A soft muzzle brushes against the delicate petals of a flower. Nares flare as he breathes in the perfume that is the flower's scent. A calm washes over the face of the stallion and he sighs in contentment. The flowers never cease to amaze him, he can admit. As simple as they are they always soothe him and make him feel more at peace with the world that surrounds him. The delicate little things represent peace and stability in his mind, a stability that his life is sorely lacking and has been since his birth some seven years ago.

Feathered legs move through the swaying grass as the large stallion moves on to another bunch of wildflowers. His muzzle brushes against them as he breathes in their scent and sighs again. A small smile creases his lips and he moves on. The Heavenly Field is his favorite place in Helovia, he admits to himself. The flowers there are much more beautiful and smell better than any other place in Helovia he has been, and so he calls the field his home.

The great stallion stops, his neck bending as he lowers his head again. He inhales the scent of more flowers and he finds that they smell delicious and can't help but to nibble tenderly at the flashy pink petals.

It was a rough climb. The rise had seemed gentle and easy to manage at first, and the beat up path had lured him into thinking that it would be a breeze to manage to the top. But the further he went the steeper it became, until the gray knight felt a sudden urge to grow wings, or perhaps learn how to levitate. He pictured himself with horns and the ragged coating of a mountain goat, all while sweat kept pouring down his body and turned his otherwise so shiny coat into a mess of blackened stripes. If he didn't know better one might have thought that he was some kind of odd looking brindle trying to become a spider..
To make matters worse, Fajira laughed at him. The birdlike trills sounded a bit too cheerful, and the way she easily rode the breeze on draconic wings was more than just teasing. The sweet offers of help that slipped across his mental blackboard was not welcome. Nor did he enjoy her persistent fluttering in front of his face, in a way that obscured the vision and made it hard to know just where he was placing his hooves. Whose idea had it been to go up here anyway? A brief remark about what the top might look like, the alluring sight of the well traversed trail... Never again, Lace swore to himself, would he let the dragon decide where to go.

Once he broke out of the surrounding clouds and realized that there was nowhere left to go, the stallion stumbled a bit further onto the meadow and collapsed, eyes closed and the chest rising from strained breathing.

You're in bad shape the White commented critically as she darted past him, her presence revealed to him only through the shadow which for a moment obscured the light of the sun. Lace didn't reply. He was too busy dying to bother with snide comments, to the point where he didn't even react when the snarky little dragon made him aware of the presence of yet another horse up there. Oh, really? Another madman with a death wish. Splendid. Now could he please be allowed to pass out or something?

       The shy mare trots along the flowers, breathing in the heavy perfume of the blossoms that eases her whirling mind. Her violet eyes roam across the field in curiosity at the new place. The sun is golden above her head and she feels on top of the world. A small chattering comes from her back and she turns her head to see the little red figure of the flying squirrel she rescued from the eagle intent on having it for dinner. Zuni, she had decided to call him, sits confidently on her back, bright blue eyes flitting about the field in astonishment. Juniper berries grow along the perimeter, and she stops to bend her head and examine with joy the little purple berries. Zuni scurries down her neck for a better look, his little twitching black nose a stark contrast to the white fur of his face. She laughs at his morbid curiosity, and wonders at his fearlessness when she carries so much fear. Maybe this could be a new start for the mare, one that the little squirrel could help her with.

Kiva continues her walk, for once in her life at ease with her companion on her back enjoying the sights around her. She bends to inhale the scent of a small blue flower, and she catches another scent as well, the scent of another accompanying her in this sacred field. Dipping her head further, out of the corner of her eye, she can see a massive Clydesdale, with three twisted horns protruding from his head and nose. He stands four hands higher than tiny Kiva, the stark, splashed white of his coat a contrast to the bright field. Behind her, she hears a clamoring of the side of a hill, and a small white dragon accompanied by grey stallion. Slowly, Kiva takes a deep breath, the amount of horses in this field a new experience to her senses which were used to being alone. Zuni chitters on her back, and she feels a new confidence instilled in her, one that the little squirrel could help her fortify.

The sounds of hooves scraping the earth reaches the stallion's ears and he lifts his head from the wildflowers and blinks his violet eyes. He watches as a grey stallion emerges from the clouds along with a white dragon. His heart immediately increases in tempo at the sight of it, knowing well that they are bonded to equines and possess the ability to breathe fire. His weight shifts uncertainly as he fights with the desire to already retreat mentally.

Another arrives only moments later, this one a pegasus mare. She has the oddest wings he's ever seen and so his fight ends as abruptly as it begins. His massive head tilts as he studies those wings, wondering how exactly she can fly. Then it dawns on him that staring is quite rude. What if the mare was self conscious? What if those really weren't wings but just folds of skin? Maybe she was overweight at one point and lost it all and it came from that.

Now Jonas is self conscious and he ducks his head down, eyes falling to the grass as he begins nibbling at the flowers again. Maybe if he ignores them they will go away.

Why was it that whenever he wanted to lay down and die, someone always came to interrupt him? Lace cracked his eyes open with a sour grimace and raised the head from its comfortable position against the ground, unwilling to move but too curious to overlook the sound of hooves that vibrated through the ground. Golden eyes caught sight of two bays, that might have been similar if it weren't for the fact that they were so endlessly different. Unicorn and pegasus, and the differences could have ended there. But they didn't, because none of them were exactly standard representatives of their race. The large draft quickly made Lace reconsider his look on unicorns as slender, delicate creatures with white spears attached to their foreheads. Sure he had horns, but there were three of them. And sure he seemed to have a gentle disposition with the way he tucked the head down towards the ground at the sight of the others, but he was far from lithe and fragile. Possibly if one compared him to a mountain...

His gaze casually turned to the smaller mare, and there the equine had to pause and look both two and three times before he could even admit that she should be called a pegasus. She didn't look like any other of the winged ones he had seen before. That membrane that attached to her legs and belly, it was beyond strange. Puzzled the stallion shook his head, fully intending to lie down and close his eyes again when something unexpected happened.

A flash of white passed over his head once, twice, and then the little dragon seemed to tire of waiting for her bonded to get up and do something. With a curious warble she straightened out in the air, flapped the pale wings and took off towards the large Clydesdale. It never crossed her mind that someone might be shaken by the sight of a small yet still very dangerous dragon coming straight towards them, and she simply shook off the mental attempt of her bonded to make her slow down.

Lace cursed and quickly rolled over to the belly before heaving up in a single smooth motion. "Fajira, stop!" he snapped sharply, both in mind and with a voice that easily carried across the field. His mind faintly registered the improbability of a meadow stretching out over the flat top of the mountain but quickly pushed it aside again; he began to hurry forward, worried what the obnoxious dragon might cause with her brazen lack of concern for her own or others safety.
