Belgaer
Excitement radiated in the air between them and he felt her eyes upon him as she danced in place with excitement. She didn’t want to waste a single moment, it was almost as if she’d been sleeping and now she was awake and determined not to miss a single opportunity. He admired her verve and he couldn’t help but raise his wings in anticipation. The waterfall wasn’t too far, and the lagoon truly was a beautiful place to visit. He’d spent many hot summer days as a colt splashing in the shallows with his siblings. The games they would play would always hold a special place in his memory.
He stood still as she traced her eyes along the length of him and he couldn’t help but wonder upon the thoughts that resided behind her hazel eyes.
“I can’t think of reason why not,” He smiled warmly. “The path is a bit steep and the water may still yet be a bit cold for swimming. But it’s beauty is not something you should miss out on.”
Although the day had grown quite warm, the water would still have a bit of a bite to it. Belgaer wasn’t particularly fond of swimming unless the conditions were just right. He angled himself towards the path and led the way onto the slowly declining path. The tropical forest around them grew thicker as they walked and flocks of parrots unused to being disturbed so deep within the fold of the trees complained loudly in their direction. Ignoring them, he pressed on.
It’d been quite some time since he’d last made his way to the lagoon (a name he and his siblings had chosen for that special place). He’d even dare to say that they would be the first visitors since the break of winter. No doubt the place would still be abandoned with most Ischians knowing that the best place to escape the thawing sun of spring was the beach. Josie would learn that in time.
Suddenly, the path grew even more steep and he glanced back at Josie briefly so make sure that she hadn’t fallen too far behind. Rocks poked out from the rich soil underfoot and he navigated around them, kicking a few lose as he went. It was only as the path evened itself out that they began to hear the rumble of the falls. They were close now.
Through a break in the trees, Belgaer could just barely spot the shore of the crystalline lake. He paused and flashed Josie a quick smile of encouragement. “It’s just through there,” he said with a nod. “Go ahead.”
