Drawing to a halt off a little ways from the bay coloured mare, she turns her head to check where the boys had stopped beside her. Aeolus had Levex practically glued to his side and both of them were invisibly tethered to her side. Whenever she moved they moved, it was almost like a dance only with many awkward steps on both their parts as they bumped up against her still chubby side. Turning her attention back to the stranger her eyes grazed over the sleek frame of muscle before her. White patches adorned her body in places and she smelled of something strange. Perhaps she was from an outside herd? No wait, there was a glimmer of something she had smelled before around Helovia. Perhaps a herd she had not come across yet?

As the soft response reaches her ears she softens her expression a little further. She knew what it was like to be lost and have no clue where the hell you where. That much she could sympathize with and her politeness helped ease her worries that this was just some false facade. " You have come across one of the Helovian herds, we stand within the Edge's borders here." She replied softly motioning around to the surrounding area. It was difficult to determine where one land started and another ended to be honest. There had been many times she had wandered too close into one of the other herds and have someone inform her that she was trespassing. While occasionally it was without venom in their tone she had encountered the odd individual that had half torn her head off over such a mistake.

" My name is Brisa and these two are Aeolus and Levex." Introducing them all she nudged their necks affectionately trying to persuade them to not be so frightened of the big scary stranger who seemed to be anything but. Aeolus only responded with a soft snort and moving away no more than half a step. Oh well she could only try, at least he dared to show more of himself rather than just his handsome face. Her gaze hovered momentarily over the white brindling that was slowly starting to fade into his dark coat, it was a mystery where he had inherited that.

" Are you new to Helovia..?" She asked finally as she turned her gaze back to encompass the painted mare again. She would have used her name but she couldn't remember if it had been mentioned yet or not, she didn't think it had been.

Gentle breaths took in the world around me, the smell of the cream mare and her children were only a small fraction of the aromas that danced upon the winds. As she speaks, I listen politely as the last thing I would need now, is trouble. I already had one herd that was out to ring my neck, I didn’t need another one. Edge. Why did that sound so familiar to me? Someone had mentioned it to me not so long ago. I turned my head and gazed into the distance for a moment, perhaps in hopes to see his face; Note. It was he who mentioned this place only briefly when he discovered I was from the throat. After his explosive anger, our meeting was cut far too short. And I could only wonder, was he here?

A few steps advanced me closer to the mare and her children as I offered a small gentle smile. I was cautious, and unaware of the herd standings between the throat and the edge. "Forgive me, I do not mean to trespass." I spoke sternly, glancing around the lands before me in amusement. The tattered messy glass barrier seemed but a useless ruin standing between the outside world, and those that inhabit the Edge. Crystal pools glanced once more upon the face of the mare and her children as she began introduction. Brisa. Aeolus. Levex. Names noted as ivory lips curved into a relaxed warm smile.

I said nothing however and just watched silently as the young foals remained rather hidden behind their dam. "Such lovely little ones." I complemented to their pronounced beauty; deep down I had always admired foals and their bonded mothers. It was eventually my duty to become a mother, but that’s in the far off future. Her following question struck me kind of odd- but it wasn’t her fault to assume me new, given I wasn’t sure where I was standing. "I hail from Dragons Throat, or did.." I lingered on the last bit of whispers that escaped my lips as I turned to gaze into the deserts direction.

Maybe I had made a dire mistake, I can’t just.. leave.

"My name is Morana, I was just… exploring." I breathed softly, shifting bleached legs among the tall grasses that tickled them. Sweat coated my body, and I could only imagine how rough I looked to them poor babies. And then it occurred to me, Note. I wonder if the white lady had known him? Does he reside here? Almost unable to keep my excitement contained I blurted out in question of the beast. "Worlds Edge, is it? Do you know a Pegasus stallion by the name of Note?" My tone was soft, curious and eager to hear an answer from her. Why did I want to see him again so badly?

Why, to make sure he was ok of course.

Morana

Aeolus was quite a character in all his attempted braveness. When her gaze again turned to them she chuckled softly as she observed the hesitant steps being made towards the mare, who was now known to them as Morana. Levex was still unsure about the whole situation so he had hung back for a couple moments before he realized his brother was not by his side any longer. Shuffling sideways to once again become glued to Aeolus he half tripped over his own long legs catching himself only in time to avoid his brother as he shot backwards spooked by the sudden noises of movement behind him. The pair of them reminded her of the young rabbits who had just started wandering outside their burrows. Should so much as a peep be heard elsewhere they were gone like a shot running for cover only to realize a second later that they are over reacting.

There had been a time in her life where she had been just as timid and reactive to every little sound, but thankfully she had begun to overcome it. While she still had a long way to go in the process she felt already as if there was a major difference that had occurred. "No harm done." she said finally replying to Morana's most recent lyrics. " It can be difficult to figure out where one land starts and another ends." Hearing the praise offered to her babies a smile turned her lips up in gratitude.

As she continued to listen to the words spoken she began to wonder what Morana meant by used to hail from the Dragon's Throat. Had she been banished from their lands? Did she just leave on her own free will? Surely she would hope that it had been on her own choice, was this why she had come this far? Choosing rather to not voice these questions aloud she tried to sweep them away for a later conversation perhaps. The final question surprised her as Note was mentioned. She would like to know the answer herself as a matter of fact, how dare he just leave as he did. " He lives here, or well I think he still does." She commented a little sharper than she had intended.

