Picking up a sturdy oak branch which lay on the decay covered forest floor boasting leaves and underbrush, Aleash measured its weight in her right hand. She grinned, showing the pleasure of her find. Her emerald eyes narrowed, setting her complete concentration upon the straightness of the branch as she held it out before her. She shrugged as she opened her eyes fully again. It mattered little if it was straight or not. What she had in mind for the piece would likely turn it into kindling anyway. She just needed it for a little reassurance…and protection.

Looking about the forest with keen eyes that missed nothing, she tossed her thick braided hair over her shoulder, feeling the mass hit her hips lightly. Soft honey colored curls framed her face lovingly, making her appear to be a fallen angel that had lost her wings. Even with the smudges of dirt upon her face and forehead, she looked enchanting, absolutely breathtaking, for her beauty was known far and wide across the lands of Lord Scorpion and beyond. Which was why she stayed within the cover of the woods, knowing any who may see her would try to stop her by order of their lord.

Whistling low, she grinned as the black destrier came into her view and bounded across a nearby stream, sending a waterfall around himself in his haste to get to his lady’s side. Whinnying softly, he came to a stop suddenly and tossed his massive head in her direction, sending his silky mane flowing about his long neck like a banner. He was a true vision, all shiny black, muscled and solid. Just like another whose image swam before her eyes with teasing reality. She shook her head, placing her hands upon her hips, trying to send the provocative image of Scorpion from her mind.

“King Triton, you naughty boy! Where have you been?” She stepped over to him and patted his nose lovingly as she laid her head along the side of his massive face. He smelled of mint and fresh grass as he breathed heavily upon her hand. “Come. Let us not tarry any longer. It grows dark and I wish to be tucked safely away before the sun sets.” She kissed his velvety nose lovingly before she lithely settled herself upon his back, hiking her skirts to her thighs as she guided him through the forest.

With a meager fare of a raw potato and a few wild onions for her evening meal, Aleash laid herself back upon the soft moss covered ground and closed her eyes as she munched on some wild mint. Placing an arm behind her head, she closed her eyes and breathed deeply of the cool night air. It smelled wonderful out here in the middle of nowhere and she loved the solitude it afforded her. She needed this time to gather her wayward thoughts. And her thoughts were of one brutally handsome warrior who she knew would give chase to her upon his return.

She nearly yelped out loud as his face swam into her mind, so real did it look before her.
