 Just a little bit further to go until it was safe to take a break. The mare was running for a while, frightened from the sight of the King's court lingering among the lands. Sure, it was common to see them around, but now that the war was over, she did not want to take any chances of possibly getting captured. Yes, she was aware that the only way that you would actually become one of "them" was if you were bonded, but still, she did not want to deal with any of that nonsense. Azrein were born to be free creatures after all.
"It's a wonder how the sun seems to meet the land at such an interesting angle. Horizons are such fascinating things." she whispered to herself, finally heeding to a pause. Here was safe, still in the north, but a distance from the castle. Sure, it was a silly thought, but it kept bothering her. She just could not bear seeing her kind being ridden on, fondled over, or anything else that one could receive from being a "pet" to those with two legs. What peculiar creatures they were.

Glancing at the sun, it dawns on her how long time see's to go by when you are bored. She has been bored since the sun has blazed at it's peak up in the sky. No critters to watch, no travelers to speak to. Travelers are often a rare sight indeed. She rarely gets any company, yet she dearly loves having conversations with others. The tree line is not far from her as she wanders around. Being one to live in the forests she doesn't usually go very far out into the grasslands. Why should she when everything she needs is conveniently in the forest? There are times of course when she just wants to run and flutter her wings about out of pure joy without the hinderance of trees. Yet those times come at such odd moments it is sorta sporadic. It isn't until another half hour passes when she comes upon a stranger. One of the likes she hasn't seen. With wings that are much larger yet closely resembles her own. Blinking with awe and a bit shocked she halts her steps just to watch. There are others with these same wings?Yet this mare's wings are darker and not transparent like my own. The others coat is red and reminds her of fires. Would the other be as fiery as her coat and wings suggest? Her horns are like those rams that she has seen before. Well more along the lines of once..She couldn't find them again. Beaded bracelets adorn the others back feet and a garland upon the brow. Whoever this mare is sure has lovely accessories. Unsure of how to approach the mare Amaris shifts her weight. She doesn't want the mare to run from her. It has been a while since she last had company so how does she get the mare to stay and chat? A slight breeze ruffles her hair and her green feather sways in the wind. Tentatively she steps forward. Her voice is soft as she calls out to the other." Pardon me.. I don't mean to startle you.. But are you lost?

Vanya should have checked her surroundings before coming to a stop. In other words, she did not know that someone was around. She was not one who had much company other than her sisters after all, but they were often living in the south. How they managed to survive the brutality of the dead lands marveled her. She was much too gentle to tame the lands.
Her ears flicked, catching onto the strange, but calming voice. No, she was not startled, just surprised to hear someone around. It was like if the voice was tempting her to follow it and discover who it belonged to. "It depends." she answered, not knowing where the sound was coming from. The sun was still blinding her eyes, but she just assumed where the voice was coming from.
Wow. What a gorgeous mare. she thought, finally seeing who possessed that beauty for a voice. She admired the coloration of the mare, looking at the careful blending of colors on her mane and tail, and the unique designs on her sides. That takes really, really, really planned breeding. she noted. The horns. They were horns, right? Well, she never saw horns before other than her own, so how much more were out there with them?
Feeling a bit awkward just standing, staring down the stranger, Vanya blushed, turning her head back a bit and then pulled it back, smiling. "My apologizes. I am not lost, but I did think that I was alone around here."

Amaris watches the mare as it seems that the sun might be shining in her eyes. Yet she doesn't want to approach until the mare is comfortable and has seen her so she wouldn't be on guard. Conversations run more smoothly when both parties are comfortable and relaxed after all! Her ears p***k forward as the other responds. The timbre of her voice is pleasant on the ears. For that she is thankful. If sounds are too high pitched she sometimes can get headaches and annoyed rather quickly. Standing still as the other mare watches her she takes note of the others mane and tail. Streaks! The other has red streaks in her black mane and tail. How peculiar as she hasn't met one with streaks before! She smiles as the other relaxes." No need to apologize. Most that come across me don't expect company. Usually I live in these woods by myself but every so often a traveler comes through. Though it has been a while. Are you in a hurry?" Stepping towards the other mare she walks around her looking at her wings." Your wings are larger than mine and aren't transparent. Wait... are they two sets of wings?! I've seen feathered wings, but haven't met another with the same kind of wings as I.. May I touch them?" Blue eyes watch the other curiously. Would they feel like her own wings? Will the other let her touch them?" It's okay if you say no.. I am just curious to see if they feel like mine."

