gaza
He’s not the only one that could use something to do; Gaza is just bored out of his mind. He’s run out of self amusing things to do. If this is adulthood, and always needing something to do… well it effing sucks. The Desert is too quiet, and it gives him the creeps. All that empty space and sand, and no one to fill it. Well, he supposes they’re out there, somewhere. But the Desert is so vast and wide, it could easily swallow a pony up and spit them back out again, years later, as long as they knew where the water was.
It’s kind of a sobering thought. A driving thought - pushing Gaza out of the Desert and towards companionship. Again. Whatever happened to Eld and whatever child they made? It’s his first, he’s naturally curious. I mean the act itself seemed to come to him naturally enough, right? But the after part was probably a little awkward as they parted ways… and he hasn’t seen her since. Gaza doesn’t really know what he’s supposed to do in this situation, but Yael is being obnoxious and wants to meet her grandchild. Gaza should start being a good parent and get on that… so out of the Desert he goes.
The Meadow is growing crowded again, as the weather cools and being back out in the open is comfortable again. He no longer has to linger beneath trees to simply keep from passing out in the heat. The dark, glossy (because a man shouldn’t be shiny) stallion may look like his sire, but he doesn’t have the noble, warrior spirit that made Vanquish so beloved. He is the last son, and one in a trio; unless they were chasing camels, he fell into the background and against his magical mother’s side. No one here knows him, no one knows the legacy he is supposed to uphold and all the pressure he puts on his immortal shoulders. Gaza has all the time in the world to grow up, and so he doesn’t. He’s ok with that, and no one’s really (in so many words) told him to do so otherwise. So Gaza flirts and he lazes and works when he feels like it. If it weren’t for his once-royal bloodlines, he’d be a nobody.
Let’s rephrase that. He is a nobody. But maybe it is that exact same carefree nature and boyish attitude that is so attractive.
