this old world has brought me pain but there's hope for me again The sunset mare wanders through the trees, her spirits bolstered by the friendships she had made in recent days. For so long upon entering Helovia, she had been taken by fear and despair, the last lingering flickers of hope dying in her breast as the great battle at the Halcyon Flats was fought. Now she has grown curious again, driven by the desire to help others; she has been told that anyone in this strange land could become a doctor, and so that is what she has set out to be. Still, she is lonely - the others she has met have homes and responsibilities of their own. They cannot afford to babysit her, and in truth, their doing so would only have made her feel guilty. There is something satisfying about making her way inland on her own, about finding the strength to press forward through the hints of fear threatening to immobilize her - it makes her feel good inside, as though she is no longer a useless lump of flesh with nowhere to go and no one to turn to. Today, though, she has returned to the Halcyon Flats, drawn by the beauty and serenity that she remembers there. A loud clap catches the mare's attention: her immediate reaction is fear, and she shies away from the sound, shuffling her feet nervously in the sand, prepared to bolt. A moment passes, and then another. She does not run, but her tail wrings nervously behind her, and her ears flick back and forth, undecided. It takes a moment, but she finds the source of the noise and approaches with caution. Forms swirl in a large circle, dancing in what appeared to be some sort of intricate ritual. What...? It is hypnotizing, really, and the way the shapes move draws the sunset mare in, enticing her a few steps closer, her head nodding in rhythm to the circle's spinning. She is nervous, yes, but the circle makes her lose some of her inhibition, makes her want to fall out of her fear and into a world of light and fun and dancing. So enamored is she that she fails to notice the others already gathered, and she begins to trot eagerly around the circle, following the trails of the wisps that lead the dance. She notices an egg. She wonders if it wants to dance, too. "Persephone speaks."

The ivy painted stallion sighed softly as he flew over the great lands of Helovia. His silver eyes never looked upon the ground without seeing it. Something was missing in his life, he could feel a hole trying to suck the happiness from his heart. What could be missing? He had a large and noble herd to serve and protect. Several beautiful ladies that returned his flirting and gentle touches. Wasn't that everything one needed? He sighed heavily this time as he turned towards the Halcyon Falls ready to see something that would keep his mind off of the missing piece. Bright eyes almost missed the small crowd below, if it hadn't been for the swirling light. Gold ears swiveled forward so hard it hurt, but Ilios didn't care. He could just make out the egg in the middle of the circle. A bright grin spread over his face as he slowly circled lower. He held his height just two feet above the dancing light creatures. Laughing brightly he spun above them bobbing his head along with the rhythm of the song in his heart. It felt good to laugh along with the celestial beings as they danced around and around. His heart felt lighter than his had in days as she shot up and spun into a barrel roll enjoying the sunlight upon his golden and teal coat. Excitement pounded through him as he rose up and up before turning towards the ground. He hoovered for a moment before pulling his wings in and pointing his muzzle to the ground. Wind whistled in his ears causing them to snap back against his head. White tipped black tail whipped out behind him as he streaked towards the beautiful flats and the dancing creatures. He waited counting the seconds before snapping his large wings out and pulling his head up. Wing joints protested the sudden wind, but he ignored the irritating pain. Carefully he coasted over the crowd before turning to swirl and circle of the sun creatures. "Talk."

your fears have just become all too real His body moved like a zombie in a winter storm. His cold eyes looked ahead of him ignoring what was going on around him. He was use to being alone and the black stallion had grown to like it, but he longed for a true friend. Nox wanted someone he can share his moments with. He knew that that would never happen, no one wanted to stay around him for very long. The black stallion could be a dreadful creature, bringing gloom and death to all those around him. Tangled strands flew behind him like a ghostly flag as he moved through the lands. The small pools of water flickered with his reflection as he walked past each one. A haunting demon looked back into his cold eyes. Then a blink scared the demon away, and he was left looking at himself in the reflections. Then he heard a sound something odd, and his cracked hooves carried his body towards the sound. When he had reached the source there was already a few others there. He could see something spinning and dancing in a circle. Cracked hooves carried his body closer and closer to the things dancing. The warm sun rays absorbed into his black pelt as he demonic crown turned to the side questioning these things. He could not figure out what they were, but he could see the egg. He got close enough to almost touch the creatures, and his gray eyes looked through the bare spots at the shining egg. Was it one thing or was it a bunch of creatures. His mouth opened and deep words flew from his maw."What a beautiful Egg you got there. ." His large body starts to move trying to get a better look at it. He did not notice but his eerie form almost started to dance with the creatures. Black hooves side stepped and they moved with a flawless motion around and around trying to see the egg better. What was in it and why was it trying to move with the odd sun thing. "Talk."

