Let’s Walk Through the Fire Together, Disappear in the Golden Sands



There was a spring in his step that had been absent for a long time, all made possible by the kindness of a few individuals he had met upon wandering into this land. With majestic grace the Warlander galloped over the fields of the Thistle Meadow, his ears swiveled forward and nostrils wide, inhaling the smells of this new, curious land. It was marvelous to have his leg healed. Thayne had forgotten what it was like to move without pain, and albeit the rugged scar upon his left forearm, no one would have been able to tell that it the wound had ever existed. It was by the kindness of Tor that he had been healed, a kindness that he wouldn’t soon forget.

None of those that he met in the Threshold had wanted anything in return for their kindness, and that alone had been strange and somewhat different for Thayne to accept. It seemed that there were still creatures out there made up of kindness that would help rather than harm… In Sliccic, aside from his herd, the numbers of those like that were few and far between. The bastard who had wounded him with a sharpened hoof had been proof of that.

Cresting over the top of a hill, still paced at a full gallop, Thayne let out a whinny of joy. How wonderful this was! The wind crested through his ivory mane and tail, the white strands whipping around his face. Dense muscles pushed and pulled, his legs propelling him across the plains of fresh grass and lavender thistles. Piercing green eyes scanned and surveyed his surroundings, absorbing the sights and filtering them away to remember at a later time. It was only when he approached a wide, churning river did the coal-grey Warlander slow to a stop, his body covered in rivulets of sweat. It had been quite some time since he had been able to run like that, rendered a crippled since leaving Sliccic over a week ago, but the sprint had been refreshing for his body, mind, and soul.

Feathered hooves stopped at the shore of the river, muscles in his thick neck rippling as Thayne lowered his head to indulge in a drink of cool water. Dipping his muzzle into the river, his lips swished the liquid around for a few moments before sucking it in. It felt wonderful on his tongue, quenching his thirst and helping the stallion to cool down from his mad run. When he got his fill, the Warlander lifted his head, ever vigilant. Would there be any others about today? Would they be just as kind as the three he had met in the Threshold?
