 Ktulu the Constrictor A quiet, concerned whine and a nudge to her leg made Ktulu blink. There, reflected in the water, was Eytan looking worried and anxious. She turned her head and nuzzled the top of his head, feeling guilty that he was worrying so much over her and even more guilty that he was exhausting himself keeping watch over the ones that she loved that she left behind. But she just couldn't do it anymore. She couldn't keep leading them to failure. Not when they had a chance to rebuild themselves into something that could flourish. It would have been selfish of her to keep pushing them for nothing. It would have been tyrannical of her to keep demanding that they sacrifice their bodies and their lives for something that didn't even matter in the scheme of things. She may have been selfish but she wasn't a tyrant. She didn't think she was. "Did you see Lakota?" She questioned the bear softly, to which she got a shake of his head as an answer. "Oh..." It was the same thing day after day when he would get back from the Foothills. She would ask him first if he saw Lakota and if he did she would ask how the other mare looked. Most of the time she hated the answer she got back because it made her sick that she could cause the mare so much unhappiness. "Apollo is well? And Ranjiri?" She then pressed on and he nodded. The dark mare smiled sadly and pressed her muzzle against the top of Eytan's head once more. "Thank you." She murmured to him. It was funny, she could almost smell Lakota's sweet scent. Her desire to see the other mare with her own eyes must have been wreaking havoc on her brain, she thought. Her heart felt like it fluttered and she sighed against Eytan's fur before finally lifting her head. "Hello Ktulu." She froze in place, her heart thundering in her chest at just the sound of the voice. Ever so slowly, the Constrictor turned her head, convinced that there would be no one standing behind her and flabbergasted when she saw Lakota and Aodaun. "Lakota." Her voice was breathless, almost strained. She swallowed and blinked. "What are you ... Why are..." Ktulu cut herself off and tried to smile. "I've missed you." @[Lakota] |
