 Ni'awtu closed her eyes against the harsh wind blowing her hair in her face, stinging her skin. On one side, she liked that it lifted the forelock heavy with the bell from both her eyes so she could see better. She really should find a way to hold the forelock back. Though she was getting used to only seeing well with one eye. Moving the bell itself so it didn't drag down the hair so much wasn't an option. It had been placed specifically on her forelock. And on her forelock it would stay.
On the other, all the thick and curly hair of her mane got in her face. Tangled it. Flicked it against her body so it stung. She did not like combing it. What she should do is find a way to get herself a little animal to follow her around. Keep her hair in order. Comb it. Someone able to actually hold things other than just with their mouth.
But, that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. May as well stop wishing for it.
Tossing her head once in frustration, the bright blue mare lowered her head back closer to the ground, digging at the soil with one pure white hoof. At least a hoof that used to be ghostly white. Now it was more flecked with dirt. The dust clouds had risen a little ways past her feet. Along her front legs there were little patches of brown that didn't look like they belonged there. Ni'awtu didn't care. She continued to poke around in the dirt, searching for something she wasn't even sure what was. Just trying to keep busy. Many months out on her own and she still couldn't manage to forget the past. To forge on ahead with her life.

 The shadows were creeping up..filling the area around the stallions feet until his chest constricted, fear taking over. Rushing quickly through the trees and brush he couldn't even think Tavshed just ran. The darkness would devour him if he stopped..if he paused to think of another solution. No running seemed to be his only option. Bau his tiger colored familiar rushed behind the stallion, gracefully jumping fallen logs with Tavshed's favorite plush also named Bau held tightly within her jaws like a baby kitten.
Finally seeing a more open bright area he veered to thew right, bursting through the branches with a loud crash. Bau paused behind his quivering form, she caught sight of the stripes just a little ways ahead of the clearing they had entered. Silent she slipped through the shade..momentarily leaving Tavshed to collect himself while she peered at the mare. So a newcomer had entered their little stretch or forest. Curious the mountain lion snuck closer wondering why the mare would be..digging.
Taking a few more soft panting breaths the stallion looked about for Bau...maybe the darkness had gotten her! Ears pinning he back he cautiously stepped through the trees, spotting his familiar first before catching sight of the striped mare. Not wishing to frighten her he carefully rustled the grass around his feet before speaking in his soft broken voice. "H..h-hi....?"

Ni'awtu wasn't aware of the sounds of feet edging quickly towards her from around the sounds of her hooves digging up the earth. The scrapping of her once beautiful ivory feet when she hit a stone or thick root. For some reason it felt urgent of her to dig. If she stopped, she would have to face the reality of being alone. Of the grief threatening to choke her, the clawed hands of it reaching around her heart slowly every time she would think about it. Even for just a second.
If only she could toss it all into a bag and continue digging until she could completely bury it all. She was tired of it claiming her day after day. Why couldn't she just let it go quickly like others would have? They would have been able to move on with their life by now. But what few Soq she had met since than weren't doing much good to make her forget.
She had to bury it.
For a few moments, as the sounds grew louder, Ni'awtu stared down at the hole, having stopped in her digging for the moment. The hole wasn't big. Her actions to go deeper into the earth hadn't been very fevered. If she wanted, she could put her four hooves into it and still had a little room for a fifth, while only going halfway up her lower legs.
Just bury it. It's not that hard.
It was this moment she heard the rustling of the leaves, followed by the soft voice she wasn't familiar with. Despite the efforts to not frighten her, Ni'awtu did jump, flaring out her wings out of instinct. Just a little. Not enough to make a take-off as they were still bent from being pulled against her sides. She turned her head so her one uncovered pale purple eye could take in the newcomer. Antlers and a short tail meant a Cerynei.
"Oh. Hello. Am I...Intruding on your domain?"
