It was the strangest feeling, to duck in beneath the dense canopy and allow the cool, moist shadows to close around them once more. He felt like coming home, as if breathing was just a little bit easier here in the misty forest. But at the same time he couldn't shake the leaden weight from the gut, the crawl along the spine that suggested that maybe this place hadn't truly been home for a long time. When, after all, had he ever been truly free and happy while walking the mingling paths?

The Silverthorn was coming home after seasons on the run, but it was with his tail tucked between the legs and head held low, like a mongrel crawling along the ground as it approached its master. Prepared for a beating, for harsh words and stern glares, and then he could tell himself however much he liked that none of the horses residing in this moon-blessed land were unfair enough to actually blame him for leaving. Not when so many others had run for their lives as well, scattered to the four winds by the deadly plague that had swept across the lands.

His own guilt for abandoning his family was blame and punishment enough.

It was with some trepidation that the grullo stopped just beyond the borders and called out, his voice carrying the news of his return on hesitant cords that bounced between the trees, sure to attract the attention of whoever wished to listen. Would anyone remember him still? Tides turned quickly in Helovia, he wasn't even sure himself who half of the members of his herd had been when he ruled so long ago (it was barely a year but oh, how much longer it seemed to him). Not for the first time he shook his head at how ill suited he had been for the crown - surely the herd was better off without him.
