No one is too old for fairytales

A quiet air hung loosely over the terrain. Soft light poured from the skies as if some pitcher dropping it down. Foolish are those who get so comfortable with the weather and conditions as they were . . . For they could shift rapidly, abruptly, and dangerously. It was those moments that one could end up hurt. How calm one moment could be and how quickly it could turn violent was a thing of beauty. It also reminded her of some rather nasty-minded horses.

The land before the vixen was vast, barren, and silent. If the weather turned poor here, she felt the surface would be hard to tread. What had brought her, or any creature for that matter, here of all places? It was different. She liked that. Surely, as no vegetation was to be found, there’d be fewer interruptions to either self-mulling on thoughts or just quiet time overall. Mocha-hued tendrils slashed at the air behind her as she slapped it against her hocks, taking steps further into the Scourge.

Hooves clacked against the hard crust. She didn’t mind others' company, but it got tiring after a while to have to interact with them constantly. Sometimes, recharging was necessary. This was her break. If somebody else happened to come across her, she’d allow them to entertain her, otherwise, she was fine being alone for a little. Blue pools observed the horizon. It was a land where one had to ensure they were sure-footed, otherwise they’d probably stumble and fumble about with how uneven it was. Not that it was the land's fault, it had, after all, been formed by magma and lava rivers gushing over the land. She enjoyed the challenge of making sure she was watching where she was stepping, it only aided her skills.

A few vultures could be seen in the distance. The fae could assume that they had found a meal. She shook herself gently as she made a mental note to try to avoid going that way. Death was something she did not want to see at this moment in time. From the distant lava pools that were still active, one could smell the thermal pools that were around it. The sulphuric scent was not as strong over here, but with gusts of winds in the correct direction, one would be able to smell it. April rolled her shoulder blades as she progressed into the territory. So far, her nostrils had yet to pick up the scent of another equine. A few lizards scattered, spooked out of their catatonic states of rest while absorbing heat from the ground. Towers shifted around to listen for threats, but so far she was extremely pleased to feel okay enough to not have to be completely guarded.

This place gave her chills. It felt haunted, broken. Though the sky was light and the dark rock baked in the sun's heat, the maiden still shivered. Her gilded coat would stick out like the moon in a dark, otherwise starless night sky. The land was desolate, a bleak wind stirring up small clouds of dust in her vision. This was how she imagined her former kingdom to be; dark, burnt, utterly destroyed. Jagged yet smooth, as all things molten and cooled become. The fact that she had traveled for so long only to end up in a strange, craggy landscape did nothing to ease her discomfort and rather foul mood. The creatures that scurried along had better watch out.

There was nothing remotely edible around, not even a dead bush. Too bad for the small pangs of hunger in her belly. How long had it been since she took the time to graze, to drink? No matter, even if food were to magically appear, she could not bring herself to eat it. No sign of the lush plant life that used to grow along the river in her home. The only sign of life around here would be herself and the lizards that she had noticed, scattered around, fleeing at her footsteps. It truly was the middle of nowhere. But at least there was quiet, if not for the whispering of the wind against the stony plane, and there was space. The mare shook out her pelt and silver mane, watching as dust loosened and drifted off. She'd had no time to keep well-groomed.

Twice already she had took a moment's rest, catching breaths that were filled with fine dust, letting out a cough or two. It seemed the singe and soot of her burning kingdom was trapped in her lungs, made worse by the irritating grains of rock that came with a place like this. She hated it. Hated the absence of color, the obsidian landscape, the dusty air, the starkness between the sky and the earth, black and blue-gray. From the horizon arose sharp and shadowed shapes which she assumed were all part of the terra. She reminded herself that at least there was space, room to run for a while, if she could muster up the energy to do so. On she continued. Hopefully there was an end to this lifeless land that might once have been a mighty kingdom, long since burned, and blazed, and melted.
