the best dreams happen when you're awake
It had been a while since she last saw her family. Her dearest mother, Nevaeh, and her beloved father, Torak. They had once been everything to the mare, they still were. She missed them now - and the blue mare hoped that they missed her too.
Galloping across the lands had made her exhausted and she slowed down to a trotting pace, taking in her surroundings. Of course she hadn't paid much attention to it, her red eyes had practically been glued to the road she'd followed.
Where was she now?
Her red hooves carried her forward as she observed the forest around her, curious and wondering what this land was called. If she had even arrived to a land. This could just be a random forest what she knew.

But it was hopefully worth it, her journey here. If this was a land, then she wouldn't say no to staying here for a while. Maybe even settle down? She was longing for a family to hold close to her, a herd to surround her and make her feel safe.
The mare sighed lightly and stopped by a big tree that stood out in the big forest. It was thicker than the others.
She laid down and took a deep breath. Her muscles were aching, which wasn't a mystery since she had galloped for so long. Red curly straws of hair covered her thin neck and her forelock was parted in two by a long, red and blue horn. It was smooth to the surface and had an extraordinary sharp tip.
She was a unicorn - but that didn't make her much more different than anyone else. Everyone was unique but no one was special. That had been her motto during her journey to this place.

Equines, pegasi, unicorns. The only thing that parted the three species was their appearance. But they were still horses, they all had mates and longing for company. They were all built like the original horse.
The blue mare sighed again and closed her eyes. There were not many horses that agreed with her opinion. Some that she had met had even spoken their opinions about one species ruling them all out loud, which always made the mare upset.
They could just keep their mouth shut.
Keep... Their mouth... Shut....
She was slowly falling asleep, wandering into the land of dreams. Her mother and father welcomed her home again in the dream, they hugged her and were happy.
Nevaeh, her mother, was a beautiful light blue unicorn just like her, except that she had blonde hair instead of red. Her horn was golden, just like her eyes and hooves. And her father... Her father had a metallic coat, and his other features were red. Red eyes, red hair, red hooves... Even his horn was fully red.

Mother and father... Naveen, the blue mare, sighed and opened her eyes again. For how long had she been asleep? It had been daytime when she had fallen asleep, and it was dark now. The sun was setting behind the trees shadows and the sky was purple in color.
Naveen yawned and found her legs again, getting up with very little trouble. She whipped her curly, long tail and looked around.
Still alone?
"Hello, is anyone out there?" She had a sweet voice, something she had heard from all of the members in her old herd. Innocent, almost.
"Hello?"

"Talking"

NAVEEN
