Summary: They had passed the greater part of the night crouching with the two frightened mares under a steep overhang of rock, wrapped about with a shrieking turmoil of wind and rain and darkness. Towards dawn the storm had abated a little, and they had pushed on again until long past noon, when they had found a sheltered hollow under the hole of an uprooted pine, knee-hobbled the mares, and crawled under the upreared mass of torn roots, and slept. - from The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff, Chapter 17, The Wild Hunt
Notes: Thank you to
mizufae for the beta and to
sineala for the canon check, you were both so helpful, thank you so much! ♥ I confess that this is my favourite thing I've ever drawn. And I'm not sick of looking at it yet, which is an absolutely new thing for me. Normally I post something and experience a) crushing and b) regret. But not this time. I'm sure it'll come back to me eventually.
