it was said that the blood of the stars
flowed in her veins
I bit my lip in uncertainty, mirroring the anxiety of the older mare on the ground. We were hesitant about each other, her more than I, though I wasn't sure. Whatever she had with her I could only assume was valuable, enough so that it would cause her to act like this. I did my best to look harmless, relaxing and taking a step back from her.
Fortunately, the pale equine decided I wasn't a threat. At least, I think she did. She decided to play nice, which in my mind, was the same thing. I leaned closer then, pale gaze flicking back to the crimson smudge I saw against the verdant. It was then that I caught wind of her smell, of waterfalls and pine. My stomach dropped, and my gaze flicked to my hooves.
She smelled like the Falls.
She smelled like home.
It took all I had to keep myself from turning around and leaving. Staying here, so close to my home and with one of it's inhabitants, made me homesick. But I preserved, even if just to see what the equine was concealing. I stepped closer to her, peering over and seeing that the blot of crimson, was in fact, an egg.
I returned her smile, though my own was perhaps a bit more somber, maybe a little forced. I couldn't help but feel a bit jealous of her egg, of her herd. But I knew it wasn't fair to be like that, she probably worked hard for what she had. I would do the same, and maybe someday, I would have my family back. "It's so pretty..Do you have ideas for names?" I asked, tail swishing at my hocks to shake a bit of water droplets off.
I flicked an ear towards the mare, my smile becoming more relaxed when she introduced herself. "I'm Auriel, protector at the Edge," I stated with a huff of onyx smoke slipping around my lips. I let silence settle between us for a moment before deciding to lay down as well. I was still feeling the effects of the sleep I had been enjoying moments before. "Do you live in the Falls, by any chance?" I asked softly, my features soft and smoke sparse, shuffling my wings at my sides just to keep my mind off dwelling too much on my birthplace.

She walks in starlight in another world.
She is far away. She...she is far, far away from me.
