[PRP] Ares and Nixsi

[Death to Blondes]

[[For Polar and Moi]]



The white coat of a well-built stallion entered an open glade, his pale form almost reflecting the light of the silvery moon. His cold eyes moved over the lands as they traveled over to the small stream that ran through the middle. The main attraction, he stretched his wings for momentarily walking towards the cool waters. He assumed the waters were cold after all, the breeze was chilly. A light snow fall had started and the flakes were landing in his braids dappling them. He let out a soft breath and watched as it fogged the air. It was a nice night, though it was snowing and there was a small breeze the coolness didn’t seem to bother him. He took a step back and arched his neck to quench his growing thirst. He wondered if anyone else ever traveled out this late, he wouldn’t think so. It was probably very early morning, around oneish perhaps. He did not know, but it was so calm and peaceful it was very…relaxing.

A white and pale blue coated mare snorted lightly as her hooves dragged her on through the night. Her eyelids flickered shut for longer than a standard blink every now and then; however she continuously shook her head attempting to rid herself of the weariness. Her shiny blue and silver mane was swept this way and that as gusts of freezing air cascaded by the mare. She shivered slightly; causing her tassels on her halter to sway back and forth haphazardly. Torrents of snow descended upon her already soaked coat; stinging her body with each flake. Of all nights I find myself completely lost on the one night when a winter storm chooses to emerge. The mare whined to herself; horribly upset and tired. Her eyes flashed upward, staring into the darkness of the night. Suddenly the mare stumbled and fell; releasing a harsh whinny that pierced the air.

The stallion’s eyes narrowed as the wind picked up and the snow thrashed at his sides in almost a rage. Seeing as he had slept into mid day today he wasn’t the least bit worn-out from sleep and the bitter cold was making it easy for him to stay awake. The dangers of the cold were no place to fall asleep for most of the time you did not survive. The snow grew denser, and clung to his already white pelt as a second coat. He flexed his wings, circulating the blood whenever they started to grow weak or numb. He continued forward until a sharp sound echoed into the night. It was another and in these nights not many survived. He knew that, he had seen many frozen bodies the last winter from one blizzard, but that had been worse than this one. The outside was as cold as his heart and he didn’t particularly know if he wanted to aid this stranger. His callous eyes wandered as he strode into the direction it came from. This time the wind was at his back as if it were guiding him forward.

Nixsi lay in the snow for a few minutes; her breathing ragged as she tried to shake her self from the impending shock of her fall. The mare shook her head; her body was aching yet she didn't seem to be hurt in anyway. The snow was now falling faster and with thicker flakes of snow; she knew she had to get up and keep moving otherwise she would be buried beneath the storm. Carefully she stood and took a few tentative steps; all her legs seemed to be working properly. Nixsi stood for a few minutes shivering; the wind was streaming towards her in a fury of ice. A few pleading whines escaped her throat and she continued stumbling through the snow; her head turned away and her hair blocking her face.

Ares watched the female stay in the snow, she stayed their. He wanted to know if she was going to fight the storm, he was disregarding the bitter weather quite suitably in his opinion. He watched her as she moved forward as her expression as she moved. He knew why she fell, the ground was frozen and it was almost impossible not to fall or slip occasionally. He wondered what possessed her to be out this late in this type of weather. He was always testing himself, seeing if he was worthy to live. It was the way he was taught by his adoptive unikalona mother. He didn’t know her excuse. He didn’t blame her for the occasional whimpers he heard through the thickness of the wind. His ears flared back as it started to pierce his hearing. He walked closer to her, his cruel eyes watching her.

He whickered to her; he could lead her to thicker woods where the trees could block out the wind and some of the other dangers of the weather. That and if they went there they’d be even closer to the mountains in which he could find her shelter in a cave. He wouldn’t have cared but the fact she had gotten up rather than laid down and given up proved something to him. He seemed to succumb to the weather himself, but the fact was he was still moving and surviving. He just wasn’t letting it take him over and kill him, nor letting it bother him. He had been through far worse and he wasn’t going to let some insignificant storm have the better of him.

The mare closed her eyes as she continued attempting to press on through the snow; shivering violently. Nixsi heard and whinny and was utterly confused at first; so many thoughts raced through her head. Where did that noise come from?, It was probably just the sound of the wind swishing quickly through the trees..., No soquili would be out this late... I must be dreaming...; the mare sighed. Defying her last thought she opened her eyes and squinted through the white snow and the black veil incasing everything else. There was a figure standing close by to her; however they blended in almost completely with the snow... Nixsi's azure eyes stared at them in confusion; wondering if they were really there or not. Perhaps it was a ghost... the figure was white with black patterns upon their coat. Nixsi closed her eyes again; expecting the creature to disappear when she reopened them. When she did though the figure was still there; standing in the snow staring at her. Nixsi wondered what it was doing; yet she was in such shock that she couldn't iterate any words and continued to stare.
