ith each pounding stride, Lucifer found his gaze locked harder and harder upon the mare. Fear still coated his blood and ran through his heart, but he had just enough sense to put his gaze upon the creature that had given him just enough of a grasp on reality to move. It had his body moving with hers, his thick shoulder staying close to her haunch as they raced through the territory and forest. It gave him a sense of freedom in that moment, his mind wandering just a faint touch until the beach came up in his view.
Sliding to a stop upon the beach, Lucifer moved similar to the mare other than he had more power behind his movements. With his larger size, the stallion could not stop as quick as she did. It had him leaving a long furrow in the ground where his hooves slid and to where he stopped, his head hung as his slides heaved up and down in panting breaths. He had not ran that long or that hard in a long time, which made things worse. He had been in the Peak for a small while, but it was not good enough for him to grow the stamina needed to really move out like that for a long while.
Flicking his gaze up though, Lucifer looked at the mare and caught her eye before his own head turned and he listened to the road behind them. He could no longer hear the bear, but he would rather not take many more chances. The starving creature was terrifying and this demonic black horse could no longer say he had never feared anything. That was why when he turned his head back to the mare, he gave her a faint snort before his head tilted in a fashion of a nod.
“Why did you save me?”
