DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO TRUTH.

Thoughts raced through Nahawi’s head, making him grow a headache on top of the other pains his body held. His chest was aching like his ankle was, but he managed to breath through the pain and not wallow in it like he knew he deserved. Something had happened here and he didn't fully understand what it really was. He had heard beings could black out being angry, but he had never done it himself until now and it caused a cold chill to sweep through his body. He had hurt another horse in an actual fight, not just sparring and it set a black arrow through his heart knowing he had caused someone harm.


Hearing the mare come closer and then speak though, Nahawi lifted his gaze to look at her and soon enough shook his head. He wasn't strong enough mentally or physically to allow himself to lay down fully right now. Sitting like this would have to do as he took in another shuddering breath and swallowed the lump in his throat. “I… what happened?” He softly asked, scared she would say he had her hurt in a way that couldn't be fixed. He swore he would never cause harm to another, but here he was having brought harm to a member of the Ridge.


Shaking his head, Nahawi slowly pulled at the strings in his mind that held what he had done hostage. He wanted to know why he had done this… but he did already know didn't he? Seeing a mental image of his daughter Nahawi felt a tear finally slip free and fall down his cheek as his bloodshot eyes landed once more on the pale mare. “My… my name is Nahawi and I'm so sorry.”
