She wondered what he was. He looked like an equine, a strong arched neck, hooves that could carry one for miles. But the emptiness about him…
He was not the first creature she had seen who looked like an equid, but clearly wasn’t. Had to be something other. Obyana had hidden it well for years. He had seemed so calm, so docile. He had changed on a dime. To a monster, a being of shadows, of hidden secrets and betrayal. She wondered how one could live in such a way. Empty.
Still wary she shifted her weight from hoof to hoof, trying to figure out which one would give her the strongest start should she need to make a break for it. Surely she wouldn’t stand a chance, but she could try. At least she would go down with a fight.
She shook her head quietly. “What I am looking for cannot be bought” she replied quietly, looking down for a moment, before remembering she couldnt let her guard down even for a second. “I’m not even sure it exists” she paused. “Who are you?” she asked. “A merchant? Soldier? Or simply a strange man wandering the outskirts of his court at ungodly hours?”
