keep your dreams in check
For whatever reason, Rouhi had decided to walk along the shore after departing from the forest, his mind set on exploring more of the east and to meet new people in his quest. Perhaps he just wanted to enjoy the scenery for a while. His openly friendly personality driving a desire to meet new people, something he wasn't always able to satisfy in his younger years.
The stallion was quite excited, surprisingly he was not tired by his previous encounters or the journey at all, perhaps too driven to even care about it too much for now. Of course this did not matter now, right now all he had to do was get to the Silver Cove, a place he had been hearing so much about for the past week or so, a safe-haven for those who needed it. Maybe once he was there he could even figure out why he was unable to re-birth, a question that had been on his mind since he had entered the forest.
As his legs trailed languidly through the dusty sand the stallion's imagination began to wander like it usually does, his mind creating ideal scenarios of how his conversations should go, perhaps weird to the naked eye but perfectly normal for Rouhi and his fear of being lonely, he never wanted to make mistakes that could render him being alone.
The stallion could not help but watch the scenery as he passed through, water slowly rolling up into a wave only to crash into the damp sand, Rouhi stepping over the dampened areas of sand that rogue waves must have hit. To his left was a wonderland of trees, different types decorating the side as he walked by, his eyes seemed to dance over the green flora, skipping along each tree as he studied their barks, picking out the old tall trees and the young saplings that were fighting to gain sunlight, the larger trees cowering over them, blocking them off.
The male moved off to the side, walking in the cool ocean, the waves violently slamming against his grey hocks. With a smile, Rouhi lowered his wingtips into the water, dragging them in the water and then lifting them above himself, allowing the small drops of cool liquid to disperse above him, dropping over his hot body as he walked.
Below the canopy lay a forest of flowers, the colours all gleaming at Rouhi as he walked by, inviting him in with open arms, small animals seemed to scuttle by as he changed his direction, his soft nose raised in the air as he scented the sea breeze, salty air drifting into his large lungs as he inhaled deeply. Along with the various scents of animals and flora also lay the scent of water, his legs changing the course almost instantly as soon as he was able to identify the scent correctly.
As he moved into the forest he was greeted by the sounds of various different species, their calls ranging from large deer to small squirrels in search of food. Rouhi slowed himself as he entered the dark forest, his pelt instantly darker as he went in further, only his eyes piercing the dark canopy above.
The stallion had to be close by now, the scent of water was becoming stronger with each step, the lush scent filling his nostrils with joy, but he did not rush. Instead, he took his time wandering through this undiscovered wonderland, taking in all the scenery there was to see, his steps slow and heavy as he walked through the deep and dark forest growth, slowly making his way toward the water.
After a couple hours of walking, the stallion had finally arrived at his destination, he circled the teal pool as he looked for a place to sink his muzzle, his legs trembling slightly as he tried to control his balance over the slippery mud. Once close, the stallion lowered his stiff stance and began to drink the cool blue liquid, his dry muzzle breaking the surface of the water, taking in large amounts to satisfy his growing thirst, after drinking the stallion turned around and walked a couple centimetres forward, his nose lowered to the ground until the high blades of grass were touching his soft, damp muzzle.
The grulla man started to graze quietly, while he grazed he couldn't help but notice another scent. For now, he kept quiet, his eyes attentively searching the green expanse for any signs of life wandering around, Rouhi eager to engage anything that moved with friendly motives, or perhaps more.
