Silverwind pointed toward the ground with one hoof; a clearing ran through the forest below. Trees were fallen to either side, and the ground looked broken and uneven, the earth recently disturbed. The darker coloured Pegasi circled overhead, slowing to catch up close enough to Vince so that he could be heard.
"Looks like our survey area," he called out over the rush of wind. "We'll go down and have a looksee; there might be some new passage through the forest, or some other useful or unusual things exposed... best be careful though. The disturbance might have woken up... things... Stick close to me and we should be fine though," he said with a nod, before he dropped down, flaring to land gracefully, rear hooves first.
He pushed his goggles up with one hoof and glanced around cautiously, trotting forward a few steps, and picking his way carefully over the uneven ground. The area smelt off; strong smells of tree sap, turned earth and forest loam mingled with the smells of decay and animal scents. A shiver ran down his spine and he shifted his wings against his sides and flicked his tail. He was sure there were eyes on him from within the treeline, watching and waiting.
"Let's be careful," he said quietly, his bright green eyes, glimmering with energy and excitement earlier now focused and keen. One hoof pawed the loose earth as he moved on.
