Rise.
Fall.
Rise.
Fall.
Roar.
Scream.
Silence.
Roar.
Scream.
Silence.
The rythmic songs and dances of the ocean soothed the pale creature in an amazing fasion. First, it swelled it with joy at watching another magnificent form rise from the crystal waters, then fall. Like a roller coaster. Like life. Then, watching it charge onward, bellowing a great war cry as it was subdued to foam, then shrivled away. The sounds carried a strong magic that drifted through the stallion's white pelt.
Eyes, so distantly sorrowful, were clouded now with a sort of... joy. Not happiness.... hardly even true /joy/. It was simply.... a neutral state of contentment that both strengthened his hopes, and unsettled his past.
Is it right to be happy?
Can I feel joy?
Should I?
Yes.
I want to.
Forgotten Lies moved his pale flints, walking into a trot, dark banner and tassel bouncing with his step as he sunk and rose through the sands.
The memories didn't come at this time, but they did stir him. How was dear Inverted Truth? He hadn't seen his twin in a great time. Since they had arrived on these lands, the other left one night, and since then, both traveled alone. Lies had hoped his brother was finding a decent bandage for what they suffered. He doubted his hopes did any good. Truth's wounds were much larger.... much deeper. Perhaps they only pained more.
But that didn't matter. What mattered to Lies was finding himself something to mend his infectious cuts and bruises. He knew this land was inhabited. He had no desire for his own, but perhaps he could find one to be welcomed in.
Noticing his silence might be rude, he gave a sharp cry to the heavens and sea and jungle, announcing his presence and peace to whatever ear cared to listen.
