a new life in store [SILK]

there's a mad man looking at you
and he wants to take your soul
there's a mad man with a mad plan
and he's dancing at your door

The sun had only just made it's way over the horizon an hour ago and the heat was rising. Magdalena had been in these lands only a few nights. She had wandered in from the north in search of something new. New life, new relationships, a new home. Just as new as this day was.

Her hooves moved a bit unsure through the dry forest. The summer was already a bit unkind and thankfully the heat of the day hadn't started to take over yet. Though the thick canopy of the pines would most likely shade her champagne bodice from it's rays. She had made her way down through some sloping hills and mountains the past few days and was quite content with reaching a less sloping landscape with a thicket of trees to shade her. Mag stopped moving through the trees, turning her head up to the sky, though it was mostly blocked by the trees. She smiled to herself. Pleased with where her hooves had taken her thus far. She had set out away from home to find her own way. And was already feeling that she was getting there.

"Now to find some others around here..." she mumbled to herself in the dry forest. Mag had planned to leave home and find other equine to acquaint herself with. She was only four and a mare on her own could be a dangerous thing indeed. Let alone a rather inexperienced mare such as Magdalena. Her life had always been spent in a close knit heard with others looking after her. Her eldest brother had taken off over the mountain to start a life of his own a year ago. And now that Mags was finally four she had also set out. To see if she could find her brother and start her own life over the mountains.

Well. Perhaps not here exactly. This area was a bit to dry for Mag's liking. She stood and watched as a squirrel scurried down the tree to try and gather some food for it's breakfast. Her amber orbs gazing at it for a moment as she spoke aloud to herself in a hushed tone. "Well. This will do fine for now. Until I figure out which way exactly I'm 'supposed' to be going." She said with sarcasm. She moved her focus front he creature and in front of her. Perhaps if she kept moving forward something would stir in her to tell her where she needed to be. Or maybe she would bump into her brother if he was still alive. Or a new equine. Or maybe a pack of ravenous wolves. Who knew! The possibilities are endless when it comes to starting a new life. And Magdalena plodded along forward through the forest, with little more than a care in the world.

i say we rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
on to the next
to dance with the poor
