The silence of the deserted road was broken by the muffled sound of hoof steady hoof beats gently approaching.
A thin mist gathered and swirled around dancing away as the hoof came down. Almost like a slow dance in fact the mist seemed to follow the young figure. A few slot-eyed goats watched him with mild interest. It doesn't take much to interest goats, but all took note of the shadow following in the mist and quickly moved out of sight.
The young centaur knew nothing of the shadow creature following him. Only that it told him where to go and when to sleep. To him this apparition was his only family.
~Go left Cayden. Follow the path left~ the voice whispered as the fog inched closer to the cross roads.
Without hesitation the young taur turned slightly and headed down the Dark forest path into the unknown.
