Lace

It was early morning by the time they reached the Falls. Lace hadn't been in any particular hurry to get away from the Heavenly Fields but the sudden upswing of horses that crowded the high altitudes made both him and his dragon uneasy, so after the run-in with the Sun God they slipped away quietly and descended the steep path. Maybe they should have let Tandavi and Natraj know that they had left - Lace was reluctant to worry the girl more than he already had, and he was still keen to have a proper conversation with her about things - but between the crowd and his own restless nature it was straining to stay in one place. Besides... he'd seen something from the elevated meadow that piqued his curiosity, and he was eager to get closer to find out more.

Last time he had passed by here, there had been mountains towering up to the southwest. Tall, solid and very immobile mountains, that ought to have been there still. Yet for some reason the snow-capped peaks were nowhere to be found, and Lace couldn't understand what had happened to them. As he padded cautiously around the area he couldn't keep his eyes from straying towards the place where the mountains had been, the area now swept in a thick mist that gleamed pearly white in the crisp morning light. It looked as though a giant had reached down and scooped the very rock away, leaving either flat ground with nothing at all growing there, or a pit of some kind - the mist made it hard to tell, and he was reluctant to get too close in case it was the latter.

For the life of him the gold-backed stallion couldn't find a path to follow, and the view from above that his dragon shared through their bond showed only a vast sea of fog that never parted long enough to reveal the ground beneath. As the sun rose it would probably burn away, answering the steadily rising number of questions in his mind... But for now he could only shake his head, perplexed.

"Mountains don't just uproot themselves and disappeared" he said to Fajira as she came back and settled on his rump, as always balancing skillfully with wings stretched wide as he kept skirting the misty area. "I wonder what happened here..."
