Suddenly, Zeik understands Makai’s torment. The stallion and his emotions had seemed so alien to him at first, but now everything was clearer. With Felinae pressed against him Zeik cannot think of another, more comforting sensation. But still the thoughts of her being ripped away from him sink into his mind. If it ever came to pass that she were gone from his life, Zeik would more than likely find himself in the same situation as Makai. Tormented and alone. So he holds her close in these moments and takes nothing for granted.
When her fine head pulls away Zeik looks at her curiously, eyes roaming the length of her girlish face while she lets his offer sink in. He nods happily, feeling incredibly whole at this moment in his life. She cannot believe he would offer such a thing. He cannot believe that she would accept. But with her approval comes the weight of his promises - to love her, care for and protect her. He’d never had responsibility over another being, and Felinae is not just any old mare. She’s worth his life, and he’ll do his best to keep her happy and satisfied.
Her break from his side has him shaking with laughter, and her delicate show of energy has him feeling coltish himself. His forefeet dance, tail lashing impatiently at his hocks while she celebrates. He only settles when she presses her skin to his again, inhaling him. Then, he’s incredibly tender, nose quivering along her outstretched neck. Her promise to him makes him close his eyes, and Zeik drinks in every aspect of this very moment in time, forcing himself to remember it all. When he opens his eyes again, she’s waiting, still achingly close.
His dark eyes flash and he smiles mischievously. “Let’s fly, little bird.” And then he’s gone, transformed into his falcon shape. He stretches out his wings and lifts himself, hovering for a moment until she can join him. From there, the two won’t look so strange, and they’ll make a rapid journey to a new land. One where he and Felinae will never be alone again.
Everything we are and used to be is buried and gone
