She is late, late to the meeting, but where there once would have been chagrin, today there is only sheepish apology. Even through the arrival of Frostfall, the princess has been dancing on air—ever since her encounter with Lady Moon herself, a simple joy has possessed her and nothing can get her down. Nasreen arrives at a cheery trot, hooves pounding rhythmically to the background music of a light tinkle of jewelry. Not only do her wings showcase the delicate chains from her adventures in the clouds with Kahlua, but a new amulet bounces jauntily on her chest, a gift from the goddess. A sign, the deity had said, of the message she carried. And oh, was it important indeed! Almost as intoxicating as the goddess’ favor was the feeling that she was needed…the maiden’s chest swells with pride at the very thought. She had never been needed before—honored, yes, respected, of course! But knowing that she was important to the herd? She could get used to that feeling. She does not arrive in time for the bad news or the promotions, nor does she have any way of knowing that Kahlua has called on her to speak. However, her overwhelming desire to share the goddess’ word with the Quian will make the deity’s decree soon apparent. After a quick, breathless ‘hello’ to the gathering (in which her brother is notably absent) and a bow of the head to Kahlua and Kaj, the maiden launches into her recitation. “I have spoken with the goddess,” she begins, and because she can’t help herself, she pauses for effect. “Of the island—she says it is well; the gods are watching. But the Basin…she said that we shouldn’t trust them—or anyone, really.” Nasreen knows little of herd politics, so she prattles on, unnerved by the implications of the Moon’s message. “But she is gracious, oh, so gracious! While she advises the Quian to stand alone, she says that if it is strength we require, we are to find it in her.” A rapturous smile lights up the princess’ features, and she steps back, task completed. When was the last time that she was this happy? horse:Colourize-Stock.deviantart.com || bg: Dark-Wolfs-Stock.deviantart.com || wings: Chocomix-Stock.deviantart.com & Chunga-Stock.deviantart.com || image: impassioned-dreams.deviantart.com || table by wanda |
