Feast upon the lonesome ones. (Carthage) Posted on November 1, 2025 at 07:20:12 PM by Snapdragon
Rain cascades from the sky, turning the world dark with the storm clouds it hails from. Lightning strikes the ground, slamming into stone and soil with loud booms of thunder in its wake. Creatures of all sorts hide under whatever they can, avoiding the storm and wrath that seeps from a pale mare's bones. Anger and a dark emotion twist through the equine's eyes, making the blue depths churn like a roaring ocean.
Lifting feathered hooves over rough terrain with water cascading off her body, the mare named Snapdragon looks dead ahead. With ears pinned, a weanling in her hip, and blunted teeth clamped together so hard her jaws hurt, she strides forward. Muscles flex under thick skin as the half draft mare walks forward towards a land she hadn't stepped in for ages. She could taste his scent upon the wind, speaking of how close she was to him. The flavor of him has her jaws clenching all that harder, a back tooth threatening to crack.
Tossing her head once to move her soaked forelock from her face, Snapdragon stops dead. Her front hooves slam the ground on their last steps before her rain soaked lips open and a blaring call rings from her lungs. She shouldn't be here, but her choice had been made the moment her father had been removed from power and her mate had vanished for the most part. They had all been fine, until they weren't. That's why when her call ends, the mare tucks her foal close and glares towards where she figured Carthage would be.
