"every villain is a hero in his own mind."
The heat of the day pressed in around Ghost like a smothering glove as he stood at the edge of the protected forest, grazing on the soft grasses of the meadow. But it was not just heat that pressed down upon him. The electricity of the coming storm seemed to flow on the wind, which increased by the second, sending this gray and white streaked mane flying around him. He raised his head from the grasses to look out over the plains, only to see the darkening clouds racing towards him. Closing his eyes and breathing deeply, the scent of water and rains brought a shiver along his spine, only seconds before the downpour came from the sky, darkening his already dappled coat. He stood there for a moment, breathing it all in. No boundaries between horse and storm.
When the driving rain became too much against his sensitive skin, he was forced to retreat to the secluded forest and the protection of the trees. He shook the water out of his man and tail, finding a dense tree to stand under, waiting out the worst of the rain and winds. When the worst of it had passed and the rain was little more than a drizzle, the gray stallion set out deeper into the forest. With the heat of the day having met the intense rain, a thick fog had settled between the trees, seeming to muffle his hoof falls even more than the leaf litter did on it's own.
He moved steadily at a slow walk, not seeming to be in a great hurry, for he truly wasn't. There was no where for him to go, no one to wait on him. Though after walking along for a few minutes, he did find someone. He lifted his head high, high blue eyes piercing out of the fog light self lit lanterns, though it was little more than the sun peaking out of the clouds, shedding it's grace to the ground, with him included. He eyed the spotted horse with a curious expression, shaking out his mane again, though it was largely dry at this point. "Care for some company?" he asked quietly, his voice be softened by the same fog that softened his hoofbeats.
