Dark Light: IV

After waking up from her rest, Dark Light felt much more mindful and alert of her and her surroundings, she noticed that the sun was much lower than she expected, she really had slept very much, much more than she wanted, so she continued with her journey.

As she keeps walking towards a fixed direction, she notices that the dry dirt below her was starting to feel a bit grassier and soft, there are no trees nearby and the terrain ahead her is now in the form of wavy undulations, and it also has a lot of grass and flowers. In the distance are some mountains with high, steep peaks, so high up that the clouds cover them, they are miles away from her, but she still wonders, do I have to go through there?, she looks at the mountains with concern, but as she hears her stomach growls, she stops to eat something.

She puts her backpack in the ground and starts searching, until finding a pair of shiny red apples, she unpacks them, puts her backpack on again and continues, munching at the apples as she walks.

In her way, she passes a hole in the ground, at first it looks like any type of hole, but it was a rabbit’s burrow, with a brown rabbit in it, as Dark Light passes the hole, the smell of fresh apples attracts the attention of the bunny and it hops out fast, having nothing to eat, the bunny’s only option now is to ask some food from a gentle souled pony, and that pony is Dark Light.

As the bunny hops towards her, the noise makes Dark Light turn her head to see what is happening, and when she sees the bunny she stops to see what it wants.

“Hello little fella, are you lost?” Dark Light says, getting closer to the bunny, in response, the bunny hides away from her, “What? I will not hurt you.” She says, the bunny comes closer slowly and stares at her, then at the apple.

“Oh, you must be hungry, here.” Dark Light takes a carrot from inside her backpack and gives it to the bunny and turns around, as she walks away from the bunny, she hears the bunny’s hopping again, and before she turns around to see what is happening, the bunny hops onto Dark Light’s back.

Dark Light sees the bunny that is now onto her back, and besides its normal face, she can also see a thankful face, a gesture that she didn’t use to see often, and regardless it is an animal, it is the first living thing that she feels she has helped by herself, this realization fills her with happiness and joy, she had not felt like this for a long time, the last time she remembers feeling in such way this was when she was much younger, when she was a filly, full of hopes and dreams, and now, she is once again full of hopes and dreams. With such feelings, she continues on her travel to discover the world, even when she felt like she needed nothing else.
