Lea, Everyone

[Errant]

when my time comes around lay me gently in the cold dark earth He has been toying with the idea for several weeks, but only recently has he come up with a method that he is sure will work. Magic is tricky, and has consequences that Errant cannot always forsee. This time though , he knows that he has it right. “I have something to show you,” he says when he finds Lea. He presses his muzzle gently to the side of her neck, a reassuring touch with a smile that says what he has to show her is the good sort of surprise. Their daughters are just visible off in the distance, and Errant knows that Xiah can keep an eye on her little sister for the few minutes that his plan will take. It takes a few moments of intense concentration, but the sweat is worth it, and the air in front of the two black horses begins to shimmer like sunlight on water. The shimmering widens into a ring, through which the Tundra is visible again. “Step through,” He says, gesturing to Lea to follow him as he makes his way into the ring. The shimmering air is two dimensional, and the hole he has made is not in the air, but rather in the worlds. When he has stepped though he can see two distant figures, one a black leopard mare and the other a smaller black mare standing beside her. Lea will recognize them, he is sure, and as soon as she steps though the ring Errant closes it behind her. They are going to visit their daughters in the realm of the dead. This is new magic, magic that he has not wrought before, and while Lea and Errant are safe, the black king is not entirely aware of what exactly he has done. Time passes differently in the realm of the living than in the realm of the dead, and by the time he and Lea have reached their daughters a dozen yards away, winter has sunk its tendrils deep into the Tundra. Lost in conversation as they are, the world of Beqanna spins by with them. e r r a n t no grave can hold my body down i'll crawl home to her

OOC: Lea and Errant went to visit their daughters, unaware that a minute spent in the Afterlife is months in the real world. Errant and Lea are gone for the time being, and may or may not be back in a Beqanna decade or so. Whatever shall the Tundra do?

He sees them disappearing into the doorway. He is always around, always patrolling. While he does not try to spy upon his own brethren, when you are in the skies more often than the ground, you tend to see a lot of things you should not. So he is there, high in the clouds, when they leave. And he watches them go.

At first he is not concerned. Errant is a magician, and if there is anything that he knows, it is that magicians are odd creatures. So when he brings Lea and takes her through that door, he does not think too much of it. It is only when the days give way into weeks, and the weeks into months, that he truly grows concerned. They had not yet returned. And that is troubling.

And as the time continues to go by, he grows more and more discomforted. They still have not returned. He should have been angry, but the truth is, he is far more disillusioned than anything. He had grown to rather like Errant. To have been proven right at this late date gives him no satisfaction, only sadness.

But the Tundra will go on. It always does.

There is never a day that goes by

that is a good day to die.
