Sephor stood in the midst of a gathering of decaying, horse-like creatures. The forest around her was dark and mist creeped over the leaf-ridden ground, alerting her that morning had arrived. The nightmarish beasts raised their skeletal heads from a buck they had brought down just moments ago. Knowing it would be a while before the creatures would want to move on she stepped lightly over to a bulging root and sat. It wasn't good for the health of her muscles but she had a tendancy to walk on her tip-toes. Odd, silvery eyes with a misty appearance gazed at the black thestrals as her mind mused to itself. 'I wonder... is a bunch of thestrals a flock, a herd, or a murder?' This was one of the many questions she pondered in her spare time. Leaning back against the tree's cold trunk she reveled in the feeling of being completely alone. Too often in preparation for her new life had her Master demanded she do some favor or another.
On a happier note, today was the day she'd begin a new student life at Hogwarts. With a deep breath of the chilling air of the Forbidden Forest Sephor returned to her feet and stretched every muscle in her body, including the monstrous pair of wings that protruded from her shoulder blades. "Good bye. I will see you again some other day." she whispered to the flock, confident that their wide ears would easily pick up her voice. As she turned a choir of hoarse voice sounded behind her and she understood it clearly as a returned, 'good-bye'. Smiling a bit to herself she started jogging, wings slightly spread just so she could get through the denser areas. The moment it opened up into a clearing she broke into a full out sprint and beat her wings strongly against the air. Circling in a tight loop so that she wouldn't ram into any other towering bits of foliage, she ascending up until the tree tops were small beneath her. Unfortunately there were no clouds blocking the rising sun. Squinting she flew as quickly as she could until she came within a hundred feet of the edge of the forest. With a spectacular dive she plummeted into the trees once more and landed with a soft 'thump'.
Sighing she knew it would be night before the students arrived and settled herself in the shadows to wait.
