I'm only alone for what seems like a few moments. Listening to the roaring blood in my ears, staring off into the snowy landscape. I hear a voice. One that I should easily recognize. As him. Mauja.

I tilt my head, shock printed on my face. What a coincidence, the king is here! Soft lips turn up into a delicate smile. I couldn't speak though. But, I had loved so many times before. I should be able to overcome the whole sweat and lump in my throat and the other affects of love. I pause, wondering if all those times that wasn't true love. Just a simple little bit of love that hadn't really bloomed into a full out love yet. I lift my head up a little higher, Mauja is now right in front of me. I want to just, say it. I love you. Would it be that hard to say? I pause, planning something out. Gotta butter him up first. Have a nice casual conversation. Tell him when the time is right.

I stare into his icy blue eyes, they seem to chill me to the bone. I finally glance down, looking more at his hooves. I open my mouth slowly, very slowly. And speak. My words are full of shock, but somehow laced with respect."Mauja.... what happened to you? You were gone so long.... Where have you been?" I'm tripping over my words, barely able to speak clearly. I look up at him, our eyes meeting. Slowly but surely Tears began to gather in my eyes, and I tried not to show it. Why do I have to choose now to have an emotional breakdown?! Couldn't I have waited till I got away from Mauja! I want to bash my head against a rock or something. I was so.. so.. stupid.

My cloven hooves dig into the ground and my deep blue eyes are set only on one thing, Mauja. He's the center of my thoughts, and he'll stay there. I would always love him, even if he didn't love me. My mind is over-run with thoughts of Mauja. He was the only thing I could think about. This longing feeling, it seemed to haunt me. You idiot! Mauja is loyal to Psyche! He's not gonna go behind her back and have a kid with you!

Ignoring my thoughts, I go back to remember the day I first met Mauja. I was in the Threshold, a sad and quite sickly looking thing. I had been at death's doorstep. But Mauja saved me. He took me to the Edge where the other unicorns resided. I met Delinne, a kind mare. I remember the Edge was invaded, and I ran. I avoided it. Wimp. My thoughts ring out. I continue with my little memory. I had remembered being so young and clueless back then. Even though it had only been a little less than a year ago that this 'invasion' had taken place. I had told everyone we should attack, get our home back. I sigh, even smile a little at the thought of that. I've matured a lot now. I glance back up at Mauja, my heart wanted him. The rest of me wanted him. Why not just go right out there and tell him? Well, you know, he only likes Lady Psyche in that way. Unless he's changed over the while I haven't seen him. I return my focus to Mauja and wait for him to speak.
