There was silence all around. No birds singing from their tree perches, no small animals skittering through the underbrush of the forest, no animals of any kind. It was as if they were frightened, these forest dwellers, remaining in hiding as the lone figure crept silently through the brush, waiting for the moment he had passed to safely venture from their homes. Perhaps it was better that way. They didn’t deserve to be in his presence anyway, these lesser creatures…
The sun had only recently raised into the air, the bright rays warming the chilly night and chasing away the shadows that lurked in the forest. Winter had just ended, and although the weather had warmed considerably over the last couple of days, the nights still held a wintry chill that was hard to for the world to shake. The chill, however, did not bother the silvered creature that sauntered through the forest, cerulean horn poised high towards the heavens. Perhaps if he were the poetic type, which he certainly wasn’t, the stag would make a comment how the chill did nothing to bother his frozen heart. Since he was far from a poet, however, he merely continued on his way.
Stopping in his place a few minutes later, the Unicorn lowered his head to the ground, nostrils breathing in the scents lingering upon the forest floor. Animals of all kinds had crossed this path, but one scent stuck out among the rest. Equines. Be they horses, Unicorns, or Pegasus, however, the Andalusian stallion couldn’t tell. Lifting his head once more, he tossed his grey and beige mane from his eyes, icy orbs taking in the area around him. If there were others like himself, he would gladly meet them… But if any horses of Pegasi crossed his path, he would send them on their way.
Ecco would not spend time with those lesser than those of his fine blood.
The silver dappled stallion huffed, his broad chest expanding as he took in air. What was here for him, anyway? What had drawn him into this land? Oh, yes… Those tree-hugging optimists of the land beyond had disgusted him enough to venture onwards, intending to find those with his likeliness, believing that Unicorns were the superior species. Those were the ones he wished to find.
