She had been trying for days now, but she simply couldn't do it. With each struggled flap she tried to rush forward, lifting her forehooves off the ground, only to land abruptly once again. She snorted, stumbling forward and nearly falling over, before she sighed and turned to look at her wings, the edges frayed and the insides torn here and there, causing a frown to fall upon inky maw. She decided to rest now, turning away from the flat expanse before her and towards the edge of the cliff, listening to the ocean breeze and trying to find solace in it. Hazel eyes closed to embrace the moment, a contented sigh escaping her. She missed this; the smell of the ocean and the cool breeze. She missed being able to look out into the sky for miles upon miles, and then able to turn around and return to the sanctuary of pine trees. Only this wasn't the Edge and she didn't know when she could return to them, which made her heart shatter into a million pieces.
She had made the decision to leave, to search for Mother and to find herself and her old life again. Though she had learned near the very beginning that this had been home all along. She had made such good friends, met amazing people, and her heart had been more rooted in this world than she thought. She needed to stop holding onto the past, she had to let go and accept the fate the Gods had bestowed upon her, because whether or not she knew it now; they were leading her into the best direction. She smiled wistfully at the thought, bringing herself closer to the edge and looking outwards as the wind ruffled her milky mane. A single tear escaped her hazel orbs, and soon a soft whisper left her lips,"Goodbye... Mother." Despite her heart breaking inside, she smiled a satisfied smile, and as she turned away that's when she noticed a man further off along the reef. She blinked away the last of her sorrows and smile warmly, ready to embrace this new moment of possible friendship.
"Hello, it's a beautiful day out isn't it?" she called out to him softly, before moving inky legs into his direction, dipping her head politely before making eye contact once more," My name is Myrrine. It's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask your name sir?" Ever so polite, as she always was, especially since this man was older than she. Mother had always taught her to respect her elders, and even though she had accepted that Mother was gone, she would never forget the teachings she had given to her. Her silken wings fluttered at her sides gently, and they still looked radiant even with tears and rough edges. She missed the freedom they had given her when she flew, and she hoped that one day they would heal, but until then; she would enjoy walking on the ground like she had done before she had been blessed with these wings, and she would be welcoming to anyone who came across her path. Just like she intended to be with this man now. She only hoped that he would feel the same!
OOC: No worries! I'm excited :)
