Gull The earliest flurries of Frostfall swirl around you as you approach the place they call the Heavenly Fields. You mimic the eddies, drifting down to earth in a spiral like a snowflake, hooves touching down in a layer of snow that has likely been here for weeks. But the high altitude isn’t just good for preserving snow: breathing in the thin oxygen, you cough violently, just as you have been during the whole flight over. Eyes roll in pain and irritation as you practically hack up one of your lungs. It seems as if the trauma of Muriel’s death and the pressure of your manhunt are beginning to eat away at your health, but there is not much you can do. You have neither the time nor inclination to take it easy when a killer is on the loose. Still, you’ve paused here. Even if it is just to take a breather on your journey south, there is something that has always comforted you about the place during the few occasions when you’ve visited before. Your gaze darts to the landscape of crags and clouds, so lonely and yet so beautiful. Perhaps it is the isolation that appeals to you, for you always get the feeling that the alpine meadow is a secret, hidden from those who lack the wings to soar above. Assuming you are alone, you raise your head and pour out your anger and sadness in a deep whinny that bounces off of the mountaintops and comes back to you as you stand by yourself in the middle of the snowy field. The coughing storm that follows is only magnified tenfold by its own echoes. OOC: Questing, between parts I and II! For @[Parelia] trouble just grew wings |

Penna and Parelia soared side by side through the flurry enjoying the frozen crystals. They were both jubilant as the flew together. Usually the mare was ground bound, since Areli was still to small and young to fly. So it was a nice change of pace to get out and glide above the harsh land below. Suddenly a distress call sounded from below the pair. Ears pricked towards the Earth as eyes glanced at Penna. 'No.' His thoughts were simple this time but she understood more than what he said. 'Oh Penna, they could really be in trouble! What if they are being jumped like I was?!' Without waiting for a reply the mare tucked her wings and dove.
She pulled up inches from the ground and her legs quivered with the impact. Penna on the other claw dove close enough to her to smack her slender skull. 'Damn it Penna calm down!' She shook her dome quickly to clear it before calling out with a cautious whinny. All thoughts of their happy time together dissipated as the cream dove trotted forward eyes soon finding the stallion she had met once before. 'What was his name, Gull, I think.' Carefully she strode closer. "Hello, Gull. Do you remember me?" She paused a foot or so away as Penna wheeled high above them watching the duo. She could feel the anger pulsing through him, hot and... fiery. Parelia struggled to keep her own fire at bay. When either of them felt this strongly the magic boiling within wanted to escape. 'You have to calm down or I'm going to burst into flame! Chilly out!' He only screeched before soaring off. Pain pressed against her already fragile heart. They had never fought before, and now he had left her. Trying to ease her own mind she spoke in a strained voice, "Gull are you ok? You sound awful." If only she were a healer, or at least knew some basic things, maybe she could have eased the barking cough spewing from his lips. Why was it she was always so useless? Speaking Penna Words; 349

She can instantly tell that he remembers her. A warm soft smile sweeps over her face. His happy face and pricked ears calm the fire raging within her hurt heart. If she had known the pain this stallion was feeling she would relate, open her wings and comfort him. Maybe it was the mother in her, or just that she was loving and gentle. His nicker sends a quiver down her spine causing her to relax even more. It was always nice to realize she was wanted even if it was only in a, well no, apparently not a just in a friendly way.
Warm laughter bubbles from her lips as she moves even closer. He is charming, filled to the brim with endearments. Honey eyes sparkle brightly as she watches his handsome face. Even around his coughs he is a heart breaker. "It's not a problem, I'm Parelia. It was a very long time ago that we met." She smiles a giggle rolling with her words. "I think we both where last time we met." His next words and subtle head shake cause eyes to narrow slightly. Something doesn't seem right even if he says he might just have a cold. Forcing her face to smile again and hide the uncertainty behind it she watches him. As he asks how she is the girl looks down lowering her head slightly. "You really should be careful up there. I was jumped by one of those basin people not long after I arrived here. That's why I invested in these babies. " She turned her head motioning to the turquoise studded bands around the base of her wings. The dove paused for a moment thinking what all she wanted to tell him. "I've been better... I might look good, but I'm really not. My son left my herd for another..." Tears fought their best trying to escape, but the girl held fast fighting them off as best she could. After pulling the mask, she had long since shelved, the mare looked back up at him. Her long cream and teal forelock hiding half of her chiseled face. "We have healers in my heard if you need someone to look at you. I promise you will be a welcomed guest." She smiled softer this time as she gazed quietly up at him. She had forgotten how tall and manly he was. Speaking Penna Words; 398

