The Witch's Spell
Flint stifled a yawn as he walked down the well-trodden path in the forest, the boughs hanging low overhead under the weight of their own needles. The evergreen pine trees would not shed their needles in winter but continue on, the dead needles only dropping at the end of their lifespan to retain a soft bed for wandering hooves and paws. The cycle would continue through season after season of the trees but it was not something that should concern him, his head thoughtfully bowed against the weight on his shoulders.
It was not something that really should have been on his mind, the usual worries and stresses from his day job grinding him down while he really would have preferred to be in something a little more set aside from the office side of life. Sure, he'd done retail work in earlier years but that wasn't all that enticing either and, well, he'd always thought about being a park ranger or doing something to do with conservation.
A horse could dream, right? And Flint was certainly something of a dreamer with his iron-grey colouring, a black mane and tail striking against the main body of his coat. He turned heads but was quieter by nature, his head in the clouds as he went about his day with too many thoughts in his head and hardly a hoof at all in the hold of reality. Work held him back from that and it was one of the things on his mind, holding him back from what he thought was...well...just something more. He couldn't tell what until he got there.
Little did he know that he was about to get that spark of ingenuity that she so desperately needed.
"Oh!"
The forest was just as it'd always been until it was not, the autumn leaves bursting in a flurry before him. The worn, old needles seemed to have taken on a life of their own for a split second but it was not to be anything so frightening, the form of a vixen rising from the forest floor from where she had been seated, her crimson and orange dress flowing around her legs as if it had been designed to float and drift on ebb and tide of life itself. A smile had already painted itself across her lips, although she did not wear a single flicker of makeup, not needing it in the slightest to accentuate her slender, naturally feminine beauty.
"Oh, my," she said softly, eyes dancing with a violet tint. "I did not wish to startle you. Are you quite alright?"
"What are you doing out here?" He blurted out, eyes wide and staring. "Nobody's usually out here!"
She laughed and shook her head, two large golden hoops in her ears bobbing with the sway and motion of her head.
"No, but that doesn't mean that no one can ever be here," she murmured. "But you... You may just be what I need to help me with my spell!"
Flint blinked and stepped back, holding his paws up.
"Spell? I'm... Well, I don't like this new age..."
But she didn't let him get all of the words out before grabbing his paw, forcing him to sit beside her in a tangle of leg and hoof before he could utter a single word further. The horse yanked his paw away as if it had been burned, although her touch had been nothing but pleasantly warm, the coating of fur on her body thicker than his naturally thin equine coat.
"It'll be easy," she rushed, speaking over him as she smiled soothingly, tail flicking back and forth with that little white tip. "All you have to do is sit here and hold my paw. Just one little smile."
She smiled disarmingly, ears flicking.
"You can do that, right? Just hold my paw?"
Flint scratched the back of his neck even as she took his free paw, warmth spreading through him from that mere touch alone. It was a strange sort of warmth, similar to holding a hot water bottle against one's stomach on a cold, winters night, the glow spreading through him as his own lips broke into a smile and he looked over the fox as if he'd known her for years.
