As soon as the trees broke and he was in open land, Leliel took to the air, his four wings beating powerfully in time to take him high above Helovia. Looking down he watched the change of landscape. He flew high above a meadow before banking left to explore more toward the south where the cryptic mare, Mirage, had said the Deep Woods was. He did not particularly care for the way she spoke in riddles, nor did he seek the "gold" but he was curious. There had to be a reason for her to be cryptic and whisper only to him where to find her and not his brother. His other reason for following her was simply because his brother would not approve and hopefully would not follow him.

Leliel's decent began when more trees began to pop up in the distance. As he neared the ground his wings flared out to slow him farther and his legs began to move to lessen the shock. Instead of hitting the ground at a stand still he was trotting and eventually slowed until he was stopped and standing before the entrance of the Deep Woods. It was ominous, to say the very least, but he liked the darkness. The stallion tucked his four wings close to his sides as he peered into the forest, hoping to catch a glimpse of gold flittering among the branches.

Finally, he stepped into the forest, his dark form easily blending into the darkness. The stallion's ears rotated atop his head as he listened for stubtle steps other than his own, or the steady beating of wings that would herald the gold's arrival.
