"Tell Me Something Sweet To Get Me By"

The young mare bounded after her best friend, the vibrant purple pony that only her mind could let her see, Lily. The stubby legs of the pony drummed the earth steadily in Jahzara'a ears, her comforting and familiar voice urging her to give chase to follow her. Lily was drawn to something, and the golden vixen had yet to figure out exactly what it was. They had never travelled to this portion of Helovia, but perhaps it was the Gods themselves that were beckoning to the hallucinations of Jahzara's mind in order to draw the mare in. As the vivacious mare giggled away in her canter, the pony led her to one of the clouds that could lift the flightless to the floating island above. The mare had heard of such a magical place, yet she had a hard time believing that it actually existed. However, the pony waltz right into the cloud, disappearing from her mind's eye as Jahzara stepped daintly forward.

As the cloud began to ascend, a broad grin spread acros the golden girl's lips and she carefully glanced over the edge of the cloud to the earth falling farther and farther from her site. Surely, this was what it was like to fly! Lifting her nose to the air, the wind dancing her her mane and tail, she took a deep breath and imagined for a second that she had the wonderous wings like so many she had seen in the amazing world of Helovia. When the cloud reached the floating island, the sound of water flowing over the edge's caught her attention. Lily reappeared before her, practically rearing with excitement. 'Jay, there are a ton of other horses here! Something exciting is going on!' With a nicker of acknowledgement, Jahzara began to following the hoofprints and sounds of the gathering of equines. There were many faces that were strange to her, but a few familiar faces but her at ease.

The mare smiled at the sight of her teammates, beaming to know that they were hear with her. A few other beings, some with some not so savory expressions, made the mare shy away. Strategically, she kept near familiar faces that she had grown more comfortable with, including her fellow herdmates. Squeezing through the ground, she struggled to see what everyone was looking at. When she finally made her through, her healthy gaze landed on the sight of the most beautiful tree she had ever seen. And beneath it, a massive...What were those things again? 'Damn, that's a big ass turtle!' "Lily! Manners!" Jahzara hissed under her breath, imagining the pony sizing herself up by the large turtle. As they watched, Lily grasped on to what was happening. 'Jay, he's giving presents! I think he might be related to the Gods or something!'

The Arabian cross tilted her dished crown, clearly confused by the concept. Presents? For...everybody? As she glanced around, she realized that they were, indeed, all receiving presents. Her jaw went slack with surprise, admiring the gifts that were bestowed to those around her and she suddenly felt like she was imposing. Nervously she flicked her tassle, wondering if it was rude to be here. But nobody was turning her away, none of her herdmates seemed to give any signs that she wasn't welcome. Timidly, she stepped forward to the turtle. "This is amazing, everyone from all walks of life are here and they are all accepting each other and you. Thank you for that, thank you for the moment of peace you have brought us." She wasn't trying to bribe him or ask for any sorts of presents, rather she was truly impressed and admired the magic that this unusual divine being brought here. The best thing that this turtle could offer any of them, in her eyes, was the gift of peace. Even if it was just for a moment, it was something.
