This flaming guardian could be your worst nightmare...
Sol sighed as he stretched his wings and let the early morning sunlight warm his frame. He could feel the radiation, something that he was still trying to get a feeling for. Magic was odd to say the least. His golden markings were glowing softly, barely more than usual as he was still starting to recharge from the chaos on the mountain. It was nearly a week later, and he was finally feeling like himself. The warmth of the sun soothed his muscles, relaxing him as he enjoyed it.
After bathing in the warm sun for a while, he tucked in his wings once again. The movements were controlled and careful, each wing being snapped against his sides and layered to make sure that there was no feathers tucked wrong. Stretching out his neck, he took a moment to gaze around him. The meadow was a place of pure peace for him, a place where he came to reset his mind and make himself feel normal.
Thanks to the bright, warm sunlight, his pelt showed the variance of colors that made up his nearly black coat. The sooty, dark roaning that was invisible unless under bright light. In normal situations, he looked simply black. It was often forgotten, even by himself, that he was not true black. His moonkissed limbs seemed to glow in the light, aided by the slight glow at his hooves and the flames that crackled softly against the soil.
While it was currently fall, it was gearing up to be a warmer day. A momentary thought to his best friend had him figuring that she would be hiding in the shadows or even deep in the water to escape the warmth. The idea that he was heat and light while his truest friend was ice and cold made him laugh. It was such an amusing idea. As he directed his thoughts from the friend that he cherished, he found them straying back to the conversation he had held with another. The challenge that he had given himself to figure out what he wanted to do as a merchant. The pull to create a network. Taking time to think, he kept his eyes alert and watchful for anyone that might come near.
