T With the heat distorting the horizon and burning at his nostrils, Toulouse pressed on from the Thistle meadow until the green grass became gold, and the dirt turned to sand. He wished he could hear the wind - something other than his own labouring breaths and fatigued footfalls. The air was far too still, the heat far too petulant. This heart better be worth the trip. Hooves dug like nails into the dunes as he clambered to the top of a sand-covered hill, the fields of raw, sunburnt grass soon to give way to an expanse of a rocky mess. The fire pit was what truly caught his gaze and held it like a snare, it's crater and mouth more fearsome than the jaws of any predator he'd encountered. So of course, he stepped forth and approached. Son his feet clopped upon the stone slab that provided the plateau and edge to the ferocious pit below, His pale eyes gazing below with a strange kind of lust for the power it beheld. It was only a few moments later that his sights found a peculiar figure sprawled over the searing rocks; a cheetah, composed of nothing but flame. Curling his nostrils at the sight, Toulouse turned upon his haunches and began to approach. If this was one of Kaos's tricks he knew to be wary, though, if this was but another episode of spiders and ant queens he would most likely turn tail. "What are you?" the man grumbled, eyeing the big cat with a questionable gaze. Hi!

His journey through Helovia had turned more into an adventure than anything, with each corner more wonderful, more varied and altogether more dangerous. Reich had found that he had enjoyed the Basin, despite the cold, and would possibly return soon - mayhap with @Toulouse in tow. Reich felt quite buoyant that the pale skinned serpent might choose to travel with him, for though he preferred to travel alone, there was nothing quite like laying around a smouldering fire and staring at the stars. Toulouse was also an excellent conversationalist, almost too good, considering his intelligence seemed to run circles around Reich's own. As the mahogany man travelled, he hummed, his baritone voice low, even and beautiful, lingering in the air around him as if made of something heavier than sound. The jingle of his coins and the thud of his hooves joined the melody, moving with him toward the strange cave system he had been aiming for. He'd heard of the caves and their ethereal quality - and a fire pit, something that had set his hooves dancing on their methodical way. As he approached he first saw the bewitching glow of flame, and then a familiar silhouette that set a huge grin upon his handsome, rugged face. He drew a quick breath, about to call out to Toulouse when his wandered and his jaw grew slack. A cheetah - made of flame. Would the wonders of Helovia never cease? His approach had paused at the odd sight, and now they resumed, the sound of his hooves seeming to echo on the stone as he drew quietly alongside Toulouse. He glanced at the handsome man beside him, raising his brows half in question and half in a conspiring and silent "what have we here?" In an effort not to be rude, he tried not to stare for too long as he said: "I'll second that question." His tone was jovial, though truthfully he was lost within the celestial vision before him.

Magic.
Amaris danced with it this day, the magic she was born with, the magic that summoned sprites of light and fire, souls from the otherland, red dragons who flit and flicker about the morning rays that enlighten the entrance of the Heart Caves. Fire has always been a part of Amaris, and she suspected that it always would be - despite being born to the Edge, and to the extremely devout former Queen of the Edge, fire simply flowed through her veins. Because you are dragon, the warm rumble sounded in her mind, as her beloved king interjected on her dance to comment idly on the trickle of thoughts dancing through her currently unconcerned mind. Dramyrth was nothing if not an expert at picking and choosing when to comment on such thoughts that he felt from his bonded, his humour usually dry and somewhat dark compared to Amaris'. But that was life - without the dark, there was no light, and so Amaris felt she had attained something her mother always strove to hold - balance. With a smile on her lips and laughter in her heart, she continued on her way around the lands of Helovia's Heart, recalling stories and memories of how it as before it was the Heart Caves, with its many rooms and mysterious passageways. It is with some surprise that she finds others awake and exploring this early - but then her surprise is allayed as she sees the reason for it. Magic, always magic. Power, Dramyrth hummed, huffing a puff of smoke and icy frost in turn, demonstrating just what he thought of power, and its usefulness. The dragonmare heard the questions that the stallions before her posed - she was yet to see the fire-creature they were staring at, she merely thought the greater flames rising from the Heart signified the presence of magic. But Dramyrth, bold as he was, flew straight over the others' heads to inspect it for himself, with Amaris following a slightly more curved, and grounded, route around the gathered, to allow her eyes to settle on the strange fire-feline. The red spirits that frolicked and danced with her darted forward as well, scrutinising and curiously divining their own thoughts, before all three dragons returned to Amaris and settled upon her back - Dramyrth, very much heavy and weighted, settled upon her withers, while the two reds perched in their strange, warm yet weightless way upon her rump. "Is there something you need?" she asked, ever the servant of others, genuinely curious to know this creature's reason for existing. -- Seeking: Magic: Fire x Light | (U) Able to summon 3 small dragon spirits, or 1 royal dragon spirit.

