Description As the setting sun left a sky of yellow drowning to death in a sea of purple, Finrith stuck his head out into the freshly fallen night air. His nostrils flared as he took in the sweet scents and his ears flickered back and forth curiously. He stepped out delicately onto the fine blades of grass and stared into the sky. A suddenly light caught his gaze and he leapt like an antelope, shooting backwards into the confinement of the shed. But when he looked again, he saw the fluttering and flying brilliance of a bioluminescent creature floating gently above the ground. He shook out his mane and galloped off in the direction of the light, chasing it across the dying colors of the sky. Arkenstone was standing by Ramara, trying to sleep. But her ears flickered backwards at the sound of hooves like a heartbeat against the ground. She raised her head and watched the two magical creatures playing. Everywhere he went, the strangled and lifeless Scutterland ground suddenly took a sharp intake of breath and flowers leapt from the earth. Wherever his tail dragged it left fresh grass, and wherever he breathed the trees would lift as though coming alive. Arkenstone dropped her muzzle to the ground to sniff a pink flower Finrith and left behind in his tracks. She touched her nose to it and snorted, standing up to her full height. She jumped into the cool night air and kicked playfully and then chased after Finrith and his most distracting butterfly. The little glowing thing, a picture of delicacy and beauty, led them all the way to the edge of the Amberwood, where it finally departed them, drifting into the sky and disappearing.

Finrith has got this thing with Scutterland's glowing Butterflies...and Arkenstone snuck into the picture because she likes butterflies too! XD

P.S. Junither Spirit Horses have earthly powers related to foliage, so that explains some parts in the story

That background really makes the characters pop The expressions look really good and the flowing manes really adds life The stars are nicely spaces and I like how you added some different hues in the sky I also like how the butterfly's wings look like leaves
One day, glowing butterfly, I will catch you

And the picture is absolutely gorgeous!
I really love that background, the colors fit together so perfectly!
I also love the glowing butterfly. Knowing me, I'd probably be off after them too!
