Carts Before Horses

[sujilicious 173]

The sounds of a large crate marked as “extremely fragile” scraping against the roads could be heard even from within the city of Portoregne.

 

Despite her pleading, Ceru’wyn did not heed Auris’ advice to let the movers relocate her grand piano. Instead, she took to hissing viciously at those that dared bring a digit close to it.
 

Thus, the elf’s self-concocted plight of hauling her most prized possession would busy her for the next week.

Anneliese Vourkehardt would stack her crates onto the cart drawn by her beautiful Vourkehardt Stallion. "Once again... we are moving.." Anneliese frowned slightly, scratching her head. "Will we ever find a permanent home?" Ani questioned to herself, a query with no one around to answer. "Oh well. We stay positive! Off to... to.." She paused.

 

...

 

"..Wait.. where am I going again?" 

 

A pause. Ani pondered. She then looked down at her hand, reading the ink she had written there, now smudged from her sweaty palm. "..Eh. Ill figure it out." She waved a dismissive hand to the air. She mounted her stallion and off she went..

 

 

After awhile of travelling, she looked to her side. And blinked. Then behind her at her full cart. "..Oh.." 

 

...

 

"I forgot mein children." 

 

 

The cart was vacant of any other souls. Just her and the horse. Ani stared off a moment.  Then checked her shoulder again. 

 

 

"...I should probably.." She wagged the stirrups, doing a heavy u-turn as she headed back toward Portoregne.
