The sun was sitting low on the horizon, casting red, orange and pink hues across Onea as it made it’s slow descent and night began to creep ever closer. Despite the time of day being somewhat late Skeldr was bustling; lanterns hung from brilliantly adorned merchant stalls, illuminating the streets whilst War-forged horses swiftly busied about their evening. There were medic carrying their supplies home, raiders making rounds or talking with friends and merchants calling out to potential customers.
Skye’s audits were used to the low hum of noise as she made her own way home, the sound oddly comforting even if she preferred the quiet of her mountain camp. The grey femme had finished a day of training with the other Valkyries, her muscles aching and her body bruised and even cut in some places but her heart and mind were satisfied as she finally got to do what she loved. She could easily remember the day her father came home to tell her that she had been selected as a Valkyrie, she had assumed he was still mad at her for embarrassing him in front of their leader but in fact he had petitioned to have her trained. A fond and proud smile danced across her lips as the memories swirled to the forefront of her mind, hooves picking up slightly higher and steps accented by a slight bounce as happiness washed over the teenager. It was not often that she felt truly happy, the shadows lurking constantly at the back of her mind meant that any smile on her lips or sparkle in her eye was a mask to hide what really lay behind blue eyes. However today as the pain from hours of sparing and physical activity pulled at her muscles she felt oddly joyful.
The dull roar of town centre began to recede; the stalls, buildings and tents becoming more and more sparse as she made her way to the edges of Skeldr town. Here there was far less equines passing her on the well-worn roads, though she paid little attention to them anyway, preferring to keep much to herself.
