She is Elsa, leader of the threshold. Or so she was in her mind. This place was frequented above all other places, with the exception of the Falls of course. Even then, she felt more at home here, amongst those who actually needed her (most of the time). Not to mention, It was a bonus that bringing another back to the Falls did make her look a little better in the eyes of those around her. So, thus it was back to the beat again, bringing newcomers into the lands of Helovia. Whether it was with the Falls, another herd, or the life of an outcast, Helovia would eventually consume them because they were so unfortunate as to walk on this magically horrifying soil. Such an optimistic she is.

Picking up a light trot, she followed the sound of a neigh not far off. It sounded oddly bouncy for someone wandering through these woods. Usually it was a defeated sigh, or the sound of tears that drew Elsa near. Yet, here was a happy sound. How dare she be happy. Well, this girl may as well enjoy it considering that it may not last that long once inside Helovia.

Whomever it was though, continued to move. She had to follow the sound of stomping hooves until finally she caught sight of the russet unicorn. Apparently this girl had suddenly come under the realization that things were not as they seem, for her ears slicked back, and before Elsa knew it, the girl was off again. She bolted back into the light, her body moving a little too fast for Elsa's liking. This girl better be nice, considering Elsa had been tracking her all over Helovia's green forest.

Finally the girl stopped, and bedded down on the floor. Edgar, who had suddenly decided to join Elsa swooped down from the branches to perch atop her head. He wanted to know about this runner. Elsa took a few tentative steps forward, careful not to scare the girl into another goose chase. Pausing only a few feet away, she spoke. "Miss, are you alright? I've been trying to catch your attention but it seems that you've been frightened?" Both were questions, the latter Elsa assumed was already affirmative. Why else would one just.. run? Who runs for fun? Edgar hopped off her head, flapping down to land in front of Elsa before hopping over to where the girl had bedded down. He wanted her attention, for the little bird seemed to feed off of the spotlight.

Her chuckle did not ease Elsa. What had frightened her so? Helovia was not without it's evils. She may have just spotted something that could be quite dangerous, although nothing in the air reeked of danger. Thus, the attentions were then turned to Edgar. When she whispered her little hello, he hopped closer, before offering a beak-y smile followed by a squeak. Turning to face Elsa then, and satisfied with the daily dose of attention, spread his wings and flew back to the perch atop her head. His downy feathers ruffled as he settled in between her ears. It looked as if she had a crown made of fluff and bird.

Rolling her eyes at the cheeky bird Elsa turned her attention back to the mare. Poor girl was worried she had wandered onto claimed land. Quite contrary, for she was on the land of claiming. In essence, everyone was here for her. Elsa smiled, before continuing on to explain. If she just stood there with a smile on her face, she may as well be a stalker. "No, in fact, your in the Threshold. The only reason I'm here to to look for horses like you, to offer a home to." She finished with a shrug. Sometimes the most blatant answers were the best ones. "You're in the land of Helovia, so, like I just mentioned, if you would like, I can offer you residence within the Hidden Falls. If that does not interest you, you can find your way to the other herds to seek entry, or take the life of an outcast." Simple, sweet and to the point.

She flicked her tail mindlessly, pausing to allow the girl to speak. However, before she went on bringing any recruits back, it would be best to get a name. Clearing her throat once more, she spoke. "Also, what's your name? I'm Elsa, mason of the Hidden Falls." She finished decidedly. Elsa was always longwinded, and tended to drive out those who preferred the quiet life.

Elsa was immediately excited by the words of the mare. Aliyah seemed generally interested in a home. Her responses were both to the point, and full of questions. It helped too, that Helovia seemed like a familiar name to Aliyah. Maybe then her culture shock would be a little less extreme as some cases were. A small smile settled upon her face, as Elsa got down to what she did best; talking and rambling.

"The Hidden Falls is the herd just to the north. It's settled in some mountains, and filled with, would you guess, waterfalls." A clever grin settled upon her face. Sometimes a little sass made thing interesting. "Midas and Ghost are the Czar and Czarina there, our leaders basically. They trust my judgement, so I'm free to accept you in if you would like to join us there." Edgar screeched loudly from his post on her head. Might as well let Aliyah know that he'd like her presence there. She'd just be another lady whom he could fawn over. "If you do decide to follow me, when we arrive at the Falls, you have to choose a profession. As I mentioned before, I am the Mason." She paused a moment, trying to gauge the mares reaction. A job was a perk for Elsa, but some were not as inclined to work. "Mason is the head of the crafters, so if you decide to go into that, you'll be stuck with me." She shot the girl a small wink before continuing. "Or you can be a medic, sleuth, seer, or warrior. Each of those have their respective leaders who you'll have to seek out." She finished, letting out a long breath. It was a lot of information to throw out there.

Giving the mare a moment to adjust, she spoke again. "However, do know that you are free to leave at any time. Or if the Falls isn't a place you want to go, you can take an outcast life and go explore other options." Of course Elsa preferred the aforementioned choice, but it wouldn't be fair to restrict Aliyah to one choice.

Of course Edgar the Proud was even more emboldened by the fact that Alyah took the time to comment on him. He puffed his feathers, and with as much gusto as he could must, spread his wings, revealing the pale blue belly and talons. He turned his head to the side to strut, before settling back comfortably on her head. "Well, he obviously does." Elsa said offhandedly. A small chuckle followed, but she refused to give into his little whims for attention.

With anticipation, the companion and his bonded listened to the mare. They both fell oddly silent, as if them talking would ruin any chances. Thankfully, she had decided to follow. A large smile settled upon Elsa's face. It had been so long since the rush of a new recruit had been flowing through her. It was a welcome feeling, and Elsa turned and walked towards the North. "Well, lets go then!" She said enthusiastically, looking over her shoulder quickly just to make sure the unicorn was following. It wouldn't be good to leave her behind, considering she was in need of some directions.

Turning back to the North, Elsa began to think of what this mare may become. Would Aliyah be a healer? Warrior? What was she suited for? At least that answer would come soon enough. First, they just needed to make it to the Hidden Falls so she could get settled into her new surroundings. You can't expect horses to make life choices on the fly.
