The Bird is the Word

The stallion took the day off from watching over his flocks. The pack had it handled, nobody had come knocking on their door trying to steal them, so it was safe to say he could go off and do his own thing for the day. He made his way westward for a short trip. The season, despite being winter, was...pleasant. It wasn't too bad save for a blizzard here and there, but it was mild compared to past winters he had lived through. What he hadn't anticipated, however, is how thirsty he'd get. He had forgotten to drink before leaving, and now he was feeling a tad parched. Unfortunately for him, despite the temperate winter season, the small streams he found above ground was frozen solid. He had broken a patch here and there with his hoof, but it was still difficult to get a decent drink from the shallow streams. Instead, the stallion followed the water paths toward an underground cavern, and the further he followed, the more he could hear fresh running water. It seemed winter's reach hadn't quite been able to get its grip on the underground streams, luckily for him!

Nickering with delight, he carefully and slowly made his way into the cavern. He remained alert, however, for any signs of danger. After all, horses did not belong in the underground, and he was sure that danger potentially lurked beneath the surface of the world. He remained close to the stream, ready to fight or flee should he need to. For now though, his massive head leaned toward the water and he began to drink his fill, ears on a swivel for any danger that might present itself.
