ARAXES

TENDER HEART

She would fight if she had to, but Denocte had warriors, and she was the Champion of Wisdom. It wouldn't be so wise to barge in to the upcoming fight when many needed help, and shelter. Araxes was no fool, and her talents were best suited to caring for the horses of the court and guiding them to safety and to ensure they would be alright. If push came to shove, she would fight, but she would be useless if she was injured herself at this time. Through the rumbling of thunder and distant flashes of lightning, she fixes a gaze on Raymond, her wings fluttering slightly. "We are strong, Raymond, but even the strong can fall if hit in the proper spot. We are not invulnerable." They couldn't risk losing anyone, and that included the youth and elders of the court that were gathering in the walls of the castle, seeking safety.

Her winged head gently nodded, however. "It's safer here than if we wandered out. Let us hope that there aren't others that have strayed far." Slate eyes beheld the red man a moment, and she drew in a breath. "Good luck." It was something to say, she figured. He had skill, he did not need luck, but it showed compassion regardless. In other words, to him, it was more along the lines of don't get killed.

She watched Raymond go, head lifting to see the gliding wings of pegasi and those that would fight joining the man so he was no longer alone. Lingering only a moment, she turned herself to begin herding others toward the safety of the castle walls and its high floors. "Follow me! We must seek shelter!" Her voice broke out from her lips in a loud tone, commanding and drawing many eyes on her as she sloshed through the water.

The mare led the way to the castle, pushing inside and shaking herself off as she made it to the dry castle, ushering bodies past the door and beginning to organize them. She would treat the wounded and keep order among the people while the others fought, and hope that they all came back in one piece.
