~ i had a dream i was floating down a black river
✥ ✥ ✥
Her mind reels. Hades has followed her. His breath still lingers on her nape and the shivers from his words still linger on her spine. How did he find her? She had thought herself safe once she had left the shores of Lefkada. Her body shutters at the thought of him as he lingers in the shadows. She casts her bi-colored eyes around at the thought of him in the shadows of the distant trees, and her breath is held as she waits for him to appear before her.
But he does not come. Even as the minutes tick by, she is just there alone in the middle of a vast opening.
She pushes herself toward the dull roar of the sea, the mistress who had brought her here. As she draws near to the hissing surf and bubbling waves, a soft breeze pushes itself into her long knotted tresses. She closes her eyes and hides them beneath a veil of silvery lashes. Her heart beat slows and she breathes in the salty, humid air around her. She listens to the squawk of the gulls overhead and the sound of the waves as they wash together at her hooves. It comforts the torment of her soul. A breath passes her lips as peace envelops her in its embrace.
She does not know the dangers that a lone mare is presented with, especially with her sweet aroma inviting those who would otherwise take advantage of her. She has been alone most of her life, avoiding large gatherings and those of the like who could bring her harm. How would she ever of learned of such dangers?
The only danger who has presented himself was Hades and he alone was enough to cause her heart to still in her chest.
