Venturing (Newcomer) - Orinthia - 11-09-2012 I looked around at the vast forest that was surrounding me. It was a new adventure for me, and a new place to go to. Snow was covering the whole place, and it was really hard for me to walk in it. I started trudging through it. I wasn't that used to the snow. I usually ventured forests when it was in the spring, or fall. My pelt was twitching a little from the harsh conditions I wasn't used to. In my view, it was strangely early to have snow falling, or even frost fall to even be here. I suspiciously looked around, and saw passing clouds darkening up the sky. I was afraid to go out to far in these woods, for I might get lost, or hurt, but my stubbornness replaced my fear, so I continued on my new journey. I kept on looking around, and the chilly wind hit my nose. It was so fresh, and pure and it made me feel so free. I looked around to see if there was anyone there. I felt the urge to keep on looking around so I trotted a little bit, searching the new place. Eventually in hunger, I began to search from some, if there was any grass under the snow. I started pawing at it, with my shaggy, black hooves indenting the snow, searching for some grass when I finally reached some. Ravenously I started to chomp on it. It was fresh from the cold radiated from the snow. I kept on munching until I heard something behind me. RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Tallow - 11-11-2012 A golden body moved over the ground. It had been a matter of days since she'd been here last. But she needed to introduce someone to the Edge. The mare looked around and the snow falling. A scent alerted Tallow to someone there. She'd gotten used to the cold, although she knew it was harder for others. A newcomer was here. In the distance she saw the silhouette of a horse. A friesian mare. Her eyes seemed to jump out at you. For Tallow, in this month, it was her entire golden body that jumped out. The mare kept turning her head. The cold blew against Tallow's body. She wished she could create fire. That would definitely help. Tallow veered into her surroundings, eventually getting to the point that she was behind the massive femme. The mare reached for food, and eventually found stuff. Tallow snorted and threw her golden head. Tallow went around again until the faced the newcomer. "Hello, newcomer. My calling is Tallow. What is yours, and do you need a home?" Tallow's voice was warm. The buckskin mare stood tall, trying to reach a height similar to that of the friesian. Her black mane blew with the cold wind and snowflakes settled on it delicately, like fairies. Her beautiful golden head raised, and blinked. Nothing from her past would ever go away. This mare, the mare with the black coat, if she was a bit smaller, with a blaze, she would be Tallow's old mate. But of course she wasn't. A dark silhouette in the woods showed himself. Beside him stood a golden mare, kissing him lightly, as the wind blew the horses-who-were-dead away. Her love. She stepped back slightly, blinking, the image finally fading. Features squeezing back into normal, amazing, emotionless Tallow, she smiled. "There's not as much snow where I come from. There, there is more fog than snow. It's pretty easy to smell the edge though." RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Orinthia - 11-11-2012 The mare was observing me, and her eyes looked distant as she stared at me, but at the same time it wasn't a hostile stare. She looked as if she were lost in the past. I was going to reply. "Hello. My name is Orinthia," I paused. She was definitely beautiful with this golden coat that stood out within all of the snow. Her mane was gently flowing in the soft wind, and little snowflakes were ornamenting her flowing mane. "I might temporarily need a home in this harsh weather", I continued. "My family was taken away from me, and ever since then, I have been adventuring. I won't settle down in one place until I find a place", I said sad. "How can you survive in this cold place?" I ventured on. She seemed so friendly, I just wanted to keep on asking her questions. It was a strange place, but I recalled this deep inside my memories. I had to have been here before. I don't know why, but deep inside myself, even though I can't consciously remember, I have been here before, and something that I can't remember, has happened here. I waited for the buckskin mare's, Tallow's reply. RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Evers - 11-14-2012
RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Orinthia - 11-15-2012 I froze a little bit as I heard the newcomer. He was a beautiful shade of roan gray, with his beautiful gray mane flowing in the air. I observed, little spikes on his neck, three on each side. He was an interesting horse, and I hoped I didn't scare him as I kept on scanning him, looking at his legs, realizing that he had been trudging in mud. I knew that his stockings would be white, if they weren't covered with that slightly darker mud. He seemed very polite as he let me finished what I was saying. In his eyes, he seemed happy to be here, and happy just overall. I was very curious to know what was making this stallion so happy. "I hope I'm not intruding. I'm Evers the Able", he said. I was astounded by how polite this horse sounded. In all my life I have met rambunctious, cocky, and rude stallions, but I have never met one, such as Evers, that was so polite, and patient. It sparked to me as different, and I was glad he wasn't a snob like the others. "Hello Evers," I said returning the politeness, not wanting to seem hostile or rude. "I believe you've heard, I am Orinthia", I said, trying not to mess up on my words and make myself sound ridiculous and stupid. He was smiling, and I know knew for sure he wasn't hostile. "Please, don't see me as rude, but I can see bliss shining in your eyes, and I would like to ask you, with curiosity, why is it that you are so happy?" I asked, instantly regretting my words. I was probably getting into his personal life. I mentally scolded myself waiting for a reply, hoping he wouldn't get offended. RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Tallow - 11-16-2012 Tallow looked the friesian up and down, her hooves firmly planted on the ground. The stallion was polite. She would've gone with him, to be honest, had he found her before Torasin. But that would've been before she knew of the Edge. Now she would never leave it. "Hello, I am Tallow. I come from the World's Edge. I believe you would've guessed by now, though." The smile was planted firmly. Her ears cocked in Orinthia's direction, listening to the lyrics. A nice, musical chuckle slipped out. Why, indeed? RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Tallow - 11-19-2012 bump RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Orinthia - 11-19-2012 ^.