so we treat our love like a fire-fly
Golden hooves landed lightly on the forest floor, barely making noise on the soft debris that littered the ground. Her eyes was wide, but not out of fear- it was curiosity that struck the young girl. Let us go back a bit, to her beginnings. Luciérnaga was born on a Spanish island far away. Raised in a herd of other Pegasi, though none seemed anything like her. Sure, they were all tall and oddly colored, beautiful creatures, she would admit. But they all had broad, feathered wings, and she was adorned with slender fire fly wings. An oddity, and an occasion that caused her father to disown her mother- for neither her mother nor her father had ever seen such a thing. Luci became the outcast of the Caballos Voladores, even her father would not associate with her. Her mother stuck by her, making sure she was fed and taken care of until a horrific storm shook the lands and forced all the horses to take flight. Luci got separated from her mother and soon crash landed here in the Threshold. Exhausted and devastated, she curled up beneath a tree and found rest.
At day break though, she was up again and on the move. Her wings remained folded back behind her like those of a stinging insect as she stepped carefully through the forest, wide eyes searching curiously for life. She spotted many bugs alight in the air and her ears caught the chirps of all the different birds that floated around them. One day, she would have a bird of her own. A companion to soar with, someone who would always accept her. She wished to be back up in the sky, but the heavy tree cover above her made it appear difficult to exit- so, she stuck to exploring the forest floor. A toad hopped from beneath a log out towards her path, she lowered her nose touching it softly. Dry, bumpy skin against a soft velvety muzzle. The frog croaked loudly and leapt clear to the other side of the path and the filly jerked her head out of surprise. A genuine, gleeful laugh filled the atmosphere and her wings fluttered at her side. Ah, the carefree joys of youth.
There were plants and flowers everywhere, and Luci looked on at them intrigued. She had begun to learn of the healing arts of some plants back home before her herd was driven away by the storm. She hoped that here maybe she could be taught more and put herself to good use. It was the purple Pegasus' dream to become a nurse and be able to help others. Her heart was as gold as the marks about her body and there was not a mean inch to be found in her, even given all the trials she had been through. Luciérnaga was a genuinely good, honest girl. A twig snapped in the distance pulling her immediately away from the plants that surrounded her. She erected her dial immediately, eyes focusing on the direction it had come from. What a sight she was, tall, lean, and the color of royalty adorned with the perfect set of fire-fly wings. Her heart beat accelerated and she hoped, if only for a moment.......Mama?
