Flynn's P.O.V

~First person~

Wondering through the forest was a beautiful thing. A serene forest with the autumn sun flowing through gaps in the trees, to create a naturous environment. As I was walking, I heard heavy pounding and a loud 'neigh' coming from my left.

'A horse?' I was confused, until I seen a horse coming flying my way. I jumped and my eyes widened as I let out a scream of surprise- stepping aside as I thought it was going to pass me. Instead, it stopped right in front of me and was panting heavily. This horse seemed really spooked because they didn't seem to calm down when I tried to help them. I took a moment to examine them. They looked scuffed as. Their coat was shiny from sweat, and their saddle pad was creased.

'Their owner won't be happy I bet.' I grinned slightly at the sight in front of me. Although they looked a mess, there must be a problem somewhere, which caused them to gallop away, and I thought I should go investigate.

Y'know, I was pretty early coming here- I just wanted to make a 'good second impression' I suppose. But, then it came to about 5:15 and she hadn't arrived yet, so, I decided to take a walk through the forest, in hopes of bumping into her on the way. I focused back on to the terrified horse in front of me, and decided speaking to it would help us get somewhere.

"Do you think you could take me to where the problem is?" I asked, thinking it wouldn't respond. I didn't think that speaking to the horse would work when I asked them to take me to where the problem was, but either way, I was taken to a clearing by the entrance of the forest. I was confused until I seen footsteps and horse hooves printed on to the ground.

'If this horse had came to me in a mess, then that has to mean that he was running away from something... or someone.' I pieced together. I looked back to the steed and told him to follow the horse tracks. As we were following the tracks, it came to me that the hoof prints looked the same size as the horse's hooves. . Was it perhaps his hoofprint?

"Are these your hoofprints...? What happened..?" I questioned the horse. I'd look absolutely stupid if anyone else was here to listen to me talking to an animal that doesn't even speak my language. The horse answered back with a snort as if to agree with me. I let out a small 'Oh' as I realized he was, indeed, running away from something. It took a moment for me to realize: 1. Why this horse was in a forest, with full tack on, and 2. Whose horse it was. I pieced together the fact that the saddle pad had an emblem on one of the corners. It was the Sun-drop flower, with the horse's name under it. 'Imperial' That could only mean that this horse belonged to someone who was with Royalty. Perhaps a guard?

'Speaking of Guards, didn't I tell a guard to meet me in these forests- Y/N." I figured out this could very well be Y/N's horse. As confirmation, I had to ask-

"Are you... Y/N's horse?" I asked hesitantly. Why was I so fucking hesitant to a horse? I once again got a snort, so I guess I was rightl. Imperial was starting to slow down, as the hoofprints were fading away, or just become unnoticeable. I sighed as I tugged on the reins to stop the horse, to which they complied. We just sat there in silence as I put together pieces in my mind.

'Why was Imperial without Y/N?'

'Where was Y/N?'

'Why did it seem like Imperial was running away from some-' Then, it clicked.

Were they attacked? Suddenly, I picked up the noise of a soft cry nearby, like an injured animal. I got suspicious, as I thought it could perhaps be a trap. Imperial seemed to have noticed because his ears perked up like an alert watch dog. He either knew the noise very well, or was just as suspicious as I was, because he started to move about in place- trying to find the source of noise. I got off the horse quickly, and put my hand out for the stressed horse to stay where he was, as well as patting him on the neck to calm down. He seemed to understand, as he stayed where he was, more calmer than before.
