winter wonderland
Ruinam settles comfortable below the shelter of the tree and the warmth his brother provides, drawn in by his story of anguish, he listens intently, a trace of sympathy on his face as they both watch the storm slowly fade, his story sounding similar to all the others he had heard before, power leading to a state of no control and a great hunger for more.
The stallion turns toward his brother with a grim expression "I'm sorry that had to happen that way, I never really thought I'd have to consider greed, I have never seen myself that way, though I suppose that is always how it starts" he says quietly, his expression still rather gloomy.
"I am glad you found me, and I am grateful that you took the time to warm me, I will be able to learn and tell the faeries about everything I have been able to learn. Truly, thank you" he says with a smile, watching as his companion darts away, excited by the clearing of the storm.
"Why don't we go for a walk, abandon all these sombre topics and relax, you are on the resort after all and we need to do some catching up" he says with a smile, nudging his brother as he trots forward into the clearing, the storm almost gone as the last few storm clouds wither away.
