you won’t see me fall apart
The end of autumn was upon them, with the leaves straining against the weight of their death, falling humbled to the ground. Thorunn crunches over them without a thought to their carcasses, focusing only on the sound of her breathing. Just as father taught her - focus. Close your eyes, listen to the earth, listen to yourself. Is that the shuffle of a step? Is that the misplacement of a hoof? Weaknesses - find them, sort them out.
Use them.
There's no opponent here, just the sweating chestnut with the orange eyes heaving herself into a series of drills. She leaves Tephra for this, choosing to stay well outside its walls while yet another power struggle happens. She's so young, but already so over the constant power struggles that always topple Beqanna. It's a pyramid, where each races to the top only to find the air too thin and the space too sparse. Before long they topple down down down.
She's over it.
She paces, sprints, turns on a dime, makes the most of her drills. Backs up, throws her head, feints. Anything she can think of to trick her non-existent opponent. Meanwhile her muscles, a little larger than your average for a mare, ripple beneath her coat.
This she knows: she won't sit around and wait for something to happen.
