I don't know what it is that draws me towards the crowd. I'm grazing, filling my stomach with whatever I can get my teeth into, when I feel a pull. I can't describe it - it's like I know I have to be somewhere, like good things will happen if I follow my instinct. I lift my head up from my grazing, blades of grass and leaves poking out the corners of my mouth, and desperately try to scan around for signs of whatever it is that's drawing me. Bells jingle and dance in my ears, and I pivot them in every direction to try and scoop up more of the sound and determine what it is.
My haltered head turns right to left, left to right, hunting. I begin to tentatively move, testing the muscles of my stout limbs as I lean into a canter. I throw my head up, running like a wild stallion (as it were) with my mane flowing behind me and sweat quickly lathering my body. I might be fitter than I was when I entered Helovia, but I'm still no warrior, and certainly no endurance runner. It isn't long before I'm slowing down to a trot, then finally a walk, my lips foaming with green froth from the meal that I was halfway through consuming. I'm suddenly on a bridge, and I slow myself slightly incase my pounding hooves break through the wood and cast me into the ocean.
As I alight from the bridge I see a formidable crowd of people, and immediately feel shy and out of place. But I fight through this feeling and continue to move forwards, hunting for a familiar face and also for the source of what they're looking at. It quickly becomes apparent; a turtle, coated in bells, and a beautiful tree covered in snow and ice. There's a light dusting of snow, too, which I wouldn't have expected on this tropical island. A smile spreads slowly across my face as I beam at the turtle. "Hello there, Mister!" I greet him. Isn't he the cutest thing!
I see Erthë, and offer her a broad smile. It's good to see her here, and looking well, too. My attention largely remains on the turtle, however, eager to see what he has planned.
Happy Heloviamas everyone <3
