Guardians.

I thought it was supposed to be a horse..

Robyn Logan.

Robyn took logans lesson today, so she decided to help logan with finding and riding a horse, so they were out in the spring forested area and walking around, "when you choose your horse.. well it's not really our choice to be completely honest the horse chooses you, you have bonded with them, it's a way for you to communicate with each other like my wings mirror my wards and I's connection... your horse will mirror yours and their connection."

Logan noticed her voice trail as she spoke about the connection between wards and guardians.

Since logan discovered that Robyn was their guardian he noticed that many things made much more sense, how she knew where to find logan and Patton to begin with, why she was sent to take sam back to home out of all the other guardians here, she knew of sam through her connection with both Patton and himself. The reason for Patton's colours, him having baby blue wings and arm tattoos and the glow in his eyes and also logans eye glow colour: navy blue. The white is Robyn while the two blues are her wards.

Logan nodded listening to Robyn explain how the others connection to an animal is vital for an elf "elves are more fight at a distance so if they get surrounded they usually use their steed to get them out of that dangerous area to somewhere safer." Logan reached up to where he could summon arrows from making one appear, looking at it intently now understanding the draw to the bow and arrow clearer.

Elves like to distance themselves so they take calculated shots to hit a target, analyzing the field to be of better help in a fight. Logan surmised in his head. He saw Robyn turn away just as her eyes flashed blue and a small smile on her face.

"You don't need to turn away Robyn, I don't mind the colours your eyes flash when I learn something or feel a certain way, in a way it is comforting and encouraging." Logan says seeing Robyn tense up and looks at him nervously, "y-your not mad?" Logan smiles "no.. I'm not, more relieved than anything, it means I had gotten to know my guardian and knew them before I felt an obligation to because of who you are," he says carefully.

She looked away thinking, "really?"  He nods "really."  They walked silently together, "are you going to tell Patton?" Logan shakes his head without even considering it, "no, Thomas told me to let you do what you needed to, to tell him." She giggled "yeah I heard about that, sorry... Thomas can be a little overprotective of erm us I guess." She says awkwardly, logan shrugs "at least someone's been looking after you since you've been here"

They made it to a clearing and logan looked around, all the clearings they've been to have been absolutely stunning with flora and fauna as far as the eye can see which has been giving him inspiration for his own gardens back at their home.

She saw logans reaction and smiled taking him to the centre of the clearing and sitting underneath the tree there, "what are we doing?" Logan asks she hums lying on the grass, "waiting for your steed to come and sweep you off your feet. What do you think we're doing?" Robyn states closing her eyes.

Logan sat quietly looking around the clearing for a horse to come trotting out the woods at any moment, Robyn had fallen asleep half an hour or so ago and there was still nothing, so logan sighs and moves out from under the shade to walk around restless.

Logan was on his third round of looking at the flora when he heard a sound but looking around there was nothing.  When he turned back to the plants he was studying,  a large white horse was there, it had big, intelligent, electric blue eyes with a navy blue, black and purple mane the tail was similar. The one thing that stood out to logan was the horn on the top the horses head decreeing the 'horse' a unicorn instead. It neighed as logan looked at it with astonishment, He let out an air of shock as the elegant being observed him.

There was a sound of steps behind him "seems like you've found your steed logan" she says a smug smile on her face. She reached a hand out for the unicorn to smell, it did so and shook its mane then allowed her to run her hands through the silky smooth hair. Logan stared at the two as they interacted Robyn beckoned for him to do the same stopping the Pets she was doing causing the horned horse to get a little upset by the stomp of its hoof, and a sassy look in its eyes.

Logan hesitated "i-i thought it was supposed to be a horse," logan says carefully and the two exchange looks, seems to have a conversation without him, logan would bet if the unicorn wasn't smirking he would eat his shoe. Robyn takes a breath to stop herself from possibly laughing, "you're not wrong, but also... your wrong." Logan frowned confused at that statement, "this is your steed which chose you, for an elven it can be a horse to a buck to a unicorn all the way to a pegasus. So I only used a horse as an example to explain what an elven can have. That is my fault, sorry"

Logan slowly nods understanding Dawns in his eyes, "ok... so you're my steed?" The majestic beast raised its head to look at logan, he smiled at them and held his hand out and it nudged his hand on its snout, a small glow came from logan and the horses' eyes. Robyn was watching this happen to smile gently, "do you have a name for her?" She asks patting the unicorns back.

Logan looks further into their eyes trying to read them,  "Saffiya" he says softly the horse nikkers and steps closer nuzzling and smelling logan. "I think she likes it," Robyn says gently it moves away and does a stop with their front hoof Robyn smiles understanding what they wanted, "logan.. wanna ride her to base? I think she wants to show off her elf" the horse whinnied in response bunting logan which made her laugh as he stumbled back slightly.

He considered it and looked at the back, "it would be more comfortable than walking, and quicker." She added "there's no saddle" logan says she huffs so does Saffiya doing the equivalent of an eye-roll "you doofus you don't need a saddle to ride her! She knows where to go you just hold on!" She says already having her wings showing, logan sighs knowing that both of them won't say no.

"Fine... how do I get on?"

And that is how logan got to where he is now, holding onto the unicorn's mane as they canter through the forest Robyn following, after some time of sitting on her bareback logan now felt like if there was a saddle it would be wrong and uncomfortable. Logan's hand was gently tangled in the horse's mane only to keep him balanced, they got to last clearing and Robyn shout something logan couldn't understand for where she was far away since she flew ahead. Safiya knew oh god she did, logan noticed her muscles tense up and a whisper in his mind told him to hold on for dear life, so he did, leaning down and tightening his grip on her name a little more and around the stomach.

In seconds she was off, like an arrow shot out of logans bow running towards her target, the air blowing through logans hair was amazing and fresh he laughed slightly at how nervous he was to run on this amazing creature but now, now he knew they'd be careful, Safiya slowed down getting to the camp and he dismounted carefully.

"How was it?" Robyn asked eyes glowing navy, logan was strangely breathless "she's amazing," he says there was a nikker from saffiya which logan could only guess was her going, 'oh I know logan'.
