Sol wandered silently though the area, exploring the bridge and watching life. How he could move his bulk quietly was a thing that usually surprised others. He had flown in that morning to explore, landing roughly half way across the bridge of cooled lava. His golden hooves left prints of slightly molten rock, each glowing for a few moments before they faded back with the prints embedded within the rock.
Shaking his head, he snorted and decided to jog back toward the solid land. His hooves clipped on the rock, the prints less pronounced as he moved at a faster pace. However, as he arrived near the end of the bridge, the statue and the horses that were milling around seemed to startle him. He did not remember them from when he had arrived to explore that morning.
His hooves slid into the damp sand, sending up wisps of steam and the sounds of sizzling water. Sol stepped more slowly, taking in the scene with golden eyes and making sure that his twin sets of wings were tucked tightly against his ebony coat. He heard murmuring words and then the incredulous reply from one mare. Before he could reply in any form, a strange little mare spoke up and let her thoughts be known.
“This place doesn’t feel like one blessed by any god. It feels . . . . wrong.” Sol eyed the mare with one ear pricked and head slightly tilted. "So something not blessed is wrong... Perhaps it is blessed by a God that you have yet to find in the pantheon... or perhaps it was a gift by the gods for us to learn and discover without their interference. Or... Perhaps your gods are just ideas and there is no real god. So many responses can be made to that one simple phrase." He replied, his deep voice drawling with an almost velvet like smoothness.
It wasnt that the ebony and sunlight stallion didnt believe... well, not exactly. More along the lines of being skeptical and not believing in blessings after the chaos of his life to this point. He had never had any experience with any higher being, nor did he really want to if they would start screwing with his life even more.
His hooves continued to emit steam and hissing sounds from the sand and water disagreeing with the heat as he settled in to listen and wait to see what would happen next. Curiosity was peaked and he wanted to know from first hand experience rather than from being told later.
