Hayagriva walked through the forest. He was on patrol that day, checking the boundaries of the Padmapani herd's land to make sure that nothing was amiss. He didn't expect anything exciting. Most of these trips ended up just being a pleasant stretch of the legs. Every once in a while he met a traveling soquili but they were usually pleasant enough.
He had decided to head out today because of the sky. The sky was full of hanging gray clouds. Haya would bet his mane that it would snow heavily that night. Even for an elder like himself it was hard to move about in deep snow, so he thought he'd take one last look around before he became mired with the rest of the herd.
The walking was putting him in a good mood and he smiled as he went. He thought about the snowstorms he had experienced as a foal. He hadn't had any siblings to play with but always had seemed to find more than enough trouble on his own.

Her mother had sent word, although she hadn't been happy that Yamika had chosen to leave rather than fight for her father, she still had feelings for her shadowy alicorn daughter and would not want her killed. So Yamika had been on the move ever since, flying during the night, and travelling on hoof when she could fly no longer, which was what she was doing at the moment, her hooves heavy but she still felt she could not stop moving. She had no idea how long her Grandmother would pursue her, and so she had only been stopping when absolutely necessary, or when she just couldn't move any further without sleep.
She found herself now on the edge of a forest and moved inside it, limbs shaking. She had to stop again and stopping at the base of a very tall fir tree, slid down into a hollow formed by the roots and shut her eyes, her sides heaving with her breath.
'Just a minute,' she said to herself, and her eyes shut, her ears pricked for any noise.
