“Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.”




A rumble shattered the silence of the forest, and Cetan's head whipped to the side, ears shooting straight up and nostrils flared. Okay... maybe he didn't want to be found. Rumbling noises were never good, and the stallion stepped back, ears flattening against his skull. But no hunting cat lept at him; instead a monster of a horse appeared from the trees. Cetan relaxed a bit, one ear cocking forward before something else set the high-strung unicorn on edge, his legs tensing to flee. No horn. Hornless. Dangerous. He held still as the giant stallion spoke, not out of polite regard for him, but out of a deep-rooted fear of anything unknown. It was what kept him alive, and was going to do so.

Both ears flicked forward at Thor when he asked for Cet's name, and after a few heartbeats he replied. "Cetan." He said, ears returning to their position against his skull. The stallion was as large as Herd Leader had been, and a glance down at his feathery hooves confirmed it; if he wanted this stranger could pound Cetan to a pulp. How reassuring. His blue eyes returned to the face of the giant, watching his ears, eyes, nostrils and legs. No matter the words or expression, one's true intentions always held themselves in the posture, the movements.

He was not hostile.

It was then, and only then that the tension fled Cetan, and he relaxed, ears flicking upright, eyes no longer completely terrified, but rather just wary. "Why do you believe i need help...friend?" He asked, rolling the word around before deciding he didn't much care for it. Why did this stranger call him 'friend' when he didn't know Cetan? It was puzzling.
