Now armed with the knowledge of the current events in the land, Venari had opted to split off from the two equines he had only just met and try to go it alone. By now the rain was thrashing at his pelt, the large droplets causing an irritating sensation upon his skin. Regardless, Ven had to do something with himself and this relic quest seemed like his best option to get to know the lay of the land he might end up calling home. As he trotted towards the sound of water, his mind flashed back to his more troubling times. The thoughts were triggered by the forest he was currently travelling through; it had been a forest in which he had been hunted all those years ago. He shivered. Shook his head. That was enough of that; he hated to dwell at the best of times, let alone the worst.
Nostrils flared as he registered the scent of fresh water. He was here. The river stretched a fair distance as he scanned the land; this would be more work than he anticipated. What else was there to do, however? In addition, this search gave him a reason to explore the nature of this land and to potentially meet others with the same mission. Venari pushed himself into a halt just shy of the river bank. Craning his neck forwards, he gazed at the rapids and winced a little at the ferocity. No way was he wading in on this stretch.
Flicking his tail against his rump, he turned a sharp ninety degrees and picked up a collected canter. His path followed the bends of the river from a safe distance. The ebony audits upon his crown would judge whether or not it was safe to check for a relic based on the volume of the rushing water. The quieter, the better. Five minutes later and he dragged himself to a halt once more. Rain still pelted his coat as he craned his neck down to judge the velocity of the water. Much calmer. Satisfied of his safety, Venari made careful progress down the river bank, ensuring not to slip on the already quenched earth. He took a quick drink to take advantage of the resources before pacing carefully forwards in a walk with his eyes scanning all about him. His hopes were not high for this specific search but the teal stallion intended on searching most (if not all) lands within this new world for any relics he could find.
Despite his mentality, Venari was a creature of curiosity and thus he intended to complete the quest to the best of his ability.
