my blood is a flood of rubies; any

[Sunshadow]

The golden stallion walked silently through the forest lushness, his coat gleaming in the moonlight. After leaving the fields at dawn he had reached the far edge of the forest at nightfall. he smelt the scent of pastures and and water on the wind and knew he was nearing the border of Tephra. He would have to change is course. It wasn't  that he didn't want to find a 'home', he was still unsure of returning to herd life and just walking into someone else's kingdom would be disrespectful.  Just as he was about to change direction a familiar, unnamed scent caught him. Pricking his ears he gave a quiet snort sending billows of moisture into the cool, night air.
he followed it to a small clearing where he saw a young filly, she shouldn't be out alone he thought and acted quickly, knowing all too well what it was like to be driven from a home and wished not so on this young filly. stepping into the clearing he didn't see the figure at the edge and spoke to the cream colored foal
"are you sure your meant to be here young one?" he spoke softly but firm..
