The world seemed topsy turvy as viewed through vibrant gold eyes. What made sense to Priscilla was possibly seen as nonsense to others. But what others viewed was entirely different from what she saw. It was all new and unfamiliar, yet interesting all in the same. The mare had wandered into these lands by chance really. As she wandered into many others before. Though something drew her to this particular place.
For what reason she wasn't quite too sure about.
And so as she moved across the plains Priscilla watched unfamiliar faces pass her by. Giving them an airy smile before continuing on her way. Her feathers bobbing along with her head and her ribbon tied tail swaying back and forth in an almost care free manner.
Though it wasn't long until she finally found herself walking along a small path surrounded by trees. They were thick and hard to see through their numbers, even though many had dropped autumn colored leaves. Their trunks were so close together in some places they seemed like good hiding places anyway.
Suddenly she stopped. Turning her head towards one of the trees and giving it a curious look before moving close to it. Standing there near the end of the path that had opened up into a wide spread field. Her ears twisting this way and that as she leaned her head in a bit closer. And abruptly pulling it back. "Hmm? What? Oh ok." Priscilla continued to stand there idly, as if waiting for something. Her eyes opening and closing every so often. The mare's head lowering before jerking upright again. As if she were on the verge of falling asleep.

His mother likely at their teepee, or perhaps by the water or with father, Silvera was content in walking through the woods weaving between trees when he could as he stepped out onto a path on silent white and black hooves. Long white hair shimmered like white pearls, like the ones in his hair which glowed.
With a few golden leaves caught in his hair in various places, including where his air dragged along the ground, pale eyes caught sight of something from out of the corner of their view. Turning his head rather quickly his eyes landed on...a feather topped mare with what appeared to be lace about her neck.
Standing there watching, his long tail flickered with much difficulty all the white silken hair was swept to one side, locks of white curling along the ground about a back hoof. Should he say something? Or just be on his way? Which would be proper...he didn't know her and she may not wish to talk...
Finally Silvera decided to at least nod his head in greeting once, to at least acknowledge her presence. His ears swiveling on top of his head and beads jingled oddly, a sound of solid items rubbing and lightly banging together, as he did nod his head.

Priscilla's head snapped up once more as her eyes snapped open as well. Seemingly catching herself once again nearly falling asleep to anyone watching. But this time something caught her eye and the mare quickly turned her head. Her gold eyes were the most noticeable of her features right off the bat. They stood out amongst her coloring and some said it gave her quite a dramatic, if not eerie look.
Landing on the stallion, she cocked an eyebrow slightly. Tilting her head, her feathers flicking around as she gave a small flick of her tail. And in an instant a wide smile came upon her lips as she quickly moved from her standing spot towards him to get a better look. He was quite entrancing from what she could see. Long white hair and quite the lovely light blue color. And then she noted his wings and horn. How interesting. She had seen many with those features, though all were so different from one another. So it was quite amusing to see a new set.
As she drew closer Priscilla squinted an eye at him. Sniffing at the air lightly before bobbing her head. "Oh! Hello! Are you here for the fun as well? If you are I'm afraid you'll have to wait in line like I am. I don't think the others would take too kindly to you cutting in front of them." Another pleasant smile crossed her muzzle as she hummed a quick few notes of some random melody. Her voice having an airy though whimsical tone about it.

Those gold eyes were quite dramatic though it wasn't just their color but what was under them. It looked like someone, one of the two leggers, had possibly smudged ash under both of her eyes heavily till the ash color was no longer a gray shade but pitch as night. It brought out those golden eyes if nothing else but it did do a lot more.
He himself had no coloring to him which stood out, though some might argue his hair color stood out, he did however look rather striking or so many told him if only because of some angelic, whimsical, look he had gained from his mother for the most part.
At first observation he thought...dramatic for her overall appearance but then he thought she was just going to ignore him, which was fine by him really he wasn't going to approach a soquili who may not wish to be approached. Then that smile and he knew she would come to him, he was sure of it really.
"Good day." His voice was soft and gentle, not as wispy as his mothers though. Smiling in kind, a soft open smile, as pale eyes watched her make her quick approach. taking the time, till she got too close, he stretched his long white wings out the muscles of his wings tensing and straining white feathers so pure they looked as pure as fresh fallen snow. Relaxing his wings they folded up gently at his sides.
He hadn't prepared himself for what would come when she opened her mouth, who could though? She sounded somewhat lost, and not in a physical sense either. "What fun?" Maybe there was something he didn't know and she wasn't insane? Though she did seem it especially mentioning others when he couldn't see any other soquili around them.

