home is where the heart is







The days had seemed too hot to wonder around in. The forests were humid and quiet. Shadows of the trees could only do so much in providing shelter from the heat, and it seemed as if he was the last animal to exist around these parts. It was lonely, and incredibly draining. After hours that felt like days, he would be exhausted, sweaty, and thirsty.
So he decided to only travel at night. At sundown, the unicorn would wake up, and travel farther. He would be accompanied by hundreds of lightning bugs and their soft glow. He would often hear rustling in the foliage, and his eyes would point to find out whether it's a rabbit or a deer, or something else entirely.


Eventually his legs carried him to a small stream that was camouflouged by a patch of tall grass. He walked through the grass, his feet unintentionally but effectively flattening it below his weight. His head hung low, though his ears shifted and searched for sounds of other beings near him as he gulped down some of the welcome, cool water. He closed his eyes and as he drank eagerly, his body relaxed. His ears, neck, legs.. Every last bit of tension gone and forgotten.
Until he heard a twig snap. It sounded like a particularly large one, too. Nothing a deer would be able to do. Aiken's head shot up, his ears pointed and his eyes focused to see if he could make out what it was that stood there. But the rustling didn't stop. Instead, it sounded like the sound was getting closer. Curiously and unconsciously, he stepped forward slowly, interested to see what or who made those noises.



"Talk."