Play the music low,
So, the big bowl of fire might have bit Pip’s stomach with its reach, but that fact alone had done little to divert the babe’s attention from its existence. Surely, this was why her sire had never allowed their ventures to pass through the red sands, knowing that his daughter was more keen an adventurer than her dulcet demeanor often let on. The visage of the great, natural spectacle had clung to the fringes of her thoughts, to such a degree that, in a matter of days after leaving the pony warrior at this very locale, she has returned.and sway to the rhythm of love; Her pouch of healing leaves is again restored, though this time in a more hurried fashion than the last; rather than fragrant sage and flower leaves, she’s chosen much more humble birch and oak leaves for this adventure, and, also unlike her previous potpourri pouch of materials, much more recently gathered. That simple brown thing bounces against her breast as she arrives among the group already here, her pale green eyes narrowing contemptuously at only one among the party. Toulouse, the Ant Queen murderer! That he had been pivotal in saving her mother’s life was the only reason she didn’t blatantly spit at his hooves. There are others here, however, and so her expression softens, roving from the contemptuous, slender man to a strong, warrior-like pegasus. The men ask questions, which make the filly giggle (always so serious, the adults, worrying about everything when, maybe, the fire cheetah was just magic, and they were being lumps on a log for nothing), while Amaris, the dragon woman Maude had met alongside a fairy, asks a more open minded question. Its towards the imposing, scaled female that the filly meanders, having such disgust in her heart for Toulouse’s prior actions that she cannot bare to be near to him, and, though she is sure the big, buff looking fellow is nice, she also doesn’t know him. Not that she really knows Amaris, either… "They all think its something other than just a fire cheetah," whispers the maiden to her new friend, the golden dragon, with another small giggle to show just how foolish she thinks they are both being; lifting her voice as she continues, she believes she has the best question of all, a rather serious scowl marking her otherwise youthful face, "and that something you need isn’t going to cost someone else their vitality, is it?" Because she certainly won’t be duped into appeasing a bunch of gluttonous jerks again, as she had with the spiders.

ask no questions Summer in this joint is blistering. Or Tallsun, as they call it here. The only place this hot back in her old home was the Desert. She’s rather pleased that she calls the Basin home, where the heat isn’t damn miserable. There’d be winter or Frostfall or whatever it’s called to content with, but she’s pretty sure she prefers being cold to hot. She did grow up in forests and mountains, so she’s more used to that. - weaver - and you'll be told no lies Please tag in all posts Magic use/power playing is okay, but check before serious injury/death Image by AmoretteRose

yael Yael loves the views from on high; though her presence is easily advertised on sun-filled days, she does not mind being seen riding the thermals above Helovia. Today, in the height of summer, when that blazing ball of fire burns hot and sucks water from the plants just as readily as it gives energy, something just as bright burns down below. Flames catch her attention, causing the aurelian, glinting pegasus to fall into a rapid dive. But as she grows closer, she notes that there is neither ash nor smoke, and therefore, it is not… ‘normal’ fire. trust your heart if the seas catch fire live by love, though the stars walk backwards Yael is seeking [Magic: Fire | Can automatically regulate her body temperature in order to stay warm in cold weather] [Restrictions: Of no use in battle] Prior Refusal: One Please only tag in starter posts, or if the thread is getting dusty Force and magic allowed, no death please

Play the music low,
Miss Tandavi’s words make Maude’s heart sink, the memory of the day the Ant Queen had died for the love of her colony rising to mind with full clarity. It strikes within her such sorrow still that she does not manage to answer the healer’s initial question until she has continued. Her words further deepen a love for the chestnut in the heart of the ginger kissed cremello, and the pale green eyed doe looks to the her herd mate, bolstered by a shared opinion, when she can at last muster a reply through her emotional recollection of the event.and sway to the rhythm of love; "Not today," she answers, her voice wavering at first, though it regains hope and vivacity the more she opens up, "but before. I will not be blind again, though. We’ll make sure everyone stays safe, right Miss Tandavi?" Soon, however, a familiar voice chimes out her name, and the girl steps away from the older mares to linger in a more age appropriate group. Cheerfully and gently bumping the star-flecked filly with her ruddy nose in greeting, Maude looks back over at the cheetah, her growing, rippling white tail swishing about her hocks as she ponders. "Hey Vesper!" she chirrups, finishing what she says next with a giggle, "maybe from the big fire? Maybe it’s where the Sun God keeps all his pets." Her happiness soon becomes worry, however, as the cheetah begins to move, and something happens. What do you want with fire, anyway? replays in her mind, as the earth blooms with buds of flame beneath her; though she hadn’t understood what Tilney had been so wary of, then, suddenly, watching it all spread across the ground, she knew why her father had been so cautious when broaching the topic of making fire with his curious daughter. "Oh, this is bad!" she exclaims, stamping one of her small hooves down on a nearby tongue of flame, and looking fretfully towards her young herd-mate, "ouch! What do we do, Vesper?!" Though she has a watering can in one of her pockets, she hasn’t any water; what good would a single can do against all these flames, anyway? Beginning to panic, though mere seconds have passed, she looks toward the river woefully, knowing with a glance that she is not fast enough to make it there and back with enough speed to be of use. Procuring her can, anyway, she offers it to anyone with longer, faster legs who will take it, while dancing about, trying to stamp out the fire despite the pain it causes her before it can spread. "Someone, here, take this and fill it up! Ouch (stupid fire); oh, please don’t break it!" [ OOC: Maude offers her watering can to anyone who is fast enough to make it back and forth from the river enough times to be of help. Otherwise, she tries to step on the fire to keep it from spreading. ] Seeking: Wind x Light :: Generates a shining whirlwind about herself which resists physical damage.

