The widely spaced, sunny trees of the Threshold are swiftly descending into a knotted mass of thick boughs and massive trunks, gnarled branches and ancient leaves that seem to whisper sinister secrets, secrets of blood and darkness and encroaching shadows... Argetlam shuddered, feeling the powerful urge to flee from the thickening forest before him, turn and run as swift as he could to the Foothills, where the aromatic, fresh smell of pine was the odor and the trees were familiar, the mountains were tall and the metal was in abundance, where every step he took he could sense the hot pulse of the metal's heartbeat.

This forest, on the other hand, was dark and damp. Trees seemed to press inwards, vines threw out hands to catch at his feathered feet, leaves dropped water on him from the last rainfall. No matter how hard he tried to ignore the feeling of watching eyes, the dapple gray could not stop himself from nervously checking his surroundings. Why couldn't he have ventured to the Heavenly Fields, or the Thistle Meadow, instead of this dark place where the shadows ate at his skin? For they did. They crept over him, engulfed him, dried his throat and parched his mouth.

Of course, it could not do to just have simply darkness, but a glint of blood as well.

Argetlam trumpeted in terrified surprise, exploding into action, shying and stumbling away in desperation from the ruby pool. In his terror, he missed the cacophony he was causing, the startlingly loud sounds in the muffled forest, of snapping twigs and ringing neighs. It felt like there was a very real thing trying to claw its way out of his great chest, his heart did; pounding loudly against his silver ribcage. Not until his breathing ease did he realize the stallion had caused such a racket over a pool of ruby gems. Stupid, stupid him, giving himself away.

But it did look suspiciously like blood.

"Open, but for the Gray please? :3"
