S T O R Y


We were some of the last few to make it through the portal. Before us, in the glistening meadows and trees, laid Aleria. I could see clouds hanging to giant mountains in the background and I thought I saw deer in the distance. I saw a group charging towards the lake, water spraying up in every direction possible when they collided. I laughed, pulling Minerva over to the side and dismounting. "Hey girl." I whispered softly. "Just stand still." I reached up, un-clipping her face plate and dropping it to the ground. Then I released the girth, letting her saddle fall to the ground too. All of this war far too damaged to get repaired and I could tell she wanted it off. Who wouldn't want nearly one-hundred and fifty pound plate armor off them?

She pranced slightly, pleased with her new light self and I found it in myself to pull myself onto her back. Damn her height. She surged forward, her hair flying into my face as we raced down the hill with a few of the other horses. I felt her body spring up, the water hitting her feet as her body began to rear.

I laughed, having to squeeze her tightly to hang on. I wasn't planning on her rearing but it felt good in a way. She played with the water, snorting and huffing a lot. I pulled her over to the hills, sliding off her back. I climbed up into a tree, hanging down and looking at her. Teasing her. "You can't get me." I laughed softly, grabbing an apple and offering it to her. She threw her head, biting it straight in half and letting the other half fall to the ground.

I finally climbed back down, sitting down near the tree as she found ways to entertain herself. Her hair was a mess and her coat was dirty but we were alive, and sometimes? That's really all that matters.
