Dreams of Royalty [Kreios and any]

[Kreios]

kreios don't you tame your demons, but always keep them on a leash She wakes slowly, but I am patient, and take the time to grab a few mouthfuls of grass until she’s fully awake. I do feel rather proud – she could have run off between our coupling and her arrival in the Falls, but she had not. The position that I’d offered her still stands, of course, but despite the foal that I know is growing in her belly, it cannot imagine a mare like Teali ever truly content with the herd life (even the herd life in a kingdom setting) “Of course,” I reply with a small chuckle when she speaks, “Where else would I be?” There are plenty of places of course – patrolling the border, practicing my battle skills, being diplomatic – but the way that I settle my weight to one side and lazily flick my long tail seems to say that this is the only place that I’m needed. It is nice, I will admit, to be able to pause for a while. The presence of another warrior has halved my shouldered responsibilities and therefore doubled my free time. “Where did you live before you came here?” I ask curiously. Was she the product of a small herd or some glorious kingdom? Perhaps she is a princess in her own right, not simply a common-born mare who aspires to royalty. My time outside the edges of Beqanna had been deep rather than long, and I know very little of the outside world.
