Fess rubbed her eyes with a yawn as she realized she'd fallen asleep mid-flight. It was miraculous that the dumb winged horse had kept flying and hadn't landed and dumped her off on the ground or something similar. Goodness though was it dark, she looked up to see the hazy form of the moon covered by a cloud, then looked to the ground... was that a village of some sort? She could barely see what looked like one, just enough light to make out the blocky shapes of buildings.
What was odd was the total lack of lights shining through any of the windows. She frowned, what if there was no where to go to get food? Her rumbly stomach was proof enough that she definitely needed to eat before going further... wherever she was. It was a ways back during her virgin journey away from the territory of her House that it was clear she was not cut out to navigate a map. At least asking locals for directions was a perfectly viable tactic.
It was poor manners to just land from the sky in the middle of a town street, so she directed Belphe to land in the grass a small distance outside of town. As the pegasus touched down, Fess sniffed at the air, and found it wanting. This was surely a place where filthy livestock was set loose on the fields, defecating and stinking up everywhere around them. Not that Belphe cared, as he immediately started nibbling at the grass next to his face.
Getting a better look at the town as the moon's light was no longer being filtered by a cloud, the whole place was completely lifeless. "Hmm, something here is definitely amiss."
