The stars are alive, child! Did you know that? Everything out there is alive, and there are grand purpose abroad!
I know I should do it. Honor him, send him off somehow, and simply finish the whole ordeal. but... "If I do that" I replied nearly inaudibly "Than that would mean he is really gone, and I'm not... I am not ready for that reality. not yet, not after everything I went through to have him in the first place"
His hope for me was heartwarming, it was, but he was not the first to have said such things to me, and he certainly would not be the first to be mistaken. How many times had I heard that someone, or something could fix me, and only once had they been right. I shook my head, feeling more like I was letting him down than myself. "Rhone this killed me once before. I walked away with death, before I was granted immortality at the last possible second. I hadn't even walked the earth for a decade yet. Health will not come for me yet, and I do not intend to waste hope on anything else, when I could be living now instead"
I have wasted so much time waiting for good things to come to me, for things to fall into my grasp like leaves in autumn. I do not want to spend any more time waiting, I cannot spend anymore time waiting. It is time I do not have. I listen to the last of his plight, and pull myself to my feet, careful not to stumble on the rutted earth, I move forward until I am at my side, and lean my head down to his ear. "So try for me" I whisper.
With a quick brush of my muzzle against his mane, I step away, turning around. "Goodnight Rhone" With that I walk away, turning tail back into the night, back towards the foothills, where I can return to the mountains, and if I am lucky, maybe, just maybe, he will try for me.
@Rhone
A closer, just to leave him wanting more ;)
