You dream of trading places, I have been changing faces.
You cannot fill these shoes, there is too much to lose.





It had only been a mere couple of hours, though it felt like days, that the dun mare had been both flying and walking toward her new home. She was not used to flying for long periods of time, she found it rather boring. Her normal transportation was by foot on the solid ground. Flying had always made her feel so vulnerable and easy to track, the thought wasn't very satisfying. At last, the trees began to part, the scent of smoke filling the open air. Hazel orbs followed the direction that her nares told her it was coming from, only to see nothing, not even the rolling of gray plumes of smoke.

The scent increased with each step forward, causing Cierra to become concerned. This was her home now, was it not? She was brand new to the land, not knowing anything about the heart of the land and it's constant fiery center. Her long wings sprawled out stretching over her small body. With an easy push off of the dry earth, she cast herself into the air, watching for the flames. She glided through the air, her wings beating in a slow rhythm to keep her body in the sky.

Surely enough, the scent she had found was seeping from a large divot in the ground. Fire licked at the air from the depths of the hole. Cierra had never been quite fond of fire, it was much too warm for her already over heated body. Her gaze shifted from the hole to her left, making out what she was sure had to be a lake. This would be much more comforting. The pace of her wings picked up, propelling her fragile frame through the air. Her mane and tail swirled in the soft breeze that carried her to her home land.

The short distance to the lake was already making her solid wings ache. They lied back, perched just enough to keep her sailing through the air. The heat of the baked ground was almost overwhelming as each cloven hoof settled back onto the earth. The sails folded back down onto her body tiredly. The surrounding land was dry; vegetation springing from the earth in patches. Quickly, the vision of her home created a cotton mouth effect on her tongue. The lake better taste good.

Cierra walked with swift steps toward the inviting water, realizing that the vegetation grew as she neared the pool. Her black tipped ears rotated around constantly, listening for any stalkers that may have been watching her. The thought made her spine tingle. The dun reached the water and wadded directly into it. The cool liquid enveloped her long legs all the way up to her sore knees. Naturally, Cierra dipped her lips into the water, drinking until her belly and mouth were satisfied.
