Duties taken care of for the day, Danuvius was happy to take some time to explore the Free Lands. There had been a time when he was content enough to restrict his explorations to Oinaze itself, but ever since the inferno that had roared through the land...
Well, suffice to say that the charred landscape left in its wake was hardly ideal for finding his most favourite creatures in the world.
A slight frown curved his lips downward. He had not been home at the time of the fire, running an errand at the request of Sinne at the time. Perhaps it was just as well that he did not, therefore, know how the fire had gotten started. For, in the smoke-choked depths of Oinaze's labyrinthine system of caves, in that special little section he had found to keep safe a few turtles throughout their time of hibernation... the poor little creatures had been doomed. As bad as the smoke would have been for any horses within, it had been so much worse for their little lungs.
Giving himself a slight shake, Dan tried not to think of what had happened. Instead, he focused on his surroundings. The spring sun was warm upon his bay dun overo hide. A beautiful day, with life making its comeback as it stepped away from the long, cold winter months. Early mornings before the sun's rise might still reveal edgings of ice along the lake, but Dan suspected those mornings were getting fewer by the day. And best of all, turtles would be emerging from hibernation.
If he was lucky, perhaps he'd spot one today! Character;; Danuvius Tagged;; fleabittengray w/Dragula Notes;; Sorry it's so short! Timeline;; 7 yrs; early afternoon; shortly before Sly's death.
