It's a trap! - Megz Pony - Aldric - 10-26-2018 you look like yourself It has been years. Aldric has been far from home for long enough that he does not recognize the Beqanna he returns to. He had been little more than a boy when he’d gone, escaping into the great unknown without purpose or direction. The years away have been kind to him, and his red dun pelt blooms with good health and lean muscle winds around his framework. His white splashed limbs pound out a rhythm that carries him deep into the familiar-but-unfamiliar land, though he isn’t looking for anything at all as he streaks through the redwoods, skirting the bay and diving back into the forest. It’s only the river that stops him, he gallops along it a short while before it curves sharply away to his right. It is in this bow of land that Aldric slows to a trot and then a walk. His coat is reddened, dark with sweat but the autumn air cools him with it’s crisp caress. only it aint on the surface Aldric RE: It's a trap! - Megz Pony - Furia - 10-28-2018 They had escaped far from Beqanna, many years ago. Someplace safe for them and safe for their family, especially after what had happened to Gran. A wave of sadness washes through her at the thought, it had been so long since she had last been seen that they had decided to call her deceased. Furia has followed along, let them all believe she believed the same thing, but she had a feeling deep down in her heart that it wasn’t quite the truth. So she had grown and learned from her father and papa on how to fight, to defend herself. She had hugged them all goodbye for now and slipped away on her travels. She didn’t tell them where she was going, knowing it would cause a fuss. Beqanna was not a safe place for them, for anyone, but especially for a mare. Not that she remembered much more than their safe little home. Where they had played as freshly born foals. But she remembered leaving and she remembered the hours of walking and sleeping and walking some more. It had taken her a little bit longer than she remembered to find her way back and as such she was exhausted. She felt it the moment she crossed into Beqanna, she wasn’t quite sure what it was but it was a ripple of something that slid down and around her body. She pauses, turning to blink and look back behind her, wondering if maybe she could see it. She shakes her head, exhaustion dragging at her hooves as she makes her way through the trail in the forest. She needed to find a place to sleep for just a little while and then, maybe then she could get up and go about her random rediscovering of her birth place. If she noticed the smell of a giant cat, it was lost on her, in another life time….well, that’s another story. (sorry she's kind of rough still. ^_^ @[Aldric]) RE: It's a trap! - Megz Pony - Aldric - 11-04-2018 you look like yourself Slow weary footfalls down the forest path. Aldric needs to make a decision to intercept the traveler and likely put himself directly into the big cat’s trap, or to find some other means of preventing the impending attack. He could call out and just let the stranger coming through the trees fend for themselves, but who could know if they would escape away or try to flee right under the predator and end up in just as much trouble if he’d said nothing. only it aint on the surface Aldric @[Furia] Sorry! Here he is! <3 RE: It's a trap! - Megz Pony - Furia - 11-04-2018 “Stop!” The voice echoes around her, causing her to stop immediately. Her ears prick from their tired position and her eyes instantly narrow some as she tries to find the source of the voice. She seems him then, his red and white form barreling for her. She steadies her weight, evening out her body as her both of her father’s voices echo through his mind, battle advice freely given to keep her safe. Anything to keep them safe. But then she realizes that his eyes aren’t on her. They are on a rather large cat that she hadn’t noticed. She snorts as he draws it’s attention. She also didn’t mean offense but her heavier draft build was going to be a bit better of a match than his hot blooded form. But she takes advantage, her hooves instantly eating the dirt between them until the cats ears flicker backwards towards the oncoming sound. By then of course she’s already too close and rears up only to stomp her hooves on the cat’s tail. “Go on, get outta here!” She bares her teeth, flashing them and snapping them shut close to the cat’s body. Her hooves stomp down landing on the flicking tail of the cat, making it yowl. Her ears are buried in her tangled mane, but she doesn’t quit fighting the cat until it runs off. Which shouldn’t take long. If it was smart, it would realize it wasn’t getting fed tonight. At least not with horse. When it does, she turns her eyes to her savior with a smile. “Thanks friend. I clearly wasn’t paying enough attention.” Her Papa and Daddy would have given her a stern lecture about it. “Name’s Furia.” RE: It's a trap! - Megz Pony - Aldric - 11-06-2018 you look like yourself
only it aint on the surface Aldric @[Furia] RE: It's a trap! - Megz Pony - Furia - 11-12-2018 She almost feels bad for her thought earlier as he compliments her quick actions. She should know better than to underestimate someone just because they were smaller than she was. It’s not his fault her dad was a monster of a horse and so on down the line of their genes. And so she merely bobs her head in agreement, her lips curling into a smile. “Thanks, it was good you were here though, otherwise I would have a lot of new fancy scars to show off.” And while she didn’t mind scars, she hated the whole part before with the healing and the itching… No thanks, right now. “I don’t rightly know. I am looking for some family members and really just to see the place I was born before it all went sideways and our father whisked us away.” So she continues walking with him at her side and she is comfortable in the silence between them until he speaks again. “Aye, although I cannot remember the spot that we lived, nor the name of it. I just remember being safe because our family was there.” She rolls her shoulders in a shrug. “So yes, but no.” She says with a laugh. “I was going to take in the sights as I searched.” |
