"Okay." Grand Dynasty smiled, and nickered softly. "Now follow me." The stallion whinnied to Tuari, and the eagle took off into the air. With some effort he caught a thermal and soared above the two soquilis below, before veering off towards the dense forest before them.
Dynastys tail flicked back and forth as he walked past the border of the forest. It was no different than the forest they had just passed back across the creek, but after a minute or two of walking, the underbrush seemed to grow denser. The air around them grew fresher and colder, and extremely quiet. The plantlife seemed to thicken significantly as the mustang went deeper in, and a forbidding atmosphere seemed to hang in the air around him. Despite this, Dynasty pushed steadily on where other soquilis would probably turn tail and gallop off by now.
A sudden screech made Dynasty jump, but he carried that off as if nothing had happened, especially with Applejack behind him. Instinctively, sharp brown eyes scan the area for a clear patch of ground - ah, there it was. Slipping onto the (short) pathway, Dynasty shook himself off any hitchhiking leaves and twings on him, grinned at Applejack, and motioned for her to follow him.
The air just seemed to be warmer than before. Dynasty took a few more steps and found himself suddenly bathed in warm sunshine. Taking a step aside, he whispered to Applejack, "We're here."
Where it was a dense and hard-to-penetrate forest behind the soquilis, what was before them was something completely different. For one, it looked as if a giant hand from the heaven had reached down plucked out a patch of the forest. Secondly the clearing before them, though not large enough to rival a meadow, was quite big in itself, and just as green as any meadow in the land of soquili - a miniature meadow, perhaps? There was also single oak tree, large and ancient looking as her age, stood at the heart of the clearing, welcoming any visitors to the retreat.
The silence too was broken by a gently gushing sound of a small waterfall to the left of the forest border. A small, shallow little stream ran from the waterfall towards the oak tree, forming a 'C' shaped pond around it.
Just then, a light breeze blew across the clearing, carrying a lovely sweet scent of a sweet, juicy red fruit. Apples, anyone?
(( eh, I'm terrible at describing places. There're a lot more I've pictured in my mind about this place, but... xD;
feel free to add whatever you want as Apllejack explores the place >w>; ))

Woken up by the commotion below, the figure yawned and stretched himself. Bright brown eyes blinked off any feeling of sleepiness that remained, and a hand shot up to scratch at an itching spot on the scalp. Looking below him, the being smiled, reaching out a hand to pet Tuari, who had hopped over to him.
It was then that the figure spotted another creature nearby - a creature so like his buckskin friend below, but in a color and pattern so strange, he had never seen them before. Thinking it a threat, he let out a soft growl, leapt off his branch and proceeded to make his way down towards the ground below, hopping from branch to lower branch akin to a leaping lemur, waking up another creature in the process.
Once on the ground the creature was easier to make out - a young native american boy of perhaps ten or younger, dressed minimally in animal skin.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" He demanded, eyes narrowed, and surprisingly in the language of soquili. The boy kept a steady gaze on Applejack, and his voice had a strange edge and coldness to it - nothing like that of a mere humanling.
Before Dynasty could do anything, a not-too-young mountain lion leapt down from an overhanging branch and stationed itself between the human and Applejack. There were no threatening vocalizations from the feline though it glared intensely at the orange mare, tail waving stiffly back and forth.
A butterfly fluttered by just then, and away went the little cub after it.

Hide? People?
"If so, this way." Grand Dynasty blew and whinnied, turning around and going back the way he came, though instead of bringing the mare to the clearing, the stallion led her into another route, one in the direction of Maralah's teepee and the lake, dodging obstacles this time around.
When they arrived, the mustang guided the mare to a safe spot behind the trees.
"You ought to be safe here. Why the hiding, if I may ask? Is someone after you?" Dynasty panted, a little tired out from the earlier chase, then this.
