Simple Pleasures

Obsidian

Sleek black hide twitched under the tickling irritation of flies, before a thick, wavy black tail flicked over the muscular haunch the fly crawled upon. A hind hoof stamped, feathering flipping, before the large black mare took a slow, small step forward, hungry teeth cropping the lush green grass. The dips at her temples pulsed in time with her grinding molars as they made short work of her breakfast.

Obsidian was at the prime of her years at her age, while the wolves she knew were growing old already. Unlike the canines, she had years to come ahead of her, and would possibly meet every one of them with a strong, sleep body. The thought of losing her friends was a painful one, but she would be around to guard Cormalin and Eranis children, and then their children. Around her, elk grazed peacefully for now. They had no qualms about her grazing near them, though they stamped their feet and called nervously whenever she came upwind of them, as the wolf scent on her equine body unnerved the prey animals.

The mare shook her head roughly, sending the pestilential flies buzzing away, heaving mane and forelock flipping this way and that, before she gave a long snort and raised her head, unusual blue gaze scanning the elk herd, and the valley around them as she ambled to the river, wading chest deep to the center, face dipping into the water, head tossing in an accentuated nodding motion. It never really took much to entertain her.
