It was something big, this thing, dark as the moon, fluttering, ebbing and moving in unison. It was uncanny, this something, the way it shuddered and seemed to breathe. Yet what kind of animal blotted out the baby blue of the sky, what animal seemed to have no hard lines, no real beginning and no end? Not in all her travels had she seen anything like it. The closest, maybe, she could come to in conclusion was some kind of flock of birds, like the numbers that soar together south in the winter.

Unease prickles her stomach, but the draft pushes it away insistently. Nothing should- would?- disrupt her quiet, peaceful time with Destrier. Right? Right. But he comments as well on the flock, questioning the suitability of cover, and she tears her eyes away from the clearly avian being. "Honestly, Des? I'm really not sure." That was before the hum- the eerie, sinister whine that grew louder, the buzz that seemed to vibrate in her teeth, despite being nowhere near that loud. Some instinct was telling her to hide, the flight reaction that fueled horses into wild panic.

She moves beside him, the plain seeming uncomfortably open now, quite unlike the soothing sun and serenity it had brought just moments before. The sky still glistened blue around the cloud, with a faint golden glitter where the sun shone bright. The grass is crushed underfoot as she moves beside the stallion, black as night, even darker than the cloud above.
