-Raeg'n-
She could spar for days and never show signs of it. Each hit was absorbed, each break in her skin and perfect structure instantly healed. There was a price for it just like any magic, a dangerous vulnerability she kept as secret as she could. She relied heavily on Lauchlan to negate it, in his way. Keep her safe while she was down. But her stamina was slowly improving. She just had to keep at it.
So she pushed herself relentlessly. The blue champion would spar with anyone, fight with anyone. She entered each moment with a thirst for the toughest battle. Push her, break her. Make her heal.
She was invincible.
Burning amber eyes snagged on a streak of black in the sky, dipping and reeling with unimaginable grace --especially for Lauchlan. A determined grin tilted her lips and she launched herself forward. Sunlight shimmered of her celestial coat like a sheen of magic, hair dancing wildly in a fiery beacon; a constant dare to anyone bold enough to take her on.
She shot across the land, racing his shadow, moving at a speed that made everything look slow. Her breath barely labored; even that healed immediately with little sparks of a flash within her each second. She danced in his shadow, challenged herself to stay in it, leaping to the side the instant it shifted. Sometimes she wished she had wings too, to join him in the skies. But that was his element, and hers was here on earth where her angel-mother put her.
Eventually she slowed, stepping to a small stream for a drink she didn't feel she needed, but knew if she didn't then he'd just ask it of her. He looked after her that way. She waited for him to land and join her. A year older, it seemed he would always be bigger than her. She was still slender, and he was gradually filling out with natural muscle definition, though she didn't think he realized it.
As soon as he was close enough, she suddenly threw her hooves in the water, sending sprays at him with raucous laughter. He was the only one she could let her guard down with, and become a child again. These moments were a well-earned respite from her life's purpose, her heavy burden to bear on young shoulders.
