The world was at peace, not even the birds had awoken from their slumber the lull of this place easing them into a deep long sleep as the winter morning broke over the land. The pegasus had spent several minutes in awe of this place, unable to move or breath due to its beauty. Even now after he had shook the overall shock off ,diving deeper into the forest, he could not entirely escape the wonder that filled his heart. Reaching the center of this majestic land he stopped, his head craning back to take in the towering cherry tree before him. Surely the most senor of all the trees of this forest, Apache would not be surprised if this ancient wonder was the sire of all the trees that surrounded him. Approaching with reverence the stallion's knees bent as he lay beneath its bows, his haunches resting against massive trunk, wings tucked neatly at his sides, as he surveyed the forest around him.

This place was truly a romantic’s paradise, if only he had someone to share it with. He frowned as thoughts of what could have been filled his heart, if only he had been able to save her, then they could share this moment together. The winter was harsh and bitter but within its cold grasp one could be given the promise of new birth in the spring. His stomach turned at the thought of his lost mate. WOuld he ever be able to move on and find love once more? He sat there for several more moments, absentmindedly leaning his shoulder against the rough bark as he pondered the painful possibility that he could find another. The place was strange, peaceful, magical, and pink. It defied all logic, it was quickly growing on him. Sighing he happily enjoyed his time among the petals, he would not return to wandering for another hour or so. He needed a little time to rest and relax.

As he sat there a sound invaded his mind, someone was calling to him. Looking up his ears perked forward he attempted to locate the source of the sound; he had no such luck. Standing he stepped away from the tree in an attempt to find the caller as the voice grew more urgent. The sound was swallowed by the petals, taking another step the male gasped as the ground vanished before him. He was falling! Spreading out his wings he attempted to stop his decent, but the gesture did nothing to slow let alone stop himself from plummeting. With a start the stallion jerked awake, his eyes snapping open bringing the world into stark focus. Taking in his surroundings, he felt extremely disoriented when he saw nothing but dirt walls and roots. That was right, he had taken shelter a den dug at the base of a massive tree. Looking at the entrance out into the dark world he could still see only the silver moonlight filtering through the entrance. His breath grew calm, but his sense remained alert. What had awakened him?
