Venari had waited until dusk had set in to search the formidable desert. He was not a stallion to cope with humidity well, his ebony base coat was hardly ideal due to it's demand to absorb the sunlight. It's why he preferred the cooler regions and colder courts within Novus. He felt more comfortable there and much less likely to melt away into nothingness. The ground beneath his hooves fell away at every step, making the footing much harder than he had anticipated. Off to a good start already.
There wasn't much to search in this vast, empty space. No hidden secrets and no varying foliage. It was only sand that could cover up the appearance of a relic. Therefore, he felt as though he could relax a little in his searching habits and just allow his eyes to wander effortlessly over the grains of amber. If there was something to be found, he would surely see it protruding from the sand. Venari wanted to do well in this quest, but he was not about to start digging holes every few meters just in case he found something. While the sea of sand felt intimidating, it was not impossible to search it all within an hour or so, especially given the nature of the habitat. Snorting the warm air from his lungs, Ven picked up a steady trot, flicking his tail at intervals to flick away the sand from his limbs.
The setting sun projected a golden light upon his figure, turning his teal stripes lighter and shinier. He intended to spend a few hours at most here before heading towards the day court to rest his tired limbs.
