Phaedra</style> & from your lips she drew the hallelujah</style>

Phae's first quest had tested her emotionally - forcing the once frightened creature to interact with others. Fall in love, or introduce two who will... Unknowingly, Phae had done both. Well, that wasn't quite right. She did know that she was in love with Tolio, but it was quite by accident - and was a tirelessly painful thing. Would the God of the Earth laugh, to know that the mare who so desperately desired a companion so that she wouldn't need the love of others, was pregnant? Probably. They would all laugh - Phaedra the flirtatious and Tolio the Gay. She snorted at the thought - it was ridiculously...and yet, she loved him so. Her second quest, was not so blissful. In exchange for the magic she desired, the Goddess of the Moon had stripped her of her beauty and her dignity. She was nothing, if not beautiful.

Now here she stood between two who seemed to reinforce the curse she was currently under: A stallion who had no interest in looking at her, and a mare who had earned her age, and wore it proudly. Phae looked awkwardly between the two - not only were words difficult for the mare to spit out, but what would she say to either? Her charming wit only sounded pretty when it fell from equally pretty lips - This was to be no tale of redemption, of the inner beauty that Phaedra discovered when faced with the adversity of being ugly. Phae knew what she was, and knew what she wasn't.

With a groan, Phae folded her knobby and slender knee's, flopping herself down onto the lush grass. She already knew the mare's name, Cal. As the roan asked the stallion his, Phae turned to look at him with interest. Yes, who are you? She wondered. Mentally she vowed to find them again, once she wasn't cursed - to introduce them to her true self. To astound them with her beauty and make up for whatever horrible impression they must have formed of her.
