Marekna
She crouched on the boulder, down below was the one she'd been searching for, she could feel it in her heart, but he was unaware of her soft presence, going about his life under her watchful gaze. " And I don't want the world to see me...  Cause I don't think that they'd understand..." The tender lyrics were scarcely above a tearful whisper.  She was terrified that he'd hear her, see her, and scorn her.   "When everything's made to be broken... I just want you to know who I am... But I'm so afraid..".  A lone tear trickled down her golden cheek, long years of working in the fields with her brothers and father as well as long nights practising with weapons had hardened her to everything but him.  When she did unveil herself, well, he would be her only master.  She tilted her head when that small dragon fluttered to her shoulder, nuzzling against her strawberry blonde hair.  Her lips quivered gently as she tried to fight back the tears for good, but it wasn't working out so well.  Her dark amber eyes leaked tears as she straightened gently.  "Someday I'll show you my love, someday you'll see me for more than a passing face.."The dark leather gave soft protest to her movement, but she didn't listen to the noise.  She had to go prepare a camp and a way to approach her lord.  She had to, before it was too late, besides, he'd already made his camp and was fast approaching sleep, if she found a spot nearby she could be awake before him and ready to leave in an instant.  "You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be..  And I don't wanna go home right now..." It was a soft whisper to herself, having picked up and left her family so suddenly, her father thought she was mad, her brothers all thought she was joking, and her mother, her poor mother had been sobbing as she left, begging her to stay.  She shook off the memories and snapped for her horse, the massive buckskin warstallion walked towards her, the only tack upon him was basically a halter with reigns.  She didn't need more than that. "Good boy Eclipse, tomorrow we'll be doing less, maybe I'll even find a nice place to board you up, until then boy, stay with me." Moments later she was lying beside the stallion, using his warmth as her blanket and his flank as her pillow
