 Soren
Today, he abandons the sea for greener pleasures. Hooves unused to the carpet of grass beneath them bounce lightly, though the colt continues at a pace best considered a brisk walk. His heart beats with a rhythm stricter than the wild beat of impassioned youth; it is perhaps a mark of early maturity, perhaps something inherited from his father. Or it may simply be that he is cold – his eyes do gleam like ice as they pass over rolling green earth and whispering trees. Soren’s ears prick to the sound of voices in the distance; he recognizes the high tone as female – and young. Does he know that voice? Some quivering memory twitches at the back of his mind; convinced, the boy rolls forward at a trot already long enough to cover ground. He crests a hill and eyes the pair of figures down the slope: one pale, one black and gold. Soren knows the glitter of the second girl’s wings: his ears prick, excitement heating the empty boredom of his eyes. He checks the surroundings for the bear he saw beside the pegasus last time, but seeing no such creature near, he begins his descent. As he draws closer, it occurs to Soren that whatever the fillies are doing is strange: one with forehead pressed against a tree, the other with the pale girl’s tail between her teeth. Is it a game? The colt slows from his trot and leans out a skinny neck. ”What are you doing?” he asks. His ears tilt back when he steps near enough to examine the white and black filly’s predicament: the pale base of a horn just visible between her forehead and the tree. So was she… fighting it? He cocks his head, aware suddenly of the knotted spiral twisting but a few inches past his own forehead. Though Soren can’t see it, he is quite aware of the weight – like he becomes aware of breathing when he thinks too hard. He turns to watch the winged girl pull, though he doesn’t yet offer to help. you're fireproof nothing breaks your heart |
