It was days like these that made Warrior glad he had chosen this territory to make his home; the sweltering heat would have been a nightmare, and probably was for any other creatures in the land, but the mist from the waterfall created a pleasant cooling sensation. True, it evaporated more quickly than in cooler weather and thus only lingered near the falls, and the river itself was much less lively than usual, but it still offered a welcome respite. The grizzled stallion had stood near the edge of the water for quite a while, enjoying the spray of the falls. Still, a stallion has his duties, and it was perhaps time to do a loop through the territory and check up on things. One could never be too careful, and the sooner an intruder or predator or other danger was discovered, the better. Yawning widely, Warrior stirred into action, ambling away from the falls along the path leading to the rest of the territory. No doubt the mares were grazing or resting somewhere, but it was a good idea to check on them anyway, just to be sure everything was alright.
