NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU ARE, FOR SURELY THE WORLD WILL NOT;
Shrykos had spent her life among the sage and cacti in the rolling hills of Salem. It had been quite long enough, and she was plenty old enough to fend for herself and venture elsewhere. Horses had come and gone in her home, and with them were the scents unknown to her - of briny seas, tropical greenery, icy tundra. Things she had always yearned to experience on her own.
Plunging into the seas with no destination in mind, she followed the birds that tittered, cackled and danced in the endless blue skies above her. The swim to the mainland had been long and arduous. Shrykos' muscles ached from the constant motion against the push and pull of the waves. It was nothing like galloping the sandy expanses of Salem. Her coat now clung to her frame like a second skin, heavy with saltwater. Despite her weariness, she pressed on, traversing through unfamiliar terrain until she reached the commons.
Exhaustion weighed on her with every step. Her hooves moved with a deliberate slowness as she followed the distant sound of rushing water. As she drew closer, the ambient noise grew louder, a symphony of cascading waters calling through the dense vegetation that bordered the Commons. The sight before her was worth every tired step - crystal clear water tumbled down from impressive heights, splashing against ancient rocks before continuing its journey through lush vegetation. The mist created rainbows where sunlight touched it, painting the air with ephemeral hues.
Shrykos' tired eyes scanned the area until she found what she needed - a bank of sand that surrounded the crystalline pool beneath the falls. She couldn’t help but scoff at herself, amused that she traveled so far just to find solace in the sand once more. She lowered herself carefully, exhaling as she curled into the soft and familiar ground.
A deep sigh escaped her as she finally allowed herself to relax. The combination of the sun's warmth, the rhythmic sound of falling water, the peaceful sanctuary of the Falls lulled her into a state of light sleep. Her eyelids grew heavy, fluttering closed as she gave in to a well-deserved doze.
