She's turning Blue; Zephyr, Any

[Longclaw]

-I close my eyes, Ignore the smoke-

He’d been perfectly happy with two, hadn’t needed a third, hadn’t wanted a third.

But what we want and what we need usually never go hand-in-hand. Zephyr, the pale mare who’d washed up on shore, the one he’d found instead of his lioness - she’d gotten to him. Nicked a sliver of his skin off and slipped right underneath his blue hide, where she’d nestled firmly and awoken the fire inside. Her place in his thoughts and in his troupe comes from her unique hard-headedness; Zephyr had hunted him down and convinced him to look at her from another angle.

The first to ever have done so.

Today, though, the memory of their night together rolls sweetly against his subconscious like warm waves tickling a shore. The mixture of fire and ice, of virginity paired with the desire to be devious, had been good enough for them to wordlessly create a pact. There’d be no more Krigare in his Dragoness’ future - she could lay her fears on Claw’s broad shoulders, now. No more wondering if she’d spend her hours alone, no more questioning her place in this world. Like the volcano that loomed ever-present against the backdrop of Tephra, Longclaw would always be here for her to come home to.

He’s not patient enough for that right now. Instead he switches skins (shuddering, shuddering at the feel of its wrongness on his bones) and lopes over flat grassland and through knotted woods as a silver-gray wolf, nose sweeping from side to side as he distinguishes one smell from another. His whiskers quiver in excitement when he comes across a few strands of moon-pale hairs, snagged firmly in a tangle of thorns: It’s her, his Zephyr.

The gangly wolf picks up speed and continues, knowing soon enough he’ll come across her. The island was only so big, after all, but with surprise the trail leads him out of the brush, over the dunes, and finally down to the shore where the ocean lapped gently at his paws. Feeling his urgency rise, Longclaw shifts back to stallion (relief, sweet relief) and wades into the sea without a backwards glance. He swims until the mainland catches him, and then he’s off again - through the field and into the shadowy Forest where her old trail seems stronger.

“Zephyr?” The warg calls, a throaty command for her to appear if she could hear him.

@[Zephyr] I filled in a bit of blank space, timeline-wise, but if you want anything changed in here let me know!

When it’s said and done, we’ll have our scars to show

There was something about him.



He was intriguing, the blue stallion. His words and his actions captivated her, his body haunted her. Their night beneath the stars, the night she lost her virginity, was something she would never forget. She couldn't quite put her finger on what about him had drawn her in, but now she was there, and she was his, and that's all that seemed to matter anymore.



She knew he had others, although she did not care. She had seen his ghost girl, had seen his lioness, but neither of them mattered to her. All that mattered was that she was his dragoness, and he would protect her.



But Deimos had led her to the forest, where he had dug his claws into her skin. Blood trickled down her face, staining her ivory cheeks. She shouldn't have come here, she shouldn't have let the demon lead her here. He had let her go, for now, but soon she would have to face the consequences of allowing him to lure her in.


She wanders the forest aimlessly, face throbbing violently. She is tired (so tired), her body aches with restlessness. She falls against the sturdy branch of a nearby tree, chest heaving. The muscles beneath her skin feel as though they're burning. For the first time in a very long time, she is scared.


"Zephyr?" Almost as if by a miracle, she hears his throaty baritone. Relief floods her senses, and for a moment she gains the strength to approach him.


"Claw," She speaks breathlessly, staring longingly at him. He is here, does that mean she's safe...?