Honey eyes watch him carefully wondering why he seemed confused by her words. "Hasn't anyone ever warned you about the Aurora Basin herd?" Soft eyes grew dark as she continued, "They are a band of racist unicorns. I've heard not all of them are evil, but I have a hard time trusting them now." A shudder ran through her lithe frame as she watched him. Her ears flick back for a moment, "I wish she had. I've never seen her again. I bay bitch with golden markings, if you ever happen to, uh, meet her; give her a good bite for me. Try and get my feather back too. If I ever find her, I have a few surprises her as well. Since then I've gained a companion, as well as magic." She laughed softly, but it was hollow. Eyes searched his face watching the emotions playing out there, even around his hacking. The poor man was plagued by a horrible cough, but it didn't sound wet, like a cold would have. Was there something else to this illness?
Before she explains why her heart is shattered the mare turns her gaze down, unable to meet his eyes. Parelia hadn't expected him to say anything besides what he did, but they way he said surprised her. He seems to really mean it. "I don't blame him, he isn't running from me. He is just growing up and needs to spread his wings. Maybe one day you'll see him around, he's name is Ilios." Slowly she lifts her painted head to watch him even as he bursts into another round of hacking, harsher this time. Gull shakes his dome slightly still barking away. Feeling concerned the dove steps forward again brow furrowed with her worry. His words cause her knees to feel like rubber as they sink in. Even around the raspy voice he is just as tantalizing as always. She wonders for a moment if he puts on this facade to hide some major flaw that she just can't find. The thought runs away as honey meets blue. There seems to be something pulsing through their look, lust or was it a desperate attempt to heal themselves? Either way she doesn't mind. Stepping closer she expands her wings looking to embrace him the way of their kind. She didn't want another babe, not now, but she would not turn him away not for a simple touch anyway.

She watches him closely wondering why he seemed to watching her with greed. Some might find it heard to believe she had a dark past which had drawn her to lean towards the mean side sometimes. Her voice was playful, dripped in sarcasm, "Don't judge a book by her sweet cover." She winked and stepped back for a moment as Penna flew up higher still blue flames licked their way up her body. She grinned at the grulla stud basking in the warmth before she spoke warmly. "You see, sweetness is only a cover I use." With a soft sigh the girl extinguished the flames and stepped closer to him once more.
Ears prick at his raspy laughter and words. His words of friendship draw a surprised smile to her muzzle. Dipping her pretty chiseled head the dove smiles warmly. "I appreciate your kindness Gull. I feel the same for my friends, that's why I offered you help." Honey eyes watch the taller stallion quietly for a moment thinking of the words he had offered her. Was this not the first person to, say aloud, that she was their friend? Flicking her long teal and cream forelock away from her face the mare studies him closely. He looks strong, yet worn out. What was plaguing him so harshly? He seems to sink into himself as she speaks of Ilios. Words spring to her lips, but she swallows them quickly. Did he have a child of his own running around Helovia? Even if he did there was no way she could ask him such a question. If he had wanted to speak of a babe from his loins he would have. There wasn't a point in bringing up sad memories if he didn't want to. His skin is warm, inviting and satisfying. Her large wings fold around him as much as possible, hoping he will not back away. She giggles playfully as his teeth brush over her withers and she tries to return the playful nips. A soft sigh escapes her tender muzzle as she rests her head upon his back enjoying his presence as much as he is hers. 'Penna, is this what happiness is supposed to feel like?' In reply the falcon swoops down towards them. Carefully she draws her wings back allowing the falcon more room for him. The bird flies quietly back to the pair flapping around Gull's face before trying to lightly land upon his rump. Speaking Penna Words; 410

Bright honey eyes sparkle playfully as the blue tinted fire leaps over her chiseled face. He jumps and yelps causing laughter to bubble wildly. She turns the heat off as she watches him laugh so hard he is gasping. "See sweetheart, I can take care of myself." She winked as laughter continued to bubble from her lips. There was something about this stallion that brought out her fun side. How long had it been since she had laughed this hard with anyone? Finally she stopped laughing and gasped for breath as she watched him doing the same thing. "Gull, where have you been all my life? You crack me up!" She giggled playfully as she pranced back to his side.
She relaxed against him as her teeth moved slowly over his die, grooming him. It was nice just to laugh and play around without anything being at stake. He was a good time, an escape from everything that seemed to be plaguing the dove. "Firebug huh?" She giggled happily enjoying her new nickname. The girl flicked her tail up at his face trying to slap him with it. "Don't worry you can be me fire extinguisher." She chuckled again and playfully nipped at his withers. Penna on the other hand is still suspicious of the male and lands with a heavier thump than required. 'Ya buddy, I'm watching you.' Unable to hold back her mirth the dove bursts out laughing again trying to rest her head upon Gull's large back. "He says he is watching you!" She gasps around her laughter. This was turning out to be one of the best days she had experienced in forever. As her joy simmers down to quiet giggles Gull leans his head to look back to Penna. He asks her to call him off, which only sends her laughing again. "Don't worry sweety he wont do anything if you don't. I can't really call him off though. He is his own person." She chuckles and looks at Penna he only tilts his head trying to look innocent. 'Fine, I'll play nice, if I must....' She chuckles and goes back to rubbing her muzzle over his silver and white hide.