Glimmer in the moonlight
They reminded him of the wisp spirits of home. Ethereal remnants of souls long past, playful, ever young and free. They frolicked through the twilight hued willows and vine entwined oaks, whispering songs and dancing with such fluidity that water sprites would blush with envy. The sprites he was watching with moon touched eyes were not dancing around sleeping ancients, but above the mirror of the world. Sands and crystal waters, Alune had come to the flats to explore — and he had been rewarded beyond measure to see such spirited souls. It brings a wave of warmth and enchanted delight to the starry behemoth's heart. It takes him back to younger, better times when he was nought but a foal exploring the temple grounds — hoping, wanting to find these creatures who often kept him company. Only then, as he gazes with fond and entertained orbs of silver he see's the egg in the center, or rather, he notices it is an egg. Not a pearl or smooth trinket these misty creatures had found, and he's intrigued as it tries to dance as well. Such an eager, excited little thing, he thinks. Others had shown up too, no doubt lured by the sprites and their precious cargo. Was this how these things always went? He had played with aquatic creatures who had held something of note, and Helovians from the four corners had showed up to partake — some good of heart, and others not so much. He nods his greeting to each of them, watching the unusual mare beginning to try and keep up and returned to watch the dancing creatures once more. He keeps a respectful distance, not wanting to intrude on such a spectacle without an invitation from the whimsical creatures. Though, their laughter and song does not escape him so easily, it invites him to leisurely bob his head along, silver strands of his mane caught in the movement and follow, like the stream current. His tail also swings along, gentle and graceful as it keeps in time to the tune. Wishlist: here! Seeking: Cerndyr :: Royal :: Earth Spirit Refusals: no prior refusals.

it was said that the blood of the stars flowed in her veins The clear day beckoned me to the skies, the winds above eager to cradle my feathers. I responded to it's call willingly, taking off to join my winged brethren in the sky, to sail through clouds and let the chill of FrostFall cling to my coat closer than it did on the ground. I had little on my mind, and was even less concerned about where it was I was going. Nothing mattered to me then, just the harsh kiss of the breeze and the way my smoke looked when flung through thinner air. I considered patrolling, for I still had duties to the Edge, especially after being promoted, but the day was too pretty to be wasted on work. I rarely took a day to myself to simply fly, to let the strain of my life ease, and allow myself to forget the tumultuous happenings of my life. I reveled in the opportunity to do so on a pretty day. But it caught my attention. It disrupted my tediously eased mind and summoned all the maelstrom thoughts I had so carefully laid to rest. It was a flash of lightning, starkly white against the blue of the sky, reflected even more so by the normally silent waters below. My ears pricked forward, strained against their hold on my head. I snorted bitterly, a nebulous cloud of smoke following it, dissipating furiously. Lightning on a clear day was an unheard of phenomenon for me. I couldn't imagine it being a good omen. So I landed roughly in the waters, splashing cool, salty droplets over my legs. I followed the lightning, and found that others had, too. I recognized one already gathered, smiling to myself at his ivy covered legs and teal feathers. I stood behind him though, choosing to stay quiet, stay to myself as I observed the scene. For a moment, the gathering made so little sense to me. The ghostly apparition (apparitions?) before me danced, so blindingly bright, so terrifyingly merry. Did they know emotion, or did they dance simply to dance? The apparition itself soon lost interest to me, though, for my pale amber gaze spotted the egg spinning with their dance. The scene clicked, my memories of these sort of occurrences coming forth vividly in my mind. My breath shook softly, my smoke thin and spiraling as my heart lurched, longing for the companion tucked so helplessly within the egg.

