Pure of Heart
Training had been a farce that morning, the blue roan splash mare snorting as she left the training fields. She had been unable to focus on anything for more than a few moments, and the stallion that was leading training had sent her away with a snorting irritation. Lifting into the air on her powerful, multi colored wings, she flew aimlessly through the clear skies. Uzuri loved the feeling of the air tickling her feathers, the feeling like fingers through hair. But even that love for flying was not enough to hold her mind in one train of thought. Her head was jumbled with thoughts that made no sense to her and were driving her nuts.Over a series of lush green fields, Uzi felt the overwhelming desire to have her peach hooves touching the soil. Shaking her head and frowning, Uzuri tipped her wings and allowed gravity to pull her muscular frame back toward the earth. When her light hooves touched the thick grass, she took a moment to listen to the world around her as gravity reasserted itself on her body. The meadow was quiet, though she could hear the sounds of wolves in the distance. Uzi flicked her tail as she tucked her wings, chocolate eyes alert for any danger that could present itself. The scent of a fresh kill tickled her nose and she saw the remains of a rabbit that had been the victim of a predator. She had a moment of calm as she reminded herself that she could easily take to the skies should wolves attack her.
"Probably one of the wolves that I keep hearing. Poor thing, even though predators need flesh to feed their hunger as much as a horse needs grasses." She muttered as she continued to walk through the meadow. Her blue painted ivory leg landed next to a orange creature that leapt up with a yelp. Leaping back with her wings flaring and prepared to take to the air, Uzi stared at the creature and tried to connect what she was with the fear that had caught the young soldier off guard. Taking another step back to give the maned wolf a little space, she lowered her head and tried to look as unassuming as possible. In the back of her mind, she could hear Coy telling her that it was pointless and to not bother trying to look less intimidating. The muscles would ruin it.
"Easy there. I mean you no harm." She cooed to the canid, hoping to calm her. Uzuri took in the creature's appearance. She was thin, though her thick coat masked some of the truth about how thin. Uzi had never seen a maned wolf with white markings, but this little creature had her fair share and was quite the striking little thing. Acidic green eyes were staring at her nervously and it made Uzi's heart flutter as she watched the little female. "I promise... I wont hurt you little one." Uzi's mind went though the information that she had read about the canid before her, remembering that maned wolves would eat fruits and tubers as well as insects and small animals. Taking a few steps away, she used her pale hooves to dig up some roots, as well as grabbing a few fruits from her bag that she had packed for snacks as she had time during training.
Bringing all of the foods to the young creature, she stepped back to let her eat without too much pressure and kept a fair eye on the world around them for any danger. The young mare was feeling protective of the creature before her, connected in a way that she was not used to.
