oh me oh my, i thought it was a dream...
Chem finds himself withdrawn from the world lately. Finding peace, real solace, in the silence of his home. Just he, Irisaen and the Cove. He’s learned each inch, and still discovering more about the mysterious territory every day. His companion is getting too large to hide in his mane as she used to, and she now slithers beside him most of the time, or coiled atop his withers; a great iridescent reptilian ornament. They wander the hills, the heather fields, the shores, the shallow caves and the enormous rock formations standing bravely in the violent tides. Sometimes others are moving about, but they’re leftovers from those who used to haunt here, or still idly do, but either way they do not have much to do with him and he has no urge to try and chase anyone away. Why would he bother? Plenty of room, and they’re no threat to him as far as he can see. So far, anyway.
A foggy morning on the black sand beach facing Hyaline’s not so distant shore. The small lagoon that separates them churns wildly, and it looks deceptively close to the Kingdom; Chem knows from experience it isn’t so easy to cross, not as a horse anyway. A problem he no longer is anchored by, thankfully. His most comfortable skin is his own, but he can’t help but relish in the magical freedom that is shapeshifting.
Without any real purpose, and many different trains of thought, the stallion just stares off toward Hyaline. The mists rising slowly, sunrise bringing a golden light to the darkish Cove, the lace-cap waves starting to boil a little harder as the morning progresses. His python slithering down from his withers, curling down his thick leg and into the onyx pebbled sands, staring in the same direction as Chem.
i'm not really sure
just letting everyone know he's around, i guess? lol
