A hush simmered over the jade grassland which spilled forth from the ankles of the mountain, speared by the tall shadows of coniferous trees. It was daybreak and a silvery veil of mist had risen to hover above the verdant pasture, shifting and rolling lazily on the barest breath of a breeze. Sunlight spilled through the cracks in the woodlands and caressed the mountain's slopes like a lover's touch, warming the earth as it hummed quietly with life. The birds were the first- the lark as the head chorister- to break through the silence and herald the dawn and all others remained silent. The rabbits chewed wet strands of grass in quiet bliss, the dragonflies rested on tall stalks of timothy, warming their wings. It was with such grace that the winged equine landed that even the grasses beneath her feet did not rustle.


She balked; she could smell other horses in the area. Many others had come this way. Her pearly pink nostrils flared as she inhaled the scents and she cast her luminescent gaze about, subtle movements of her ears picking up even the quietest of sounds. She did not feel at ease in an area which seemed to be a place of traffic for others. Her trip through the mountain pass had been quiet and solemn, without being lonely. She did not crave the companionship of others, though there had been a curiosity- driven by that hatural herd instinct- responsible for her coming this way. It had dug its spurs into her tender sides and had urged her forward, to the Threshold where she now stood. But she did not stay in that place for long.


The long-legged mare trotted back toward the forest, high-set tail swishing from side to side and her head lifted and slightly turned, to make sure she was not followed or chased. Into the shade-dappled forest she went, slowing to a quiet walk as she tucked her broad, glossy dragon-like wings against her sides. She was on full alert as she moved, pausing now and again when she heard a sound; the sylph was not frightened, merely aware that she would not likely pass through this area without some sort of confrontation. And she was not interested in putting herself in any sort of danger. Like a spectre she moved through the light and shadows, but a mere whisp of light herself drifting through the trees, iridescent pale, blue eyes searching, ever searching.
