I'm always searching for something more.

(I am so sorry this took so long! Went away for the week ^^;;)

I stared up at him very much like the star-struck and fearful child that I was, heart pounding in my ears, breath sharp. Snow that fell from the sky? How was that possible? It couldn't be! I remember the lessons that old woman Diiva taught, of how snow grew from mother natures tears, shed for the heat of summer and frozen in wait for spring. This place, this land was so strange and foreign, pegasi with accents and two-toned fur! What else wandered the dark paths of this world? My flesh crawled at the idea of monsters and Diiva's fairytales. This man would definitely fit the bill, so strange and out of place, but wait... Here it was common, familiar, and not so bizarre. Because I wasn't home, I wasn't fast asleep in the thicket with Mother, I wasn't giddy for another days excitement with Milly.

I was lost, and I was alone. And I was scared. Apparently left for dead as well for the one called Midas admitted no acquaintance to my mother, and I withered. "I am left behind then, left for the pickings," I couldn't even fly so escape was impossible. I cast my golden gaze at the stallion and eyed him quietly, silently resigning myself to my fate. It was only befitting of an ill-born pegasus who had trouble controlling her own wings. Small, dainty, and horribly plain, there was nothing spectacular to set me apart from your run of the mill orphan. "Where do you live... Midas" I tried the name on my tongue and had to roll it around a few times, simple and lacking extravagance.

I stood there tall though with shoulders slightly slumped and limbs quaking from the chill. If Mother were here I wouldn't have been, but she wasn't was she. No, she was gone and all I had was a strange beast with two skins.
