Winter paused and tilted his head, the horse seemed about as excited as he was about being ridden, than he was about riding it. That was something that the silly human would do. Fortunately their trust for Cara was greater than their of him. They knew exactly what he was, they apparently had a good memory and sense of smell. He knew they were tasty, but he never actually quite thought he would be riding on top of one. It was strange, they actually seemed to be happy to be around Cara! happy to be ridden! That didn't make any sense to him at all... it actually made it extremely awkward being around the creatures. True dragons were too proud to be ridden! but then there were dragons that were loyal and gave back he same fondness these horses had for Cara... perhaps it was her magical aura... he felt the same tug to be close to her as well, but he wouldn't let her ride him!  No he might carry her in his talons, but he would never let her ride him... he was far too proud for that. The others didn't know any better because they had been raised around humans since they were hatchlings... But Winter was a wild dragon, he would never submit to just anyone, unless they proved to they themselves worthy of such an honor. True Winter had grown fond of Cara, but that was all, he did not fear or respect her enough to let her take charge.<br/><br/>Winter riding awkwardly only short ways away, they came to a frozen over a river, the signaled for Cara to follow him as he followed the frozen river bank until eventually they rode into a deep valley with jagged cliffs on either side. They rode on further until it seemed they came to an abrupt dead end. A tall cliff with a frozen water fall in the center blocked their path.<br/><br/>The young male grinned, and hopped off the horse, and walked out onto the thick sheet of white ice of the frozen river. He glanced over to Cara and gestured he to follow him, and then he stepped around a tall column of frozen ice where the water fall had eventually became frozen solid. Behind the frozen column was the entrance to a cave, large enough for the horses to follow them into.... that was if Cara could convince them to follow them into the dark.<br/><br/>Once a few meters inside the cave, it widened up into a massive cavern! Unlike outside the cavern was actually quite warm and cozy! This was most likely do to the heat given of from natural hot springs that came steaming up from the rocks in the center of cavern. Although it had seemed dark and for boding on the entrance. Inside it was lit up and glowed with strange magical crystals... Winter would have loved to make this his nest, but he never really liked the location as it was too far down the mountains to feel completely safe... but he did like to come here occasionally... dragging back a few the large glowing crystals to his nest, with every visit.<br/><br/>Winter dropped the quilt and splashed into to the warm natural springs! it was hot! but not unpleasantly so and would not burn or scold Cara if she chose to come in after him...
