~ each day death crawls into my body
Loneliness. He has spent many months in isolation. Alone he wandered through the vast desert, his hooves were the only prints to touch the shifting sands, and as the winds rustled through the sands they were gone. His heart longed for something more yet he remained in solitude, just him beneath the star speckled heavens and the cloudless skies. He searched his own heart and mind only to find the turmoil that has plagued him since his child hood. A feeling of resentment clings to his heart and longing for his father whom he never had met. And despite all this time spent on the Isles, he has not found another clue to help him on his journey.
It as if, just like the arid desert winds, every story of him was carried away or buried beneath the shifting sands.
He stands idle beneath the glaring sun, his tail flags over his haunches and his nostrils flare as the winds swirl around him. His dark gaze flicks around him and as far as his eyes can see there is endless mountains of sand. A sigh lingers on his lips as he swivels his head toward the distant horizon.
His legs carry him across the countless dunes as he quietly contemplates the turbulent thoughts of his mind. But as he wanders a familiar scent wafts on the arid breeze and his heart hammers to life. Naz.
He falters in his steps and swivels his head in the general direction of her scent. It had been months since he has set his dark gaze on her familiar face. She had been there much when he needed her, she had stood at his side when others fell away. He takes a hesitant step in her direction, but would she welcome him?
He takes another step and then another... step after step he heads towards her. His heart hammers wildly against his chest as he remembers every moment they had spent together, the fierceness of her gaze yet the gentleness she had shown him when he stumbled ashore. She stayed with him in his weak and broken state. She spoke life back into his soul and whispered it to his bones.
She begins to materialize before him. His steps quicken and his heart along with them. "Naz," he nickers as he closes the distance between them on numb legs.
She is just as stunning as he remembered her, the delicate curves of her ears and the beauty and intelligence behind her golden eyes. "I have traveled the vast deserts and Allah guides my path back to you," he breathes as he brings his dark gaze to meet hers.
