Who, in his mind,
has not probed the dark water?



It was one of those clear and sunny autumn days where everything seemed shaped from light. A vivid blue color dyed the high heavens, while a warm sun gilded the leaves of the trees, making them glow as if set ablaze. The air was cool, the birds chirped and flew on and off between the trees, and the water in the streams had gained a refreshing bite. It splashed up around the wild-marked legs as the stallion waded across and dyed the coat in darker shades of black and gray; it almost looked as though the strands of hair was shimmering in metallic hues when touched by the light.

The weather was perfect for explorations, and this time the newly arrived outcast had set his sights on a new area that he hadn't payed attention to before. Partly it was because a great many horses scents were mingling here, and he was cautious in nature. He had no interest in joining a herd, neither did he like the thought of being questioned by a border patrol. Thus, Lace traveled up towards higher ground with a great deal of caution. He had convinced Fajira to serve as a lookout, and after a long while of commenting on how overly careful he was she had agreed. If he concentrated on their bond he was be able to sense the rush of air over glimmering white scales, rays of sunlight playing with the eyes and see the view of the mountainous landscape far below, dominated by rocks, sparse foresting and a waterfall that crashed down toward a small pool. He would see the shape of horses move over the terrain, small and undefined like ants; but none that payed attention to the small gray dot that moved around the outskirts of the region...

With a shake of the masked head his attention was brought back to the things he could see with his own eyes. It was always unsettling to view himself from Fajira's perspective. Normally it wasn't something he preferred to do, but this was a suitable occasion if any. Not that he feared the inhabitants of this land, or of any land for that matter. It was more... Yes. An act of caution.

The stallion saw and felt how the grown rose beneath his feet. Keeping an eye on the ground to stay clear of holes and sharp rocks, his progress was slow and somewhat tiring. He kept himself to the trees as much as possible, curiosity mingling with a feeling that he was doing something stupid. The latter emotion increased when a large patch of open ground appeared before him, a steep rise where nothing but rocks and patches of rough grass grew. The nearest tree had to be at least fifty yards away, leaving nothing to shelter him with.

Perhaps it had been a bad idea to come up here, he mused and halted, resting for a bit with the weight placed on only three hooves and the hip cocked to the side. Maybe it would be best to turn around before anything happened...

Chicken a faint thought teased within his mind, making the silver grulla snort and flip the ears backwards.
Am not. Fear and caution are different things. He was answered by a mental laughter that made his tail flick in annoyance, knowing that the dragon had stopped listening. He grumbled to himself about it for a while, before returning to the problem at hand. To cross or not to cross, that was the issue.
