Turn A Blind Eye [Gideon]

Night time was one of the times of the day that Gideon enjoyed the most. Everything was quiet, less hectic; the sounds of animals settling in for the night and mothers singing lullabies was a comforting thing to listen to on his nightly patrols. Despite the overwhelming darkness and mist, Gideon knew his way about the forest just as well as he did during the day. How could he not, when he was a child of this very forest? Where most horses would be stumbling around blind, Gideon was able to walk with ease and know exactly where he was.

Or in this case, know exactly when an intruder crossed the borders. It seemed his nighttime patrol was about to be rather fruitful.

He could see her well before she would spot him. She reeked of the world outside of Orut, which was not too surprising, given how she had blundered around as if she was blind. It took quite some time to adjust to the mist, even Gideon had to admit. Giving a whinny, alerting the mare to his presence, his pale body cut through the blanket of mist easily. Blue eyes watched her warily upon stopping at a respectful distance. “Welcome to Orut. I am Gideon, King of the forest. What brings you here?” he spoke, his deep, thunderous voice remaining rather neutral despite his misgivings to intruders. She was a mare, so at the very least, he could be somewhat polite until he knew of her intentions.
