Everything I've done, I've done for you. I move the stars for no one.
Sol woke with a start. He was in the inn, Jiri in the room beside them and Bel in his bed. The stallion should be surrounded with nothing but bliss, but he felt like there was something missing. Something that he needed to find. Laying still, he recalled the dream that had woken him.
The landscape was familiar, though no longer wrapped in an icy embrace. The canyon warm and still. Blood still littered the walls and floor, blood of himself and others, as well as the thick blood of the creature that they had fought. But it was not the battlefield that was calling to him. Further in the canyon, he had found a hidden cave. It was that finding that had called him, the moment of discovery shaking him from the hold of slumber.
Groaning softly, he nuzzled the mare beside him and got to his hooves. All he wanted was to stay with her, to enjoy their world as it was growing to become. Moving through the room, he exited and entered his daughter’s room. Jiri was still sleeping peacefully. A smile crossed his features and he went back to the room that he and Bel were sharing.
Crossing to the window, he watched the dawn colors spread over the sky. It was early, far earlier than he tended to wake. Even knowing that, he couldnt find it in himself to fall back into slumber. Instead, he watched the sunrise and listened to the soft breaths of the woman that he loved. The breaths of his mate. The one simple word was enough to steal his breath and he turned to smile at her.
