Ready For Anything

Ugh…story writing is killer. The story is terrible (or so I think) it just didn’t want to come out. And I had such high hopes for it…oh well. Anyway this is my first piece for #The-White-December, which I also had high hopes for doing a lot of things with it…but as usually life gets in the way and things just don’t happen. Oh well XD It was a joy drawing Valiant! I loves him to bits and pieces. Also I gave Morrigan a cloak because it’s not everyday you can wear on and she’s out in the middle of now where in freezing temperatures surrounded by snow. I was giving her a cloak!

With the cannon fire still echoing in her ears Morrigan set off. The sun was just starting to rise, the journey laid out before them. The days would be long, riding out for the next few days. Powering through the long snow covered trail. The plan was to start off all on their own, if they got lost they were set up with a map they’d eventually either come across some stragglers or the rest of the group. The plan might even include getting lost for a bit, fighting off the wild. Either way it was going to be an adventure and that was what Morrigan was thirsty for.

For the past three years she hadn’t taken many risks, even if some said climbing on the back of race horses for a living was a risk. It really wasn’t not when you trusted your mount. Or at least that’s how she felt. Besides if something did happen medical personal were within thirty feet, it wasn’t likely she’d die. But out here in the unknown, at least to her, there was nothing. You either protected yourself or you died. Or you could stay with the group. But she had no fear. She had picked a good team of horses, none of which were light weights, they could easily defend themselves as well as her if need be.

She could feel the adrenaline pumping as she felt Valiant kick up snow as he raced through the winter wonderland. It felt like a high speed chase, as they ran through the snow. She was happy she’d decided to use Valiant as her partner the first leg of the journey. He would give her the confidence to carry on, to enjoy this trail for all it was worth. He had been beside her for a long time, through all of her hardships. If anyone could show her that letting loose was good it would be him.

It had been a long time since she’d allowed herself to relax and just enjoy the ride, losing Alex had taken that from her. Life after words had been terrible, for a while she had to hide away. Let everything die down so to speak. Her life now was so different than before.

Her life before horses, before being a undercover agent, it had been the day to day life. She was young and twenty one, she was riding around in a police car giving people tickets, or whatever the call called in. But it was a life of justice and drive. But after everything crashed down, life came to a halt. It was only in the past years that it had started looking up, things started to pick up and throw her into yet another whirlwind.

With a pull of the reins Morrigan was pulled out of her head as Valiant pulled harder, wanting her to focus on the world around her. To stop worrying and just roll with it. “have it your way,” she laughed as she let his head go. Ears flew forward as he let out a happy nicker and let go.
