Dagda was not a fan of the cold. When he'd risen from a patchy slumber that Autumn morning, a freezing nose and frosty breath had greeted him. Goodness knows why he'd found himself in the north of the continent, of all places. Although, he had to admit, a cold butt when he sat was much better than a one sodden from constant rains, Auster.
Once the male got moving though, he warmed up well enough. Although he made light of it in his head, the upcoming cold months were a prominent worry in the male's head. It would not be his first Winter riding solo, but he'd been travelling through a horrid humid and sticky place that he never wished to go back to. Dagda had not appreciated the unrelenting sun which seemed to constantly torment his with its' laser gaze, or the nasty coyotes who had hounded him.
Around noon, the wind began to pick up, ruffling his mahogany fur and jumbling up all the scents around him. A tangy, sulphurous smell caught his attention. The medic wrinkled his nose. "What the heck is that? Deciding to investigate, the loner switched directions, trotting into seemingly into the middle of nowhere until BOOM! A great column of bone-meltingly hot water shot into the air only a few metres in front of him.
"Aah!" Scrabbling backwards away from the nightmare, watched wide-eyed as the water continued to spurt up and then stopped as soon as it came, leaving only a great cloud of steam behind.