Many came, as was to be expected at these occasions. The dragonmare wanted to sigh, to shake her head and wander away from it all - but even she was not immune to the pull, the draw, the magnetic temptation to see more, learn more, want more from what this curious creature might offer.
The dragonmare smiled at the filly she had met in the Meadow previously, offering a gentle touch of her maw to the girl's if she so desired in greeting. On her other aide, Astarot was proffered a nod, while her cousin a quiet purr - it seemed she had made some fast friends since her arrival back in Helovia, something she was quietly pleased about - for one so used to being alone, friendship was something that she treasured. At Tandavi's words, she could only nod, and offered a sad smile as Maude responded. Amaris did not recognise any of the others present, though some certainly hailed from the World's Edge - in time, she hoped silently to her companion, we might know them all. The magic that kept the red spirit-dragons present dissipated as the dragonmare's attention was drawn to small spouts of flames appearing beneath people's feet. Swiftly, she leaped backwards (much like a cat getting a fright), which in turn launched Dramyrth into the air (with a grumble, naturally). Though Amaris wasn't necessarily afraid of fire (she was half-dragon, after all), it did take her by surprise. Without delay, Dramyrth swooped in close to extinguish what he could with his icy breath, while the dragonmare swept her long tail over any remaining flames in an attempt to sweep them out of existence. At Maude's shout, she looked around - when did the girl leave her side?! - Dramyrth flew over to her and her young friend, ignoring the container the girl was offering and instead attempted to blow his frosty breath upon the flame-licked ground near the yearlings. He did his best to avoid breathing upon the girls themselves, though with all the movement and dancing around, it wasn't an easy task. -- Amaris' companion uses his frost breath to try and put her flames out while Amaris uses her tail. Dramyrth then goes to help @Maude and @Vesper because he heard Maude's shout (Maude and Vesper welcome to PP Dramyrth's frost breath as needed if they want).

A "Stand your ground!" The former specter boomed to those gathered, sharp eyes peering to those gathered, landing for a few moments on Reichenbach with a passive, blank look of hidden emotion. Don't you get hurt; Perhaps that was what he wished to tell him. "Do not harm the animal!" was his next growl, backing up in the sand to get a greater view of the situation. He had learned from last time that simply attacking was never a good idea; and besides, this thing wasn't exactly aggressive... just entirely inconvenient. Little Maude, the sneering doctors daughter who for whatever reason chose to hate him, offered her dainty watering can to aid. It was a good idea, though Toulouse wasn't quite sure he could run there and back fast enough. Was there not anyone with wings, or a bonded companion with wings who could make the journey, or would it be much too heavy? Such complex thinking was wasting too much time, so without much further thought, Toulouse galloped past the girl who hated him so and wrenched the watering can from her chops. "I won't break it!" He cheered back to her through a mouthful of glass, galloping with all the speed of a desert born horse towards the closest source of water. Hi!

It hadn't taken long for a crowd to gather, and whilst Reichenbach was gazing about him at all of the collected acquaintances and strangers, he was alarmed to see the ground igniting. The fiery cheetah seemed unaffected by the fire, his expression more curious than anything. Sizeable chunks of flame had appeared underneath Reich - instantly setting him into action. He had been born and raised in desert heat, so the sting and burn of flames was a familiar sensation - if not exactly the same as burning sands. In one quick glance he gathered what others were doing, pausing for a moment to watch Toulouse gallop toward the water with the dainty girls watering can. Instead of heading toward the water, he leaped toward where the grasses turned long and wavering, using his large hooves to dig up the earth, tugging out tufts of flammable grass and leaving a bare, dirt track of about a metre. The fire break was something he had experience in building - if the flames weren't too big, the wide length of dirt would stop them in their tracks. Fire didn't feed on dirt. Sweat began to build and glisten on his dark coat, dampening the hair at the base of his neck as he worked. Reich could feel the strain in his muscles as he hastened to lengthen the track, calling out "Those that aren't using water to put out the flames, build a fire break! The earth should stop the fire before it gets too out of control!" His baritone voice rang out easily over the gathered group, though Reich wasn't sure whether those gathered would recognise the strategy - or his authority.

ask no questions Wessex joins her, and she can’t say she’s surprised. The other Corporal is often out and about keeping busy, at least as far as Weaver thinks. Besides, happenings always seem to draw a crowd. It’s like a sixth sense maybe, your body just sending you the way of the event. The promise of power is a strong thing, greed a beautiful mistress. Weaver offers her a nod, not entirely sure the other mare will see her given their difference in height. Though Weaver is getting used to be the short one around.
