The Academy: a familiar face in the wrong place

She had become a stranger. Still refusing to return to Ni'Srilan. Barely haunting the woods of Desreal. She had been a ghost. Probably forgotten even. But for some reason she found herself lingering in the academy. A strange place for someone with such a strained mind. Maybe it was comforting to her. Or maybe there was another reason altogether that she felt she needed to be here.

Soon she spotted the familiar mare. The wolf-mare. The mare of the mountains.

The bronze warrior.

In the shadows she tilted her head in confusion. Had something happened? What was Delilah looking for here? Shouldn't she be in the blood stained fields of war?

She hesitated a moment, not going to her straight away. Not embracing one of her only known friends left. If she even still was her friend? Oceantree had secluded herself. Perhaps too much this time. She slowly moved forward, clearing her throat as she did so.

"Delilah?" Maybe it wasn't actually her at all. However, upon closer inspection she was assured it was in fact her long time friend of Andarin. "What are you doing here, Delilah? Has something happened?" She brushed her muzzle gently across the mare's cheek. The touch sparking along her battles. Her mind. Although it was not necessarily so invasive that she couldn't have figured it out just by looking at her. "Why have you stopped fighting?"

Her words were strange sounding to her. Overly soft and caring. Something she hadn't felt in so long. Something she had nearly forgotten. She sighed. Waiting for her friend to reveal her reasons.
