Hateno Fort, the last bastion against the horde of Ganon’s creations and the Hylian rule. A fabled battle had taken place there, and legends tell of the hero who gave his life to defend the Princess. Link hated the place. It was raining, drizzling really, and he stepped carefully around guardian remains, grabbing the odd bolt or two from the undersides of the automatons. He wandered on foot, his horse, Nocturne, following loyally behind him, reins in hand. Her breath was warm against his hair, a stark contrast to the chilly, damp air around them. The two picked their way through the graveyard of Guardians slowly. Every so often, Link would catch a glimpse, a fleeting image of his past life. None of these stuck, though, his brain seemed fuzzier than ever. …show more content…
The two set off down the road in the direction of Hateno Village. Link decided that he better visit Purah to see if there was any more to be done with the Sheikah slate before returning to Impa. Plus, on a more selfish note, he enjoyed the quiet, thriving life of Hateno Village, and ever since he had purchased a house there, he found himself friends with many of the townsfolk. The promise of his home and his own bed spurred him forward, and another hour passed before he found a safe clearing to camp in for the night. He gathered wood and built a fire before removing Nocturne’s tack and setting his bedroll down on the forest floor. Kneeling down, he smoothed the roll out on the grass, and bunched up one end to make a pillow. Nocturne nickered, and came to stand beside him, and she pushed him with her muzzle. Link turned around to look at his horse, and she took a step sideways, now parallel to the bed roll. Sliding her limbs beneath her, Nocturne laid down protectively behind Link. Laughing softly, he moved towards her to pet her nose in
Robert leaves from London to Waterloo where he rides by train and reaches a town called Magdalene Wood. It is here when he realizes that he has been separated with his bag. Robert is now left without rations, clean clothing, and his gun. Magdalene Wood lies about 12 miles from Bailleul. Robert decides he wants to make it before sunrise so he must walk the remainder of the way. Soon Robert joined two horsemen and rode the remainder of the way.
She then moves on to describe each of the characters, and in doing so, their surroundings and how they fit in: "He was cold and wet, and the best part of the day had been used up anyway. He wiped his hands on the grass and let the pinto horse take him toward home. There was little enough comfort there. The house crouched dumb and blind on the high bench in the rain. Jack's horse stood droop-necked and dismal inside the strand of rope fence, but there wasn't any smoke coming from the damned stove (28)."
The castle is as inviting to her as it had been to her father. The Beast is welcoming and not the ogre that she had originally thought he would be. Slowly as time goes by, they develop a bond of companionship...
“There was only a girl walking with him now, her face bright as snow in the moonlight…”
The Mother is among a family of four who lives on a small farm and takes immense pride in what interests her, however her passion does not particularly lie in her two children; James and David; nor in her husband and their interests; but instead lies within her chickens. Though chickens bring the most joy to the Mother, they are not the sole animals that live on the farm. The animal that draws the most interest from the father, James and David is their horse, Scott. At a young age, Scott was used as a working mule for the family and grew up alongside the Father and two Sons. To the father, Scott was like one of his own sons, and to James and David, Scott was like their brother; but according to the Mother, “He’s been worthless these last few years”(Macleod, 267). Ever since Scott was young, he was a burden on the Mother’s lifestyle; she never took a liking to the horse even when he served as a source of profit for the family. The Mother had never appreciated the sentimental value that Scott possessed because he had never been a particular interest to her. Once Scott had aged and was no longer able...
Whether you are a service member, a spouse or a child living the military lifestyle there are complexities that a civilian may not know how to relate to. The military fortress described by Hall (2008) is not just the physical community service families live in or the lifestyle, but is also the mental and psychological aspects. There are many aspects that make up the fortress such as secrecy, stoicism, and denial. Besides those three behavioral parts of the fortress, there are common positive and negative aspects of the military lifestyle that touch many different parts of life, overlapping each other.

As I crept out of the window around a quarter to midnight, I ran to the barn to saddle Chestnut. I had to be very quiet so the master would not be disturbed. My pockets were filled with potatoes and bread. Although I was hungry and could smell the aroma of the freshly cooked bread from the night before, I knew I needed to lead the horse out with food to keep him in my favor. The horse neighed softly and followed me out to the pasture. Gaining his trust, I hoisted myself on his back and off we trotted. Miles later, I stopped behind an old abandoned barn to rest for the night. As the morning sun began its journey, I noticed something familiar a patch of woods with a frozen lake. If I remembered correctly, my dad’s old master owned these woods. I spent my childhood running
“Oh it's quite alright dear boy!” the headmaster chuckled. Upon being released from the hug from the boy who was so excited that he was almost being brought to tears, the headmaster knelt down so that he was eye level with him. “Now head on inside now,” he glanced up at the now completely cloud sealed sky, “It looks like we might get some rain soon.”
With nowhere to hide she ran towards The Wall. But it was too late, Link woke her up, before anything happened to her. Link saved her from a night of terror. A loud bang was heard from the chief’s hut, a town meeting was being called for nobody knew what the reason was, it had to be serious.
through the landscape with a cold that ached in the bones. Every blade of grass was held
I wandered around the path near the lake because it was always peaceful and quiet there in the morning and the trees that hung over the wide walkway only drew me in more. The cool wind blew continuously, and some of the leaves that barely hung on to the branches were pulled along with it. They floated while dropping slowly, and one of the leaves chose my head as a landing spot. I brushed my hair with my hand, not caring if doing so messes up my hair, since the wind already accomplished that job the second I took a step outside my house.
“Now suppose you had a little colt, and you were your own mother to that little colt… And all of the sudden that same little colt went and died… You’d be sorry, wouldn’t you?” When dealing with death, an individual is encompassed with all kinds of feelings and emotions. Depression, denial, and guilt are all the components of mourning through death. This quote, relates to the thought that everything one experiences is associated with their environment. Iona and the mare experience two different environments. For Iona, it’s adjusting to a life without his son. The little mare lives a life away from the farms in a gloomy city. Iona places the little mare in a similar scenario he’s in, as if she can respond. Although she can’t, the horse’s compassion is visible once again. “The little mare munches, listens, and breathers on her master’s hands.” The healing power of the mare was the key to easing Iona’s suffering. When Iona couldn’t find a sense of closure through the communication with human beings he finally opens his eyes to realize the one listener he had, was his little white mare. He pours his sorrows out to her and not only did she show compassion by hearing his every word, she physically comforts him. The little breath on his hand represents the transfer of warmth from the mare to Iona on a cold winter day. Even though she’s restricted to what she can do, at the end
As I walked I let my eyes close and my feet feel the groove in the gravel. My mind, still asleep, dreamt of breathing. The lining of my father's old coat escaped inside the pockets and caught my fingers, which were numb from the cold. I would have worn gloves but the sun would be unbearable later in the day. The clouds would rise over the mountains and disappear and the birds would slowly become silent as the heat settled in. But for now it was just cold. I tried to warm my neck by breathing down the collar. It smelled like diesel and sweat.
