To even the most nimble of equine the passage of time would have felt like ages. Unfortunately for Florence, she was no spry youngster. Her joints, having crossed prairie, forded rivers, and climbed hills for several years, the journey to where she found herself presently left her knees and hocks aching. Her head bobbed with each stride, thankful for the comforting forest loam beneath her hooves as she pressed onwards. Bright cerulean eyes scanned the sun dappled landscape and eyed the spaces between the monolithic trees. The shade cast from their great branches above brought respite from the heavy heat just beyond their verdant leaves. Thankful still, a slight breeze billowed through it, carrying a bitter scent that made her nostrils twitch if she drew it too deeply. It wasn't like anything she'd personally experienced, but Florence didn't let it deter her.
There had to be someone out there somewhere. Not only had the journey taken its toll on her physically but emotionally. Though she may not appreciate admitting it, Florence was rather lonely. Leaving behind her sons, daughters, and friends had been a difficult task, but she couldn't fight her lead's decisions. Through the aches and yearning belly she snorted, her ivory tail lashing behind her stronger than before. Disheveled and alone, she felt a fool. Her, Florence, a fool. Ha! The very idea made her skin crawl and she gave into the desire to grind her teeth a bit. She, a dam to successful equine across the valleys and forests she'd once rose and woke to every day. There was no one to blame but herself and despite not necessarily agreeing with the situation she was not one for insubordination.
Her audits flicked atop her head both to shoo away the smallest of gnashing insects seeking to nip and to listen. Forests, while comforting and a shelter from the elements, left her rather vulnerable to danger. Experience taught her to keep her guard up, no matter how much she wished to quietly brood about her misfortunes. Deer weren't the only large game for predators. If she became too complacent, who knew? She could find herself dinner. "Ha!" her course voice barked into the otherwise birdsong and forest choir, "I'd like to see them try."
