"Where brilliance is good and madness is better..."
Helovia Info
Helovia opened in February 2012! We are an active fantasy equine RPG
Where once the world narrowed into naught but gray dust and desolation, the gods called for life. Wielding the elements of fire and light, dark and wind, earth and water, spark and time, they have created Helovia. The realm is set within the mythical globe of Loorien, a planet rich with all variety of creatures and blessed with all manner of magic. Originally populated by nomadic, tribal characters, they've since grown into massive empires saturated with culture and history. Separated into four distinct segments of Helovia, called "The Regions," each band of horse strong enough and capable enough, took up the power and responsibility of leadership. Unicorns, old, wise and mysterious, took to the north, hidden in forests of mists and shadows and rarely making themselves known beyond their cliffs of the World's Edge. Equines, vast, organized and militaristic, split into two, one group went north to the Windtossed Foothills and the other group went south to the Dragon's Throat. Pegasus remained nomadic, making their homes in various parts of The Wilds in a migratory manner. For many generations, the land was peaceful and calm, but peace was never the way of the gods. With a clash of argument, war and bloodshed massacred Helovia, and in the aftermath, the realm was eerily quiet. Now, as newcomers sweep into this land, they are met with the lingering bitterness of the gods and the struggle to reclaim what was lost. Nothing remains safe or certain while sorcerers and soldiers alike brood and bide their time for revenge, honor and glory.

Doppleganger Plot ☼ - 6/20/13 - The God of Time is still struggling to close the rift though which the dopplegangers have come. He has requested that his brothers and sister assist in closing this hole, but without knowing why it opened, the task is proving difficult. Magic still remains faulty and hard to control, but the herdlands continue to be places of refuge for those who are fortunate enough to call these lands home.
ORANGEMOON cools off the lands with a a viscious force. Colder than normal, a sign of things to come during Frostfall, Helovia is bathed in a rich tropical lushness - albiet a cold one. The coastlines of the Dragon's Throat are pelted constantly by tidal waves, and the desert climate is humid but chilly. Ice begins to form early in the Aurora Basin leaving the winding trails slick and dangerous. The mists of the World's Edge coat everything in a glistening crystalline shine which encourages mould to grow everywhere. The Spectral Marsh is the only area which remains fertile, blissfully temperature and lush.

Rei
Rei knew that it was probably too soon for her to be wandering from her new-found home as part of the Dragon's Throat herd but since flying over this section of Helovia this place had called for her. Her heart had ached with the need to venture through the Heart of Helovia.
Coming to the opening of the cave her senses were on alert. Her ears stiffly tilted forward towards the cave before swiveling in all directions listening for what she was unsure. Maybe an excuse not to go in. What had before seemed a grand adventure was now unnerving. While in the caves she wouldn't be able to see the sky.
Shaking her head she turned from the gaping mouth of the cave. With a running start she pointed herself towards home and lifted herself from the ground with a single powerful leap.
The apprehension that had curled itself around her heart slinked off into the dusk as the wind caressed her wings lifting her higher and further away from her fears.
You're running from them. Your fears cannot be out ran.
She knew that. Her conscious wasn't telling her something that she didn't already know.
They will find you. Maybe not here in these caves. But later they will return.
She was also aware of that.
What will you do then Rei? Run again?
She knew that she wouldn't do that. Banking sharply Rei turned back in the direction of the caves. With only a moments hesitation she flew into the lip of the cave and the spotted pegasus was swallowed whole.
Once inside she landed, while in the air she had felt more natural and therefore braver. Entering in such a grand way had made her feel much more bold than what she was. Looking back towards the opening one last time before going forward she saw one of her ebony feathers floating towards the ground. After watching until it settled on the still warm ground at the edge of the entrance she turned and walked further into the cool cave.
As she moved forward she experienced the strange sensation of the cool ground under her feet, the cool air that settled around her, but also felt an intense warmth emanating from deeper within. Continuing forward the warmth grew to be stronger and a light sweat began to form on her freckled brow. While carefully placing her hooves on the wet ground beneath her Rei slid down a slope before entering a room unlike anything she had ever seen.
"Wow," it was more of a breath than a word whenever it passed over her lips. She had her breath unexpectedly taken by the grand space she now found herself in.
Her ears quickly flicked back as rocks from the slope behind her clattered from their resting places. Excited at the thought of possibly meeting another Rei glanced behind her, but spotted no movement. After briefly stretching her wings out she settled them back into place and eagerly continued forward.
Rei walked dreamily through the room filled with stalactites and stalagmites. The otherworldly glow cast by the beautiful formations reflected brightly in her wandering eyes. Her wide eyes didn't rest in any one place for long. Slowly walking through the room she stopped and marveled at a towering stalagmite. Gingerly the pegasus reached out and brushed against the ancient giant with her nose. The warmth from its inner light warmed her sensitive skin. Pulling away she craned her neck back taking in the stalagmites full stature before continuing forward.
Four different paths sat in front of Rei. Four different adventures were imagined in her head. Lost in a day dream she stood with one of her back hooves resting putting the rest of her weight on the other three. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the silhouette of another pass against the molten yellow backdrop of the wall of falling lava. Jerking upright she cautiously began to head in the direction in which she had thought to have seen the other.
Suddenly realizing that she had left a home that she barely knew, into a system of caves that she didn't know at all, with someone that was an apparent stranger Rei spun and galloped in back in the direction where the four caverns branched off.
Continuing her panicked flight she ran into the first entrance that she came to. She skidded through a winding labyrinth with glinting crystals lining the walls. Coming around one corner too quickly Rei crashed into the wall. Breathing heavily from her reckless dash she stayed where she was for a moment.
"That was stupid!" Rei grunted as she heaved herself back to her feet. Gently she shook herself and by first stretching out each fragile wing she checked herself for injuries. Luckily she was unscathed and only slightly sore.
Observing her surroundings for the first time her breath caught in her throat. The crystal studded walls winked at her with colors that webbed out slowly altering their shades of color. The marvelous light show soothed her unlike anything that she had experienced in all of her five years.
Mellowed out Rei strolled through the twists and turns of her crystal cavern. While glancing up at the ceiling, admiring the way the soft lights danced on her hooves, and smiling at the walls around her the naive pegasus didn't bother to remember the path in which she took.
After hours of strutting through the cavern she had grown to adore Rei yawned and turned to head out. It wasn't until she had wandering in many circles that denial wore off and her plight dawned on her.
"I am lost." It wasn't a whimper nor a shout. Simply a statement that fell bluntly from her lips. Despair was never her first response calmly she once again moved to attempt to retrace her steps.
In the time that Rei searched for the path out the crystal's colors shining from the walls changed many times over. Rei had been searching for her way out for another hour. Moving at a brisk trot she turned corners trying her best to suppress the panic that was now threatening to take hold of her.
Deciding to take one of the turns at the last moment Rei bumped into a figure. Too optimistic for help and too tired to be fearful she lifted her head from where it had bumped into the other's upper neckline, "Hey there, I am Rei. And I am terribly lost."
Magic usage is okay.
Just ask before doing any actions that may cause a great deal of damage first.
I am also okay with being tagged.
