Soft footfalls in tandem with her own alerted the mare to the presence of another equine- and had she only been listening, she would not have been able to tell that there was more than one horse approaching, as the brothers moved step by step, each hoof touching the ground in a synchronized motion. She recognized them and felt a dark, secret flare of pleasure through her chest and abdomen; she had noticed them at the meeting and had had her eyes on them. While nearly identical, she had wondered exactly how alike they were, if they were both stony guardians or if they possessed spirits which differed. Nevertheless, they moved together perfectly, and Couth felt herself all the more drawn to both studs.


She arched her neck and tossed her mane as they approached, obviously driven to join in the dance in the light of the moon. Now that she was joined by the two studs, she felt obliged to make herself look all the more radiant and beautiful; she wanted to impress the studs with her catlike agility and grace, to draw them into her web. Simply put, Couth was Moondrunk; and what a beautiful way to feel, oblivious to everything else except for the need to dance and the glint of moonlight on the silky black hides of her two dance partners...


It was only when they began to move in separate patterns that she began to see individual characters emerge from the pair. The one whose forelegs were wrapped in flames of red- Madyrn, she recalled- reared and struck out, a show of passion and power, of strength and grace. His brother, Maskan, however, wheeled and swerved, twirling and weaving like a cloud of smoke. Together, without speaking a word, Couth understood who they were at heart, simply by their dance- they were flame and smoke, the essence of fire and beauty, power and grace. And they were there with her, dancing on either side of her as she whirled, reared, leapt and weaved; they moved together, the three, bound by some choreography that had been threaded into their bloodlines long ago.


Between the two dark steeds she pivoted, twirled, bowed and reached into the sky, watching each stud and catching a glimpse of their bright, sun-coloured eyes whenever she could. When they came close enough the wraith opened her dragon-like wings so that they arched high above her, but she lowered them just as both brothers passed by her flanks, trailing the tip of her wings along each spine; she shuddered as she felt the warmth rising from each stallion. Still matching step for step, she threw her head back to gaze at the moon and, with a soft exhale, closed her eyes and simply danced.
