live until we die - any

[michaelis]

let’s swallow the moon and the stars - let’s wallow just right where we are

The shadows weave tantalizingly beneath the gleaming moonlight and the thick evergreen branches. Mismatched eyes of yellow and chocolate brown gleefully greet them while a thick crunching of snow beneath accompanies the blue roan as he walks amongst one of the many narrow paths that snake through the forest. An owl hoots nearby and he can hear the successful pouncing of a lynx several yards away. Despite the seemingly stillness of the wintry night, he knows that life still continues to thrive even after the sun has long set for the evening.

He’s a shining example of one such creature.

Michaelis has never been much of a kingdom-dweller. He was meadow born and raised, an adventurer of the outlying lands of Beqanna and beyond, and, most recently, a familiar haunt of the forest. From time to time, he will find himself with a restless spirit and journey on walkabouts. But Beqanna is his heart and soul - Beqanna is where he will continue to come rest his weary bones.

He breathes deeply of the chilly night air and continues his languid steps down the forest path, re-familiarizing himself with his beloved home. The shadow tendrils writhe and twist excitedly across his neck and face, recognizing their place of birth as well. They delicately brush against the rough tree bark and the powdery fine snow beneath them, briefly adding more darkness before receding and twirling about his torso once again. They were sentient in a sense, but not in a way that others would understand.

The shadow child has finally returned home.

Michaelis
