Description
Something was wrong, Xanthus knew it. Nidra closed her eyes and sighed heavily. What she had to say was extremely hard for her. Xanthus waited patiently with his heart pounding hard against his chest.- I will leave Elephteria," she whispered and her voice shocked. Xanthus's heart stopped. Had he heard right?
- You, you... You... are leaving... me…, he stammered and felt the panic grow. This could not just happen. Nidra had never given any hint that there would be something between the two of them... but he had still some hope that it would be the two of them some day.
-No, Xanthus ... I will leave the land...
-But then you leave me too," whispered Xanthus and his dreams died within him. Nidra suffered, but not as much as Xanthus.
-Don’t leave me. I do anything you ask, you have to stay! said Xanthus desperate. If you leave Elephteria, I will follow you. I cannot live without you by my side. Since you denied me, I have still deep feelings for you. You are the only one. I ask for nothing more, only your love. But if I have to prove it to you, by abandoning the herd... I do it!, Xanthus said the last with a new sharp in his voice. I resign as the leader, if only that’s what it takes to be with you...
Nidra’s otherwise dead eyes, seemed to find a source of light, and she smiled quietly. She took a step towards Xanthus and pressed her forehead against his.
-I cannot ask that of you... Farewell... She backed off slowly and Xanthus followed. He wanted to follow her. Even if he would die trying... Nidra did not need him, he knew that... but he needed her.
-Wait," he whispered, and his knees gave way. Do not leave me, he asked ... If Nidra had her sight, she would have seen how miserable he was, but deep within her, she knew that she had hurt the stallion more than anyone else... She wanted to at least give him some kind of hope...
- I will return, Xanthus... I'll be back... and when I return, I will spend my life with you... Xanthus shook his head ...
-Please, Nidra ... I will die if you leave... Nidra turned around to walk away. She turned her ear towards the spot she thought Xanthus was.
- Have a little faith ... My love...

Wait.. since when has Nidra been blind? Did this just happen? She is blind, right? xD Is this why she can't love Xanthus or am I totally off? xD I'll have to go back and reread the stories to some pictures, now.. :3 Love the picture and story, too. <3

Nidra was born blind. Sje have never seen the wolds beauty or sorrow.
She feels that Xantgus deserves someone better, not a blind mare.
Thank you so very much

The story and the way you wrote it is really touching. You've done a remarkable job on the expressions as well. However, I know this took you around 30 minutes, but I suggest putting a bit more thought to the details. These shaky lines literally sting the viewer's eyes, even on a small view - it wouldn't hurt to clean them up a bit, especially since you use a tablet. Also the manes could use a bit more detailing, rather than being shaded with an airbrush only. Not bad, but as your Watcher and your progress observator I know you can do better. You never disappoint in getting better.

It's a shame for Xanthus, but he just might have to give her a little time. She'll come around ^^
