Hermia's Gold


She laid dazed for a moment collecting her self, replaying how she ended up in a cloud of dust.
“Fool.”
She grumbled impatiently at her own self before slowly rising up accommodating a body that no longer wanted to cooperate. The dust clung to wet coat turning her a muted yellow and blond mane and tail clung to bits of dead plant, dirt plastering into the strands. She looked sheepishly at him then giving way to her pride and circumstance.
Maybe you should listen to him. You don’t have much choice in the matter.
Shaking her head she cleared her mind the last drop of hazy drug freeing her. She eyed him wearily as he spoke, freezing uncomfortable at the idea of touch and just stared unblinkingly.
Lean on you? We don’t touch each other. What would that be like?
She eyed his physic, a massive rippling shadow in comparison. He was easily her opposite. A solid height above her with muscles that flaunted his years of freedom.Breathing a sigh of relief as he walked away to water side. Distance was good, normal and comforting.
“What sort of dangers?”
She shivered at her own personal demons. Loud, ceaseless buzzing. Metal sharp enough to easily slice open flesh. Sharp chemicals that clog the senses and burn the skin.
“You often have all these spaces to your self?”
Big world. Tiny little mare with no muscle build.
His right. I shouldn’t be alone in a world with different rules then my own.
She inched closer to him eyeing his own build in jealousy. He could be an alley. Deciding to trust and mimicking his own calm demeanor she lunged for the river, gulping at gallons of the crisp water.




No more yielding but a dream
