Cries of either joy nor fear were able to reach Torrential's ear as the alicorn simply soared in his element. 

If he had been on his own he would have closed his eyes and simply allowed his impulses to dictate his actions in order to enjoy the moment to the fullest. But he didn't. He wasn't alone and that required that he reign himself in for their sakes. A metaphor for the relationship between mortal and alicorn perhaps? Torrential simply chuckled softly to himself at the thought. 

Despite the cloudless sky, Torrential didn't see anything larger than a goose as it was flying in formation with the rest of its flock as they made their way south wards. Not surprising really. The 'light show' he had caused would have easily caused chaos and confusion in its wake and any competent commander would recall any patrols both flying and land based in order to A) Get a head count to see if everyone was alright while B) Getting a good idea of who could be spared from keeping the civilian panic to a minimum in order to check out what the hell had caused it.

Such things took organization and organization took time. Time that Torrential was more than willing to take advantage of to get clear of any possible scouts. He didn't hurt that he was flying over a generally untrodden part of the land in the first place. 

As the hours passed and the sun seemed to travel across the sky, the landscape below started to change color from dusty reds and browns to a steadily healthy green. There was even a couple of clouds that were hanging in the sky like gazing sheep, a sign that Torrential had reached the edge of Earthborn turf. With great care, he started towards the ground, slowing down so that when he touched the ground all he needed to do was trot a little before coming to a complete stop and kneeling down so that his passangers could get off at their leisure. "All ashore who's going ashore. You don't have to get off but you'll be expected to offer something for the service." There was a joyful hint to his voice that suggested that he really wanted someone to ask him what the price would be.
