A Random Event Has Occurred!
The forest knows the moment death walks between its shadows. It can feel each track of a dragging leg like a rotten stick dragging patterns in the soft leaves and sand. And maybe as Vincent walks through the trees, with his eyes looking for the relic, he might notice that the trees tremble as finely as dragonfly wings when he passes.
A breeze is picking up when he is no longer along. It feels almost arctic cold and the forest wonders if the mare will realize that it's welcoming her.
With the breeze comes something else. The leaves are starting to shake faster and the forest floor is starting to hum in a way that seems to promise that something is drawing closer. A rabbit hurries out from the underbrush and it barely pauses to turn wide doe eyes on the two conversing horses. Birds are hurrying inward towards the center of the island. But they way they are flying seems lazy and too arrow straight to be a flight from whatever it is that is still making the entire forest hum and ache.
Just when it seems the closest trees to the two horses are starting to bow under some pressure bearing down upon them, an elephant breaks through shadows. His tusks are made of emerald and his skin is as white as bone. Each wrinkle of his body speaks of wisdom instead of age, immortality instead of fast approaching death. He pauses beside the horses and his trunk sweeps into something like a bow (but also a little like a challenge).
And maybe, just maybe, it looks a little like he's smiling at the two horses with a secret shining in his eyes.
He does not tarry long by the horses. But in his wake is a trail of aching trees and birds flying swiftly overhead to catch up. The line cut through the forest even looks a little like a worn down road on an old long forgotten map.
