The air embraces me with the cooler hands of night; and I inhale the sweetness with quiet joy, freedom in my heart. I have not settled as I should have, not bedded down in the Dragon Throat; maybe my heart and legs are still searching for my sweet Azel, who I miss so dearly. The small pearl I carry with me, I hope, will one day hatch into something that will help heal the strip torn out of my beating heart, but I do not know and I will not know for a while yet. All my wisdom has not told me of things in eggs, apart from birds, in which case I am not prepared to care for, not prepared to dig up worms with my hooves and whatever else they eat.

The herd, I am certain, was to the south behind me; I had crossed a great deal of land in a brief while, and my knees ached with arthritis. I knew not a cure for my eyes or ears, or the senses I'm sure would gradually disappear, but perhaps the aches in my old joints was something that could be cured by a healer, if I were ever to discover one or know where one was. Certainly there would be one in the Throat- but I didn't know the scent of her, or him, so I doubted I could seek the mender out.

Dilemmas of an old mind! Ha! I continue my walk, sensing my path leaving from hard rock and blistering heat to cool forests and dark nights. Surely enough, wet glistens on my wings and beads in my mane as the dampness creeps in, and the odor of decay. I think I have entered a forest, big and dark and deep, yet I continue my reckless venturing anyways, despite knowing myself as easy prey to any beast than wanders within.

Not too long later I notice a new scent, a stallion, and mingled briefly with it is fear that dissipates with relief and humor; it is alone as well, and cautiously I approach, hooves snared by roots and creeping vines, stumbling along making a racket to be heard for too far around. "Hello," I cry, deeming myself close enough; and then I still.
