Vesper trudges forward, hooves crunching against the crystalline crust with slow, deliberate steps. The white stretches out in all directions, surreal and blinding even under the purple bruise of twilight. His dark coat is streaked with dried sweat, now caked with salt in a patchwork of glistening white along his flanks and shoulders. It itches, but there’s no energy to care. Not really.
His mane and tail, once loose and wild, are now tangled knots—humidity teasing them into clumps, wind twisting them into snarls. Each step lifts a whisper of white dust that tries to cling to his muzzle, his lashes, the hollow of his chest. He doesn’t shake it off. Doesn’t toss his head or snap his tail. There’s no performance left in him right now—just grit, exhaustion, and the quiet conviction to keep going.
And she’s still there, the familiar weight of her against his spine. That, at least, doesn’t itch, or pull, or burn.
