"You should fear what I am."
Summer had finally dawned upon this new world and yet, Vanora wondered if Solterra ever experienced winter. The air was sweltering, it pushed at her lungs. It was dry, so dry, she could feel no moisture in the air and still, a smile spread across her dark lips. This was exactly what she needed, she needed to be here. Here, the ocean’s aroma was far off, it was hardly there. This was the torture she would endure to keep The Naga silent and powerless. This, this was the only way to keep the world safe from the beast that stalked within her mind.
At the thought, she felt the creature that prowled about within the darkness, on the other side of her mental shield. It was a cat in a cage, it paced, restless, hungry. Vanora had grown accustomed to the anxious energy within her skull. There was no escape for her but that shield she’d built, that had helped. However, The Naga had made it very clear that nothing could keep it quiet and Vanora knew better then to underestimate it. This was why she was here. In Novus, The Naga’s powers had been stripped to nothing more then scraps on a bone. Being in the desert had left the monster practically hopeless. Vanora relished in the feeling.
She was pulled from her thoughts as the bay woman realized that Solterra was more than she imagined. She’d left the court to explore and what lay before her now left her pleasantly surprised. A paradise, beautiful and lush. Life bloomed around her, plants flowered and birds sang. Ahead, a large pool of turquoise water called her name. Aching limbs suddenly screamed at her as she neared the oasis. The girl lowered her nose to the pristine water and allowed herself to enjoy the freshness. The water travelled down her parched throat as she drank greedily.
Nora lifted her striped face, silver eyes scanned the area for any signs of another equine. With no one in sight, she’d allow herself to savor in this gift from the desert. Slowly, the woman’s legs carried her forward as the water climbed up her legs. The Naga almost sighed at the sensation.
It is not the ocean, but it is better then sand, the creature murmured quietly.
“For once, I have to agree with you,” Vanora replied, her voice echoed across the rippling water. And for a moment, girl and monster enjoyed the crisp water that slid over Nora’s shoulders and back.
"Vanora Speaks."
The Naga speaking.
