The Guardian Herd (2016)
“They stood grazing before him like a mirage, like the false appearance of water in the desert. He heard Dewberry’s voice in his head: Trust your eyes, Star. She’d said this to him once when they were living in the Vein, after Star received his power, and it had proved sound advice.
“There they are,” he whispered to Frostfire.
The two stallions landed and crouched in the grass, sneaking forward, placing each hoof softly in front of the other. Star sensed danger, a static in the air. He halted. “...Something’s wrong.”
Frostfire pranced, his nostrils flaring. “I feel it too.”
Star flattened his ears and peered around him, but saw nothing amiss. His heart raced as if he were galloping. Next to him, Frostfire’s tail twitched like a ground squirrel’s. They waited, which made them each tenser, but nothing unusual happened. Star crept forward, and Frostfire followed. Ahead was a shallow valley rimmed on the eastern side by rolling swells and framed on the southern end by a forest of cottonwood trees.MoreLess
