Vita Nova stood along the shoreline of the Desert, her icy blue stare staring idly out over the waves. Her steel-colored ear lobes lay limply against her poll, one twitching every so often when a more profound pull of the tides caused a wave to crash almost to where she stood in the damp and soft sand. The sun was low and brilliant over the horizon, reflecting rich pink and orange hues over the seawater. Another day was coming to a close, and like so many that came before this one, Vita Nova had little to show for it.
She yawns, revealing a set of jaws and two rows of yellowed teeth, as she lazily bids the day goodbye. For several months, she hated being left alone here. The young mare was constantly seeking out her only companion in this otherwise desolate terrain, Evren. But even their friendship seemed daunting at times. Sometimes Nova wondered if they were only friends because they were forced to be. It was either that, or be at odds with Koray all on her own.
At least when she was by herself she wasn't with Koray. Nova struggled with her feelings for the strange, pale-colored stallion for so long. She desperately wanted to connect with him, for him to feel for her the way Nephilim did, or at least cared to be in her company. But after the day she saw him attack his own kin, Evren, Nova didn't bother trying to be anything to him anymore. Instead she was aggressive, despondent when he required something of her, and combative. She did what she was told, of course, fearing reparations from the egotistical stallion, but she always made it very clear she was never happy about it.
Nova longed to think that her current situation was temporary. But she'd given up hope that Shamwari would come and save her. Or Orhan would return and everything would go back to how it was before. She knew if she wanted change, she would have to enact it herself. But she incapable of sorting through it all to figure out just where to begin.
