The dew-coated sand glimmered in the soon to arrive birdsong morning. Thick, puffy clouds trailed in formation above land and sea, fast, as if trying to quicken the pace of the arrival for the new season. A cloudy day. Strong winds were marching from the southeast along with it, already forging paths along the vertical tongues — erupting — flames from the diviners fire. The gold from Maren's eyes flickered from the fiery reflections as she stood around the holy place.
Perhaps it is the wind, she thought absentmindedly, referring to the adjustment to the height of the flames. Blowing a misty puff from her nose into the dusty air, the mare slowly let out a sigh. She turned her head, glanced over her shoulder and looked through the sandy haze. Framed by dust, it showed a white figure drawing closer — “...Perhaps it is something else,” she murmured to herself, perhaps just to fuel her wasteful thinking. Patterns of thought crossed as always, but lately things had been... dull. (Then again, what was she comparing to?) She had to find threads to knot together, fuel the fires of riddles within her mind, do with what she found to keep the waters of her mind clear and prepared. Besides, if she didn’t have something to murmur to herself about to let out that little bit of madness, how would she deserve being called a wise one?
She swallowed the morning slime that had shaped puddles around her tongue. The wings besides her ears shook, feathers puffing and stretching in the sea-breeze. She wasn’t sure if the mare that was approaching had meant to visit Maren, but she couldn't stop her interest from reaching her tongue. “Goodday to you, stranger,” she called as the cremello mare had gotten a bit closer, her pale skin shimmering around a brightly colored marking. “You look like you are heading somewhere,” the tiger mare noticed with a smile, eyes (as always) covered in their coat of silence. Her outlandish tunes perfectly hiding her nosiness that crawled her tongue. What fueled this mare that made her steps cross the sand with such determination?
