The light that shines so bright.
Oh hell yeah, she was mad, angry, fuming. Turning into a little devil herself. But you couldn’t entirely blame her for that, Gyps thought she had every right to behave like this. Well, maybe it was a little over the top, but who wouldn’t be if your freedom and future were stripped away from you? She literally didn’t own her own life anymore, because no, she now belonged to Archam. Like a toy he could use and dispose in whatever way he wanted. All because her mother couldn’t bear to live a year with him. That didn’t sound like the strong mother, the Golden Plain’s alpha mare, she knew and to Gyps it was a sore disappointment.
”Sure leave and leave me here like this. Dear lord, you sure take the easiest way out!” she snaps after him, hoof stomping the ground underneath her feet. The winged mare has her ears pinned backwards and even from afar it probably would be clear that she was fuming, like the thunderclouds that were almost visible above her head. Gyps is trembling, both out of anger, but there is also some frustration, grief and hurt feelings that help her to her current state. She’s lonely, almost lost even, and feels so terribly small. Not that she would show that, so instead she carries her head high and wings neatly folded at her side.
She was just about to dip her head towards the creek, to lessen her thirst, when she hears him. ”What?” she snaps, ears pinned back and teeth bared as she turns to face him. However, it hadn’t been Andras that she had expected to see, because Gyps had honestly thought that Archam had come back for her. She stares at him, blankly, for a couple of seconds. What the heck was Andras doing here? Had he come to safe her? But how had he known of this, she hadn’t spoken to him about it. But then she realises what he had said. His father’s lands. This was his home.
As she steps back, her hind legs moving into the water, her wings unfold slightly and her head drops a bit. Without really meaning to she takes a defensive pose and she would’ve growled like a feline if she had been able to. ”Does it look like I’m here for fun?” As she answers his question her voice is laced with venom, even some hatred. Of course she thinks that he had known, that he had been send out towards her to keep an eye on her, because in Gyps’ mind that clearly sounds like something Archam would do. What else stallion would otherwise to forcefully take another without giving that being a chance to decide its own future? Andras was probably just as bad.
