Loose ends, they tangle down and then take flight.

Larkspur had hardly stepped foot outside the confines of the Basin’s mountainous walls the past few weeks, immersing herself in the familiar comfort of a warriors routine. Her time was spent patrolling the borders, keeping a watchful eye over the herd lands that had become her home, and the unicorns in it. Long nights lead to silent vigils of contemplation beneath the glow of the Aurora Borealis that hung itself above their heads, distant stars and a pale moon always attempting to shine down on the darkness of her worries, the shadows of her suspicions. In a particular state of restlessness, the cerulean mare found herself climbing through the snow laden mountain pass that so expertly hid her home from the unknowing eyes. Down through the mountains she spirited herself away, traveling through the enchanting tunnels of the Frozen Arch, into lower elevations and slightly warmer climates. Wanderlust had led her here, to the Heavinly Fields.

The serenity of the area was contagious. Lingering in the shade cast by scattered trees at the fields outermost edge, the unicorn grazed in relative relaxation. Emerald green blades of grass give way to her gnashing teeth and heavy hooves tearing at the soil as she moved, methodically and slowly, along the tree line. Sunrise after sunset she had spent in silent brooding, internalized sorrow and regret building upon a foundation of self-abhorrence that was quickly ruining her. But not this day. An oddity composed of obsidian and midnight blue amongst the Birdsong green of this place, Larkspur did not waste anguish in thinking, but rather pushed all thought and reason from her usually frantic cognizance, and lost herself in the ignorant bliss of forgetting.

The volatile harmony she had created was disturbed though, by a rush of wind and the familiar flurry of wings and feathers against it. Surprised and hardly expecting company, the azure mare glanced upward to catch sight of the great stallion that had landed in the midst of the fields, as well as the sky-blue wind walker that arrived shortly behind him. A third stranger arrived as well, large and impressive in size much like the first, though his wings were petit in stature. The first stallion's presence changed the atmosphere instantly, and Larkspur could also feel the timeless call of a God’s beckoning tugging persistently at her core. Thoughtlessly, in childlike fascination that is so unlike her, she retreated from the shade and into the sunlight in the direction of the three. She did not hear the other mare’s words, so entranced was she by the great bay beast that stands before her. Thor, or so the third called himself, seemed cordial enough, and the unicorn offered each of them a slight dip of her horned brow in recognition, though she remained otherwise silent. Rams horns spiraled from the top of the mighty bay pegasus' head amidst a wild fray of dual-toned hair, so large was he that even the lanky warrior must peer upward to meet his warm gaze. There could only be one explanation as to the hopeless pull the normally stoic and unmoving mare felt as she stood before him.

She was in the presence of a God.
