| The clobbing noise rendered the air of the forest, alerting the forest creatures of something or someone approaching. Soon the nose of a dove grey war horse appeared in view, sending animals scurry for cover at the impressive sight of the lone man guiding the horse. By the way he sat the saddle, he was an experienced rider, flowing with the horse movements in that lulling lullaby. Minus the helm of his armor, the head piece was dented far to much to fully fit his head within it's confine. Long hair graced his back, dancing against the scratched up armor he war. From afar his hair looked nearly blackish but in truth when the sun hit it in a certain manner, one could truly see the rich maghony color it held. A lone traveler back from the wars, keeping his promise to his childhood love. Smoldering black eyes peer straight, dreaming inwardly of the one he so desperately wanted to see, hoping to crush her in his arms once again in the same fashion they did when he departed. The stone at his throat, bobbed against his flesh revealing the symbol craved within the hard surface. Only three lines, one straight horizontal with two other lines dangling from the edges, the first longer than the rest. Years have made him stronger, faint darkening on his chin indicating a day's growth of facial hair. His broad nose flaring as the scent of the forest welcomed him. One hand moved away from the reigns, trusting the horse not to dislodge him from the saddle, he reached beneath that platted black armor that was no longer smooth and shiny. Out he brought a lock of hair that he had always kept by his heart, he brought it up to his nose hoping Fuego's scent still clung to it to him it did even over the seven years apart. Her essense drove him onwards, giving him the will to continue on in the fighting, braving death at every turn."I did promise you Fuego I would return back to you.. and it seems I kept my word to you ... like aways.." His words soft yet deep as his whispered vow was directed infront him as the village came into view.: |
