Love is stronger than fear Posted on February 7, 2021 at 05:07:58 AM by Aponi
The days wore on. They always did. Aponi had grown so accustomed to the shadows in the Forest. She had lavished in the grasses and the moss that was around. She had nipped listlessly at the blades here and there. Leaves were an interesting thing. Aponi preferred the grasses though. Those luscious blades that she so very craved. The forest was abundant with them.
Thoughts wandered to Creed again as Evren approached and words were caught. Drawing Aponi from her thoughts was something she briefly welcomed. Muzzles met in traditional greeting and she caught the inquiry from the other mare. Was Aponi okay? Was everything alright? Not completely. Creed was no loner here. Aponi recognized that her friend had; had to go. Her lover was there; on the other island.
No. Aponi didn't blame her friend but she greatly missed her. Attentions again fell from her thoughts so that she may reply to the other mare. "As best as they could be Evren." There is a soft smile on her lips and it is warm gaze in those eyes for her companion now. "I miss her. I miss Creed. I had a bond with her that I had not other places. She also had a bond with Persephone and you." She pauses only a moment from her words to take a breath before continuing.
"I cannot sulk any longer though. I want that kind of bond with you as well. I want to know my family here and be a part of it. The shadows are not for me. Not anymore. Creed showed me how much company can be a comfort to one." She pauses now and watches her companion. Of what words of wisdom may the other bring forth? Aponi doesn't know but she is listening.
