 Being alone was something Amaltheia was going to have to get used to whether she liked it or not. As a child she would wander out of sight for only a few minuets however she was soon called back in the watchful eyes of the herd members if she hadn't found her sisters before the call came. Wanting to take a look further beyond the borders of the plain had entered her mind several times, that she couldn't deny however that was due to the shadows, taunting her curiosity.
Once she had managed to gain the courage to chase after her father when he set off on patrol early one morning. Remembering that day brought a fond smile to her lips as she entered the forest once more, this time on her own, with a duty to tend to. That duty was gathering. Since her ultimate goal was to join River in the ranks of Advisor, whilst she learned under her she would have to learn the ropes of various other jobs members of the herd took upon themselves to help out with.
The forest floor which she so carefully tread upon felt both fragile yet so familiar to her steps. Bird song and animal paws filled her ears in a peaceful melody signalling this part of the forest was safe. This she was thankful of. The last thing she needed whilst taking her first day out on her own since the Coming of Age Ceremony was for something to go wrong;predators lurking and taking her off guard. Her elongated ears flattened at that thought, a past, unwelcome turn of events that had her realise why her parents warnings and cautions had been so important to keep in mind at all times.
Finally reaching, what she believed to be, a good spot for gathering blackberries for the herd she set out to look for a suitable sized leaf she could haul them back with later. Many brambles lay before her, yet bushes of large leaves didn't look like they were widely populated in this area. She twisted her head to the right of her then to the left and decided on taking the left route. When in doubt, the best option was left? She chuckled to herself as she set off in the direction, her emeralds searching the shrubbery swiftly as to not waste too much of the time she could of been spending gathering food.
Sight falling upon a breadfruit shrub, she gasped, a look of delight lighting up her expression as she pranced over to it. The leaves were thick, leathery and rather large. She was certain if she found a big enough leaf that she would be able to carry plenty of blackberries. Arching her neck over, she stuck her head carefully within it's many branches and began to ruffle through it's contents.

He was walking alone as usual, looking for something to entertain him. He could never be happy just staying still in one spot for too long. However, he would always find his way home so he would not worry his mother. Requies even though he looks tough on the outside and well his personality may be a bit morbid he was still a momma’s boy. The first thing that he noticed about this forest it seemed so alive compared to the woods close to home.
He snorted he’d rather see dead trees and animals cowering about in shelter then this lively place. Requies picked up a scent of a soquili close by and he decided to go track the soquili down since he was bored. He wanted to try to pull some prank or even make the soquili cry if that was possible. Was the scent belonging to someone young? Male or even perhaps female, either way it would pleasure him deeply to cause pain.
Requies trampled through the green foliage caring not what he crushed or stepped on. His glowing eyes caught sight of a mare up ahead. She seemed to be busying herself up with something and a smirk crossed his lips. First victim of the day!

Amaltheia was so busy trying to find a leaf best suited for the job she had prepared for it that she hadn't regarded the noises that had her ears twitching like mad. The sounds of twigs snapping and the rustling of bushes as they were being tread on carelessly were as if a massacre was taking place within the forest but the mare had mistook them for her own rummage in the breadfruit shrub as she poked through it's contents;being tugged on and scratched at by various branches.
"Ah! Found you!" She called in her achievement, eyes setting on the perfect leaf. Reaching out to it, she carefully placed her teeth on the stem, giving it a gentle but firm tug to keep it intact. Then, when there were no sounds of her own endeavours to fill her ears did the sound of another's footsteps catch her attention. She froze in place. Eyes widening, the presence of another could soon be felt looming behind her. Her heart started to quicken till it was leaping in her chest.
Ama was unsure what to do. She could run but if it were one of those horrid creatures from before then that would lead it straight to the herd. It would of already caught her scent by now if it hadn't already. Gulping she decided to slowly move her head around, leaf still hanging out of her mouth till the figure appeared only in the corner of her eye. His coat was dark making it hard to distinguish any features from the angle she saw him from, the only thing she could truly make out were two golden, glowing orbs.

He felt accomplished having to disturb her with his presence. His eyes harden at the earthly mare and could not help but feel his expression falter due to her amusing appearance having a leaf hanging from her mouth, she looked silly. Requies kept his silent and menacing expression since he did not want her to think he was a friendly soquili. Since well he was not exactly friendly but was not evil either “Hello there, you must be a nymph in these woods?” he joked.

Ama waited in the silence, standing completely still until the creature talked. It wasn't what she was expecting at all. Her ears stood straight up above her head, to their tips coming so close together they were almost touching. Switching her head around to see him fully, body turning in suit she took the dark figure in more clearly. He was charcoal in colour, dappled in a faded shade with hints of blue smeared in to his coat. Her eyes took the to pearly fangs that hung down over his lip, the horns that crowned his head and the branch like wings upon his back.
Not to mention the blades that stuck out of his ankle! The fear that had been building within her had now fled the scene. All she could think of, was how different he was. Like she was. Her jaw dropped open as she admired the sight of the stallion before her, the leaf making it's great escape. It was a short pause before she realised she had dropped it and in a scramble she quickly fumbled in to a crouch to obtain the leaf again. Blushing at her actions for one, being rude and not replying straight away and secondly for gawking at him.
Putting the leaf on her back between her shoulders, she looked back to him with a light laugh. "Thank the spirits of the forest! I thought you were one of those dreadful creatures!" She called out in relief, offering him a smile regardless of his menacing stare. Recollecting what he had called her earlier, she turned her head coyly to one side. "You really think so? Thank you, that's rather flattering." She chuckled. Nymph's were minor deity's, beautiful maidens whose appearances had been twisted by nature. She had heard similar Greek stories within her herd.
"I have to say... I never thought I would see anyone else..." She looked over him once more, just to make sure she had gotten all the details of his appearance that made him remarkable the first time. "whose appearance differed to the normal quite like yourself." She nodded, taking a couple of steps closer to him.
