Solace

I'm ashamed that I'm barely human
I'm ashamed that I don't have a heart you can break
I'm just action and other times reaction





This land was still so new. The more Solace saw of this land the more he felt himself feel at home. Nowhere had ever truly felt like home to him. It was truly the strangest of feelings to so quickly find himself growing comfortable. His life before Helovia consisted solely of traveling from place to place, frequently being chased off by other herds that made it clear he wasn’t welcome. Not only did he feel himself feeling at home, he still felt like a bit of an outsider within the Foothills, but when did he not feel like an outsider?

There was no denying that things were definitely warming up in this new land, but he still hadn’t seen the sun since arriving in this strange land. Even just a bit of warmth was well welcomed by Solace, he never had been particularly fond of cold weather. He kept himself walking at a slow pace through the meadow. Slowly his eyes scanned about, taking in the details of his surroundings. His ears and eyes swiveled around and he took in the scents as well. He knew better than to just blindly walk into some strange place and not double-check his surroundings. For the time being it seemed as though he was alone, but he had no idea who would decide to pop up.

A bit of a hunger pang struck Solace, so he decided to munch on a bit of the grass that was visible through the melting snow. He picked at a small area until his mouth was full. Just as a precaution, he lifted his head and took another good look around him. He didn’t see anything worth concern so he lowered his head once more and pulled another mouthful of grass from the ground.

He had a sort of system where he would get a mouthful and then look up and scan his surroundings. It most likely seemed overcautious, but Solace had no intentions of being taken off-guard. He wasn’t sure what others inhabited this land and what to expect. A meadow would be the perfect pace to prey on something since there was nowhere to hide. A pack of creatures would also had a rather large advantage over him since he knew his speed was lacking.

He snorted loudly and shook his head. Sometimes Solace wondered what made him so overly cautious. Most this stemmed likely the years of living a solitary life and being the only one he could rely on for protection. That wasn’t quite the case anymore now that he was with The Grey. There were others that he supposedly could depend on when in need of protection, of course these others weren’t present or around as much as he knew. This didn’t particularly bother Solace either, he needed time on his own. He told himself repeatedly in his mind that it was alright for him to still covet his alone time, being in a herd didn’t mean constantly sticking close to the others and lingering in the herdlands.

“I’ve just got to learn how to be social again I suppose…” He chuckled to himself softly, not entirely sure what he found so funny about such a statement. I wanted a place to settle down and that’s what I got. I need to focus on the positives. After I leave this meadow I have a place to go back to, and I don’t have to constantly worry about whether or not I’m going to find somewhere to stay… Hm, that is definitely an odd thought. I’ll always have a place to go back to.
