Lore:
The soft click of hooves against stone fills the grimy hall, broken occasionally by a splash into a puddle. The water stains the fur near her hooves, but it doesn’t bother her as much as it did before. She can always wash it off later. Iris tilts her head upwards as she makes a turn, exiting that wretched hallway. Her delicate wings spread out automatically as she leans further towards the sun, basking in its glow. The clouds are thick today, a reminder of where she could’ve been. In the sky, with her family. Soaring amongst those same clouds, feeling the wind on her face whenever she wanted, instead of trudging around in muddy water. Her wings twitch.
This is the first time she’s seen the sun in a month.
She yearns to fly, but her wings won’t work. It’s too windy today.
She walks heavily to her home. It’s a small place, enough for her. The door squeaks closed behind her as she lies down on her carpet. Her gaze firmly avoids the clunky, gaudy necklace on the wall.
“Grandia’s 62nd Lake Warden.”
She despises her job.
Her head tucks under her front hoof as she closes her eyes, wishing she’d be able to sleep. The rays of sun which she was delighting in mere minutes ago now seems like her greatest enemy. She just wants to dream of a reality where she could fly, where she didn’t give up her wings for a single day of glory followed by a lifetime of living away from the sky. She flicks her tail, burrowing deeper into her leg as she drifts to sleep. She forgot to wash her hooves, but she doesn’t care anymore.