The random outstretch of his wings caught her a bit off guard and she pranced in place. But as soon as they folded up again Priscilla basically stared at them as if expecting those feathery appendages to open once more.
His soft voice snapped her out of it and her lips took on an 'o' shape as a small, confused look washed over her face. "Fun? Oh yes!" She nibbled on her bottom lip lightly. "Well, I'm not too sure but them all over there said there was some fun thing going on and they were waiting in line so I just decided to wait in line as well. Cause from the sound of it, it does sound fun whatever it is." She turned her head to look back at the spot she had been standing, shaking her head lightly. "But it seems to be taking forever for whatever it is to happen and I really don't feel like waiting around forever, ya know?" She looked at him as if waiting for him to agree.
But she didn't give him much time to reply. "So." She walked a circle around him, sniffing at the air curiously again. "You smell like the stars. Did you fall from your home? You might wanna get back before it becomes night time. I'm sure all your friends would miss you. My friends would miss me to if I knew where they were."

He'd been meaning to stretch his wings for a while, they were heavy after all, and needed a stretching every so often least the muscles get cramped or twitch at random. He wasn't going to open them again though since they felt better right now, they'd just needed to open once.
"All of them...where?" Was she...talking about the trees and such? She couldn't be right? He really was wondering now about the mare infront of him. She seemed unstable in a mental sense as it seemed she believed the trees not only could and were talking to her but were involved in something fun and were all inline for it. Deciding to not be impolite and tell her he thought she was lost in her own world, to put it nicely, he nodded his head.
"I see, so are you going to continue to wait?" He would go along with it out of sheer politeness. Watching as she walked about him and...sniffed the air around him he nodded slowly. "I did not fall from my home, I do not believe one can come from the stars though such would be a lovely idea. Infact I have a mother and father so it would have been one, or both, of them to have come from the stars if anyone had in my family." And his father often did mention his mother and stars in the same sentence, or his mother and winter and goddess, his father was a hopeless romantic when it came to his mother.
"I have few friends, and I have not seen them in quite some time." He spoke softly while thinking about a certain rainbow stallion who was a fluttercorn like his siblings and then Clara, a lovely unicorn he and his brother were both friends with.
"Excuse me...but who are you anyway?"

She motioned her head towards the trees. "There. They see you. Can you not see them?" Tilting her head again at an odd angle she gave him another curious look. Well if he couldn't see them then he must be blind! They all were right there in front of him. All around. Oh well.
Priscilla pursed her lips lightly, glancing at the trees then back at him. And back at the trees...then at him. "Mmmmm, no I don't think so. Doesn't sound too fun anymore. Can I hang out with you?" Her eyes lit up at the prospect of maybe some company. It was rare that she kept any. Most usually wandered off after a little while. They just couldn't handle her.
Pouting, she touched one of his wings gently with her nose. Lipping at a couple of the feathers lightly. "Awww. And here I thought you might of been a star. You certainly look like you could be one. Unless your just telling me your not to hide your identity. Tricky star!" Squinting one eye, she looked him up and down once again. "Huh? Oh me? I am Priscilla. And who are you?" Her lips took on the 'o' shape once more as she spoke the last word of her query. Curious as to what this stranger's name was. Though the fact of actually asking him never had crossed her mind till now.

