The white figure moves swiftly across the land. Like a ghost, for which her coat pattern is named from. The change in season had brought a sudden frost to the area, the higher altitude causing the chilly air below to become fridgid up here. She whickered softly to herself, the air expelling out of her mouth and appearing in front of her. She shook her head, mane flying around her as she moved from her fast paced trot and into a canter. Her feet sunk into the ground with a crunch as the sky lit up; the sun was beginning to rise. She quickened her pace, working her way up a hill and coming to a stop at the top. The bright ball of fire peeked of the horizon, turning the dark blue sky into a much lighter color, gleaming with yellow highlights. She closed her eyes and exhaled, smiling as the rays seemed to touch her skin. She loved this time of day, as the sun rose into the sky, the earth rotating back around full circle from yesterday, where she stood in the same spot and watched as it ascended. The chirping of some groggy birds nearby could be heard, as they readied themselves to depart for a day of looking for food and supplies for their nests. Other animals would be doing the same, though the were much quieter; while others would be doing the opposite, settling in for a day of rest and sleep from the tiring night. The pale equine shook her head again, stretching her neck out in front of her and letting her muzzle drop to the ground as she swished her tail from side to side. The area was calm around her and she enjoyed it. She felt at ease and totally in her element when standing here, alone, as the sun rose. She snorted softly, lifting her head and looking back up at the sky, the autumn winds tugging at hermane and tail and the rays shone against her coat, making it appear almost yellow in nature. She sighed again, relaxing as she immersed herself in the sounds and images around her.

I can't decide if I'll let you save my life,
Or if I'll drown…

Cyril's eyes scanned the frosty landscape, it felt so deserted. The two past Alphas had disappeared, and now with the war, Ramaskith had claimed all but the north. But it felt too deserted, shouldn't there be troops here? There obviously wasn't. He flicked his white forelock out of his bright eyes, dropping his head to the ground as he traveled, light fog escaping his arched nostrils. He swished his tail, his ears perking as a light sweet scent filled his nose. He raised his head, pausing. Was there a mare here? The corner of his lips curved up slightly, the scent intoxicating his head as he got closer. He shook his head, trying to get the scent away, but it drew to him. He lowered his head, focusing on the frosted ground, and lipping at some grass as he moved along. He walked slowly, watching the edge of his hooves come in and out of sight.

Suddenly his head hit a almost-white figure. He snorted and stepped back, snapping his head up. "Oh! Sorry 'bout that!" Cy blurted, pausing as his eyes widened slightly. His breath stuttered as he smiled smally, his eyes scanning over the white figure that was spotted with greyish blue. He flicked his tail nervously, the scent hitting him strongly and his ears perked towards her. He had more self-control then this though, but it was in his veins to breed any available mare. "Sorry to run into you, it was my fault for not paying attention." He said, hoping she didn't think him weird.

Catori's ears perked at the sound of someone appraoching, though she didn't open her eyes or turn to see who it might be. If they chose to disturb her, then that was fine, but she would stand here and enjoy her quiet time if they decided to move along. It wasn't that she didn't like the company, quite the opposite, she enjoyed talking to others. She just liked the sun rise more than that. The soft crunching of footsteps got closer, though the unknown equine wasn't moving very fast. This time she did open her eyes, slightly turning her head to the side to see what they were doing. If they wanted to talk to her, so be it, but if they were just going to dwaddle by she was going to say something. As she turned her head though, it appeared like the stranger was much closer than she though, and he actually ran into her. Immediately he came to attention, almost as if he hadn't noticed her there at all, quickly apologizing. She gave him a weird look as the last word was slightly drawn out and his eyes grew a few centimeters before he could regain his composure. He smiled though, and she smiled back, suppressing a small laugh at his reaction. He then rephrased his hasty apology, repeating his words and adding blame to himself. This time she did give a small laugh, "It's quite alright," she assured him, "No harm done." She tilted her head to the side. "Though I do wonder what had your mind so preoccupied. It's not that easy to just run into someone." She giggled softly, shaking her head.

