 She immediately beaches herself upon the shore, wriggling happily amongst sea-froth and wet sand. She is oblivious to the impending storm clouds and the rain that has begun to pitter-pat across her bright, blood-red skin. It is all irrelevant. She didn’t need her eyes, her beautiful sightless silver eyes, to know where she was. She could feel it. She was home. Though at times she feels torn between the ancient land of her ancestors and the tropical paradise she loves, she knows that this is where she truly belongs – with him. Once her reunion with the land is complete – oh how she had missed the give of the sand and the salty ocean breeze – she heaves herself to one side with an undignified grunt, intending to venture further into her home – whatever had become of it since she had left. If there had ever been concern that the pale-gold stretch of sand and tropical rainforest was now owned by another it would’ve been fleeting. Her faith and confidence in her dark knight would conquer all. She snorts delightedly at the amusing ‘squelch’ of the sand beneath her hoof as she begins to ‘tap’ herself a path further into her home. Soon the ‘squelch’ turns to a ‘thud’, and she is overwhelmed by the familiar scent of rain intermingled with that of the lush tropical forest. She smiles giddily, crookedly, and pauses for a moment, twitching her nose as droplets of rain burst upon its broad expanse. As she strains for the sounds and scents of her family – of her lover, of Elysium, of their children – she catches the two-beat of another. Whoever was near, perhaps just beyond the ferns that pricked against her thigh, was light of foot; she couldn’t discern much more amongst the thrum of the rain and the thick scents of the environment. “Kon’nichiwa!” she calls out hopefully, and tries to follow the sound as best she can, hindered by having to constantly stop and regain her surroundings. the dragon's forever and ever! |