"No...I can't see them all I see is trees." Silvera spoke his voice trailing off as he wondered if she meant the trees or perhaps something else and if so what else could she mean? What was there that he didn't see?
Tilting his head as he watched her look between him and the trees he nodded once to her question. She wanted to hang out with him and there was no reason to deny her that so he didn't see a reason to not nod his head. "You may, but what shall we do then?" He asked looking to the golden eyed mare. He hadn't any plans till now and now that he had a plan it only consisted of hanging out with this mare, further then that he was clueless.
"A lovely name, Priscilla, I'm Silvera." He was sure it meant silver, and it was fitting if that was it's meaning. His parents had picked good names for him and his two siblings they were all quite fitting. "If I am a star Priscilla I am not aware of such. I would say I am a normal Soquili such as yourself." Though he wasn't quite so normal being that he possessed a horn and wings like his father did.
"If I were a star how would I know?" He was a Soquili but he would humor her notion that he might be a star and ask her, he couldn't help but find himself curious in what her answer would be and how she thought you could tell if a Soquili were a star.

Priscilla rolled her eyes playfully with a little giggle. "Well then you can see them, silly butt. Their just in disguise." She lowered her head slightly. The end of her statement coming in a hushed tone. They never did like it when you gave away their little ruses.
Lifting her head quickly, she smiled at him. "I was hoping you had something planned. But if I need to come up with something I shall, I suppose." Clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth, the mare's eyes rolled upward as she searched for an answer on the back of her eyelids. Pursing her lips once more in thought.
But her thoughts were quickly brought back down to earth by his voice shattering them. "Silvera." She let his name roll off her tongue slowly. Wrinkling her muzzle lightly as she put it to memory. Sometimes she had a hard time remembering things. Her mouth moved as she tried to file it away. "Thank you, Silvera. I quite like my name as well." Her long, thin tail flicked back and forth as golden eyes searched his face. "Well of course you wouldn't remember if you were silly. Falling from so high up in the sky and landing on your head would cause anyone to forget." She replied quite sagely. As if she knew everything there was to know about stars.
"Well I would imagine since you look like one, smell like one and even sound like one that would be the key. Stars are very delicate creatures. A soft voice like yours would be the type of voice that a star would speak with." Another sage look and a nod. Priscilla was quite sure of it all.

Flickering his long tail at her, it was a hard task to get all that hard to move!, he snorted once. "I dare say my butt can't be silly, but if indeed they are hiding from us perhaps we shall I hide from them? Play the same game as them?" It was a suggestion and while it was utterly ridiculous, since there was nothing hiding from them, he felt the words leave his mouth before he could stop them.
"I'm sorry I haven't a thing planned, I'm terrible when it comes to planning things." Normally planning things was left to father, or his sister. He wasn't much for planning, he usually settled for wondering rather then planning.
How tempted he was to laugh at the mare speaking to him. While she was certainly an odd one she was quirky in a rather attractive manner. Not saying he fancied this mare but he rather found her manner attractive how she spoke and seemed so sure of her words even if most would find them utterly ridiculous and impossible she still spoke and believed them, it was very attractive.
"Yes, I guess if I were a star I wouldn't remember, but then how is it I know both my mother and father, as well as my two siblings?" Silvera inquired with a tilting of his head. He did agree though if a star in fact had a voice, or the moon itself even, he imagined it would be just like his own voice or his mothers, soft and wistful something utterly whimsical and magical.

"Hide from them as well?" Well, it was certainly a prospective thought really. If they were gonna be the way they were then they should very well get a taste of their own medicine! "Sounds like a plan to me. Maybe it'll teach them not to hide all the time."
A small grin came to her lips. Golden eyes almost shining with excitement. Priscilla could come up with anything in the world to do really. All one had to do was put a little thought into it anyway. Though her mind tended to run on a different level than others.
The mare pawed at the ground lightly. Kicking up a bit of leaves and grass with her sharp hoof. Her head bobbed lightly, the feather behind her ear flicking this way and that. Some would say that the sureness in her voice came from nothing more than delusions. But everything seemed to be the way it was to her. And if someone perhaps told her otherwise she might be well inclined to believe them. If they were quite sure of themselves too.
"Stars do not have any earthly forms. So when they fall from the sky..." She lifted her head slightly, gazing at the chilly sky above them. "They fall into baskets that are recently made. Their essence enveloping the foal within and thus they become the foal. But they do not fall into just any random foal. The foals parents must be of the stars as well. And when they wish to bring their starlit children to earth to be with them they make a wish and it comes true." Priscilla shuffled her hooves lightly. "Ever heard the saying 'See a falling star and make a wish'? Well that's what it all means."

