THESE NIGHTS ARE GETTIN' DARKERThe stallion had come from the sea. Teeth gnashing and ears pinned and he'd set his sight on Vhagar. Truthfully, Vhagar would have much rather fought him herself. Grizzled and scarred, Vhagar was a living map of past altercations. Though most of them were not with other horses. Vhagar happily hunted down the wolves and big cats that haunted the shadows of the Bay. More than once she'd returned to the herd, bloodied and nearly dead, yet somehow she always seemed to pull through. She'd tried to fight a bear. Twice. It hadn't worked out, even Vhagar knew when she didn't stand a chance.
The dragon had watched the two of them fight with a bored expression on her face. Her knees twitched with an eagerness to join the fray. To leap in and fight alongside Emhyr to chase the brute back into the sea from whence he'd come. Emhyr had given her a home, and a child, and for that she decided to let him fight his own battle.
When it was over and the other stallion sunk back into the depths of the ocean, Vhagar finally approached. "You won," she said simply, the best he could expect as far as getting a good job from her. "Good, it'd have been an embarrassment to lose on your own turf." The serious expression on her face finally breaks, her eyes lighting up almost playfully.
"You know, if he'd won I'd have had to kick his ass, and then come back and kicked yours." Though Vhagar was not the most affectionate of horses, they had known each other since they were children. There was no thank you that fell from her lips and the scarred mare normally showed her exuberance in the form of fighting. She tilted her head slightly before bumping her forehead against Emhyr's with a snort. The moment is quickly dashed as she pulls away and diverts her attention back to the sea, to make sure the stallion had really left. |
