Boastful, prideful, dauntless strides carry the stallion. A twisting flash of gold and black intermingled is stretched upon a pelt. Gold hooves thud against the ground, crowned head tossed into the breeze and cropped hair blowing listlessly. Nares flare, eyes made of ice pointed directly ahead at the pristine beach which is slathered in rich blue waves that stroke the shore. Black glittering sand traipse at his feet, cushioning each hoof fall before billowing behind and disappearing. Crisp air bites his skin, charging the stag forward, faster, who thundered along. Black sand curls around his figure. Miniature horses, dangerous looking, black and glittering, ran along beside him, barely the size of his head.

He leaps off a ledge, a wild smile plastered upon the dark face. His own sand catches him and he runs down the ramp like figure which disappears the instant he steps off. When his hooves touch the feathery sand he shoves his hindquarters down, flints digging into the sand and spraying the tan sand everywhere. Neck damp with a sheen of sweat, he stands still, proud. Neck arched and held high, crowned head hung above it's normal physique. Narrowed eyes stare at the begging waves - they beg for him to step into their depths, each return reaching out for him before being dragged back as if upon a leash... and yet it fights to return each time.

Somnus gracefully slips into the waters, a serene sensation spreading throughout. Eyes close, though body still stands poised, cocky. The water laps at his sides gratefully, caressing the sweaty bodice. Suddenly, he plunges into the ocean, submerging himself in the waters to cool his heated figure. He reaches the surface and slips back out of the sea and it beckons for him to return, silently reaching for him upon the shore. The stallion shakes himself, water droplets flying off of him. His tousled mane falls unevenly and he smiles, piercing eyes watching the black sand build at his feet into an army of the miniature horses that had run along with him before. They line up evenly, and he gazes at them intently, daring them to move. The stare back at him, waiting for command. He gives them none. "Good," he whispers, deep voice echoing slightly through the sand bars.

"If only..." he trails off, mind constantly searching for something, something, anything of his past. He knew nothing of himself, not even his own name. What kind of name was 'Sand Weaver'? It was but a petty nickname the Temptress had given him upon his arrival in what they call the Threshold. Would the Sand Weaver ever know? How was he to figure it out?

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word

Fruitless allure ensnared within coils of burning obsession waft into the skies from a gently tipped maw, steam rising into salty oxygen, twirling, dancing, twisting their way to the edges of the atmosphere, trapped within the solid Earth— she and it remain the same, wishing, hoping for a taste of the heaven's, damned to fall back upon the ground as a swan with broken wings. She trembles, to and fro, back and forth, a endless adoration of the ocean bringing her forward to the brine time and time again. It cleanses, washes, showers away the stained vermilion glass, if only but for a day, but for a hour, a millisecond of time lost, time cursed, time, time, time.

She fools herself, trickery even she is not immune, for somewhere in the back of a stashed away memory she is taken with the ideal of the brine's antibiotic burning, scalding, lavage the pollution from her bones and she shall be born once more from the froth of the blue, crafted anew, fresh, virtuous and guiltless, chaste, uncorrupted in both mind and sinew. Shadow's gleam from the lines in which separate the bog from the beach, and it is with valiance she tilts her dome toward the disease of her own homeland, her former shelter, a curse, a promise, she shall fight with her final breath to protect that which she loves, adores, trusts, and that is the ocean, the expanse of endless glaciers and the scent of the sea against her hide.
She shall defend this place with every ounce of life she has left in fragile bones.

Brought forth from dire whispers, desperate possessiveness, securing, keeping the stretch of the beach close to her as one may keep a young childe next to their breast, tossed from melancholy, dragged from sorrow, she is startled as obsidian creeps along the tanned grains below her hooves, forming images of shadows in her brain, fear circling the glass soul within, for have they come? Tension causes a stiffening of muscle, bunching cords within her chest, teeth threaten to gnash and crush, and it is then she sees the charcoal shift and form, wispy as smoke, twinkling in the morning light, marching, stilling before the grand puppeteer who controls the strings of their creation.
Sand-weaver.

He is sweat-laden, a sheen of the ocean covering the aureate and obsidian flesh of his hide, rivulets of water dripping down from turquoise and gilt, cerulean pearls dancing with intent upon his army whom stand at the ready of his command.
She calms, relaxes, frame swaying as she moves forward, a slow piaffe across the dunes, hooves slide into the oceans froth, waves crash against metallic sides, the faintest of a chocolate tinge to the sheen of her flesh, the greyhound does not break stride, trip nor falter, elegance sliding as the water from clammy sinew.
She delays stride as she comes near him, twinkling indigo filtered with mirth, a smile moving with ease across alabaster lips.
Her recruit.
Her seeker.

He is perfection, divine intervention riddled in flecks across his apparel, and the woman allows a moment to slide her pearls across his well-defined coat before switching her gaze to the golden-eyed warrior's before him. A name has not been offered, given, or blessed upon her, and no longer shall she fret with the title of sand-weaver, for it is not intimate, not close, and she shall deem him a new name upon this eve, for if he shall not grant her knowledge, she shall allow him her own forgiveness.
"Morpheus."

It is a pleasant song upon her lips, light and airy, soft as the breeze against her skin, and she thinks it shall do well.
"You do not cease to delight me with your handiwork. They are.." A gentle sigh breathes forth life, pause, a lull between lyrics in which clockwork hums and sides exhale, heavy lungs weighted down by the invisible chains of sin. "Miraculous and confounding in the brilliance which they present. How are you taking to these lands so far, my weaver?"

let me see you stripped
down to the bone
