Sunsets in the falls were always a sight to behold. The low, golden light danced over the jagged edges of the cliffs and caught the water as it crashed into the pools below. Sometimes the skies were streaked with rose and crimson, but tonight the clouds seemed almost purple.
A storm was rolling in from the east, and tonight promised heavy rains in the hours to come. Fireflies dotted the shadows between the rocks and the occasional chirp of a cricket or croak of a frog broke the quiet. For now, the evening was calm.
It was later than he'd intended to return when Ezital stepped back into the herdlands. He'd set out in the early dawn and even cantered when the terrain allowed, and still he'd only just made it before dark. It wasn't that he feared the things that went bump in the night. His usual wanderings were nocturnal anyway. If anything, the dark should fear him.
But he'd been gone for a bit longer this time, and there was a strange feeling in his gut. He missed sleeping in familiar territory. He missed knowing every blade of grass and every rock he passed. There was one particular boulder outside Vitani's cave that he'd named Ricardo. Ricardo watched the cave while he was out. He missed Ricardo.
He thought about going there for the night, but the filly would probably be sleeping. She probably wouldn't mind him being there, but they hadn't had a serious talk about him staying there yet. He would be better off resting under a tree and heading over in the morning.
Yawning widely, he paused to admire the light as it drifted closer to the horizon. Yes, it was good to be home again.
