Tauber
How the time had passed! The young colt had left behind the fluffy golden down of his foalhood, and was now entering the awkward shapes of becoming a yearling. Soon, his disproportionate body would begin to bud into the makings of a solid stallion. But that day was not today. Today he had wandered from Sylva's reach, trading the yellow-gold leaves to the darker green. How they had protected him more from the painfully bright rays of the sun! Tauber rejoiced and threw a buck into the air to release the energy.
It had only been a few months since the slaughter of his mother before his eyes. It had been gruesome. It had torn his heart out and there was months of mourning. The fear of the Sylva King grew but he did not dare to leave the Golden forest yet. Who would take in the pair of the oddly colored near-yearlings? Especially since they were raised under the nearly-all knowing eyes of the Sylva monsters. Who could trust them? Tauber doesn't worry about that now, the weight that seemed to slowly crush him in Sylva now seems easy to carry in the forest.
He missed his mother, but time heals all things and Shirad and eased the thoughts of being alone. Finally he feels at ease enough to announce his presence...because, isn't that what you're supposed to do in a strange land? His young voice echoed between the trees, sending a small flock of birds nearby to the skies while scolding him loudly. He fake shies away from them, laughing at the creatures in the forest. Didn't they know that there were far scarier creatures than Tauber nearby?
