Bridge to Terabithia

“It’s a windbreaker” Mortis defended the gesture, a hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, there and gone again. The freezing cold and bitter wind didn’t give him much to smile over. He did, however, withdraw his wing again. Not one to push where he wasn’t welcome.

At his suggestion that Azure double back, the other wolf disagreed. Not losing his pace at Mort’s side. The winged boy shrugged, hoping Azure would turn back if the cold started to sap too much of his strength.

Tucking his wings tightly about himself, he grimaced, and nodded his head. Surprised at how easily his brother said the words. Determined to let old wounds lie, and move on with his life, he didn’t comment. Just like with Hana, he had to pretend none of it hurt him. Perhaps in doing so, it would eventually be truth.

Pulling his thoughts back to the mission, he looked at the ice bridge unfurling before them. Endless and slippery. He looked harder and… there. “Is that a body, half buried in the snow?” he called out to the other boy, pointing right at the beginning of the bridge.
