WILLOW & ERMINE

.arborun lignea .. .mare. ..23 years. .. .16.3 hands.





She moves with a slow and casual pace, muzzle brushing the tops of the grasses that sway at her knees. They tickle her nose from time to time and she wrinkles it playful, snorting against the wheat and the weeds; the wind spreads their spores like down.

Each hulking stride she manages causes a slight tremble to weave into the tops of the tree upon her back. A willow; it's branches are long and leaves swaying as they reach down towards the ground. They are a vibrant green, many of them new with the coming of spring, though some sections are bare where the cold has nipped them back to bark.

It is the reason for her absence truly. Willow has never known such cold as in this end of Loorien. It does not bode well for her foliage that prefers the spring showers and summer sun. In the endless, pale dawn of frostfall she had begun to die as her willow withered. Even now, rejuvenated with the coming of birdsong, there is a light rasp to her breathing and a labor to her step as her strength is yet to unfurl entirely like all the leaves upon her back.

She has returned though, with the changing of the seasons has drug herself from her hole in the deep recesses of the waterfall where she'd mostly slumbered. The winds had been slow to warm down there and she roused herself like a cautious cub from its mother's den.

The air was clean and fresh and held promises of change, but she knew not what change it was an ode to. Aimlessly she wandered the lands, hoping to run across someone with answers, happy to drink the sunshine while she searched. Perhaps Poppy or Query would be about. She hoped her absence had not direly alarmed them. It had been a sudden and private affair as she'd buried herself to preserve her life. She shuddered at the memory and made a note to be more prepared for the next snows, as they would come again.

The world is ever turning and the seasons rise and fall with the sun and the moon.
