It had been a dry season for Dragonhawk, no participation in shows, no special events to attend, in fact, most of the time invites had been turned down as the stables prepared to undergo a massive reconstruction. It had been in the works and the twins worked night and day to find a middle ground where both parties are satisfied. As this required their utmost attention, their horses’ training and care had been left in the capable hands of the stable staff who knows their schedule.

Most of the horses’ health, safety and comfort are priority and accounted for, except for one who is missing specifically the twins’ companionship.

Archon, the resident heavy traaker and gentle giant, is a very patient stallion. As his nicknames would imply, he is a kind and soft being that never made a fuss that would inconvenient others, but would however not stand for unruliness, earning him the title of “Guardian of the Peace”. He quite liked the peace and quiet, in fact he preferred it.

Recently, he could sense, that there was activity about the stables, so many new people that he doesn’t recognise coming and going. Some would be carrying materials; some would be bringing in the big heavy machinery. The rumbling from the big yellow trucks and sea of raucous noise is all too much for the stallion to handle.

So now he’s here with one of the twins (and he’s quite pleased about it). Morrigan assured Arcturus that she could manage overseeing the project on her own, the peace and quiet would work quite well for him and the stallion given he did most of the beginning hard work of relaying the vision to the team. The stables, she decided, probably needs some activities to keep the horses occupied since they were all herded to a safer stable block away from the site.

Arcturus breathed in the crisp evening air as he watched the fiery autumn sunset sky fade into a new kaleidoscope of colours as the sun sinks under the horizon, revealing a starry night sky that he felt he could lose himself in. The wide array of blues, and purples paint a stark contrast to the earlier splendid reds and oranges, it felt like a completely different world.

As night falls so did the temperature, he carefully steered Archon on out of the woods into a clearing. Arcturus watched the fog build up and he is silently grateful for the fluffy jacket keeping him warm. He shifted in the saddle to get comfortable before he noticed movement in front of him.

Having signed up for the Hirschjagd, he knew exactly what he was looking at. The fog not yet thick enough to hide fully, there was a pair of antlers and a man waving in his direction.

Without any hesitation, Arcturus and Archon gave chase. The antler-man reacting not a moment later and both pairs sprung through the foggy field. Both are equally matched for speed as they soon ran side by side. Next to them was a beautiful roan horse, Salvatore and his rider would be someone Arcturus had met before the event started. Zyron turned and gave them both a friendly wave to say greetings.

Arcturus may be pleased to see an old friend (or target now in this context), however, Archon may have taken offence to it as he saw it as a competition. This is a race, and he must win. He pinned his ears at the bay roan and gave him a dirty look.

Out of confusion, it is certain that Salvatore definitely did not agree with the humans on the “Gentle Giant” nickname.

I didn't know how to end this helppppp
Anywho, I finally have time for personal art and having promised to join the hunting festival for years now, I finally had time to do it  

TRIVIA:
- Archon is very uncomfortable on things larger than he is, being 19 hands he would think there's not a lot, but construction trucks would do the trick   the AUDACITY of them to roll into his turf
- He's not aggressive to new people but he is extra wary and spicy if need be x"D poor Salvatore never saw it coming