Here we go again,
I kinda wanna be more then friends...

'It's quite alright, no harm done.' The mare said, as she smiled back. 'Though I do wonder what had your mind so preoccupied. It's not that easy to just run into someone, she added with a giggle. Cy snorted a laugh softly, "You know, I really don't know how I did either. I am sorry though, I guess I'm just so…" Cy tried to think of a word to explain how he felt. Preoccupied? Restless? "I don't know, I guess my mind just wandering today," he said with a small laugh. His nostrils flared slightly as the wind shifted, and he reached down to rub his maw against his foreleg, scratching an itch.

Cyril didn't notice how everything got really quiet. There were no small animals scurrying around and a eerie silence settled in the clearing. Cyril flicked his ears back, snorting quietly as his eyes darted around. Something was wrong… a small crackle cause Cy to dart his head around the mare. A flash of silver… wolves. Cy pinned his ears and stepped back. "Uhm, we should probably leave. Like, now." Cyril said quietly, stepping in front of the mare. It wasn't even dark! Why were the wolves out?!

Catori laughed again, "That's three apologies now. Two too many." She shook her head. She took a moment to actually see who she was talking to, remember his image. He had spots that were dotted across his dark pelt, making it appear darker than she knew it was. The harsh sunlight also lit up the white markings and made them appear as if they were glowing against the dark bay, glinting a yellowish tint. Where her neck was blue, his was white, trailing all the way down to his hooves. He had feathering under his chin and jaw, and a little one his legs, leading her to believe some hairy draft lineage was there. He was tall, and slightly bulky, though some other ancestry had diluted the draft characteristics so that they were minimal. She was just about to introduce herself, realizing that she hadn't, when something else seemed to catch the stag's attention. She turned her head to see what it was and let out a small squeak as she saw the shadows in the trees move. Her ears rotated at the sudden silence around her. Why hadn't she noticed?
"Uhm, we should probably leave. Like, now," he said, and she nodded once, afraid to speak, turning and eying him as he moved forward. Where were they supposed to go? And what if the wolves followed? Surely they knew the way through the surrounding forests better than they did. She stepped up beside the bay, glad he had appeared. She didn't know what she would have done if she had still been alone when the wolves appeared.

The mare laughed again, 'That's three apologies now. Two too many' She said, before shaking her head. Yet right then she grew quiet. She seemed too afraid to speak as she moved next to Cy. He breathed quietly, eyes staring at the trees. Another flash, getting closer. He stepped back, his hoof making the slightest crunch before the wolves lunged out, yapping and snarling like mad.

Cyril reared up, whinnying out and striking at a wolf that lunged the mare. It fell to the ground, blood pouring from it's crania. "Run!" Cy bellowed, kicking another wolf in the ribs so hard it hit a tree. He snorted, pawing the ground as another wolf darted past him towards the mare. Cy pushed his hindquarters, muscles rippling as he caught up to the wolf. Cy grasped it's scruff and threw it back. It jumped up and grasped his hind leg, razor sharp teeth sinking to the bone. Cy huffed and yipped a bit, before kicking the wolf's jaw with that leg. The wolf yipped yet didn't let go. Cyril snorted and pushed his weight back on the wolf, slamming down to the ground and rolling. The wolf's neck snapped and Cy jumped up, holding his hind leg up tenderly. He didn't see any other wolves, but they could be lurking. He limped over to the mare, nosing her shoulder as he approached. "You- you okay?" He asked, catching his breath.

He told her to run, and so she did. But only for a few strides before she turned to make sure he was following. She wasn't just going to leave him to play with the wolves while she tried to get away. What kind of person would she be if she did? One of the wolves had beelined for her, and she snorted, turning to begin to run again. She definitely wouldn't last long if she stayed and tried to fight them off. She quickly cantered a few yards, twisting around and seeing the bay stag coming towards her, the wolf on the ground, motionless. She huffed. Good. Rotten thing. The stallion brushed her shoulder and she turned to look at him, attention shifting from the dead wolf to him. "You- you okay?" She get a soft snort, "Am I okay? Are you okay?" She asked, lowering her head and turning to look at his leg. She jumped back up though, "Oh! I'm Catori byt the way. I feel weird not knowing your name, so I suppose I should tell you mine." She smiled before turning back to look at his leg without a response. The punctures were deep where the wolf had bit down, leaving depressions in the tendons and tears where it's mouth had been ripped free. She could see the shine of bone under the tendons, and she lifted her head to look back at the stag, "How bad does it hurt?" she asked, trying to not give anything away in her expression. She imagined he hurt a lot. It made her own leg throb just my looking at it. And the time it'd take to heal! Tendons were tricky things, she remembered pulling one a long time ago. Horrible pain, and it took forever. She hoped maybe it would be different because he hadn't pulled his tendon... Just... Had a wolf bite into it.

'Am I okay? Are you okay?' She asked, turning to look at his leg. She jumped back up though, 'Oh! I'm Catori bye the way. I feel weird not knowing your name, so I suppose I should tell you mine,' she said with a smile before turning to look at his leg again. "I'll be okay," Cy huffed, setting the edge of his hoof on the the ground and wincing slightly. "Oh, I'm Cyril, or Cy. It's nice to meet you" Cy said with a smile, before reaching down and nudging her shoulder softly.

'How bad does it hurt?' She asked, and Cy looked down at his own wound, almost gaging when he saw the tore flesh and a tan shimmer of bone. "It doesn't hurt to bad now, but I bet it'll get worse. I'll just have to suffer through it," Cy said with a laugh, thinking how bad it was going to be when the adrenaline faded. It wouldn't be long either. He tested resting it on the ground, wincing as he stepped forward.

She could tell he was in pain, and she was grateful that he didn't try to hide it like anyone else would. He introduced himself as Cyril. Cy for short. He nudged her shoulder and she glanced back over at him, seeing the smile on his face. It didn't look like he was in that much pain. Though, once he actually saw the wound, she could tell that the pain hadn't truly hit him yet. She nodded once, yes it would get worse. The endorphins his body was producing would wear off and he would be able to feel it. She felt bad that she couldn't do anything about it though, and she hated that he used the word 'suffer.' No one should have to suffer. He ended his statement with a laugh, short and unenthusiastic. She frowned, feeling completely helpless standing there beside him. He tried to step forward, wincing as he did so. "No, no! You shouldn't try to walk on it, silly!" She shook her head and stepped up in front of him to prevent him from trying to go any further, her muzzle pressing against his withers as she passed, as if to hold him in place. "It will only make it worse!" She huffed, her eyes pulling together. "You should just...stay right there and not move." She nodded once. Obviously that was the best thing to do. Stand there...until..it was healed? That might not be such a good idea either. Her eyes pulled further together, a look of frustration as she tried to figure out what would be best. Maybe walking on it was better, until they found some place more suitable for him to rest? She bit her lip, unsure of what to do.

'No, no! You shouldn't try to walk on it, silly!' She said, shaking her head before stepping in front of him. She pressed her maw against his withers and a slight tingle erupted below his skin. 'It will only make it worse! You should just… stay right there and not move,' she said, nodding once more. Cy nodded, wise one she was. "You're right. I shouldn't try to move on it," he said, but he couldn't stand here forever. He'd have to move eventually, and with autumn came chilly nights.

At least it wasn't even mid day. It still confused him why the wolves had been out this late for them, he'd of thought they'd be sleeping away. But no, they had decided to have a late snack. "I do think we should move though, we don't want any more wolves to come…" Cy said, though his leg was starting to throb little by little as the time passed.
