The Arbiter of the Gods
"You know I hate you," said the man. "You're a burden. You're slow, you can't fight. Hell, I should have abandoned you long ago."
The wind howled out the rest of the rant, perhaps for the better of both of them.
The woman adjusted her cloak slightly, and replied coolly;
"Well look what we have here, a true man, running from the poorest of bandits but insulting a woman he himself wanted to free."
The man grumbled an unpleasant response, but once again the wind censored what he had to say.
They walked on in silence for some time, snow sticking to the cavalry jackboots of both of them. They only had two horses, both died eventually in the cold... At least they made a nice dinner later, and the pair wasn't about to go hungry any time soon.
"Dorian... we should stop," the girl shouted in the strong wind. "Dorian?!"
Dorian just about seemed to have noticed her talking, and he turned around to walk backwards with a smirk.
"Why, Elera, not used to some fre-" that's as far as he got, before tripping on a root of a tree and falling over with curses.
The girl gave an elegant laugh, before helping him up.
"A true man indeed," she said, and laughed again at yet another poem built up of curses.
They eventually decided a small camp would be in place. Together they found some ever so slightly dry twigs and lit them, having built a short wall made of snow to protect the camp from the wind.
Elera sat back and took off the large, furry cap off with a slight smile of relief, letting her blond hair fall to her shoulders. The man watched the ritual of adjusting the hair with slight lack of understanding, fully aware that she'll have to put the cap back on soon. He prepared the dried horse meat and they had a meal.
"You eat like a pig, you know that?" Elera said, looking at Dorian. "You give a new meaning to eating a horse..."
The man looked up at her with negative passion.
"At least I was brave enough to cut into the horses, unlike you, screaming and crying like a little girl, though fully aware those beasts have no place in Heaven, amongst our Lord and his angels."
The girl turned slightly red, but decided not to comment. They soon went to sleep.
