The young Pegasus made an uneasy whickering sound low in her throat, shuddering as the sound broke the stillness around her. She lowered her head in alarm, ears flattening back, feathers rustling before her wings flattened tight against her sides.
With little choice otherwise, the mare began to slowly walk through the mists. As a prey animal, her every instinct screamed for her to take off running, to flap her wings and flee. But she didn't know what might be up there, and she would rather be down here where she could escape than up there where she would be a sitting duck. Her wings, especially, would be at the most risk, as there was nothing nearby them to protect them. Her hooves were too far away, and she could twist her head enough while flying without going into a roll.
The mare's trot slowed to a walk, golden eyes squinting as something glowing back to approach. Her eyes crossed, and she spooked backwards as a small glowing orb flew up to her. "Whoa!" she gasped, shaking her head.
And then a... monster-beast-thing appeared. It had a large frame, brackish color fur, and gleaming orange scales on its fore legs. Like her, it also had wings, and an odd looking tail. The beast left a stream of smoke behind it, with more horns than she cared to count. For a moment, she froze, before spooking back and rearing, wings flaring wide. When she dropped back down, she scuffed one hoof, fighting the urge to run.