She shook her head, telling the mare that she was in no hurry at all. "If I may ask, why do you live here alone? Don't you get lonely at times?" Vanya was used to being lonely, but it was a large burden for her to carry. There were many times when she was offered the favor to live among the ranks of the Six just to be with her sisters, but she always managed to kindly refuse the gesture.
It was a bit awkward watching as the mare approached her, but she did not move. No, she was too curious in what the stranger was trying to do - observe and compliment her. How long has it been since someone seemed to fawn over the orange mare? It was such a long time ago that she forgotten what it felt like to be praised in a way.
"Yes, you may touch them." she said amused. When asked about the set of wings she had, Vanya shrugged, not knowing the answer. All she knew were the wings were wings and they were all beautiful no matter what. I do pity her. . . it does sound like she has never left this forest before. "Though I am pretty sure that they would feel the same, just slightly different from one another." With this, she fluttered her wings a bit just to get the nervousness out.
"I'm Vanya Gwilwilethel by the way, but what's your name, if I may ask?"

Amaris thinks for a moment about the question. She knows the answer will probably seem silly. Though she really has no reason to hold it back either. Smiling slightly and lowering her head slightly with embarrassment she replies." Well, I was born in the forest..My mother raised me up until I was a foal. She always told me to never leave until I find someone that I could trust to journey with if I ever desired to leave. I haven't found someone like that yet. Sure I've met other Azerin, but I feel bad about asking such things so I never ask. I wouldn't want to be a nuisance. I do get lonely at times...mostly in the periods in which no travelers are around. But you are here right now so I'm not lonely!" Satisfied with her answer she stands up straight and flutters her wings. When she is given permission to touch she gently touches both wings. Indeed they do seem to feel like her own except the larger wings do have a slight different texture. " The larger ones are slightly rougher. Did you get the wings of both of your parents?" Stepping back to give the mare some space her eyes widen. Oh no! She's been terribly rude! To ask such questions without having to introduce herself! Her mother must be so disappointed in her." I've been so terribly rude! My apologies for not introducing myself before. My name is Amaris. It's such a pleasure to meet you Vanya! "

Vanya half smiled, hearing the mare's background. It was sort of like her's, but her sisters were the ones who watched her instead. "I wouldn't think of that as a nuisance, but rather as an azrein trying to befriend another or just trying to get some advice about things. Tagging along with others sounds sort of fun actually, because you get to travel the lands with someone that you just met."
She shrugged, not really knowing the words that spilled out of her mouth. Okay. That did not really make any sense. When the mare asked about her bloodlines regarding the wings, Vanya's smile returned. "Oh, no. It's actually passed down from my mother's side of the family. My father had much smaller and impish looking wings. Only one of my sisters seems to have that trait. Where have your wings and horns come from?"
Catching the mare's worry about her name, Vanya laughed, wanting Amaris to know that there was no worry. A name was just a name, right?

Amaris blinks as the other speaks. The other has a point about it being as if one is trying to befriend another. Yet wouldn't it be safer if one knew the other for a little bit before going off with them? Logic battles with her. Yet she really does wish to go travel someday.. Well she thinks she does anyway. She loves her woods, but thinking of the island as a whole that she hasn't seen.. She yearns to see it. " But it wouldn't be as safe as if you have known the other for a little while. Because there seems to be other factors and worries with just going with any random traveler that comes by. They could leave you behind without saying anything.. or they could try to force you to join a herd.. They could even try to force themselves upon you.. I don't think I would want to go with any traveler that I just met.. Perhaps if I known them more than a few days.. but not just met. It would be thrilling, but I don't like not knowing the person I am traveling with." Amaris smiles as Vanya talks of her bloodline. How interesting! So there are definitely different kinds of wings. It would be interesting to see other types. Startled when the other asks of where her wings and horns come from.. Wait.. horns? She doesn't have horns! She is confused for a moment before it finally dawns on her that the other is talking about her antlers. Letting out a happy laugh she grins." Oh how interesting those wings sound. I've only come across feathered wing on other azerin. I didn't know there were even more kinds of wings! As for myself.. I got my wings, the blue hair and the more detailed markings from my mother. From my father I got the antlers, the celtic design and the feathering on my feet. Supposedly it was from my grandfather on my father's side where I got the black coat from." When the other becomes relaxed that is when Amaris becomes relaxed. She is glad the other laughed. Laughing is just such a happy sound. She smiles and looks around." Will you perhaps stay at least til tomorrow? Nobody comes into this part of the woods. It's generally just me. So you would be safe enough. It would really make me happy if you did." Will the other accept her invitation? Oh how she hopes so.

