The brindle figure decided to rest his tired legs and sore ankles, so he approached the shore and lay down just like Secret, but without the 'pillow' of rocks and pebbles to keep his head up. Instead, he still faced the flames, watching with interest and sorrow. The river was up to his chest as he lay, his dark eyes reflecting the flames and thinking back on what had happened. Racing into a fiery trap, leaping over the flames, and escaping to run with the mare to the safety of the river, long strides as he had shot as fast as a rocket, or so he thought. Of course he could not go that fast, but with all the work he had done he almost felt like he was going at the speed of lightening, and his hooves rumbling like thunder. He let out a soft sigh, what a disaster this day was turning out to be. All except one thing... He glanced over to the mare, watching her for just a moment, insuring that there were no dangers to her. The river seemed relatively calm where they were resting, so the risk of drowning was pretty much nothing, for the currents would have to be extremely strong to pull them deep into the water from the shallow embankments they were laying in.
His eyes returned to the forest, no longer green but a swirl of orange and red, blending into a black sky, thick with smoke that no one could breath. His eyes watered and again, remembering the way the air stung. These were not crying tears, but really just tears from the needle-like pain the thick 'fog' had given him. He shuddered at the thought of not jumping those flames, being consumed and killed in a smoldering death. He watched as small "v"s in the sky flew away, the birds in the distance had cut through the black clouds and tried to reach the light blue colour it once was moments before. He watched deer flee, and small little specks in the distance, mice, marmots, and rabbits, abandon their homes and dens from the attack. What had started the angry source of heat? Who could know? Dallas shook his head softly to rid himself of these thoughts, and turned away from the flames. It was too painful to watch any more animals race away, for all he could think about was the number of those trapped, and the burning feeling they'd have until their bodies would turn to ashes.
