She’d come around with a sharp inhale, and the world she’d appeared to have woken up within felt… wrong. The stone beneath her knees was cold, uneven, ancient… fractured as if time itself had taken a bite out of this place… wherever or whatever this place was.
Rosen lifted her head, ears perking at the soft sound of that familiar clanking of hooves on cobblestone, somewhere beyond the broken walls. It was too close… too strange…
Fragrances from all directions rushed towards her all at once, earthy, moss, fox… something roosting overhead – it caused her to jolt backwards from her kneel, muscles coiling beneath her without a second thought.
Her eyes widened, appearing brighter and more alert and she’d surge upwards to her feet with a regal sharp motion, her mane brushing against her neck softly. Rosen bobbed her head and her nostrils flared as she ingested every scent she could… though something was missing.
There was no herd here… no familiar warmth… just ruins, and the echoing of the winds circulating the walls of the shelter she was beneath.
A dream? Surely… and yet… everything felt too sharp… to real… If this was a dream? It was doing a damn bad job of letting her wake up.
