Gentle Giant

[León Austral]

Leon is sleeping XD

In dreams he could escape, and run once more as the man he had used to be, in his dreams he had never changed from the carefree boy struck dumb with a love for the same aged princess he served. The multi hued almost woman with those striking violet eyes. Their meeting had been chance, completely directed by the fates that dictated they had both traveled to that pond on the same day at the same time. The Italian royalty had been intrigued by him and he by her from that moment their eyes met, snow white and amethyst purple. Their relationship had been fraught with danger, a lowly farm boy cavorting about with the queen to be, had they been discovered he would have been put to death for treason.

So in his dreams the male escaped from his life, his earthen colored head and back resting against the gouged bark of a tree, massive paws folded over a chocolate chest that expanded and contracted slowly and deeply. At his side, his forever loyal black mare stood grazing peacefully in the afternoon air.

Loneliness, something she was feeling. It clung to her like an itch you just couldn't reach, growing worse and worse no matter how hard you tried to ignore it. It ate at her mind the second she left the comfort of what she called home, she had seen no one and found that not having a companion to be unbearable. She missed the few months she spent in her home, having someone to comfort her from her nightmares. To sooth her pains, and wipe away her tears. Every day she missed it all, thought that maybe she should go back.

Today was no different, she thought of Luanna as she picked a few apples and placed them in her gray clothed bag. It was her mother's specialty to make sweet pastries with just a few apples, humming a soft lullaby as she made them. Oliver shook her head as she tried to rid all the memories from her mind, she needed to not wander with her head full of thoughts. She could wander into someone home and not even know it when she was in such a daze.

A sigh escaped her lips as she sniffed the air to see were she was but like usual she was clueless, but someone was close and that was enough to make her push onward. She needed company, needed to scare off the loneliness. Dark colored paws moved quietly as she found herself near a tree that held up a sleeping man, she did not wish to wake him. She knew how her brother acted when awoken before he wished, it was not pretty. Oliver smiled as she moved to the rather giant mare that was grazing close by, "Hey girl, want an apple?" She asked with a soft voice of an angel, moving closer as she rummaged through her back pulling out an apple and offering it to the black horse. A glass jar of herbs fell from the bag and rolled to the strangers foot, lightly knocking against it.
