Demascous's flesh rippled as his tireless limbs pushed him forth. A think melody streamed from his chest in the form of a deep bellow. Each of his four plates stabbed at the geo with perfect rhythm and lethal accuracy. His journey has been a long one, but his painted self continued to move onward. Each time he contemplated stopping his mind would revolt with images of what had been. A shudder ripped across his carcass at the thought. The bedraggled scent of other horses had slowly been filling his nostrils for the past mile or so, he knew he was coming up on a small settlement of them, and he knew there would more than likely not receive a very warm welcome. His pelt was dingy with dust and mud, his eyes were tired and cold,and his towers sat pricked atop his head, swiveling madly at any and all noises. His mind had begun toying with him a few hours ago and now it was almost too bad to ignore. The black and white stallion quickly dismissed this weakness he was feeling with a brisk snort, sending a plume of dust into the air ahead of him. Within moments he would be in the center of the claimed land, and he knew he needed to rest and regather himself, but he really wasnt looking forward to staying at this place. The thought of desperate heated mares and more than willing stallions roving around made him want to turn right back around and disappear once again into the unclaimed lands between here and the next place. Dem's lanterns flickered as his exhaustion crept up on him yet again. But now he had made it to the herd lands and could rest. If all went well that is. A low whinny soared from his cage towards who ever there was to hear him. His weary hooves drug during his next few steps, his limbs quivering for a break, but he made sure he was ready at any moment to bolt and be out of here forever.
