Another sleepless night and another day of walking around like a zombie aimlessly wandering hoping to happen upon some lonely soul. The days were growing increasingly longer as tallsun crept into the land showering them all with the radiant glow and warmth, ok scratch warmth it was freakin hot. Some days it felt as if a volcano lay deep under helovia superheating them all while the sun plotted to kill them from above with all the sauna like conditions. It was a welcome relief when the clouds would roll in and darken before spilling forth all their collected moisture upon the inhabitants down below. Despite the rain being refreshing it was a double edged sword, it could either provide relief all day or it could turn into just a shower followed by endless sunshine raising the humidity and making it harder to breathe. There was always two possible outcomes to every situation but only if you chose to see it.

Standing beneath one of the tall oaks a grey mare stood just enjoying the early morning glow while deciding her plans for the day. If history repeated itself they were bound to have another hot day ahead of them so whatever it was she wanted it to be something simple and not overly complicated. Settling on the task of recruiting at long last she stretched forward to relieve the knots that had formed over the course of the night. No sooner had she started walking did she see a mare cantering along through the trees seeming to just be enjoying herself. Watching her for a moment or two she couldn't help but look back to when she would just get out and run, run to clear her head and just feel alive. It had been months since she had allowed herself the pleasure so why not now? It wasn't too hot yet and she would get to meet someone new, that would work out. Trotting forward to stretch her legs out she followed the mare at a distance before finally breaking into a elegant canter. This was the one thing in her life that she was good at for it was in her blood, her ancestors carried andalusian blood gifting her with such brilliant gaits. It was easy to get lost in the moment just listening to the beat of her heart and the rhythmic beat of her hooves as they touched down into the grasses. Her long tresses flew out like banners waving along to the wind not caring about anything else in the world.

It didn't take too long to close the gap between herself and the stranger but she gave her the space so she could notice her before she panicked thinking someone was out to get her. Maybe it was just her way of thinking but you never know it could still happen. Nickering warmly with a playful dip of her head she watched the girl carefully her blue eyes soft yet curious. Gradually she began to slow her gait wondering if the girl would follow suit and join her or if she would just continue to run away. Hopefully she would be willing to talk so that she could get to know her newest acquaintance. Slowing to a stop in the shade of a few large birch she allowed her breathing to begin coming down to a normal rate. Shaking out her mane until it lay smoothly against her satiny neck she turned her attention to ridding herself of as many pesky insects as possible. The damn flies seemed to gravitate towards the dampness coating her lean body but with the heat still rising she avoided using her magic to solve the problem the easy way.
