now what? ( Þrúðr ) Posted on February 23, 2025 at 11:15:12 PM by Xarellan & Uttara
The monochrome stallion woke up this morning feeling excited and a little scared. Being forced to leave home due to a volcanic eruption was something that he did not want to experience. The journey was long and dull, too. That had to be the longest swim ever in his life. They stopped a few times to get rest, but the places they stopped mainly were small. He had his blue eyes observing the area and saw something he did not like—a mountain in the distance. He snorted and looked at Uttara, who was grazing. The blue roan mare helped him escape the island before that giant ash cloud covered it. She was a bit..stern. Of all the horses, he didn't expect to encounter her. They were courting for a bit, and they broke up. Xar hadn't seen her for a few months until that damn explosion. " Brat"! Xar called out to her. Uttara stopped grazing, giving him a glare for a minute, and went back to grazing. She isn't in the mood for questions, Xar thought. Questions rattled his mind. Where are they? Are there volcanoes here? What about finding a herd? He grazed for a bit and stopped. He enjoyed the lovely sunny weather but wasn't entirely comfortable yet. Xar could smell new scents and see horses not too far away. He wanted to know who they were. Curiosity got the best of him, and he started heading towards the nearest horse he could see. Not caring about Uttara, the blue roan quickly followed him and neighed, "Curse head! What are you doing?" He ignored her and continued making his way. Replies:
