Morning in a New Land
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2005 5:20 pm
Dawn slowly raised her head to greet the day, in both the metaphorical sense and the literal one. Stunning red and golden hues struck a coat of similar brilliance as a sturdy female serian stretched her limbs, shaking her head until her mane fell the way she wanted it to. She blinked her eyes in sleepy annoyance. Why did the morning have to come so violently on the days when all a person wanted to do was sleep?
She caught herself thinking that, and let out a little whinny of amusement. Here she was, only awake for two seconds and already thinking cynically about things. After considering this for a moment, she shrugged it off. There had been a time in her life when she had decided quite firmly that she was going to take a more positive outlook, but she had passed that time in her life and didn't quite want to bother anymore.
In any case, she knew that sleeping was not the thing to do today. There came a time in everyone's life when they simply decided to throw everything aside for a bit and see someplace new and different. For Dawn, the choice of where to go had been glaringly obvious. Shatter was good company in his own way, but ... he made her nervous, to be quite honest. It had been a surprisingly long time since Dawn had seen anyone else of her own kind, and she was longing for conversation that didn't consist of discussing how best to decapitate an intruding rabbit.
So she had manged to find her way back here to her homeland. It was time, she told herself firmly, to be sociable.
