The sunlight streaming through the window in her room caused the simple mare to wake with a groan. She hated to be woken by the bright light that heralded the morning, though she left the window uncovered to make sure she didnt sleep too long. Shaking her head, her acid eyes traced the familiar room as she searched for her companion. Faction heaved herself to her hooves, taking a moment to stretch the muscles that had lain dormant for the night. She then took the time to seek out her dearest friend.
Entering the garden, a smile crossed her face as she saw him sleeping in the early dawn sunlight. The idea of it was amusing, both as something she had seen other canines do, as well as due to the plant matter that made up his muscles and tendons now that he was no longer your typical maned wolf. It made sense that he craved the light and Faction loved that he took the time for those pleasures.
"Sors..." She called softly as she ran her muzzle along his exposed hip bone. Many were startled by the clearly visible bones, noting the bleached white before the richness of the greenery that made him whole... or as whole as he could be having been dead. Faction had given up much of her power to bring him back, spending her magic to give him his soul and the power to live alongside her for as long as she did. That was one drawback of the gift. The moment that Faction passed into the realm of the dead, Faction would as well.
The canine lifted his head, vivid green orbs lighting up the eye sockets as he woke. "Good morning. What is the plan for our day?" The canine asked, stretching and getting to his paws as he waited for her to respond.
"I want to investigate the portals further. I like where we are, but at the same time... I have questions. Will those predators find a way through? Are we living here on limited time?" She murmured, shaking her head and turning to lead the way.
The pair moved through the realm with agility, making their way to a portal with no forethought as to which one. As they approached, she saw another equine enter the portal. Picking up the pace, Faction followed into the portal. Sors worked hard to stay at her side, teeth closing on a lock of her tail to keep them together. He was a worrier to say the least. When they reached the other, a mare by the scent that the canine could barely detect, Faction stopped.
"Hello... Are you from another realm as well? Brought here by a portal?" She asked, her words curious and blunt, but not unkind.
