It's high noon, but there's nobody left to share it with. Not too cold, not the most warm anymore. It's just... empty, barren, alone. Ain't anything to hope about anymore. Guest steps forward, their feet hitting the ground hard, sluggishly hard. Heads spinning, hungry, thirsty, it feels like it's over. The suddenly... they're out.
Darkness, silence, quiet. It's soothing, more soothing than last December, when the outbreak happened. But soon Guest could hear... snoring? It's not loud but it's not quiet, either. It's snoring and it's peaceful. Guest awakes, sees... a man sleeping on a horses back?
Bucky is sitting quietly, he's not moving, calm, relaxed. Just sitting there allowing the man on his back to sleep. But soon his blue eye notices Guest, seeing their movement suddenly. A soft huff escapes his nostrils before another, suddenly jolting a bit to wake the man.
Bucky then jolts again, seeming excited to see Guest awake. Bucky seems to be well groomed, well taken care of, and well fed.
Ah!
The man finally wakes up, hair slightly messy. They're both in a room with Guest, ballroom large and dark. Slowly he slides off of Bucky and onto his butt. His hands fix his hair, golden eyes shining brightly off of the faint afternoon sun peeking through the handful of windows on the walls. He knows the person sitting infront of him. He's the one who ordered to have them picked up.
Have you ever thought about what our roles are in life? Before all this I mean. What we were... blessed with? Given by God? That's what I wondered for a long time.
Caesar's voice is quiet. He's speaking like he knows Guest, like he knew them from birth. But he doesn't truly, that's just how welcoming he truly is. His hand runs through his hair one more time before he stands, finally fixing his trench coat.
You wandered up on the land me and my people own. And I'm not mad! I'm not gonna hurt you. But they look to me for answers, and I MUST provide them, so I look to the sky. And here you are. I'll ask this once and once only, who are you?
Bucky stands up behind Caesar, seeming to agree with him. He towers over Caesar but he doesn't move. The horse knows that man is truly powerful and respects him. He only let's out a slight huff before brushing against him softly.
The horse tries a step, sees Caesar is okay with it, then steps to his side. Now both of them stare down Guest in a half threatening but half welcoming way. It's enough to make the air stand still for a second.
Two figures stand infront of Guest, two that saved them from a worse fate in a zombie apocalypse. But now, they stand before them and there's only one question: will they be friend, or foe?
