frost fyre

It was rare for the maiden to leave her snow filled home. Twice she had left the mountains' embrace for the forest floor's cushion and the moon's adventures. But it was twice too many. She sought answers to questions of her family, but found none outside her homeland. She didn't consider the time wasted, but she considered it better spent under the auroras and amongst the snow at home, in the Basin.

Her bonded agreed, if only half-heartedly. He didn't have quite the same attachment to Helovia that she did. He sought land outside the Basin, at least. It took a few seasons, but he persuaded the maiden to leave the tundras temporarily. She was not eager to leave, but merely curious to see the changes in her home.

They traveled to the Threshold first, a land they knew well. Altair bounded ahead of the mottled maiden, who followed at a leisurely pace. So, naturally, it was the cerndyr who saw the girl first. She was a heap of cerulean and pale saffron, strewn across the forest floor, stroked delicately by the first few rays of morning light streaming through the trees. She glowed.

He had no concept of an angel, but if he did, he would have seen her as such.

Altair paused in his stride, simply standing and staring at the angelic girl till his bonded joined his side. Frost halted next to him, furrowed her brow, and wove her leonine tail around her hocks in thought. She tipped her crowned head to one side, her emerald gaze turning sympathetic when the girl rose.

The girl seemed a bit...lost.

Frost's cloven hooves carried her to the girl, a concerned gleam in her emeralds as she softly, slowly approached. The star bathed maiden's deer remained by her side, his thoughts fixated on the unusual cream and blue of the stranger. They didn't dare to get too close to her, despite her dainty exterior. But maybe it was her fragile appearance that made them linger a few lengths away, for they didn't wish to scare her, either.

"Hello?" Frost called softly, the gentle lyric followed by a reassuring smile. "Are you lost? Do you need help?" She went on, picking up a cloven hoof, but returning it to it's place, for hesitation wasn't lost on the star veiled maiden.
