[AW] The golden boy

[Kauri]

burn through my love, i've had quite enough He could feel it. The land before him easily told how close he was getting to his destination. Body hadn’t ached like this since Mother knows how long. To be able to walk upon the soft sand once again, to feel the heat eat at his skin, his heart fluttered in hopes of the desert. Perhaps it wouldn’t be the same, the place where he was of importance; a tale by tongue of the natives. He paused amidst the plain, stricken with sadness. A question returned: what was he now? Nothing but that soul in which meanders about the land, a phantom. He couldn’t become more than that. Not when he believed the worse with these beings that oversaw this particular world. At the sound of a certain creature, his view moved toward the herd of bison within the area. Kauri watched them go along their merry way, scoffing at the young ones that butted at each other. Remembrance, denial. Sighing and turning his attention elsewhere, soon did he notice how some of the bison veered away from a spot within the grass. An elder or a sickly one meeting its end, he presumed. He’d let most of the herd pass by before moving inward. Pace was as slow as can be, swallowing his eagerness for the desert just for this moment. He dismissed any curious bison, gesturing them back and away. A meter from the unknown shape and already did he snort. The stallion circled the body, examining it. A faint move of this stranger’s chest told him he was at least breathing, if not somewhat alive. Lying here, vulnerable, he was surprised a predator hadn’t gotten to this one—or an irritated bull. He could leave him as is but Kauri would let his curiosity rule. Bringing his muzzle close to the other’s neck, he took a lock of their mane and tugged on it. "Oi, get up before I send a bull your way," he warned this stallion. Kauri stood beside the body, waiting for any reaction. If nothing, perhaps another tug, but he certainly wasn’t lying about that bull.