^ Is evers still in the Rp? RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Evers - 11-19-2012 Ah yes, sorry guys! I'll have a reply up in the next few hours <33 RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Tallow - 11-20-2012 Orinthia I think it's your turn then Evers? RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Orinthia - 11-20-2012 It's evers, cause he's third. ^.^ RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Evers - 11-20-2012
RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Orinthia - 11-21-2012 I heard his answer, and I felt relieved of knowing what was making him so happy. Did the company of others make him that happy? I knew there was something else, but I clamped my jaw shut so I couldn't utter another word. I would end up making myself look stupid. I saw Evers eyeing Tallow, in suspicion. I was wondering what he was thinking. I have never been so curious. I itched to know, but I knew they would think of me as a nosy filly. Nevermore, I stood there observing, trying to learn from these strange horses I have never seen before. As Evers spoke I kept on glancing around at the vast forest with snow all over it. I couldn't quite focus on one thing at the time. I saw as Evers stared at Tallow when she said I reminded her of her mate. I saw the grief in her eyes, and at that moment I felt like I want to come over to her and tell her every thing was going to be okay. Seeing her grieving in such a way almost made me want to tell them how much I lost to the wolves. They took my herd, and my life away, and just then, I felt like crying out to the world, of what I lost, and felt like just standing their with tears falling. "I am very sorry about your loss, Tallow", I said. I barely knew her but I wanted to comfort her. As we moved on from that point, I saw a silent communication, a rivalry between the two horses. I could tell they were from two different herds. "We need recruits", was a piece I heard from Evers. He cocked his head in my direction, and I stood there unable to think. What should I do? I thought to myself. "I am in need of a temperary home", I said glancing towards the both of them. I wasn't sure. Half of my heart was set towards finding a mate and a herd, and my other half was set on adventuring, and having a traveling lover. "I-I am still unable to decide, wether I want to settle down in a herd", I said quietly glancing outwards. I loved the life of adventure, but would I also love the life of living in a herd? I vaguely remember memories of my past herd, with my parents and my foal-hood crush. I brushed the memories away, and focused onto the present. (Finished! Sorry it took so long! :D ) RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Tallow - 11-24-2012 At Evers' reply, Tallow nodded her head. Happiness at company. That was nice. She glanced at him and cocked her head at his suspicion. Why was he suspicious. "What is wrong?" Her dark green eyes queried him. She threw her head slightly. "You don't think I could cause you harm, hopefully, as I am only new to the Edge, few months. Suddenly the dark horse she constantly saw stood there, his frame overpowering. He lifted his head and snorted. Tallow's body froze in terror, mixed with something else. When her lips moved, her eyes became normal again. She looked at Orinthia. She felt like running away, like she was running away, from her past. "You're lucky. You're lucky that your past doesn't stop you from making friends. You're lucky that it's not your fault that everyone you love is dead. You're lucky you don't see the dead everywhere." Tallow's voice was small, whisper-like. A voice inside her head told her they wouldn't believe her. She told herself, I have to move on, I can't lie in the past, even though it would be impossible, she knew. But she could try. Tallow looked at Orinthia, no doubt she was confused by the muddle of herds. "Sorry Orinthia. I think our words are confusing you." The words were calm, friendly. "If you want, I can take you back to The World's Edge with me. We have campfires made by Mirage." She looked at her earnestly. Thinking of her mate; and Mariah twisted the cords of her heart. It honestly hurt her physically. She knew she shouldn't bottle in pain or sadness, but she had to, didn't she? She didn't want to be thought of as weird. RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Evers - 11-25-2012
RE: Venturing (Newcomer) - Orinthia - 11-27-2012 I was a little bit afraid and pressured. I was aching for a home, but with someone I loved in it. Friends meant a lot, but I wanted someone like I lost, that day. At the same time, I wanted to go where ever I wanted to go, but to the forest. That is the place I love so dearly. Thinking about my past all over again, I heard Tallow silently whisper. "Tallow, I lost my family. I lost my to be mate, my mother, my father, everyone", I said. "The wolves murdered them, and I watched them die infront of me....I did nothing to stop it", I said. "That is the reason why I run from my past. The guilt.....", I paused there not trying to make this a complete sob story. "I am very sorry", I paused not wanting to make the atmosphere more tense. Tallow then mentioned the world's edge. I have heard that it is dense forest, places I like. Then I twitched my ears, hearing Evers talk about the foot hills and my freedom. It was overwhelming to choose. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I wanted to join a herd...but with exceptions? "If I decide, will both of you let me come and go as I will...I love the life as an adventurer...." I paused a little bit confused. "I have always yearned to visit the World's Edge, but then...", I paused staying quiet. (It's finished... Sorry If I didn't keep on going XD ) |
