Warmth of the fire was a welcomed sight. Immediately she freed Ghost of his bridle, saddle started rubbing him down. There was some grain and corn he ate while Raven allowed her mind to travel. The days travel had gotten to her in many emotions.
Being raised as a runner, was all she knew. Crossing the lines of time. Trying to capture information that the Council so eagerly wanted. Her brother had shared that the council was getting more, adamant. Something was up. Whispered in her ear just before dying to run and not come back this time.
Ghost was rubbed down, full from the grains. His eyes went into sleep mode. As Raven saw to the duties she needed to prepare for the final trek. Her mind realized she had just turned twenty-one all alone. Looking at Ghost made her smile, he had been with her for a long time.
Sitting by the fire she loosened her braids, standing up she bent over. Her long thick hair came cascading onto the ground. Standing back up straight her hair flew in a water fall effect of sheer beauty. Framing her face she was beautiful. Sitting back down she allowed her mind to think of the Indian Village she was going to.
When the mountain closed the thunderous sound was a water fall of immense portions. It always made her and Ghost to bow their heads. The azure blue sky brings tears to her eyes. The clouds are billowy, whiter than a winters snow. The grass is emerald green, flowers shooting high, bright colors. Sprinkling their path, was white rocks as translucent as a fine pair of pearls.
Normally she was met by an honorable Brave. This trip would be different she would make the journey to their land, alone. Coming over the rise she could hear the children laughing, see them running. Most of the women would be cooking or laundry in the pool of blue. Always fire burning, scents of cooking meals always made her hungry. She never knew such wealth of beauty anywhere but there.
Most of them she had met. One woman was toothless but she could smoke a pipe, talk at he same time. That pipe stayed lit, and never fell out. It caused Raven to smile. So many women, so many children. The chief would be just arriving back from a hunting party.
That's when he came to her mind. They called him Hawk. A minute to glance and she never forgot his sheer, rugged handsome face. Dark as molasses, brown eyes like a deer. His hair was braided but reached to his waist. His thighs were like granite.
