~!~ The day is bright, warm, brimming with life and happiness, the air surrounding you almost smiling. Moving forward, motion smooth and undistrubed by any distractions, you decide to take a turn down a different path in the woods, this one more dense and heavily vegitated. But something shrieks, swooping past you in a flurry of dark wings, and started, you take off at a terrified, lopsided gallop. Heart slowly returning to normal as you come to your senses, you pause, looking around with worry. You have strayed far... Where is the path? Where are you? Anxious perspiration beading your forehead, dampening your sticky forelock, you scuttle sideways, the forest looking so strange and frightening. Bumping into a large bush, you step the other way, finding yourself trapped between this scraggly brush and another exactly like it on your other side - leaving you no other choice but to move forward. And as you do so, light finds you, and you enter a large clearing, spacious and teeming with life and lush, green grasses. Bright flowers dot the turf, a clear stream bubbling merrily through the center of the large, rolling meadow. A few horses play airly, dashing, laughing through the soft rays of sunlight. Breaking away from the group, a tall, lanky stallion jigsaws towards you, young and carefree, ebony coat glinting with the love of life. ~!~ Oh... hello! Where did you come from? ~!~ Eyeing your somewhat tattered wardrobe, he smiles brightly. ~!~ I see... you were lost. Well, now that you’re here would you like a drink? I invite you to stay as long as you please! ~!~ Energetic, youthful, he bounds back towards his small band, rejoining in their fun and games. ~!~
