What a { l o v e l y } forest this is... || Open || - Lumina - 09-06-2012 A slender mare stepped lightly towards a gleaming stream. Her white socks were dusted with dirt and mud. She bent down, dipping her light brown muzzle into the flowing water. For a moment, the unicorn just let the cool water brush against her. She then began to practically inhale the water; soothing her parched throat after days of traveling. The mare had a sleek dark bay coat. Faint dapples covered her back. If the sunlight hadn't been shining down on her, some might think her to be a plain black mare. She had a traditional, tasseled unicorn tail. Her long, spiraled white horn appeared as she raised her head. Large drops of water fell from the tip, and the excess water ran down it, cooling her forehead as it dribbled down her face. She snorted and flicked her tail. The dark mare shook her head roughly, causing her usually smooth black mane to become ruffled and messy. Blue flowers had been woven into it, and stayed as her mane settled back into place. The mare's violet eyes were shining. What a lovely forest this is, she thought, looking around contentedly. Still, an air of curiosity hung over the mare. She held her head up higher, and decided to see if she were truly alone. "Hello?" she called out. She glanced around, waiting to see if anyone would care to answer her. I Act I Think I Speak You Speak RE: What a { l o v e l y } forest this is... || Open || - Breeze - 09-07-2012
RE: What a { l o v e l y } forest this is... || Open || - Lumina - 09-07-2012 The dark mare listened for a few moments. Time slowly ticked by. Perhaps I am alone after all, she thought, though highly doubted it. The forest was brimming with other life; birds sang softly in the trees, squirrels scurried along the ground for nuts, and butterflies drifted past peacefully. All the unicorn wanted was to see another unicorn, equine, or pegasus. She was about to give up when a voice broke through her thoughts. "Good day, miss. I am Breeze. Breeze of the…" The silence returned, excluding the lovely birdsong. The dark bay turned towards the voice, swinging her long horn as she did so. He was a young stallion. Her eyes landed on his, but his seemed to be aiming up slightly. At her horn? The mare tipped her head to one side. She opened her mouth to reply, but didn’t get a chance to say a single word, for the stallion was not finished. “On the other hand, it’s not important where I come from. What a matter is where you come from, miss, have you traveled far?" He flashed her a smile. The mare dipped her head to him. “Greetings, Breeze. My name is Lumina. To answer your question…” She paused. Where had she come from? All Lumina knew was that her legs were aching from what seemed like a lifetime of walking. She had seen many lands. Lumina pawed lightly at the ground. “Quite honestly, I’m not sure. I’ve been wandering from place to place for as long as I can remember, always without a destination. Day blurs into night, night blurs into day... Walk, walk, walk. Oh, but the sights I have seen!" For a moment, Lumina's eyes clouded with memories. They soon changed to pain. "I’ve greatly missed the interaction with others, though. I’m very thankful that you have answered my call. I was afraid that if I went another day without seeing someone, I would die! Do you happen to know where we are now?” I Act I Think I Speak You Speak RE: What a { l o v e l y } forest this is... || Open || - Breeze - 09-08-2012
RE: What a { l o v e l y } forest this is... || Open || - Lumina - 09-09-2012 Lumina tipped her head to one side. Helovia, she repeated in her mind. Magic. Gods. She tested each new concept silently, wishing she could automatically learn more without having to ask seemingly dumb questions. Lumina thought back to what Breeze had said- how magic was really just strange abilities. She looked at his wings curiously, and marveled at their beauty. "Your wings," she voiced, "they're incredible. You can fly using them, yes? Would that be considered 'magic'? It's certainly a strange ability to posses. I can't do anything with my horn. I'm afraid it's only there for show." She paused for a moment, almost forgetting the rest of what Breeze told her. When she finally remembered, her thoughts began shifting again. Would she even do well in a herd? Lumina had missed talking to other horses, but she would miss traveling if she ever stopped. Lumina's ear twitched indecisively. The herd sounded very nice, as was this stallion, but actually joining them? That was something Lumina had not ever considered doing. Very rarely had she ever thought about herds at all. But the way he worded it made it seem to good to refuse. Lumina blinked once. Maybe she should try it, and see how it was. Lumina nodded slightly, and composed herself. She looked back at Breeze. "Dragon's Throat... That sounds rather interesting. It is very kind of you to offer to take me there. If you're sure it isn't too much trouble, I would enjoy being shown to that herd."
