And so the invasion was lost, and with it the dappled mars spirits had sank. This world she had entered; this new land of darkness and woe, it disturbed her greatly. So far, in her short life here, she had received no happiness, only confusion ad doubt in her own life choices. Why had she allowed herself to hurt that filly, when she had vowed long before her journey here to protect those who needed it? Why had she banded with mercenaries to destroy the land she had nearly become a part of, that had invited her in? Her head hung, long tendrils wrapped in a seemingly endless trail down the center of her thick crest, trailing down her shoulder. Her forelock hung over her face, breaking the blooded tear 'V' that marred her snowy face. She would not leave the Grey, that much was certain - where else could she go, really? - yet she was unhappy. Perhaps she could find answers to her hearts dilemma out here, where the world was endlessly dark and her mind could lose itself in the clouds? Or maybe she could tire her legs out and finally get a decent nights sleep. Either way was fine, really.

A sigh escaped her lips, billowing out in a chilled steam. She longed for the warmth of the sun upon her back, and the birdsong in her audits. Slapping her banner across her hocks, her eyes found the moon - its eerie crescent grin beaming down upon her, mocking her. She scowled, shaking her head at the blinking stars, which laughed at the silver warrior. The mare let out a frustrated whinny at the moon, stamping her large, cloven hooves into the sodden earth, feeling the cold dirt ooze around her frog. "Don't mock me, lady Moon!" she begged, though she knew the Goddess would do no such thing. it was all in her head; where the titan was born, the Gods were but a faded memory. Here; they were very much alive, yet they had forsaken the land.

The moon continued its ever-presence grin and she felt her teeth bare, lips folding back in anger. An angered hoof stamped again, yet the earth did not simply sink under her strength; it rumbled.

The ground was shaking, trembling under her feet. An earthquake, maybe? Her ears pressed against her skull, but not before she heard the rippling of water close by. Confused, the mare threw her head around, trying to find a source of the rumbling earth through the darkness that gripped the meadow. As she did so, she spotted something moving; like an ethereal serpent rising into the skies, twisting and turning and forming something new. Ears relaxing from her skull, they pricked forwards and her face softened. The panic from the sudden rumbling melted from her body as she watched the display, almost deaf to the rumbling and cracking of earth around her. As she watched, the water formed the shape of a grand stallion, his body deep brown like pine wood, his horns as sturdy as rock and wings powerful and majestic. The stallion dwarfed her, his crest arched and proud. The mare could not help but be in awe - the warrior had never seen a God before, nor had she expected to witness one materializing before her. As he walked, his hooves brought life, and though the sun did not rise in his presence, he somehow made the world seem brighter. She hardly noticed the prancing colt as she watched him pass by, silently turning to walk in his shadow. Her heart hammered and her spirit raced.

Suddenly, her heartache was forgotten, distracted by the beauty of the earth itself.
