[AW] full circle

[Kauri]

burn through my love, i've had quite enough There rested paradise. It did not flicker. It did not mock. Body demand its thirst be quenched, but his mind simply hushed away the need. Days and days of wandering the sands, the former warden stood a mere mile away from the oasis; doubt overrunning him. Eyes wish not a chance to see any of these people within this court. He wanted to feed his loneliness, remind himself that that is what his life is meant to be. However, solely did that not come as the beckon that kept him away. His thoughts were bounding about an endless field with a dark cloud slowly drawing in to deliver a storm. The delusion that here was similar to his home... it sickened him. Has he caught a bug lately? This growing sickness just doesn't seem to calm down. Oh Mother, guide me. Give me the courage. Kauri sighed. She was out of touch, of course. Perhaps dehydration was kicking in. Though autumn settled, the desert sun was still at its best. He definitely enjoyed the heat, but immune to its consequences he was not. As much as he resisted, he couldn't choke himself any longer. Violet eyes were awestricken by the amount of life this oasis has. It held more trees and vegetation than he was used to seeing from the ones he encountered back in his world. The comparison reminded the stallion just how barren his home truly was. When would this energy return there? Corruption and destruction, he worried the same fate could be met upon this world from what he has seen thus far. The gods here... wait, hold that tongue. He shook his head, sight now greeted by the water in this area. . . . A spirit? Gaze fell onto the equine relaxing within the water. Brows furrowed, muzzle drawing close to the liquid. He stared at his reflection, expecting to see himself morph—to become a being he thought was locked away in this world. Nothing. No gateway was before him, sadly. Such passages were common among the oases upon his home. A way for spirits to leave and return to the spiritual plane by choice. How he hoped there remained a chance to see a certain soul here. He needed to see him. Guzzling up as much liquid as body would allow, attention returned to the stranger present here. Muzzle lifted away from the water once he finished; his senses studying the air around. He breathed, folding his legs beneath him, so he lie down at the edge of the water. "A traveler or an adherent of this realm?" he inquired aloud. The stallion rests on the opposite side from wherever the other soaks; Kauri now quietly watching the small waterfall that flows here.
