With how often the golden vixen wandered the Threshold, she might as well have named it her home. She found herself here quite often, probably due to the fact it’s the only way she really knew how to get to and fro while exploring into territory she recognized. Rexanna stuck out like a sore thumb, especially now during the freezing Frostfall weather. Snow surrounded her in every nook and cranny. Her golden features with her golden horn and chain looked almost like a highlighter on paper compared to the stark white contrast of freshly fallen snow. At least one thing was for sure, she almost always resulted in finding somebody new to meet in the Threshold. Her luck had been granted to her every time she wandered. However, luck in recruitment was something she had been suffering at. Either way, new ties and new faces were something good for her to get a grasp on. Especially being so new to Helovia herself. She faintly began to remember the spotted stag that had greeted her on her second venture to the Threshold when she came across the behemoth stag Tembovu whom she found herself missing quite fondly. Then the few other ventures out here almost seemed to be a blur.

Today was different, however. Wandering yet again, she found fresh footsteps in front of her as she followed the trail. Curious enough, she could tell it was a creature of equine origins. She wasn’t sure how fresh the trails were, though. It couldn’t seem to hurt to investigate though, could it? Her teal eyes traced the hoofsteps before her when she accidently stepped on a small twig. Cracking loudly, the mare shuddered in the echo of the silent trees. Well, so much for being quiet. A few moments after, she heard a violent shaking of what sounded to be a tree. Frantic almost, Rexanna grew a bit worried. Perhaps somebody or something was in trouble? Picking up her speed, she seemed to ignore the trails left behind and cantered in the direction of the sounds. It wasn’t far from her, thankfully. Although, upon approaching she noticed a pale mare with her horn stuck in a tree. Oh boy, that wasn’t good. She seemed quite worried as well. Rexanna approached slowly from the direction the mare had come from before making her presence known. ”Oh my goodness! Are you alright, Miss?” Her voice was soft and full of worry. Teal eyes dancing across the creature in front of her, hoping to show kindness in the ways of being able to help the mare. ”Is there anything I can do to help?” If there’s one thing she knew, getting your horn stuck in objects were the absolute worst.


Eden, Welcome to Helovia! :D If there's any questions you might have I can do my best to answer. We also do a lot of communication on Skype if that's something that you're interested in joining!

It only took a few moments before Rexanna gained her breath back from the brief stunt of exercise she had just done. Her body ached lightly due to the chill in the air and how long it had been before she had even ran like that without preparing herself beforehand. With her breath back to normal, she heard the mare’s soft yet unsure voice reach her ears. ”Sure!” Was the only thing the golden creature said before stepping closer to her, approaching the branch that had the mare caught in its grasp. Rexanna was shorter than the new mare, so it took a bit of thinking before she was able to actually find a way to reach the branch that had caught the poor creature. Lifting up on her hind legs, she steadied herself against the trunk of the tree, arching her neck up to tug on the branch that was wound around the horn of the other mare; careful to not get her own horn mixed up in the mess. After a few moments of untangling, Rexanna felt the branch give way slightly, enough for the mare’s horn to slip out of its entanglement. Rex began to shake the branch lightly, a few little twigs grasped between her teeth, to try and free the mare’s forelock as well. Hoping in success, she landed back softly to the ground with all four hooves stuck in the icy snow once again.

She took a few steps back to give the creature space before she offered her a calm smile. ”Where I’m from, horns are considered a blessing. Although often times I find them to be quite the opposite.” She offered a gentle laugh before shifting her weight, ears twitching in the silence to focus on the mare with curiosity. ”I am Rexanna. I come from the Aurora Basin just north of here.” Her voice was elegantly held and had a hint of cheer in it, hopeful that the mare would not run from her but instead pass on her name. Her teal eyes dancing across the pale mare with a curious yet gentle eye as to not frighten the mare after the already frightening incident.

Watching as the mare freed herself, Rexanna felt a bit of happiness well through her barrel. She felt content at the aspect that she had done her good karma of the day. Her eyes scanned over the mare gently as she checked herself out for wounds. Then her voice hit the golden mare’s ears with a chilly breeze, causing a like shake to go through her body. ”No need to apologize. Us unicorns need to look out for one another. Besides, I need all the exercise I can get.” Rexanna emitted a soft laugh that seemed to mimic a chime. As the mare began to speak again, Rexanna dipped her head in a bow to say hello. ”It’s a pleasure Eden. Welcome to Helovia. This is the Threshold, it’s the first taste of this land. I do hope it’s been pleasant. Winter can be harsh.” As for winters in the Helovia, this was the first one that Rex had the pleasure of experiencing. She remembered the saying from Thranduil at the meeting of how winters can be harsh, and she truly trusted the golden stags words when it came to experiences in Helovia.

Either way, the mare pondered the idea of Eden speaking of being an outcast. Her eyes glancing from the trees that surrounded them and the stillness in the air to land on the pale mare once more. ”If you’re in the market for a home much like our kind, I can say that the Basin would suit that.” Her voice was soft and gentle, doing her best to keep a calm and serene atmosphere for the event that occurred not too long ago. If there was something this mare looked like she needed, it was rest. Rexanna had some hope billowing in the back of her mind that maybe this pale vixen would want to come home with her and become one with her herd. ”It is quite chilly, as it resides North of here. However, I can say that it is the most breathtaking of scenery I have yet to set eyes on. We even have large sentinels that protect us all from trespassers, so if you get worried like I do about unwanted visitors, you can rest assured that the Basin will have you protected.” Rexanna spoke with a calm understanding of her home. She had visited it and wandered it enough times to know that if there was one place she felt most comforted, it was definitely in the land of the Basin.

As Rexanna’s wall of words had passed, silence took over the Threshold for mere moments. Her eyes watched the mare curiously but trailed off to other objects so she wouldn’t be staring. The golden chain wriggling around with each movement, light from overhead glinting with the somber light from overhead. When she heard Eden speak was when her eyes found their way back to the pale mare before her. Taking a mental note that perhaps part of the reason the mare wasn’t threatened by her was due to her size and her help in seeming to rescue the mare. Rex offered her a nod, catching her golden eyes with hers. Her own teal eyes held a smile to them, enchanting and kind that resembled the smile that was placed gently upon her maw. As she asked about if she would be welcome, Rex honestly didn’t have a doubt that she would be. She was horned, and if there was something the Basin definitely allowed, that was unicorns.

Rexanna gently took a step forward and angled herself a bit more north as if to continue the path. ”Of course. I don’t see why you wouldn’t be. We could travel up there and you can get a feel for the area, even meet our Lords of the Basin and you can decide then if it’s where you wish to reside.” Her smile continued to be gentle. ”There is much to learn about Helovia, but I’ve found it to be much easier when you have family with you.” She offered a nod. Family was something she hadn’t had in quite some time. But it felt to her as though the Basin could be considered her family, all of the creatures that inhabited it. She knew that if it was family and a thriving lifestyle that this pale mare craved, her home would be the one to offer it. Although she couldn’t help but to feel a bit of pride growing in her stomach at the fact that she was able to recruit someone. That someone actually wanted to return with her. Her happiness grew in a bit more of a comforting way.
