Now or Never

[Kreios]

kreios don't you tame your demons, but always keep them on a leash Theloud whinny is what first catches my attention, and I raise my head from my grazing to see a golden mare rear up on a nearby hill. She’s gone in a flash, disappearing over the crest. Intrigued, I move away from my meal and follow her up the hill, my long strides making easy work of the distance. I top the hill and look around, but she is racing far ahead of me. Eventually she circles back and I head toward her, enjoying the feel of the sun on my pale back, but by the time I reach her she’s already dozing. Puzzle, I lower my head to try and see if she’s perhaps simply miming sleep, but she appears to be genuinely asleep. While the Field is not a particularly dangerous place – at least not while it is not breeding season – I am still unsure if it is the best place to let down one’s guard entirely. There is a black and white stallion nearby, and while he is large he is nowhere near my size,. He does not seem interested in the dozing mare (he is busy prancing), but I am still hesitant. Though I’d like to speak with her, I know better than to wake up sleeping mares. I decide to stand guard several yards away instead, browsing on the grass as I keep an eye out for danger and wait for the palomino mare to wake up.