no dreams within her heart, but dreams of love
With her head in the clouds, the blue mare had wandered from her mountain home. She exists in a haze of euphoria more potent than her usual delight, velvet lips perpetually turned upwards, a spring in the waltz of her step, and a gleam of jubilation that brightens her kindly eyes until they seem to dance all their own. Her gaze turns upwards often, to smile at the clear blue sky, crisp with the chill of Frostfall. “I did it, Mama!” She sings not for the first time, laughing joyously to herself and spinning on dainty heels. Already she can feel it within her—the change, the blessing from their patron god, the gift of healing. The Spark’s powerful magic seems to hum through her bones, trilling delightfully through every muscle and sinew of her body to lift her up, until Tiamat feels as though she could fly! Oh, how wonderful it is! How beautiful a blessing! Tossing her head into the air, seashells chiming through the mass of her hair, the ocean mare laughs—her voice floating across the still, glassy waters like sparkling wafts of air, inviting all to join her in this brilliant moment of rapture. It is when she hears laughter that is not her own that she pauses, white eyes searching the horizon to find the brilliant individuals. Dazzling creatures of light, dancing and circling an equally stunning orb, they are calling and beckoning to her, welcoming her to join the small throng that has already heeded their gentle invitation. Singing along with airy, wordless breaths, Tiamat bounds forward, ever drawn to such light—such goodness—as a moth is drawn to a flame. “How beautiful!” The blue mare breathes to herself as she draws near, slowing enough to not disturb the unmistakable reverence that surrounds the blazing, dancing circle. Noticing a particularly familiar face, she tears her gaze away just long enough to maneuver to his side, pressing lightly to the stallion’s shoulder as she leans in to him. “Doesn’t it just take your breath away?” Tiamat whispers in wonder, casting a brief smile while she watches, her heart thrumming and her body swaying to the beat of their dance. notes; Interacts directly with @Mortuus Nox <3 Wishlist Seeking a Leviathan with Boil ability; one refusal AB Herd Member—extra name into draw from March Herd Champions. “Speech.” please tag Tia in all replies! magic & force are permitted.

He watched the others coming, having landed after his flying dance. Then the smoke breathing mysterious girl appeared beside him. He smiled brightly at her attempting to bump his nose playfully against her light colored shoulder. She was beautiful, but the thing he wanted above all others sat inside of a ring of creature, or was it creature. He was so confused, be the shinning thing(s). They, or it, were moving so fast he couldn't pick out how many bodies were within the circle. Instead he tried to focus on the beautiful egg that was centered inside of the circle. He watched in awe as a strings of light flew from the thing or things swirling around it. Silver eyes squint at the seer light they create. The egg starts to rock and spin slowly, and his heart goes out to the poor creature inside he imagines a tiny wolf trying to hold down whatever an egg baby has in it's stomach. Without thought his ivy marked legs move him forward until he is right at the edge of the shimmering dancing circle. Before he can speak on the egg's behave a giant pillar of sun stone appears below it. He can clearly see the thing is cradling the egg, and something seems off. He is sure these, or thing, would not allow the egg to be stolen from it's(their) clutches so easily, but he longs to try, longs to reach out and natch the egg. He wants to keep the poor unborn child save, away from the spinning and shell shattering crash. He steps towards the pillar carefully eyes moving to the blurred shape as it sings higher and faster. He is sure something will become of him, even if he does not reach the egg in time. In time for the thing or things to give it away. "Talk."

this old world has brought me pain but there's hope for me again Others come, and the sunset mare shies away from their approach. How does she know that they are not dangerous, that they will not hurt her? She thinks of the monster that attacked here not so very long ago, remembers how all she was able to do was lay in the water and sob. The other equines that appeared on that day hadn't had the slightest bit of interest in her - no, they had all been noble and brave, and they had put her and her cowardice to shame. She hesitates in her dance around the circle, thinking that perhaps it would be best if she departed; but something bids her to stay, invites her to continue prancing along with the ring of light(s). The light-creatures bloom and blossom, spinning and twirling all the while, morphing against her retinas until she can no longer tell if they are anything but a trick of the sun. Again she finds herself wondering what they are and where they came from, if they are the protectors of the egg held at their center. Or perhaps it is only one long, winding, twisting creature, and it is holding the egg as its own child. Persephone is unsure, and her bewilderment incites fear in her chest. She bites her tongue, continues her dance, refuses to leave the egg in the clutches of whatever the light-thing(s) is (are). Even if she skirts a few meters away, just to be safe. The egg begins to rise, and she gasps -- "No." -- it is not safe, can't they (it) see? She glances around at the others assembled, for surely they will not allow such a precarious situation to evolve. By the time the egg finally stops rising, the sunset mare is fully and completely distressed: it is too high, and it is too far away for her to save it, and she would have to go through those (that) thing(s) to get there. Still, she cannot help but hope that she, and not anyone else, is the one to reach it first. Still, she hesitates. The pillar on which the egg rests seems sturdy enough (for now), and she is not one to go rushing in valiantly, much less without any sort of plan. She notices a small depression, a place that almost seemed as though it could be pushed. The light-creature(s) spin faster, blurring until she can no longer make out any distinct form. She has halted her dance and shifts her weight uncertainly from one side to the other, her breath beginning to come in shorter and shorter gasps. There is nothing that she can do, not without going through the light - and despite how much she wants to be the hero that the egg deserves, she finds herself paralyzed with fear on the edge of the ring, staring up at the precarious egg and hoping against hope that she can find a way to help it.

