Walking was painful. Standing still was painful. Breathing was painful too, but just as she couldn't stop her heart from beating the shadow mare could not find it in her to stay still. Between the fatigue accumulated in wings and muscles after the week or so of flying that had brought her across the sea and a ravenous hunger, sleeping had become impossible. Not only that, but her own impatience to set off and find Kari made her rush her own recovery, so that even after days had passed she had yet to regain much strength in the few thin, wiry muscles she still possessed.

Like a shadowed wraith she stalked along the shoreline, eyes focused on land rather than the sighing, swaying seas. Sick and tired of water the mare was far more interested in discovering decent sized patches of grass for her to devour, or maybe the rare spring that sometimes bubbled up from under ground, liquid sweet and refreshing rather than salty. Every other step or so she stopped, reached back and raked across the back, flank or shoulders with annoyed teeth, tugging and itching at the ragged patches of old winter coat that still clung to her frame. Skuggi knew she must look horrible, emaciated and unkempt with mane swaying all the way down to her elbows, no more than a black wad of fur tumbling along the beach. Yet grooming was hardly on the agenda right now, as far from a priority as priorities went.

So occupied was she with her own thoughts and with the search for food that she didn't notice the egg in the sand until her front hoof caught on the shell, sending the orb rolling away before her. She blinked and paused in stride, head tilting as amethyst eyes curiously regarded the thing. It seemed undamaged despite the mistreatment suffered, and for an egg it was oddly big. Intrigue bid her to examine it closer, and so with pricked ears and head lowered the mare padded over, nostrils quivering as she reached out to touch the egg.

@[Artorious] Feel free to attack! ;D

Caught a bird and let it go, had a rope and don't you know
When I pulled it down, it settled on the ground
Caught a bird and in a trap, had a lot to give back
When the sun came by you opened up your eyes
