Look down, the ground below is crumbling Look up, the stars are all exploding Misfortune had tarnished the blissful nature of Africa’s youth, forcing both an untimely and disastrous wave of maturity to grip her soul. It was this vast insight into the grave troubles of her kin, that gave the dappled horse a much softer, more tender and patient approach. She did not presume to understand or predict the historical nature of those she came across; her family, and her scarce friends, more offered a thoughtful shoulder should any find the need to confide. It was this new slice of her previously flighty, childish personality which shone as she stood in the company of the younger Pegasus at that moment; the filly who appeared to be so full of apprehension and uncertainty. Africa wanted to offer her at least the security of her friendship- regardless; she would wait patiently, as long as was needed. She could not help but smile tenderly across to meet the uplifted glance of the girl, the last of her reply finally finding its way across a nervous tongue and out between the soft, youthful lips. “I live to the south of this forest,…” Africa replied simply, comfortably through her softly glowing smile. “This is the Threshold- Silas and I come here often.” There were few places in Helovia that the mare; once so adventurous, guided by innocent, starry-eyes, had not explored. She marvelled at the country’s extravagant lore, and indulged her passion and craving to learn at every opportunity. Always there was something to tempt her curiosity. “Helovia, this region, is not overrun…” Africa began gently, attempting to comfort Aurelia and reassure her that no threat lingered in the shade of the great redwoods around them. “Naturally though, there are safer places then this forest- typically, wildlife roams across any land.” The one-winged horse chuckled softly, few predators (aside from the grotesque population of northern Unicorns) had crossed her path even since her arrival in these parts last Tallsun, though she presumed such would not generally hunt out an adult of her stature- not that she thought herself to be overly intimidating. |
