Julian's Point Of View

I ran galloping through the snow. My hooves running so fast.

I'm in deep thought as I run. Why am I trying to get this to her? Why do I feel I had to impress her she is the enemy!

I'm pulled out when I hear a scream. The scream sounded like a girl. I ran faster taking an arrow out of the quiver and knotting it on the string. I run faster then I ever have before.

I get to clearing and saw Luna with her hair falling out of her braid. A huge Griffin that has wings big enough to block out the sun. Luna has a little knife made of twine. Pointing it at the giant bird.

I watch in amusement as she tries to look intimidating. I chuckle lightly before I decide to finally help her. I lift my bow up and pull the string back. I close my left eye to get a accurate shot.

When my arrow is in line with my target I let go. The Arrow cuts through the air. It hits its target perfectly in the wing. The black griffin screeches in pain and yells
"This won't be over centaur! You may be the guard of Glacies but your going to pay on the great lord's be half!"
With that he flies away with stripes of blood marking his pitch black wings.

I look over and see Luna on the ground with wide eyes from shock. I galloped over to her and just as I got there she jumped off the ground and into my arms. I was surprised but quickly covered it and wrapped my arms around her back.

I didn't notice she was crying till my shoulder was soaked. I rubbed her back said sweet nothings.

I don't know why I felt the need to comfort her she's an enemy and I keep saying that to my self but it never works. I keep having to care for her one way or another. But of course I would never admit that to her.

Once she was done she kept apologizing. I have no clue what she's apologizing for I finally ask.

"Luna why are you apologizing?"

She looks up at me with tear stained cheeks.
"I'm sorry, I'm so weak that you had to come and save me from a stupid griffin bird my dad sent to get rid of me and then I lost my mothers only possession I have. And I'm having feelings for you and I need to kill my dad! My day has gone down hill I can't take it any more!"

I grab her wrists and bring them to my shoulders. She needed to take a break and breath. While she was calming down sobs turning into hiccups I was in deep thought staring at her. She is so beautiful and she said she has feelings for me. Do I feel the same? Yes. But now is not the time to say that to her.

After she is calmed down I reached into my pocket on the quiver to get the ring. Luna watched me with careful brown eyes now puffy from crying.

"Your anything but weak Luna and saving you wasn't a regret. I would do it every time if it meant to see you again." I look down at the silver ring in my hands. I play with it nervously and hand it over to her. She looks up at me with wide eyes and says,
"Thank you." In a small voice that bearly came out as a whisper. "How did you find it?" She looks up at me again and I can't help but smile again.

"Let's just say good thing Glacies put me on clean up. " I chuckle lightly.

She smiles but it turned to a frown as she began to speak. "I have to go. Good bye Julian." She says and turns and walks away. I run up the her and say.
"Let me walk you back to Mare's. It's a long journey and I don't want you doing it alone. "

She looks and me and smiles quickly before she disguises it with a blank expression.
"I don't know Julian. Glacies needs you and I'm just an abandoned girl. You don't need to worry about me." She turns to walk away again. I won't let her get away that easily.

I run to her and pull her up on to my back she gasps but grabs onto my waist and I say. "Glacies can survive without me she has her Nix's to watch her."

She laughs as I start to run towards Mare Equo's pond.

"What is a Nix?" She asks

"It's a penguin that over looks over activities in the snow kingdom." I say back.

I hear her mumble and okay, and I start running again.  She rests her head on my shoulder as I continue to run.

Good I think to myself she is getting comfortable around me. I'm determined win her heart and to leave my player ways behind me.

I continue to run both of us lost in our thoughts.
