Excitement seems to blossom into nervousness. The girl that was so adamantly confident was now terrified at the prospect of meeting even more of her kind. Was she a normal socialite? Or was she bound to be outcasted for her pure ignorance. So many years had been wasted away in solitude, but did the negative effects finally start to outweigh the positive one? Living alone had taught her to be grateful, and kind in her mother's company. Likewise, she fell in sync the same way. Both were codependent both physically and mentally. Hardships were shared, joys and little delights greedily accepted, so was society the same? Somehow in her mind, that whole equation didn't quite work. Although with a little tweaking here and there- like always- she made it work. Those growing together could not be apart, right? So that must mean everyone looks out for each other. She nodded her head silently in agreement with herself, continuing to follow faithfully behind her new friend, if you could call her that.

The scenery had changed from lush forest to a more barren land. Sparse grasses seem to be fighting for breath, while others are completely incased in patches of snow. Not more than a few hours ago, had the heat been sticking her her like glue. A distinct chill was in the air, contrasting against the sheen of sweat that had formed. If it wasn't for the suns rays continuously beating upon her hide, she most certainly would have been cold. Her friend then suddenly gives a warning, and Ellie glances underfoot. She hadn't even noticed the rocks that were sprawled about, threatening to try and eat her hoof. The girl murmurs a quiet thanks, as the sighs of the wintry land encase her attention.

The icy arches and patchy landscape seems to expand out into the abyss. Arah did say others were here, right? Again the nerves creep up into the back of her throat. It was a feeling of terror she rarely had gotten. Just as she was thinking of an escape plan, Arah had led her to a trodden path. From afar, it had looked like nothing, just a barren landscape looking pathetically desolate. Yet now, as each foot tentatively followed Arah's with awkward grace, something more seemed to be coming into fruition.

Before them stands two, large beings. They look metallic, almost like her mothers little trinkets from home. They glittered in the light a little, but not much. The sheer size of them is enough to make her cower. Why did such a place ned this much protection? Scared golden eyes dart to her in silent question, but she trusts Arah. So far, she had not led Elowyn astray. That was a promising start.

So many questions plague the child's head. Yet, she stays silent behind her guide. Arah knows what she is doing, and so Elowyn patiently awaits until her tour is done. Everything is so overwhelming to take in, lakes that never melt, grasses that seem to defy logic, mirrors that don't reflect, hot springs. When the deer-horned woman stops speaking, Elowyn sighs aloud, sheepishly smiling. "It's all so... beautiful. Thank you for offering me the chance to come here." Star-struck eyes can't help but linger around the frozen home. Would this be where she sticks for good? It was very likely at this point. However, was there anything she need worry about? "Are there any specific tasks or rules I must follow?" It's an innocent question, but one Ellie took seriously. The last thing she needed was enemies among her new found friends.
