Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars Something called deep within his chest as he watched the night sky, bewitched by it's never ending beauty. The stars shimmered from their lofty positions, inviting all those that gazed upon them to wonder, be awed by their ethereal presence and promise of something so much more beyond mortal bounds. Their wonder and awe provoked a slow exhale from the moon touched stallion, his own starry pelt paled in comparison to the tapestry his Moon Goddess had so tirelessly worked to weave. Her realm called to him and yet he could not soar to her, every night the twilight realm would sing it's siren song, knowing the blessing of star kissed sails to carry him into her domain were forever out of his grasp. Still he revered her, and still he would hum his praise and blessings to her with each passing day. The call hummed louder when his eyes cast their solemn gaze to one that seemed to shine brighter than the rest, singing to him with unspoken words and an invisible hand which pulled at his very heart. The smokey tendrils of starlight urging him to travel beyond the borders of his Lady's sanctuary, and to seek somewhere else to gaze upon her unmatched beauty. The lunar sentinel walked, bewitched and enthralled to the night song and this one star. What was it's purpose? Why did it call to him so? The mists of his homeland followed long after he had departed, they caressed against his hooves and snaked along his barrel, forming into all manner of creatures. Spectral avians hovered and swooped in languid circles while creatures as small as rabbits and fawns birthed from the mists at his feet. Together he and the mist moved as one, even when the soft midnight hued grasses gave way to a great mirror of stars beneath his feet. Some creatures changed and reshaped, becoming serpents that slid along the waters surface without interrupting it's glassy visage. Leonine tail swaying with slow strokes against the wet surface, casting his silver strands and long braids across the great mirror and distorting the stars from his view. Only when he caught the sight of another in the flats did he end his gazing vigil, deep pools fixating on the striped mare that invades his sight. The nights trance was temporarily broken for this visage in the night, his lady's soft song becomes one with the background but still present in his mind. He could never cast her out entirely. His movements ceased to allow the waters chance to reclaim their reflective shimmer. Alune allows himself to become part of their projections, glowing like a specter within the moonlight, with the lady's magic pooling beneath his feet and gliding leisurely around his crowned head and neck. The stars on his pelt highlighted with the stars tender embrace. "Did she call you here too?" He calls, voice like chimes upon the night wind and he motions towards the bright star in the sky. Had the star also called to this Pegasus mare? enthralled her also with her bewitching song and beckoned her forth to this sky mirror? Something deep within the sentinel's chest wanted to believe so. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "talk talk talk" |

"I have seen the movement of the sinews of the sky,
And the blood coursing in the veins of the moon."
