Early in the morning, some strange exodus drew Kipling’s attention. The air prickled with an electric festive feeling, and the colt rose to follow the parade, as if drawn by an invisible magnetic force. The chestnut child did not try to be stealthy or remain unnoticed, but he did not feel the need to draw any particular attention to himself. With everyone wrapped up in their own thoughts and feelings, a rather plain unicorn hardly seemed out of place enough to warrant any notice. Maybe I could have been a spy like Essetia after all… As he thought it, he stumbled on a crack in the lava and fell abruptly forward and had to scramble to keep his hooves beneath him. He jerked his head up to act as a counterbalance and shook it confusedly. “Oops.” And then the ground changed beneath him, and then he was… He was flying? He froze, staring at the sky that he rocketed past. A fine dew from the clouds beaded delicately on the tips of his fur, and as Kipling realized what was happening, he exploded into a fit of stunned laughter. Before he could consider the situation any further, he was dumped unceremoniously into a grassy field, landing hard on his knees. It was quiet. Kipling picked himself up onto his feet and looked around quizically. A few weeks ago he might have questioned an unplanned elevator ride into the sky, but as he had learned his way around Helovia, he began to accept that he had plenty of novel experiences ahead of him in this land. He shrugged to himself before finally sighting the crowd around the tree and heading in their direction. Kipling slipped through the crowd until he had made his way to the front. His jaw slackened as he saw none other than a giant turtle commanding the group’s attention. “Just like Ophelia said!” He chirped excitedly, recalling his conversation with the Lady of the Aurora Basin back in the Threshold. The bells jingled in time with the colt’s quickening heartbeat. “Amazing,” He finally gasped, staring up to the top of the cheerily twinkling tree, “Just amazing.” OOC: Merry freaking Christmas lovelies! <3 |
