It amazed Gulliver just how far the Dragon's Throat was to his little oasis in the forest. It seemed like he had crossed mountains and rivers following Pip. The little bird almost radiated with excitement, and that kept Gully moving forward. He had changed paced a couple of times, switching from a lope to a lengthy trot, and back to a run. He didn't struggle to keep up to the flying man, but he could feel the strain it had on his already aching body. At least the long journey gave him time to ponder on this new home. Pip seemed confident and truly proud of his "nest". Gully hoped that he too could find such a place in the herd. It may take some time, but he was excited at the prospect of putting his brain to use. He wondered how the leaders would react to a new face...
His thoughts were interrupted with Pip's decent. He slowed his limbs, coming to a stop as the pegasus landed. When did the grass and rocks turn to sand? He must have really been deep in thought. Taking his brief opportunity to rest, his back legs bent underneath him, giving him an unusual stance as he sat like a dog. He let out a huff, shaking his head and shoulders. At least his hide is now dry, but he longed for that little icy creek. The tangles in his mane gave it waves, something that didn't happen too often. It compared to the worst blow-out ever. Little sticks and burrs covered him, and somewhere, he had nicked his right knee on...something, and his white patches were grey with mud. He definitely looked worse for wear. Gully's ears pricked towards the little speck of land that seemed so far away. That is the Throat? He wondered how Pip expected him to cross such a vast body of water. If he was expected to swim, he would have to ask for the night to rest. Pip seemed to have a trick up his sleeve, though, and it prompted him to stand back on all fours. He eyed the little foreign object Pip produced from his mane, closing the gap between them. "What is that, Pip? Why do you have a key if there is no door to unlock?" He walks. | "He talks." | He thinks. |
