It would be dark soon. He could feel the air beginning to cool on his skin, the sun's heat now soft on his face. He had bedded down for the day in a tree shaded hollow. The scents of warm pine sap and sweet clover filled his nose as he slept, encouraging hungry dreams as the day passed around him.
Waking with the bats and nighthawks, the midnight stallion felt his stomach clench with need, despite his companion not having arrived yet. Soon enough the fragment of starlight would arrive, and navigating the world would be a less daunting task. For now though, hunger won over his cautious nature, and the night and starlight stallion ventured from his hiding place into the open pasture that lay beyond him.
His every step was carefully measured, and still he found himself stumbling on the uneven ground. Cursing quietly, he stopped as soon as he felt thick grasses beneath his feet, not trusting himself to make it much further safely. As he dipped his head, the ink dark ears that emerged from his tangled mane rotated endlessly. It was dangerous to be caught unawares. So he listened while he ate, and tried to look as little like a target as possible.
