R* [G] Who I am (Muse)

[Rein_Carnation]

As a young Noulicorn opened her eyes she greeted the day with happiness. For one to awaken was to live which she truly carried within leaving no room for loss or disappointment. Her happiness swirled around her much like a playful breeze as it followed along touching upon everything she encountered. Not one familiar could be sullen or sad around her for she had a beautiful charismatic approach to things. As the morning sang of a beautiful day Muse smiled joyfully trotting through the grasses that trailed along her legs making soft whispers.

Every flower, every tree, she encountered was bestowed with a glorious "Good Morning".

Even the water, the plants, budding flowers,trees were all brought into her happiness as her ears heard them say "Good Morning" in return. Laughing gingerly hearing those sweet voices she trotted around Homewood repeating her greetings to anyone be they noul, plant, or familiar. Sometimes there would be a noul that would scowl at her only to receive a bigger smile in return.

Today, she moved alongside the river humming to herself when she received an odd feeling within in. It was strange at first but soon became warm with a reassuring tone. Many times her mother would tell of the Great tree that would call her when the time was of essence. The world has to awaken around them with the noulicorn's gifts. The more they fought t revive the happier the spirits and land would be around them.

"Muse... its time".

Her ears perked leaving her to tilt her head curiously. Had the Great tree summoned her? Nodding she moved toward that pull calling to her as it wrapped its fingers gently around her soul.

"Yes. I am on my way" she responded dreamily leaving Homewood to lie in wait behind her. Her walk stride increasing she headed out turning toward the Barrens. Not even the thought of a Barren wasteland frightened her. Everything had an end and also a beginning for it was the cycle that called to us all. Noting the grasses lush in Homewood were becoming course along her ankles she knew her journey was just beginning. Set in front of her as she continued her path sat the most beautiful tree which promptly brought her to a halt in its presence. Gazing in awe she blinked only once her head following the branches upward reaching into the sky. Compared to her deep lilac coat it gleamed like a diamond in front of her.

"Don't be afraid..."

Taking a breath she stepped slowly toward the branches feeling something within she couldn't put her hoof on. While others merely felt nothing her imagination let her hear things which made her life a lot more interesting. Nodding she walked toward the tree resting her long horn on the base of the tree...

Quote:

You find yourself deep inside one of the habitation units in the Ruins. There is an awful stench in the air coming from racks of food left here to molder. Rotten or not, these things contain nutrients... but they're also an alien substance from the Others.
What do you do?

Muse shivered as a bright light that had warmed her entire being now left her in some sort of enclosure.

"Hello?" she called out, "Is anyone here?"

Without a proper answer Muse knew that she was alone here. Quickly she made a few laps around the room checking for any passage ways that might lead her out of this horrid place. Personally, she had never been within the ruins before so her muses secretly were telling her she was perhaps trapped somewhere. The air lingered with stench making her wary wondering what things were housed in here. Shelves reached upward toward the ceiling like steps far above her head to far to reach. Wrinkling her nose she definitely knew something was rotten within these walls. Her curiosity though soon got Muse inspecting the shelves, learning what she had around her. Nodding she came to a drastic conclusion this place housed some sort of nutrition she'd never gazed upon before.

"Interesting" she murmured still wrinkling her nose from the stench. Nosing through each of the containers found what could of been a type of root or vegetable alien to Homewood. Taking her horn she sorted through the things she could reach knocking some of the contents on the ground. Glass shattering around her hooves she noted more fruit contained in these strange creations. These fruits weren't as foul smelling as the other things above her head. Letting them lay on the floor she continued with her muzzle this time pushing through the different covered things. One thing in general she did shy away from was a moldy piece of meat that seemed stiffer then a board. "Eww... not eating that" she protested then returned to foraging. If she was trapped down here nourishment had to be a key player for her to survive. Occasionally, she stopped to seek an exit determined to to never give up.

To her she felt like this was a dream so if it truly was, Muse had to find a way of succeeding.

How long had she been trapped in this place while she was looking through this alien creations she wondered? If she didn't eat soon she'd die from lack of sunlight and water. Determined even more her attention turned toward the other shelves with that foul stench. While these weren't the best choices she focused on finding an answer or something to eat. That is if there was something to ingest that wouldn't poison her. Swallowing the nervous nature she returned to scouring through the shelves determined to find the one reason she was here. Nosing through some strange creations she grabbed a hold of a crinkly cover. Picking it up with her teeth she took note that this thing looked like a vegetable yellow in color. Tossing her head back and forth she attempted to force out this nourishment come hay or high water. To her amazement the cover broke and the food sled out onto the floor. There seemed to be some kind of oozing whiteness in the center of the...

Closer inspection it was soft, spongy-like with a sweet smell reminiscent of flowers. At least it hadn't smelled like that rotting flat thing. Tongue extended she paused taking a taste causing her eyes opening wider then her excitement. This food was sweet like flower nectar in the summer. No. Sweeter even then that causing her to give all caution to the wind gobbling up that soft spongy-type food. Licking her lips she felt jittery though it wasn't poison. Thankful with a boost of energy she returned to the shelf seeking more. Only this time disappointment showed when she realized that was the last treat resting in this place. The deeper she rooted around the more foul moldy aromas captured her senses causing her to gag.

"Ugh not those again. Please can I just eat that delicious cake thing again?"

Taking her horn she pushed the moldy things to the side. There had to be something else here other then this stench of rotten paradise. Tilting her head she frowned but knew what she had to do. Heading back to the other shelf her sights set on containers that were molding over. There sat that stiff piece of meat? She wasn't sure but, it had to be the way out of this puzzling situation. Nibbling her lower lip she closed her eyes reaching out for the dried creation and chewed as devoured it quickly to get rid of the taste. In amazement she realized this thing even though it was horrid, mummified, just plan nasty was a salty delight much like the spongy-cake she'd eaten before.

Pausing she blinked, "Hey, this food isn't half bad even if it smells that way. I wonder were the Others were really so horrible? I mean some might of been but all of them?" Her mind was wandering when she heard footsteps and a door opening which caught her attention. Immediately, her hooves were carrying her toward an open door then everything faded out.

Blinking she was back in front of the Great Tree standing idly in confusion. Her mind spoke reality since she could still taste the sweetness of the spongy cake yet here she stood still in front of the tree. Was it really a dream?

Suddenly, she felt something swirl around her leaving a feeling of accomplishment.