Vanya took in the words that Amaris said. So she was more of a mare who took precaution. Good. At least there was less danger that way. How far did her line go though? Because Amaris seemed to have a quite interesting lineage indeed. . .
She blinked when asked to stay for a while, and she was reluctant, but did not want to leave the mare to herself even if it was a safe location. Vanya did want to continue on her journey, but a day's delay did not really make much of a difference, now would it?
"Sure. I wouldn't mind staying for the night. You're rather interesting, so that'll keep me preoccupied." she responded. "So tell me about yourself. How long ago was it since you seen your parents?"
l sorry. short response. I just wanted to get this roleplay up and running again. l

Amaris beams at Vanya as she agrees to stay for the night. Oh how much fun it will be! Nickering in excitement she muses over her question. How long has it been since she had seen her parents? Blinking she looks around as she tries to remember how long it had been. Years? Months? She doesn't quite know exactly when.. but a rough estimation perhaps. Inspecting her hooves for a moment her wings flutter softly. "It's been about... two to three years I think... Roughly. I can't recall how long it has been exactly.. but they left in spring. Because the flowers were starting to bloom." Shaking her mane she turns." Let me show you where I reside. It's actually in the forest.. not in the open.. Follow me." Smiling she starts to walk into the forest.

Vanya smiled, catching the miraculous sight of Amaris' wings flutter so gently. Now if only her own were ever so light. Two to three years though, that was around the same amount of time since the oranged mare departed from her own too, which then made Vanya assume that they were roughly the same age, maybe just a bit of a time difference from one another, but that did not really matter.
"Spring does sound like an enchanting time to live around here," she complimented, looking around the scenery. There was tons of plant life, so that was a perk too.
As Amaris guided her into the forest, Vanya could not help but to admire everything around. It was much more different than what she was used to - wide open spaces, coming to the trees only when needed for protection. On the other hand, this mare actually lived here, and she found that pretty special.
"Amaris? You said that travelers sometimes come to these parts, but I do not see what reason they have to leave here. It's absolutely stunning here."
l super late of the late replies. >.> l

Amaris dips her head as she goes under a low branch. Her antler's barely having enough room to go under. Lifting her leg over a hole in the ground she doesn't wish to disturb the home of one of the forests many inhabitants. She has learned that to survive she had to learn to coexist with the other animals. Become conscious of their homes. The soft sounds of a stream reaches her ears as she smiles. They are getting close to her glen. Where she usually rests. Its a small glen. Yet very green and open. Tall grasses to one side and a gentle stream running midway coming down from the mountain's to go further down. She hasn't ever wandered to follow it past the tree lines so she doesn't know how far it goes. Picking up Vanya's voices she smiles and looks over her shoulder." Yes, Springtime is just magical here. All the wildflowers and critters running about. Definitely greener at that time too." Stepping out of the tree's they are officially in her glen. Turning she stops and watches to see Vanya's reaction to her home. The other glances around at the surroundings and she is sure that she had been doing so the entire time. Seeing the reactions of others is a pastime to Amaris. Pleased by the others curiosity and awe she grins. Tilting her head she listens to the other's sort of question. Shrugging she looks at her glen and the forest." Well.. Sometimes they long to go to the mountains where the air is cool.Sometimes they want to go to find their families. Only seeking shelter for the night. Each had reasons to leave whether for adventure, family, or the forest not being to their.. liking or being their preference.." Looking over at the other mare her blue eyes takes in the how the other reacts to her answer.

As they were walking, Vanya caught onto the amounts of times Amaris had to lower her head in order for the antlers to successfully travel with the two. Now the mare began to question of why the branches were so low, but then again, it was Amaris' home, not her's, so she found the idea of asking to be rude. It marveled her though, seeing the glen. It was nothing like the orange mare's thickets, so this was a large change indeed. More room, more life. Her thicket? It was more of a hiding place from the Humans and in case one needed to find some sanctuary.
Vanya just could not stop looking around the place, for it was just enchanting. How could such a place exist when there were other places that were just . . . scary?
"Oh, the mountains!" she trumpeted, "Someday, I will head there, for I have always wondered how one manages to get so high up. It seems as if our wings would not support us all the way up, considering the snow and winds, I would imagine our dear wings to freeze, rather than flutter!"

Amaris smiles and wanders into her glen. The grass sways in the gentle breeze as small animals scurry around. Her home is a safe haven. Sure she may have to duck her head to get there, but that is hardly anything when you think of a safe place. She smiles at Vanya's words and thinks about it. " That's probably what would happen. Our wings are so thin.. They couldn't hold us at that height..Though the view would be beautiful from the mountains. Perhaps I will go there someday. I am curious to see them."

"Oh, the mountains!" she trumpeted, "We should head up there, after settling down for the night." the mare suggested to Amaris, though they just hardly met. "Funny, because I would not tend to volunteer myself to head to a task as for as that.
We are both curious about what lies beyond this glen of yours anyways. I am sure that the place would still look the same as of how we left it, so what do you say?"Cheyriddle4 I wrote a response the day you posted, but I guess I never actually posted it on gaia till now. xD
