Muse walked among the spring flowers blowing out her usual "Good Morning" with a soft smile. Everything, even the breezes that playfully waltzed around her were in perfect harmony. Laughing aloud she danced with them hooves light as air. Endless days of bliss in Homewood were true signs that magic dwelled in and around the area. A beautiful brook playing, splashing along the rocks always spoke happiness as it danced and swept downstream. Things were so beautiful around Homewood an artist would never be able to be capture its essence even if they tried. For Muse though, the sight she forever engraved within her mind was amazingly detailed and vibrant. Not one setting seemed out of place nor did it miss one thing.
Her favorite routine of the day was visiting other's gardens singing and humming to give them appreciation. Such loving care went into these plants that stretch outward for the sunlight. Smiling she'd greet everyone and be on her way. Such amazing dedication for each plant from their caretakers. One garden especially she adored was Accalia's garden whom she helped water and nourish while the other was out on training with Connal. He was one noul that could make Muse shudder with how direct he really was.
Back to her thoughts she smiled at that new plant Accalia was growing within her lovely garden. New species of plants meant Vykeli was responding the the various powers reflecting across the different regions.
"Good Morning, you all are looking so wonderful today" she sang aloud so not one plant was dismissed of her kindness. This admiration she carried never seemed to run in short supply. While watering the plants and Blossoms she heard some news, chatter that carried throughout Homewood causing her to stop and listen. Not only was she full of adoration for everything but, her talent to listen and absorb emotion was also one of her amazing traits. Continuing onward to the different gardens giving love and water where needed she thought to herself on the rumor. It seemed Brightheart had found bones once more like the ones Accalia had taken under her wing so to speak. She turned out the shining caretaker of a cockatrice that ran her all over creation. It was amusing to Muse to watch the young creature play games with a noul who barely could show emotion.
"I wonder what could this creature be if she were to resurrect it?" she pondered aloud to anyone who was listening.
Dipping the watering can to the last plant that was actually a new blossom she made a contented sigh. Then she pondered the thought if she too could become a caretaker. This creature be it land, water, or air would need plenty of love to help it grow.
Titling her head replacing the sole watering can she nodded to herself, "I'll go see Brightheart and request to care for her creatures".
Then with a lively step her hooves brushed over the grass till she found the clearing where Brightheart stood looking over the bones in contemplation.
"Excuse me Brightheart" she spoke with subtle confidence, "I have come to ask your approval in caring for one of these creatures". Being a huge step in her life Muse recognized responsibility equal to the way she cared for her plants and how her happiness spread to other's around her. Raising a creature would mean she'd need to find its name, priorities, and mostly what it truly was. It would certainly be an adventure in itself but, honestly it was life that would grace the world again. A new chance for a beginning would certainly bring more health to Vykeli once more.
As she stood there Brightheart looked upon her, as if searching, evaluating for some misstep she might make taking on the kinship of familiar and noulicorn. To her releif though Brightheart nodded speaking kindly, "A magical soul such as yours is worthy of guardianship for this creature".
Muse could help but smile, her voice calling outward in joy and surprise, "Yay! Thank you. I will protect this creature, bond with it till we are one in heart and mind".
"As I could tell when you asked to take care of this creature. You are a worthy... Muse".
She couldn't contain her enthusiasm as it bubbled effervescently like the playful brook she always walked along in Homewood. Envious of other's whom claimed familiars in a bond she often wondered if she too could share her love, teachings, and companionship with another. Now she was certain she was ready much like her visit to the Great Tree. There always proved a time and place for many things that which Muse would slowly come to understand as her life traveled onward as did her age. A sweet soul able to give more to the world as long as her heart stayed big enough to cherish everything.
"I will call for you when your creature as breathed once more. Till then keep healing Homewood with your kindness, Muse".
Muse dipped her head her eyes glittering with excitement, "Thank you Brightheart. For giving me a chance to prove my worthiness".
"No" replied Brightheart, "Thank you for bringing your benevolent nature showing me there is goodness in the world, still".
Muse nodded with a bigger smile before taking her turn to leave returning back to Homewood that smiled back at her. She felt a little more positive if not mature for taking a chance and asking for guardianship. Soon she would have a companion with plenty of time to have adventures loving the world. No matter what would come to hinder things she had an inkling that simply being there at a certain time could essentially move mountains. When Accalia was back she's possibly ask her what those bones could belong to. Anything that would be helpful in locating this creature's needs would always be a plus in her book.
"Soon little one... soon I can tell you Good Morning. And perhaps just maybe you'll say the same to me as well". The future certainly held a lot of potential then Muse herself could of ever fathomed was possible.
