Subject: .x. through the shadows a light must shine .x.

A girl, skinny, and dirty, rode in on her horse. The horse's bronze coat shimmered and he pranced lightly across the cobblestones. The girl dismounted, and poured a small amount of water from a burlap canteen in a dish. SHe held for the horse, who slurped gratefully. The girls dress was cream and plain cotton. She wore a dark hunter green cloak over it. All her clothing seemed to hand off her small limbs. The girl looked maybe 15 or 16, but in reality was twenty something. Her age was not disclosed to her. Spotting the fountain, she carefully poured the remainder of the water back into her canteen. She licked her lips, parched and bleeding, and jogged over to the fountain, pulling her tired horse. Leaning over the edge of the stone water feature, the girl dunked her head, face and hair, into the water. She got several stares, but just combed through her wet hair with her fingers. She splashed water onto her face, and, when clean, you could see her skin was very fair, a creamy complexion in comparison with her startling blue eyes. Her hair had already began to dry in the wretched sun. "I feel it is completely ridiculous I must wear this entire formality of a wardrobe when honestly it is so hot out. I have on three layers, and for once since the mountains, I wish it would snow!!" THe girl said softly to the horse, stroking his neck. Of coarse, here, in the flatlands, it would hardly snow in summer. Absentmindedly the girl devided her hair into two sections and plaited them. Her hair, long and silky, was now woven into two thick ropes. The girl grabbed the reins and mounted quickly, but let her horse continue drinking. "Perhaps this town will remember Aspen..." The girls voice drifted off, and she tucked a small silver chain under her collar. Visible for a moment was a dark red stone, glimmering in the sun.
