The calls of the animals in the night gave the Meadow an eerie feeling as the lone stallion traversed across the grassy expanse on his way to return to his home kingdom. Aten had ventured out earlier that day to search for horses that could potentially be suitable recruits for the Taiga, not necessarily as a force to protect or to join the band with the silver tongues, but to offer them refuge. That was the picture that Lilitha had set in mind, a free land where there was no ranking system, only horses who wished to live in peace.
Although, in Aten's case, he was fully willing to provide protection to those who needed it, and would be glad to answer the call should the kingdom of Nerine, the one who watched over their land, ask for help from it's followers. He was not one to stand by and watch as others gave their lives to save him. The stallion was fully capable of watching out for himself, and if it meant he could do the same for others, he would gladly do so.
The moon in the night sky cast an etheral glow on the stallion's golden coat, making it shimmer like a single star that had fallen to Earth. The seashells in his mane and tail would clack together every so often, the noise they made echoing into the silence. That was the main reason Aten had slowed his pace down to a walk, to try and stop his... unfortunate blemish from spooking any other horse that may be out here this time of night. For although he knew the cause, others didn't, and he wouldn't give them an unnecessary fright.
His ever watchful eyes would glance back and forth to pick out what he could in the limited darkness before focusing on the path ahead of him once again so he would not lose track of where he was going. At one point, however, he spotted something over to his left, seeing that it appeared to be a horse, but unsure considering it's coat matched the night sky.
Aten was not surprised at the unusual coloring of the horse's coat; he'd seen more outlandish ones before. But something that matched the night sky itself? That was truly something very special. Out of curiosity and a wonder to see something like that up close, Aten shifted his path so he was heading in that direction, not a big change since he was already close enough.
He was a few yards away when he caught the horse's scent on the wind. He couldn't tell whether it was a mare or a stallion from where he was, but by height alone, it seemed the other was on the younger side. Perhaps close to full grown, he was still a good distance away, but definitely younger than Aten himself. He kept his gait light as he approached the other horse, his posture relaxed to avoid sending off a bad vibe as he continued to get closer.
