LOST IN THE WAY YOU MOVE.

I stood there in awe as the number of creatures surrounding the flaming flowers grew larger than I had ever imagined, as I watched the Sun God reject one of the hopefuls by burning their knees with a hot wind I grew uneasy for a moment or two. I didn't want to get burned, I didn't want to get injured to the point that Papa Ruske and Momma Eva would keep me under a tight leash and my adventures of sneaking out of the Edge would be forever ended. My life would be that of a hermits, friends would be a distant dream that couldn't be reached by my slender neck no matter how hard I tried. It was a sad thought, but it seemed that my presence would be permitted in by the God for the day.
My white pupiled eyes pulled away from the bright burning flowers for a moment to watch the rest of the crowd pull in, one of the faces standing out more than the others. That of the dark colt who had been able to walk on water that day at the beach, I wondered silently if he still remembered me, the girl who could summon flames beneath her infantile wings, a magic so meek and redundant compared to one that could walk on water as he could. What was he doing here? So far away from the icy grasps of his homeland, what did he need from one so powerful as a God if he could already preform quite godly acts?
It was the breathtakingly deep voice of the flaming stallion that brought my attention back to the finer things in life. Like the fact that I was standing before a god, gawking at the flowers that had sprung up to meet him as he appeared from the heavens. ~~"They are indeed. As are you, child."~~ A wave of heat reached at my cheekbones as the stallion's words settled into my forward pricked harks. He thought I was beautiful? Me? The bastard daughter of Aurelia and a stallion who all I had been told about was "nasty drunk", was beautiful in a god's eyes? Surely he was just being polite, but it seemed that this god was anything but polite as he insulted some and pushed others away without a second glance. It was all quite clear that I was meant to stay for at least a few more moments. "Th-thank you sir!!" I exclaimed as a bright smile spread across my gold dusted features. The stallion's attention was then taken away from me as he carried on to speak to others before addressing the crowd of us.
"You are all aware of the power of the Sun. Were you not, you would not have come here. Even those of you who do not know what it is you seek from me, have still come - because you know it is only I who can grant what your soul yearns for. But my gifts are only for the worthy - the cleverest and best of you. And who that is, remains to be seen...These flowers require nourishment. Water. Bring me water from a mirage in these Fields." I was stumped as the god told us the quest he wished us to fit fill before he would continue to speak or give us the pleasure of his company. How was I supposed to bring water to these beautiful flowers from something that didn't even exist? As I mulled over the possibilites, the grey and gold stallion spoke up, telling the god that he would not be joining in on our games before continuing on as if he were talking to an old friend and not a god. But it was the brightly colored mare that caught my attention as her bright plumage pulled her away from the ground and in the direction of the image of water.
Her path didn't last long though, as rather than flying directly towards the non-existent water, the bright bird ended up darting around as if she were trying to maneuver something. Curiousity got the better of my young mind as my gold painted limbs carried me over towards the brightly colored mare a soft smile painted across my features as I looked up at her. For a moment I thought about speaking to the mare, asking her if it were okay that I helped her out in her mission, having a body on the ground would be just as helpful as having one in the air right? But something told me that asking would be a waste of time and it would be better instead to just do. I looked up at her for a second longer before adjusting the angle of my skull so I could see the mirages rather than the underside of the bright bird.
It seemed they had adjusted their positions since I had moved away from the god, which led me to wonder if they would move every time I moved. Excitement flashed through my veins as I turned back around to face the flowers only to see the mirage of a river full of water being pulled closer to the roots. My limbs sprung into action, my tiny frame being flung to the side as the springs in my joints leapt, moving the river closer to the flowers' roots a happy grin across my features as I noticed that the bright bird had too moved so she remained just over me, had she been attempting to move the mirages to the flowers when I had came over to see if she needed help?
