(Warning Picture in Undercut)

As she opened her eyes to a new day Willow had discovered something different about the weather. It felt cooler and noticed it wasn't as bright out.

She was confused about what was going on around her. Some of her senses started lowering and others began to heighten.

Her ears perked up to listen to what was around her picking up sounds of hooves moving, twigs snapping, wind blowing and the stream splashing at a vivid pace. This had brought her mind to a new level of experiences with her vision being so poor.

Cool air made her nose wiggle and it started to moisten a little. She didn't feel anything like a cold coming on but it did make her nose more aware of the smells around. The earth was rich with soil and she could pick up on the scent of rotting leaves.

Since her vision wasn't available she had to rely mostly on her sense of smell and hearing.

Sounds of crows cawing from the distance startled Willow that made her jump in the air a few inches back. A chirp from a bug made her jump again and turn her head in the direction from which it came.

It gave her more appreciation for her vision but still found she didn't use her other senses as much as she should. Relying on visual all the time wasn't to keen especially if you needed the others to be sharp enough.

With age though Willow will come to hone her senses to maintain a respectable balance to keep on her hoof tips and stay alert when one part of her becomes vulnerable.