"Yes, perhaps it will teach them a lesson." He stated as she seemed to like his idea, he had figured she would agree to it. Well, if someone was ignoring you wasn't it only proper to ignore them as well? After all, they were being rude first.
"Ahhh, I see. Well my mother certainly looks like she is from the stars only those she is from would have come out only on the most crisp and pure a winter eve." His mother looked like fresh fallen snow and stars she was a sight to behold, as his father often spoke of his mother in such manner. Then again it wasn't hard to speak such words when looking at his mother.
"As for my father, well I'm not sure he would be what you'd consider from the stars. I'd say he's from the heart of the woods, where everything lives and nothing disturbs a single living thing there." His father did have an affinity with the woods and nature.
"Perhaps we should find ourselves a place to hide on them?" He ventured to suggested while tossing his hair back, to keep some of the white hair from his face, before he wound up with it in his mouth as often happened, tis one of the many issues with hair as long as his own.

The mare's ears moved back and forth quickly as she listened to him describe his parents. A soft, humble smile coming to her lips as she let her tail sway back and forth. "Oh, how lovely! A union between the stars and the forest. An odd combination perhaps, but love knows no bounds I suppose."
Priscilla mulled it over in her mind. Putting words to scenes that played out in a brief moment of silence in her mind. It was a lovely scene. A starry mare and a woodland stallion falling in love. It was almost bitter sweet. Of course, ever love story needed some kind of drama and that's just what her mind interjected between the two lovers in her thoughts.
"It must of been hard though. Leaving the sky. But love makes one do crazy things." Her chipper smile returned. Eyes closing as her cheeks rose into the smile, making it seem wider.
But soon they quickly opened, glancing about before she lowered her head just a bit. Leaning in towards him so that she could whisper. "Ok, but we have to make sure they don't see where we're hiding. That'd spoil it if they could find us so easily..."

"No, love doesn't know any bounds. My father I believe founds himself quite taken with my mothers beauty and well they do say love at first sight. I think that is perhaps what happened in their case." He said letting out a wistful sigh. The concept was quite romantic and knowing his parents more then possible. He was rather sure it had been love, among other things, at first sight for both of his parents.
"Mmm, yes love does make one do unexpected things, such as my father call my mother a goddess while she denies it every time her cheeks red as she does so." He spoke laughing some. It was a common occurrence with his parents.
He honestly didn't know of any drama between his parents but there could have been some, but if that was the case neither ever spoke of such not that it would surprise him.
"Mmm, yes indeed. But where to hide?" He questioned casting his pale eyes about looking for a place for them both to hide. "Any ideas?" He asked his eyes landing on the golden eyed mare.

Priscilla imitated his wistful sigh. Love at first sight. It was a wonderful thought for a brief moment. Though she herself had never quite had that opportunity, or at least not that she was aware of. Perhaps some stallion had seen her and fallen in love with her somewhere. Oh! And she hadn't even noticed?! Poor guy. He must've been so heart broken.
The thought disturbed her slightly, but it was easily cast aside. Oh well. If he had truly been in love with her he should of said something!
For a moment, the mare locked eyes with the stallion. Giving him a serious look, almost as if a moment of clarity had come to her mind. But it was quickly swept away by yet another smile. Nothing seemed to get her down for too long. "Yes! I know just the place!" She cast a glance back at the trees to make sure they weren't watching. "Come on, its not too far!" The mare bound away a few steps before turning her head to look at him from over her shoulder. Her feathers bobbing lightly with her fluid movements. "Hurry hurry! Before they start to suspect!" If the trees really could watch them like sentient beings they probably already would of been staring by now. Its not like she was being too quiet about it.
