Snippet #2571503

"I will see you again."

Illumina stated, and Morgana nodded, turning away from the girl.

With a smug smile slipping into the corners of her mouth, Morgana began to trudge her way back home. The encounter was short, but something about the girl stuck in her mind. She wasn't sure what to make of it all. Chewing on her lower lip, she met back with her horse, Arthur, who was drinking water from a nearby creek.

"C'mon..." She mumbled, grabbing his reigns and shoving her foot in the saddle as she swung her other leg over. Arthur neighed and shook his head vigorously, and they began a light trot towards the Serion Kingdom.

The ride back always seemed to be shorter than the rides there. As Morgana exited the forest, the kingdom began to fade into her vision. The mountains loomed over the city, as if it were a wall of protection. Morgana watched as smoke billowed from the main town in the basin between all the mountains as the towns people prepared for nightfall. Stars began to come out and play hide and seek between the clouds as the sun set behind the mountains.

Morgana took a deep breath of fresh air and nudged Arthur a bit as they began to ride faster and faster down the small hill towards the main village.
