get stuck?! However, the filly (who was strangely familiar in some ways) appeared to have recovered from her earlier trip and instead asked after the antlered Sir’s welfare, which was probably what Evers should have thought of doing first, but just like with his own body, he forgot the health issues. “Just how did you manage to get stuck like that?” Evers asked, his voice thick with great interest as he wondered if there had been something to drag him down there or whether he was just born a klutz; though it took some talent to get stuck down a hole on a slender ledge.

“Do you need a healer?” he asked the bruised bronze, casting a look towards Darwin with uncertainty and then back to the child who had introduced herself as Macaria. How long had it been since he’d been here? Were the healers he once knew still here? “I’m Evers and this-“ he nodded to the dog “is Rita” by now the greyhound was laid out, with her head between her paws and waiting for something else exciting to happen.

After that, he looked for the attention of Darwin and he wondered for a moment where on earth that small bay foal had gone. “You’ve grown” he smiled.
