You think I'll be the dark sky
Of course the last thing she expected to happen as she looked down upon the rippling steaming water, was to look up and see a creature running at her. Immediately, she lowered her head and glanced away from the ebony colt as he approached, doing her best to ignore the boy in all his wild splendor. He wasn’t Kianzo, so that was great news. He wasn’t anyone she had known yet and she began to feel the persistence of her inner conscious urging her to talk to him. But she refused, for the moment anyhow. She stood, watching the water while her companion blatantly stared at the colt. He stood beside a rock along the ledge, a tiny ball of fluff and feathers with black legs and blackish yellow eyes that sensed every movement like a motion detector. He clicked his black beak briefly, trying to get his bonded’s attention even though she knew he was standing there. But he wasn’t moving, so she refused to. Instead she continued to watch her reflection for however long it took for the colt to move again.

It appeared two could play at this game. When he began to move, she looked up at him. Ivory striped face with the dark nub of a horn trying to grow in between her brow facing him and watching him as he ignored her! How strange was this interaction! She watched him, then, oceanic eyes staring at his dark ebony hide except for a few ivory spots here and there. He was nearly all black and it intrigued her. Almost everyone she had seen so far had at mostly lighter colored pelts. Except for Deimos of course, but he was a lord so it made sense! Was this colt the child of a King too?

He hopped up near the water and put his head down toward it, blowing at the water. Kiada immediately looked back down to see the ripples dance across her reflection from the swirling sensation the colt had begun. Cocking her head she looked back up at him for a moment. “I kinda wanna go in. But it’s hot out here and it’s hot in there.” She thought aloud, pointing her question directly at the colt. Her oceanic eyes bright and almost smiley as she pushed her thoughts aside to make a new friend – regardless if Kianzo would argue with her later. The more people they knew, the better for their takeover. He didn’t realize it yet, but one day he would and he would be thankful.

What do you think?” She questioned, eyes washing over him. He had wings like the man in the Threshold! But he also had a horn that the other man from the Edge didn’t and it confused her. So she peered closer at him for a few seconds if he allowed her, ivory rimmed ears perked and standing straight toward him if he were to say something. Maybe he knew her father too! And if his father was a King, maybe they could be great friends since her father was a King too! But of course thoughts like that made the filly feel a swift change of emotion. The flames that licked across her back that were originally little deer had shifted to a more mournful kind of display of a vulture like Khairi was. They sat along her back, made entirely of harmless flame, observing with unseeing eyes the area around them in a split second of sadness. She hadn’t met her father yet, but she had heard of him. She began to wonder how Kings treated their children, and thought about asking the colt in front of her but she didn’t want to be rude. So she stood and waited with a slight flick of her tail.

"Talk."
so you can be the star? —
I'll swallow you whole.
