HUGAN GRAVES
Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear.
The sound of festivities roared around the stallion. Mares, stallions, and foals danced. Equine laughed and sang. Hugan was never much of a party man. He found himself on the outskirts, laying across a raggedy blanket as an elderly merchant talked his ear off about her days as a child. He listened with a soft smile on his face, one ear in her direction, and one in the direction of the crowd. He had been to many nations such as this, but also many so different. There were some, he remembered, that rejoiced and celebrated every morning, welcoming a new light. Then there were some who would not think about being outside when the sun's bright rays released its grasp on the land. Where he found himself now, he figured, was somewhere in between. The people of the Night Court sure did enjoy their festivities as soon as the moon replaced the sun.
Shifting against his place on the blanket, Hugan let out a soft sigh and leaned back against the dark wall of the market place. His long matted hair fell over his blind eye, shading half of his striped face. His horn let off a soft glow, reflecting the light from the dancing fires in the streets. The sound of a flutter of wings caught his attention, causing him to pick up his gaze. His neck craned as he watched another - a pegasus - shoot to the sky and soar above the court.
It was then that a loud call sounded, summoning the people of the court. Hugan's ears shifted forward, his bird skull earring bouncing against his cheek. Careful not to mess up the blankets he was laying on, Hugan pulled himself to his hooves. He dipped his head politely to the old woman beside him and excused himself before making his way toward the source of the summoning. His tail swept behind him as he went, ears laid back in a content manner.
Stopping before the king, the stallion brushed his mane from his face with a flick of his mind. He stood square on his hooves, head held above his shoulders, green gaze focused ahead as he waited patiently for whatever it was to come.
@Reichenbach, im just pretending this is after our current thread if thats okay? So Hugan already knows who your boy is and vice versa <3
