I WALK WITH SHADOWS

She maneuvered along the bank of the winding river, metallic eyes never once wavering from the depths of the ominous waters as she attempted to pinpoint an area with a gentle current that wouldn?t swoop her away off into the nether. Although the traitor?s blood was adorned like a trophy upon her tainted coat, she had been in enough brawls to know that the wounds she had received during combat would need to be cleansed before they were complicated any further with infection, so the removal of her crimson robe was inevitable. She halted near the water?s edge as she found a comfortable area to plunge beneath, but before she could launch into the depths of the river, the sound of flapping wings alerted her to the presence of the massive bird that had offered her words of encouragement at the start of her fight. Her muzzle inclined in the direction that the bird seemed to be coming from, her pupils tracking his gargantuan figure as he glided overhead, causing her neck to crane at on odd angle while her gaze followed him. Finally, he took his land a few feet away from where she had rooted herself, peculiar rhymes sputtering from his beak in an attempt to please her. A smirk presented itself across her countenance as the creature?s speech concluded, amusement evident in her expression. ?Morphine,? she obliged his request softly, gaze flickering back to reside upon the flowing waters of the river before her muzzle extended down towards it, tongue lapping at the water to quench the thirst she had accumulated over the course of the battle. Once her thirst was sated, she drew back to her full apex, allowing her attention to fully focus upon the bird. ?Did my gift appease you, bird??
