The basin is silent as the sun rises slowly o’er the mountain’s vertices, casting them in fiery sungold hues of blood red and aureate. Slowly over the darkened land the sunlight falls, setting the forests from ebon to verdant in slowly flashes. The swathes of fire land upon the valley, setting the fauna to life and warmth, the flowers unfurling delicate eyes to view their life-giver. The first tickling rays of the morning’s sun fall upon the reposing being and he flexes lazily. Slowly he rises, limbs slightly apart and he blinks the sleep from tempest-gray eyes. Tail sets forth in its flicking, unconsciously ridding the airborne pests of summer that plague all equines. A frostbitten breeze blows from the forest, still cool from the night’s darkness and his flesh crawls, his body shuddering against the chill. Fores lift and motion begins in smooth order, taking him from the penumbratic weald to the sunlit field, the tepidness permeating his being. A smile caresses labrums in silence and heels are flailed heaven-ward, black feathered hocks slamming powerfully back into the turf a moment later. He starts lazy shuffle forward once more, and kneels in an awkward manner before the stream. Hands cup the water and he drinks, catching a glimpse of himself in the mirrored water. He frowns and the water is splashed upon rostrum and head is shaken madly, sending hair flying in all cardinals. As he rises, the thought of smoothing his water-styled mane nonexistent in his mind, auds curve in sudden alarm. Another being has entered the valley. Musculature tenses, body become as iron and darkened gaze follows the perimeter of the area. Physique falls slack at the discoverence that the other being is a virago; a virago of his kind, nonetheless! Amazement drips from the youth as eyes take her in slowly. His former retinue was small, consisting of his mothers and father. His siblings had all been male, so sighting of a female of his race is a new thing indeed. Horse-like whuff escapes being and lips purse slightly as he whistles to her, mockery of a horse’s high-pitched scream. He then stands taught, waiting and wondering.
