Mountainstallion (2013)
“Pace murmured, making his way through the rubble that had been the largest workshop on his mountain. Most of his other forges and workshops had been destroyed as well, ripped apart by last night’s storm.
His workers had arrived early that morning to help him with repairs. One family had lost their home in the village below and Pace had opened his house to them. Most of the structures in the village had only minor damage but Pace’s mountaintop had been hit much harder.
When he’d seen the destruc...tion of his buildings, Pace’s first thought hadn’t been of what he’d lost but of Gayle and the others in the village. He’d flown there immediately. Relieved to see that her home and shop still stood, he could attend to his repairs without worrying about her safety.
When she’d looked up and met his gaze, he wished to land and take her in his arms, but after how she’d reacted in the valley he thought better of it. She’d made no motion to him. Not even a wave, so he’d flown off to inspect the rest of the village before returning to the mountain to begin repairs.MoreLess
