Feathery, grey wings flapped tiredly at the mare's sides, just barely keeping her aloft. She couldn't remember a time when she had felt so exhausted. Her eyes threatened to droop closed but she fought back the urge. Light blue eyes scanned the tree tops, searching for an opening in the thick forest. Aveira was lucky that the breeze was heading in the direction she wanted it to, otherwise she would have ended up dropping from the sky in exhaustion.
Five minutes passed before Aveira spotted a place where she could land. It appeared to be only a small opening but she carefully angled herself downward. This was uncharted territory, after all. Who knew what would happen if she injured a wing? Gliding at a steady decline, the mare extended her legs in preparation of landing. She nearly gritted her teeth together as she passed by branches that seemed to reach out to tear out her feathers. Somehow, though, she managed to land gracefully.
Exhaling a breath she hadn't known she was holding in, Aveira shook out her mane and folded her wings to her sides as she glanced about. Small, delicate ears twirled atop of her skull. Sounds of squirrels chittering and birds calling out to one another greeted her ears. It appeared rather peaceful here. Was it as safe as it looked? Curiously she turned her head to look at what was around her.
A multitude of trees surrounded the mare, their leaves turning to shades of amber, gold, and brown. Was it already that time of year again? Aveira lowered her head to nudge a single leaf on the ground. Small specks of dust found their way up her nares and she jerked her head back to sneeze. She was sure she made a rather embarrassing looking expression. Hopefully no one else was around to see.