no dreams within her heart, but dreams of love
The mare’s white eyes are glued to the circle of light, to the twirling creatures as they spin and dance in their humble glory (for although she cannot discern exactly what it is, or even how many there are, she feels such a sense of unity in this moment, she likes to believe that they—separate beings—are one in this experience, joined for a breath by this beautiful miracle). Their brilliant radiance highlights her dainty features, illuminating her gaze in more ways than one. From their light she feels a warmth bloom within her chest, swelling until it fills her bones, enlightening her body with this wonderful happiness. With baited breath, the ocean mare watches as spindles of light reach out to the center of their circle, encompassing the dazzling egg with vibrant threads. Suddenly, the egg is lifted, suspended above the tranquil waters as it seems to dance, matching to rhythm of the strange being(s) that surround it. Tiamat can feel her heartbeat rise, a spark of worry managing to flicker through her mind, concerned for the wellbeing of the precious, fragile orb. However, the movement seems so practiced, so controlled, and so careful that her fear is quickly suppressed. With wondering awe, she watches as the egg is ultimately placed upon a pillar of stone. Up until now, the other members that have gathered have been forgotten—only when they move does she glance back to them, delicate ears pressing curiously forward. Tiamat does not share the concern of some of the others. While she wants nothing but the best for this egg, and the dear child within, there is no doubt in her mind that these creatures of light wouldn’t allow any harm to come upon it. Stepping almost shyly forward, the blue mare wanders closer to the radiant circle, absorbing its presence. She stops before them, her breath caught for a moment, and she gives them—it?—a bashful smile. “Hello,” she offers an invitation of communication, of welcome, even of friendship. Tiamat’s voice is more subdued than her usual cheer, hushed by reverent respect, and the enchanting awe that has seemingly gripped every one of them. With her smile widening, Tiamat glances to the egg, ever mindful of its precious, captivating, and wondrous presence. notes; Wishlist Seeking a Leviathan with Boil ability; one refusal AB Herd Member—extra name into draw from March Herd Champions. “Speech.” please tag Tia in all replies! magic & force are permitted.

your fears have just become all too real Gray eyes watched this thing glow, he has figured that is was an egg of some sort and it held a companion in its shell. A smile crept across his maw as the blue ocean mare he loved came a greeted him. Black velvet reached out and touched her soft blue neck with a smile hello me amor, I have missed you. Yes it a a very beautiful site, this place is full of magic and wonder. he moves closer to the mare as the light grew brighter and brighter around the eggs. His body moved with the blue mare as the two watched the site fold infront of their eyes The egg laid on a pillar in the air, the strands surrounding the brightened egg. It started to become clearer that these were not things they were strands of light. His body did not dare to move any closer. He worried it would burn or kill him if he did. Gray eyes looked up and watched the light show. The one pillar had a trap like appearance to it with a small indention. Nox shifted his large crown to try to look at the thing more, but he could only make out the forms of a leaver. what is that pillar ?? he questioned the ring of light like it could answer him. His tone was soft and just curious. He looked to the others to see if they might know as well. Attention shifted to Tiamat when she spoke a soft hello. He wondered what would become of this ring of light and egg . "Talk."

I said to the sun—what's the Big Bang like? the sun said—it hurts to become
I watched them spin, faster and faster, mesmerized by the light and their calling. My captivation was broken from the creature(s?) only by a bump at my shoulder. At first, the tender muzzle felt foreign, but the eyes I found were not. My body relaxed (as it had always done with him) and I smiled back at the stallion through my smokey breath. However, the ivy encrusted man could not hold my attention. My gaze shifted, my ears pricked, and I again was filled with undeniable longing as I looked to the egg. It rose higher and higher on a pedestal, the dancing light spun faster and faster. The whole affair began to give me heart palpitations, for I wanted it so badly, Would my longing ( I couldn't let it. The lights, the creatures, however beautiful, existed in a land prone to magical monsters. I watched the others, undoubtedly a bit scared when I saw a couple get so close. But one, a unicorn, hummed. It seemed a ridiculous notion, but I thought it over. When you dance, you should dance to music. I didn't know the time he hummed, so I hummed a harmony, one I hoped he would appreciate, but not nearly as much as the figures. I hummed softly, shook my head lightly back and forth, and smiled tentatively. I unfurled my wings slightly, and followed the figures. I moved through the water slowly, hanging slightly behind the others as I did my best to dance with the light, occasionally bucking and unfurling my wings more and more. Maybe I would spread them all the way. Maybe I would fly, grab the egg before the others could even notice what I had done. But for that moment, I only watched and hummed, and danced. mentions @ Ilios and @ Rikyn she joins in on the humming and starts to dance Seeking a Hellhound with the Acid ability wishlist Refusals: one, two, I would like to use my one extra VOTG roll She walks in starlight in another world.
