Burn the bodies but keep the skulls, Warsong & any Posted on December 31, 2014 at 07:54:10 PM by Laughing Skull
She knew her dam would have wanted her to bring the news of her passing to her shield sister. It had been difficult to find her aunt in the year she had been gone from Frostwolf's side, and the adventures had molded the mostly white filly into a mostly white mare; gone was the foolishness of youth and in its stead had risen a bold and brazen woman. Since Frostwolf's departure from this world, Laughing Skull had only one goal.
After she completed her quest, she did not know where she would venture to next. Perhaps it was the daunting sense of destiny that gave her pause as she stood upon the dry heated beach. She did not know, but still she waited until she was nearly dry before taking a solemn step forward into the dunes proper.
The sun was warm upon her back, and she tired of it far too quickly. She was a child of ice and snow, being born amongst her mother's deity's realm; the heat had no place in her heart. She knew somewhere that a dragon goddess writhed in fury over the audacity of one of hers in such a warm place, but Laughing Skull could not hesitate again.
Even if heat stroke defeated her in the end.
By the time anyone found her, her coat was thick with lather and salt from the sea. Her pink-black nostrils would be flayed and she would be slightly weak at the knees, something she cursed herself for.
Like the heat, weakness had no place in the daughter of Frostwolf. Replies:
