Paying for the rather expensive payment for the house Fehralyn currently lived in had been worth it. She had not liked the idea of paying monthly to someone else to live in a house that wasn't hers, Fehr had been separated from reality and owned nothing for too long. So actually owning her house felt good, it was something concrete, something to all hers that she could set down roots on. And it was right by a forest, and Fehr could wake up to the chatter of the birds and flow of life energy outside her window every morning. It was nice, and the woods were a wonderful place for running.
Fehr galloped through the woods, the wind in her mane, tail and feathers, and the earth was steady and sure under her hooves. Fehr could see all around herself, she could see the life energy flow in all the living creatures hiding in the bushes and trees, nothing was hidden from her.
The pregnancy was lot less apparent in this form, as her middle section was in itself already round and had a lot of space for the child she was growing. That also made runnjng easier, although Gehr made sure not to gallop too roughly and she took many breaks. Even now she stopped to take one, and Fehr leaned down to eat some hay that had not yet died due to the ever colder weather.
Fehr's ears flinched, when she saw something at the corner of her eye, or someone. Fehr lifted her head, but didn't look towards the person. They were hidden, probably via magic, but they couldn't hide the apparent veil of energy that surrounded them, proof that they were alive.
But soon they moved out of the shadow and became visible, and that was when Fehr turned to look at them. They looked humanoid, but had blue skin and otherwise unusual features. Not that those were unusual on the island, and even Fehr was a horse.
Fehr used her powers to tap into this person's life energy, taking a small peek into his powers. So he was a shadow demon? And by chance Fehr caught a snippet on his thoughts on her, on her beauty and assumption that she was not sapient. Fehr huffed and sent a thought in the person's head.
"I assure you I am very much sapient. These are the proof."
Fehr lifted one of her front legs, it had a shifter bracelet on it.
"Let me advise you, all animals with these are shifters and not be hunted or otherwise harmed."
