Smoke the Wild Rose

It had been some time since the Sun God had charged her with the task
of speaking to Ra and finding something in common with the Sun's
Emissary... and the task had turned out more difficult than she'd
anticipated. While she had briefly encountered the strange stallion,
it had not been a long enough meeting to satisfy the quest, and since
she had hadn't seen hide nor hair of Ra.

So she was back at the mountain, the Veins of the Gods, to seek out
the Sun God again. Her pace was an easy trot, the path more easily
followed than before due to familiarity, and it was not long before
Smoke found herself before the trio of shrines once more. Turning
toward the Sun's, she lashed her tail restively, body shadowed by the
circling dragon above her.

"Sun God, I need to speak with you. The quest you set me before I
cannot finish, for your Emissary had gone missing as far as I can
tell."

Light begins to envelope the place in which Smoke was standing. Every
surface takes on a glimmering sheen, illuminating the small island
with the intensity of the bright sun. When pupils adjust slightly to
the intense light, a golden figure appears amidst it. The delicate
features of the slender god look terse, as though he is irritated with
something.

"Disappeared?" he scoffs, sounding irritated more than his radiant
face gave away. "My apologies, Smoke. I did not intend to send you on
an empty quest." Brows furrowed in disappointment of his missing
emissary, who reflected badly on his supposed beloved God. The Sun God
could recover in the eyes of Smoke. He had faith in his abilities.

Replacing the look of disapproval on his face with a glimmering smile,
the God switches over to his charming side. "I shall offer you an
alternative quest. Should my missing emissary turn up, you may abandon
this for your original quest or continue on."

"For smoke that will create both healing and dangerous properties, I
require a similar substance. Bring me the horn of a unicorn who holds
magic, and I will grant you such a wish."

It was all Smoke could do to not smile her amusement at another
dramatic appearance from this Sun God, even as she blinked away the
effects of the near blinding glow. Stallions with power and a love of
it were generally the same. Flashy and confident, just like this
fellow. But again he seemed nice enough, apologizing for the
dead-ended quest and offering her another.

White-edged ears quirked forward as he elaborated on this new quest,
and now she did smile. Bring him the horn of a unicorn that has magic?
It sounded easy enough. And she sensed an opportunity to do something
not quite as he'd intended her to do, but still fulfilling his wishes
and thus her own. "I believe I can do that, sir. Until next time,
then?" Dark head was bowed politely even as Zaffre chirruped his
agreement, and then the grulla mare turned and walked back down the
path. Now to find a qualifying unicorn...

A seemingly gentle smile forms on the lips of the God. She accepted
his offer without the slightest hint of hesitation. Judging by her
calm, gentle presence, he had a feeling she would not turn toward the
obvious violence he had hoped. Perhaps his sister would win out, but
that didn't mean Smoke would find her task so easy.

The unicorns were a suspicious bunch these days. "I will leave you to
it, then, Smoke," he says, another charming smile of beaming light.
Within the blink of an eye, the figure disappears, and with it, the
traces of glorious light slowly dissipate and stop. The only sign that
the Sun God had truly been standing before Smoke was a thin layer of
glimmering liquid upon the ground.
