CASSIUS❃

He is at the cusp of exiting Helovia. And he still isn’t sure if he should continue any farther. It’s been dark for a while, longer than it should – but the sun doesn’t shine despite the pressing time. The woods are simply dark, and darker still the further he moves on. The gray is wary of his surroundings, of the shadows and branches he inevitably trips over from time to time.

The thick arms of the forest pull and snag on the fine locks of his hair. Startling the stallion between brief fits of hysteria and a ragging anxiety.

Cassius soon hears the falls however. The rush of water that gushes out from an unforeseen wall, a temporary relief with the thought that he might stop for a while – and drink the water to his heart’s content.

The thought is lost to the red that inhabits the eerie grounds. Blood red marks the pool and the waterfall, despite lacking the smell of iron or saline. A cautious whicker exits his pale lips, crawling closer now to the pond’s edge.

Rubies. Bright, shimmering rubies – it’s a wonder they glimmer in all the darkness that inhabits this land. Carefully he dips his head, briefly taking in his appearance. Disheveled by the twigs that have caught in his hair, and the leaves that have tangled in his silver strands. His expression appears contrite, muscles flexed and eyes – usually so warm, inviting, piercing through the water. The gold that flecks between that gaze are sharper; the kinder parts of his calm person are blunted and forgotten in the maze he has become entrapped in.

With a shaky sigh he dares to draw his lips across the water’s surface. Dipping them beyond the cool threshold, and seeking out the taste to wet his dried throat.