It was not Morana's fault that Note had seemed to just drop off the face of this earth there was no reason to let her anger out on her. " I have not seen him around here in the last number of months i'm afraid. If you happen to come across him again by chance you can tell him I am looking for him. Note is actually the sire of these two but I have not heard or seen him since the one night we shared together. He does not even know the outcome of that night as he disappeared shortly afterwards." Softening her tone considerably a mixture of anger and sorrow flashed through her heart making it ache. Maybe he had always planned to leave like this and she was just the stupid moron who fell for him.

Letting her gaze fall to the earth below for a couple moments as she collected her thoughts only to stuff them back down into the jar and seal it shut once more. Shaking off the topic she managed a small smile again as she lifted her gaze once more to be polite. " If you need a place to stay I would be more than happy to show you around the Edge. Only if you wanted of course. I doubt there would be any problems should you wish to stay longer with us here." She offered graciously. Regardless of the circumstances that caused Morana to leave her home, the least she could do was to offer her the chance to stay here. She would need to approve it with Kahlua and Kaj before a final decision was made but she could not see a reason they would turn her away.

Graced with her blessing and forgiveness for crossing into the borders of a forged landscape I remained firm in my stance as I gazed upon the approaching foals. Innocence was so sweet and savory, and more often than not it was taken away far too soon. Tiara, carved in blotches of ivory gave a delicate bob to the mare in recognition. Indeed it was difficult to tell where one land ended, and one began; the throat was not this blended however; going from a heated desert to the land of green was very drastic and beautiful. The short silence between us was filled with amusement of watching the children emerge from their mother’s backside. Their curious steps made me flutter with envy, to be so young and careless; to not know the difference in good and evil. I sighed faintly, returning baby blues upon the alabaster mare, her features changing as the tone spilled from her lips. Cupped lobes perked to the hopes she had been waiting for- the seductive Pegasus did reside here, or did.

I’m sure my expression remained rather blank, but my eyes tingled with curiosity, was this mare the love he had spoken of, surely not as to his mention she lived in the throat. Her following statement intrigued me somewhat, and made me wonder how my one night with him on that cold beach within his warm caress would have gone. The poor thing, knocked up and abandoned, but by such a kind gentle creature; or was I sorely mistake for Note being a night predator? It was obvious she had some emotion for the Pegasus, but I didn’t feel sorry for her; but the children. I pried my eyes from her angered pools, and gazed upon the youth in all their beauty. At least the shire had gifted her with such a prize, both healthy and stunning. I returned, to look upon the alabaster mare and offered a smile of comfort; oddly thankful nothing between her and the stallion happened that night.

"I only met him momentarily in late winter." I spoke in assurance; perhaps she had seen him after their meeting? "Should I find him again, I will nudge him in your direction." I finished, taking a step closer to the delicate babes that stood between us. One day, I would have a child- or two. Just not yet; one a stallion worthy of his loins.. Hector. Now that was a champion. As the kind mare Brisa, offered to give an escort around the Edge, a smile tugged upon my lips. It would be nice, to have a friend somewhere; and perhaps upon their walk they could get to know one another better. "I would love a preview of your beautiful home. As it’s getting late, would your leadership mind me resting here for the night?" I inquired, and walked closer to the mare, muzzle extending to her in a gesture of thanks, and acceptance of the warm welcome.

Morana

Still mentally in a foul mood thanks to Note once again occupying her thoughts the grey was determined not to let it spill over into her visualized mood. There had been many times that she had done this in the past so it was not as difficult as it once was, simply like slipping a mask in place to completely hide the pain written across her face. Life was simply a game of charades, you either prevailed or you foundered into oblivion.

Her expression softened to banish the anger that had once pooled there as she gazed upon the painted mare before her. Morana was a very pretty mare with what seemed to be a good head upon her shoulders, hopefully she would be smart enough not to fall for someone like she had. Then again she had once thought herself smart enough but Note had proven to her that she was the same sucker that she had been the first time. Why was it so hard to ask that a stallion be faithful to their words and true to their hearts? The gods sure made a mistake somewhere in the whole male creation process, they had forgotten to instill them with even an ounce of responsibility. Either that or they wound up losing it somewhere between a yearling and maturity when they walked into stupidville for lessons on how to be a stallion.

One thing that she was sure about, her colts would not be allowed to forget this piece of information as they aged. They needed to understand the differences between right and wrong and she was going to make sure it was never ever forgotten. Twitching her ears to attention as Morana's words hit her again a small smirk dawned. " Much appreciated." She commented lightly with a small nod.

"I highly doubt they would mind in the slightest. We may even run into them on a brief tour. You have nothing to worry about while you are here." At the mention of a tour she could sense both Aeolus and Levex staring at her with anticipation. A tour meant going somewhere and going somewhere meant they could explore, did they never tire of this she wondered silently. Aeolus took a few hesitant steps over to Morana before stopping to stare up at her with bright inquisitive eyes. " What's tat?" he commented gently motioning towards the amulet around the painted mares neck. You could tell the temptation to reach out and touch it was bugging him but she could only chuckle at his restraint. At least he was trying to be polite she thought with a slight shrug.
