The mare was treading lightly on this ice-crusted earth, wary of the slick ice that betrayed your weight, letting you plunge deep into the soft white and fought back as you scramble out onto the deep drifts, trying to avoid falling into the soft white snow. Tor was experienced in these little details, at her good age of seven years, she wasn't any inexperienced filly these days. Although the mare would happily meet with others in the Deep Forest, she was mainly searching for the Grey. Official Grey business, the healer thought to herself, amused with the sound of it. It was still somewhat bizarre to be part of something- she hadn't really been with a herd for, oh, one and a half or two years now, even if she had lived not completely alone. Simply, she was curious to meet the part of Ophelia and Ktulu's intriguing band.
Tor snorted, quietly reprimanding herself as she turned her focus back to the dark forest. It was a beautiful evening, the sooty purple sky quickly shifting to a deep navy, the rim of the world painted with black. The death of the sun led to the flickering specks of white stars, to the hanging of the pure white moon happily resting on its bed. Full moon, Tor thought. Not only was the evening peaceful, it was quiet, a warm silence that enveloped the soft glowing snow. Night was peaceful mostly, despite at times being a ravenous beast feeding on your fear, preying on your darkest thoughts. At least, that was how Tor had always perceived it. Night had its own regal beauty, in the silver lines brushed onto the edges of trees and the swooping white curves over snow, in the deep rich blues and purples that contrasted it on the bark of the pines and the bare trees, in the shadows of the forest.
Tor came to rest near under one of the many fir trees, one hoof cocked lazily, not really dozing but instead watching the flickering balls of light suspended far far away in the black velvet sky. It seemed endless, the ebony curtain, chock full of constellations and stars sprinkling the black hide like the white fur petals on a fawn's coat.
