As she traveled through the mushrooms, her hooves sunk within ankles depth. She snorted and shook her head in ignorance. Hellä had been here before, not too long ago either. Just before she had met Resplendence, the warrior lady had ventured into the mushy situation. This was her most least-favorite place, even if she hadn’t explored to far from the Sanctuary. It tripped her, and yet with its soft drop, it hurt her almost as if it was rock solid.

She went into the depth of the cave and then noticed how blue light glared along the mushrooms. To her surprise, when she glanced up, her orbs ran across the ceiling of glowing lights. Her jaw dropped with astonishment and she began to walk in circle, gazing up at the lights. These features were much brighter than the stars that spread across the sky at night, and she would much rather watch these than she would the stars.

Hellä’s gaze followed the blue haze until she almost bumped into another mare, but this was no normal companion, she had wings graced upon her dark shoulders. The dappled girl smiled and nodded in welcoming, although, she was thinking she should be the one getting greeted. After all, she had been here for only three moons. Her frame was beautifully slender and sleek, with not scars to recall. She was mighty beautiful, but she wasn’t really the type for the warrior.

Hellä preferred the more soldier type ladies, but she hadn’t bothered walking away from Resplendence, the thought never even came to her. Yet, she didn’t know why. Usually the dappled mare would’ve walked away and forgot about their presence, but Res was something different; somehow. Hellä hadn’t tried to figure out why because she acted just like the other doctors she had ever met; they had an obsession with different kind of herbs. When the mare had come upon the claybank dun; there had been some kind of connection between the two, even if they didn’t exactly know each other. Res was different in appearance, but her personality must’ve had something that clicked Hellä, or else she would’ve just walked away like she did everyone else. But that didn’t happen.

Noticing she had stayed in the same position for a while long now, the mare blinked and back away. “Hello; I’m guessing you’ve come here to shelter from the beast also?” She smiled and dipped her dome so slightly it was almost unnoticeable. Maybe Hellä could start a conversation without it boring her too much to where she wouldn’t leave so early, but she doubted it and it also depended on the painted mare. Whether she could or could not keep the conversation going, that would make up Hellä’s mind if she wanted to stay.

Wasn’t that the way you knew whether the companion was worthy of your presence or not? Either way, that’s how the soldier thought of it, even if the mare didn’t like it. She would get over it or else she wouldn’t bother to come again.
