ELDALA's hooves had betrayed her today. She'd wandered again but this time to the place where she'd met her first, brief lover. What a reject at these types of things, she was. The Tallsun day was quiet until she heard an odd set of words. She waited on the edges while the others spoke and considered their words. Some were for the all of equanity but many left out free will in their requests. Perhaps, still others, were backhandedly insulting the gods they wished to speak to. Others were selfish, as she was sure her idea would be. Not because she wanted to be but because she didn't really have any ties in this land so deep as to wish for something universal for so many.

I mean what else would she wish for? That each horse got one item they wished for? That would be the only way to ensure that a horse got what it wanted and what god wanted to deal with all of that? Her mind veered back to the situation at hand. What did she want? She wanted a lover, or foals, certainly. But she felt as if the gods being spoken of probably wouldn't be able to help her with that one (If only she knew the humor behind that thought.). She wanted to be seen in a positive light by her herdmates, she wanted to make friends, she wanted to be a better crafter, she wanted her herd leaders to be proud of her and not cause a mere rolling of the eyes. She wanted, she wanted. She wanted many things but were any number of them befitting a request from a god?

It hit her like a rough wave, flooding her mind, and removing all other thoughts. It was a memory of her childhood and a story spoken many times. Eios had never been one to talk about his early life, before he'd arrived in Glassmeroe but the one tale he had told was a fantastical tale of magic and warring tribes of underdeveloped lands and of gods...one in particular, who'd raised him from birth. Eldala's mother had always been sure to remind her and her siblings that the tale was just a fun way of explaining something which otherwise couldn't. The hazelnut mare had, after a time, come to assume that it was a cover for some sort of atrocious birth story. What had been the best of bed time stories became something sad. But now that she was in Helovia, where gods and magic and strange creatures roamed free, the tale didn't seem so nearly absurd. In fact, now that she thought of it, the similarities were astonishing. No one called the gods "Father" or "Brother" anything but, if anyone were to be able to tell her about her Father's mysterious past, it would be an all-knowledgeable God, right? /But the others are all asking for greater things.../

Her small peak tilted to the side for a moment, contemplating her response. There was one to go just before her who mentioned that it was between him and the god...a brilliant response. It was one she certainly wouldn't have thought of herself and, now that he'd said it, she wouldn't have been able to speak something so similar. Instead, she goes for reserved honesty. The truth but without many details. When she finds a space for her to speak her request she does so respectfully but with a calm, easily heard voice. "I would love to speak with them about a matter of my past which is most important to me in order to find out the truth of it." The moment it was out she felt rather foolish but she wasn't going to take it back now. She was yearning for some way to remain connected to her family, to her past, and to find out anything she could.

.. "Words"

OOC: I saw some posts asking for things buut I decided to play it safe. xD Eldala doesn't know which God she'd prefer to talk to but it would be the Earth god so she can find out about her father's past (Eios)/not feel as if her family is all gone. (Since she has extensive relatives her still,lol)
