I'm backkk with another quest! One more of Pippo's journey

QUEST

You flee away from the vicious pack of wild dogs, they weren’t far behind you but you managed to disappear down into the tree line. Slowing to a walk to catch your breath you hear rushing water and head towards it. Coming out to a running river you,

A] Follow the river up-stream
B] Cross the river to hide your scent

----

As the dogs fell behind, Filippo slowed down his pace. Panting, he looked back, relieved to see the mutts weren't anywhere to be seen, however, the stallion could still hear them. He then resumed his walk, through the shallow forest, untill he heard water running not far from his spot. The chestnut approached, and analysed his options.

At that time, crossing the river seemed the best option. The flow was not that strong, since summer rains had been gone for a while now, but still, despite knowing the basics of swimming, he didn't trust that much on water. But time was ticking and the pack was approaching, so he had to make a decision.

Filippo jumped in, and try to steady himself, hooking his hooves in the rocks at the river bottom, pushing himself foward with his tired limbs. Step by step, he managed himself to go towards the other side, untill he finally reached it. The stallion was grateful it wasn't much of a big river.

Once stading on the other side, Filippo shook his coat, getting rid of the excess of water, and glanced back. The dogs were tiny little dots on the horizon, and were still on his track. He smirked, knowing the mutts couldn't cross the river. Despite the flow not being strong, it was a deep river, and chances were the pack would drown.

Without any second thoughts, Pippo continued his journey, really craving for a really tasty pasture and a good spot to take a well deserved nap.
