| | Schulee |
The sun was warm against Schulee's back as he grazed quietly amongst the bright poppys and bell flowers. His only company for the last several days had been the honey bees that hummed past him hurriedly from one petal to another on their quest to create honey for their hive, and the occasional song bird that fluttered overhead with a merry chirp before a gentle breeze carried their songs away. As much as he enjoyed the peaceful silence, he had grown lonesome and bored of his own company and longed for something, someone, anything to cross his path. Even if it was for a short while.
"
Maybe this was a mistake..." he thought idly to himself while lifting his head to survey the surroundings, mouth full of sweet meadow grass. He hadn't taken into account the amount of effort it would be to travel this way. Alone. His usual kind and back personality had overtime been replaced with irritability and suspicion. Were there predators around? Was it safe to graze here? What if a herd thought he was intruding? It was all taking a mental toll on the young stallion and while he longed to venture as for as he could into new lands, doing it alone was proving to be quite the challenge.The thought of never meeting another herd or even another nomad such as himself crept across his mind. With a snort and a firm flick of his tail, he forced the though away- for now at least. There had to be others around..right? Perhaps he just hadn't traveled far enough. Yeah, that was it.
A heavy sigh escaped from his nostrils as he shifted his eyes back towards the grass, watching a honeybee dive headfirst into a flower. "Don't get discouraged." He reminded himself, although he felt it was easier said than done.
