Solstice

The weather had warmed and the cold and snow had seemed to disappear
from the lands. The painted mare was pleased and had begun to explore
the lands surrounding her new home. Oh how she missed her birth place
Isilme, but the fact that the dead, including her own deceased parents
and elder sister had joined in chasing everyone out. Today her
wanderings brought her upon a strange place. Rumor had it that this
was the home of the Gods that ruled over Helovia. They, much like the
Tome Guardian of Isilme were the ones to grant power. This fact made
the young mare curious. Her son Aaron had already met the God of the
Sun when he was granted the power to make others believe they were on
fire, and the God of the Earth when he had found Kutlu and Ophelia and
seen Kutlu's legs healed. The thought of her son brought a smile to
her face. However it also gave her an idea. Her family and friends
were the reason she became a warrior. Her father Gideon had been one
and had even taught her mother Amani Leila to fight. Now, she had a
family of her own to protect. She sighed thinking of her lost love
Ata.... As time passed it weighed heavy on her heart that she had
run... She should of stayed and helped fight. Maybe, just maybe if she
had Ata would be there with them now.

She shook herself gently, pushing those thoughts aside. No. She had
run to be with Aaron, and through Aaron she still had a piece of Ata.
It was her desire to keep her son safe and to return to him after a
battle that prodded her to call out. "Gods of the Earth, Sun and Moon.
I call you all as I am not sure who to ask what I now seek." she
paused for a moment before speaking again. "I wish to be able to make
a shield to protect myself from others magic.... I'll do whatever it
takes to return to my son... He's all the blood family I have
left...." She sighed heavily. Now to wait and see if she was answered



God of the Sun

A ray of light from the sun intensifies. The light strokes outward in
a straight beam, heading down toward the island, widening and growing.
The ray becomes more strong, more brilliant, more blinding. The light
touches the very earth a few paces away from where Solstice stands.
Then, galloping quite cavalier down the ray of light is the Sun God,
whose color melds with the sun ray, making it nearly impossible to
tell where his hooves begin and where the stop. He slows upon nearing
the ground, speed decreasing, until he simply appears to floats slowly
down, delicate wings spun open to reveal white feathers underneath
that drip with light.

Gracefully, the slender figure of the male lands upon the earth. His
flawless face holds a warm smile, eyes of liquid gold peering at you
with large black pupils. The threads of his white-gold mane drip with
the same luminescent liquid of his wings. Two delicate antelope horns
of solid gold wind backward, facing one of the altars.

"Welcome Solstice, mother of my beloved Aaron," he says, his voice
gentle and warm, welcoming even. There is still a shrewdness laying
underneath his face, one should take caution. "I can create the shield
you wish. I would ask but a simple task for a mother who has raised
such an upright child." His smiling is flashing, a bright glimmering
in his eyes.

"Befriend and individual with magic you find truly fearsome, and bring
them to me. I promise to protect you until then."

As she stodd one ray of light grew brighter, blinding. With a snort
she stepped backward, her neck arching slightly as she tried to
protect her hazel eyes from the light. Was this how other's delt with
her magic? The ray still grew brighter, the beam of light getting
wider and wider. It was then she realized that she was about to meet
the God of the Sun... just as her son had. As the God touched down she
allowed her front legs to buckle into a bow. Hazel eyes lifted to take
in his apperence... He was much different than the Tome Guardian had
been... He seemed, kinder... in a way. He spoke in a gentle and warm
voice that made her smile. "Thank you Sir.... Aaron is my pride and
joy..... A magic I fear? I shall do my best as the only magic I have
ever feared was the magic of my lost love." With those words she moved
to stand upright. This task was easy..... but in the same fact hard as
well..... A magic she feared..... She waited to see if the God would
speak again before she would leave.



The God of the Sun

The bow filled his heart with pride, swelling until the point of
nearly bursting. The God of the Sun enjoyed those who felt respect for
the warm light of the sun and the fire that burned on its luminescent
surface. A good mare, with a good son, so long as they favored his
artful magic.
After her agreement to his task, the God smiles again, a bright
expression. "Be safe, my dear Solstice," he says, before disappearing
in a beam of light.
