Falls

The water had suddenly been to his knees. He had been picking up his daughter, Brightwine born to Sunshine just before she had fallen in love with a man leaving the islands, he had promised to come fetch her since the child would never be able to swim the ocean to the mainland without there being much danger.

His black mane whips about as he shakes with them coming beneath the canopy of the trees that surrounded the falls. He gathers the little girl to himself, so protective even moments after he had met her - and now well in traveling her back towards Tinuvel. Celestine was already lost, her own child also without a mother, but at the least chance that he could save them from nature and her fickle belief in preserving life, then he would. He would find them both a mother… after he dealt with another damn disaster in this wild place.

The last time it was a blizzard - now again there is a huge deluge, only less frozen. He braces her from behind as the first hours pass and he tries to find them a place to shelter from the upticking current. "Just stay ahead of me, Brightwine, it’ll be ok." He uses his forelegs and chest to brace the tall rear end of the babe and presses them on as best as he can.
