Taking a swim (Susan)
« Thread Started on May 20, 2008, 4:48pm »

Daggers dug into the ground as the head of the black stallion bolted along the land. The ground shook as always as this large stallion moved with ease. His name was Thunder due to the saying that he had thunder in his hooves because whenever he ran, you could feel it. His muscles rippled under his pelt as he ran. He was lonley and hot. A good swim would due him good. He slowed down to a smooth trot once he neared the creek and soon slowed into a walk when he could see it.

His mane swayed slightly as along with his tail as he walked. He walked over to the creek. He looked down at his reflection and said "Whoa."He shook his head slightly, a slight chuckle coming from his lips. He took a long drink, the cool water running down his dry throat and into his stomach. He soon put his feet in the creek then laid down to roll his whole body in it. He finally was cooled off. He collected his legs after about a good 15 minutes of rolling in the water and heaved himself to his feet. He looked around, wishing someone was here.

Susan wandered down to the glassy creek for what felt like the thousandth time this week. She just absolutely loved this creek; it was so cool and comforting, and a good place to think or just find privacy for a while. Even as the Old Queen, she was always surrounded by people.

Laying her bow down on the ground and letting her arrows slide gently off her shoulder, Susan slipped out of her boots and got closer to the water. She stuck her toes in and smiled at the relaxing feeling of the gentle water. Susan had been walking around the forest for most of the morning, shooting headless arrows at moving targets. She didn't want to hurt anything, just to practice her aim.

Susan had just shut her eyes when they popped open again at a rumbling noise. It grew louder and whatever it's source was growing closer to Susan. She glanced around, back into the forest, but looked at the creek again when a splash of water hit her cheek. A huge, black horse had thrown himself into the water and seemed to be playing in it. Susan smiled and lifted her skirts up before wading out to join him. By the time she reached his gigantic figure, he had stopped playing and now stood quite still.

"Hello there," Susan greeted the stallion, a bright smile wide on her face.

Thunder's head shot up at the sound. He looked to see Susan and his whole face changed. He wasn't alone anymore. He said " Hello there Susan." He had fought along side of her brothers. It was a great battle and Thunder was proud he had done his job. He slowly pulled himself to his feet, shaking himself off, showering her with water. He looked around, making sure there wasn't any danger, but Thunder didn't care.

Thunder was a quiet horse. He rarely talked unless he was being spoken too. Even then he said short answers. He could feel the water drying off from the rays of the sun but he didn't mind. He had someone to talk too and he wasn't going to just let them walk away without talking to them first. He bent down to take another drink, 17-hands black horse stood in front of Susan. He wasn't sure if she was scared of him or not. No matter what though Thunder never hurt someone he liked.

Susan laughed when Thunder shook himself off and she was eungulfed in a shower of creek water. She pulled her hair back quickly, ringing it off so it dried at least a little bit. If the Queen came back sopping wet, the maids would have an utter fit. Susan didn't mind though; she loved to swim and just be in water.

"How have you been?" Susan asked once she got her hair to a damp form. She looked up at the large black stallion; he had fought side by side with Peter and Ed. Thunder was an incredibly agile and courageous horse and Susan was glad to have him as a friend.

Thunder looked at Susan and said " I've been good. Very lonely." He paused and looked her over. He said " How about yourself?" Pulling himself out of the water he lowered his head to graze. Susan and him were good friends of course whenever they ran into each other. They...well...she was a very busy girl and Thunder wasn't one to be a pest.

He stripped the spot of grass and moved onto another one. His tail swished back and forth as he grazed. He was still interested ni Susan but he didn't really know what to say. He wasn't one to bug people and was a quiet horse. His mane slid down his neck and into his eyes as he kept his head down to graze, waiting for a response from her.

"I'm sorry that you're lonely. I guess I've been kind of lonely too...they don't really need me anymore too much, being the Old Queen and all." Susan agreed, looking down into the water. She tried not to think about that; she always tried to make herself believe that she would always be important to Narnia, no matter how old she got.

When Susan glanced back up, Thunder had gone; but not too far. He was on the shores now, enjoying some grass. After a few minutes, Susan trudged out of the strong waters and sat down in the dry grass next to the stallion, careful not to get in the way of his grazing.

The fact that Thunder was so quiet and reserved, even with a name like Thunder, amazed Susan. He was kind of like herself, she reckoned. She totally didn't mind just sitting in someone's company without talking much, and she doubted Thunder minded either.

Thunder looked at Susan was she spoke, having to bend his neck to the side with ease to look at her. He said " Even an Old Queen is needed Susan. Your child needs you more then anything." He watched as she got out of the water and sat next to him. After filling somewhat of his stomach, Thunder took to her side. With a grunt he laid down and nudged her softly, wanting some attention.

He said " Hey Susan. Want a ride? Too anywhere. Even if it's just around Narnia." Thunder loved to run and most people said that his hooves were filled with thunder because when he ran, the ground shook and the beats were loud. Therefore giving him the name Thunder. Even though he wasn't loud himself it was the way he ran. Smooth, easy and with grace. A good horse for anyone.
