Tired bones creak and groan as the earthen stag slowed his pace behind the dark stallion, it had taken a few stilted paces for his weary muscles to warm and remember what they were built for. The demon and the stag had flown across the darkened landscape, racing the orange light of moon. The one thing that struck Gaige on the run to World’s Edge from the forest was the freedom, the space. Never had he seen so much open space, albeit littered with trees the landscape seemed endless. Embracing the night he had let his mind run free, thoughts came and went of a very different place he had left (hopefully) far behind. As the two danced out of the canopy of trees Gaige noticed a strange sight before them.


“More surprises” Gaige grumbled stepping out from behind Nato and peering at the massive glass wall that halted their way. “If I’m not careful, I’m likely to have some kind of heart attack or something” He looked around trying to see exactly how far the wall went but darkness crept in at the edges and he couldn’t tell.

The earthen stag turned a pale blue gaze to his reflection, the moon casting his features into a sharper focus. For some strange reason gazing at his reflection in the glass wall made him feel as though he as flesh and blood were the pale imitation and starring back at him was the real Gaige. Earthly brown tainted by scars fading into black as though dirt stained his legs and muzzle one misdeed at a time. As the pale blues shone out at him he couldn’t help but feel like he was a stranger in his own skin.


The demon turned his glowing eyes toward the stag, acid colouring his tone as he warned about causing trouble.


“Noted big guy, I have enough holes in me to last a lifetime” Gaige blinked at the stallion, dropping all pretence. He was too tired to keep it up anyway; swinging his great brown head back at his reflection. He wondered what in god's name was doing here, the mask of a stranger in a world unknown.

OOC* Sorry it so long, and its not very good, but I just wanted to get it out =] Also I'm not sure how to set up links to credit for your table and picture but once I work out how, I will do a proper credit =]

The stag entered through the glass wall following the steps of the demon. He wasn’t sure of what lay beyond such a striking but ominous wall, it had been built for a purpose but for what reason he could only guess. Step by step Gaige felt those damned shoes get bigger; he felt he was entering a world entirely different from one he had previously known. New rules, new games, new minds and he wasn’t sure yet where he fit in to all this. Did he even want to? Was that the question he should’ve been asking himself? Or should he just turn tail and find some cave to hole up in, until he could move on. No he berated himself snorting harshly; he had never run away from a fight and goddamn it if he didn’t like challenge. Maybe he was just getting old with all these thoughts of settling down.

The distant roar of waves upon land caught Gaige’s attention; he had never seen the ocean before. Even bone weary as he was curiosity flicked his ears forward wondering at the sight that went with the sound. He had heard stories about its beauty, its ferocity and the dangers of a storm, the horrible taste, but one thing he had wanted to see for himself above all else was the vastness of it. The stag shook his head he just couldn’t believe the equines when they had awed at just how big this ocean was, sceptical he would just have to see for himself.

As the moon settled into her final quarter of her dominion the earthen stag felt the stirrings of an idea, a thought so little that even he had yet to know it for what it was. Sleep took over the stags mind, dulling everything around him. But the thought stayed whispering to his subconscious mind. Home…



"TALK TALK TALK"

OOC*I know I would love Gaige and Nato to be friends! I think he'll wander around for a bit, but then he'll come back =]
