Laedere

❈ when you go home everything looks different ❈

One limb in front of the other. The trek back toward the threshold had become almost monotonous. Aye, it was simple in many ways, but grueling in others. Her bodice clung to the feeling of movement, of exercising each and every one of her muscles. Yet, her mind was aching for the memory of flying. How the wind felt as it wrapped around her tendrils and pleaded for her to dance along with it. How the wind seemed to buffer her wings, glaze across her feathers.

No, that feeling was gone - but she longed for it once more. So, on occasion, as she galloped across open spaces, she allowed her wings to snap out - to feel the wind caress her appendages. It was only when she was midway into the threshold that she finally stopped trying to find those open places. Instead, her wings stayed ruffled up against her barrel as she began to start looking for possible recruits. Aye, Midas and Africa had found her here… had offered her a home, it was only fair that she return the favor of this home from the two lovebirds (now very much so love birds, though she only used the term in the fact that the pair were both lovely to be around) by increasing the breadth and reach of the members.

Ardere didn't really seem to care, or understand, what the purpose of this trek was. But, who could blame the young one? She was still but a small dolphin that bore the marks of Pompeii upon her flesh. All that Ardere desired was to explore the world - and so as the two continued to move forward, she was the first to stumble across another equine-like creature. There was a swell of joy that flooded the bond before Ardere began to swim around the unicorn, with ample distance between the leviathan and the horned creature. Confused, and trying to keep up with Ardere, Laedere pulled from the line of trees to see the mare encased in a layer of gold. No wings dawned upon her frame, but instead a singular horn that protruded from her skull.

"Aye, Ardere - come hither!" Laedere begged in her mind, only to have Ardere float back over to Laedere's side, hovering near Laedere's missing patch of feathers. "Salutations. How are ye on thine fine morn?" Laedere inquired, carefully dropping her nose in a respectful, welcoming gesture. Nay, she could not be sure that this mare was actually new to Helovia, in all of its grandeur, but she still did wish to offer them assistance should it be required. Tis was only fair after the welcoming she had received during her appearance.
