Feathers and Rainbows once again [PRP]Rein_Carnation Zaribe stepped lightly along with her moving smoothly as his head bobbed around. Noticing her flower was a bit dirtied from the ground, he paused looking about for something a little more fitting.
Noticing one similar but unique, the stallion painted in a sheen of scarlet walked over toward it. Craning his neck downward, with the gentlest manuver plucked it in his teeth. Satisfied he walked back to her holding his new offering.
Careful not to dammage the floral beauty, he spoke calmly protecting the flower.
"Here. I think this one suits you better." he stood paitiently seeing if she'd allow him to replace her once beautiful blossom that always gave her that air of innocence. Exaleen Chaser smiled as she looked at the flower. It was very pretty as she giggled and agreed. She rather liked her flower yet, it was dirty. She smiled at him, "Thanks Zar, thats really sweet of you" She giggled as her blue eyes darted around for something, she then looked at her hooves, Pink.
Her thoughts ran widely as she looked at them, why pink? Her neck cocked to the side a bit, but notto bad to keep Zar from ptting in the new flower. Her cheeks flushed a bright red but she didn't pay attention to it.
She turned her head to look up to Zaribe, his eyes were looking right at her. She blinked as she smiled at him, her face was still red but she still didn't know. She swished her tail happily as she said again,Thank you Zaribe..." Rein_Carnation He gladly replaced her old flower with a new rainbow tinted one, yet didn't toss the old which lie in saddness on the ground. Smiling he picked that one up as well placing snug between the newer one so the dirt was exposed, yet she had two beauties to match her eyes of csytalline blue.
"Welcome" he responded with a statisfied sigh, "Now you have new and old for even more shining beauty of a rainbow."
Coughing he strayed his eyes away from her remembering finally they were headed somewhere, "Where were we going again?" he asked with a chuckle. Always such a silliness when something got him sidetracked. Now he forgot what they were doing. Exaleen Chaser giggled as she looked at him. She blinked, where were they going? Oh right they were headed towards the forest! She laughed at herself, "The forest. You made me forget to!" She chuckled as she walked towards the east were the dark forest laid.
She smiled at him as she flicked her ear that had the ne flower and the old one. She looked into the dark forest as she looked back at him. She swished her tail as she nudged him along for the short walk. They soon approched the dark forest.
A mischevous smile ran across her face as she scooted into the forest. She got a shiver of excitment as she stuck close to Zaribe. She flicked her ears as she giggled, "Wow I like it in here, very peacful" She winked playfully as she walked along the forest, maybe something scary lied ahead. Rein_Carnation Zaribe puffed his chest and made the silliest sound directly into the forest looming within. If anything were to be scared it wouldn't be them he nodded his head with a snort. Besides he could kick... hard if he needed to. Predator or not both the parrot and the rainbow would get out of there with nothing but a scratch.
As his voice echoed further in it sounded like a bird squawk rather then a clarion call which amused the stuffing out of the great steed, for birds and smaller mammels bolted in a spooked run from the sound.
His ears picked up on every rustling the leaves made, croaks of frogs, and the song of the forest playing merrily. Only when his withers stopped shivering did her relaz and become his old self.
"Its not that bad, but the trees back home could out do these anyday." he grinned nudging her playfully. Exaleen Chaser giggled at Zarbie he always made her laugh no matter where they were or what her mood was. She giggled more as he snorted as she pushed on as she quietly said, "Nice~" She giggled more as she didn't look at him, but she could tell he was looking at her.
She noticed that her voice, which was quiet slightly boomed after her mouth stopped. She cocked her head as she giggled as she looked up. A bit of sun light spilled throguht the trees. She smiled as she took in a deep breath as she flicked her head back.
She nodded slightly as she giggled as he nudged her, "I suppose but hey! I like it maybe we will see some birds or something?" She looked at him this time and nudged him back as she giggled more. She liked going on adventures, even more with one of her best friends. Rein_Carnation "Yep" he hummed puffing out his chest, "Huge trees than this. So dark that the light could barely break through" he grinned with a wide look in his eyes. Prancing about his mischevious side started seeping over him as ears swiveled continously listening for something suspicious.
Suddenly he squaked and chuckled as he continued his tale, as the two of them walked along deeper into the unknown.
"Sometimes it became so dark things would creep about when you least expect it. Heh being a foal was quite an experience in a dark place such as that" he nodded stretching his thick neck toward the canopy above him with spatters of light sliding through here and there.
"Anywhere there was something and yet nothing. Yet it was always watching" he grinned watching her walk along, if there was anything he loved doing it was being silly. Chatting about the deep jungles he was birthed in was no exception. Exaleen ((rein I love your siggy!)) Chaser smiled at him, he seemed to be loosing up. She blinked a bit as she laughed at him. His eyes showed great happiness, and mishevious-ness as she giggled more. She to kept herself aware if anything was to happen. She listened to his tale of the darkened forest, she loved walking with Zaribe.
His story made her really happy as she felt a little tear fall from her eyes. She giggled slightly as she hide her eye with her mane as she listened. She blinked at him, "did you know your parents really well? I mean when you were a foal?"
She looked at him with a curious look still hiding the tears falling down her cheek. She just giggled, "Your lucky I grew up in a vast feild stuc with soquilis who thought being silly was a bad thing..." She giggled slightly, "They always told me I was odd. Though...I liked it" She stood up straight as she too laughed.
It was her turn to speak of when she was young, "My dad always scoled everyone and they told me I would never find love...that may be so but hey guess what? I never really cared about what they said. I only care about what my friends said, and thats the way it's gonna stay" She smiled happily as she waled with him, she jokingly poked his cheek.
She looked up at the sy, "Wow, it IS pretty when the light spills in though..."((sorry got carried away sweatdrop )) Rein_Carnation ((Hee hee.. he needed some sig time cause he's just that special))He grinned with a smirk followed by as chuckle, "Well when little fledglings are well and grown theyup and leave the nest. But I remember a little of our parents" he nodded flicking his tail back and forth, "Scarlet as us both were our parents though mother had a more defined cerulean color than our father. Names aren't that promising in my head so I won't push to what they were. Only that we were one big colorful family" he grinned shaking his rump playfully.
Listening to her story of her own youth he smiled widely, for he loved hearing other's tales of youth and silliness. She was the rebel type yet sweet as the daisies that grew in vast places.
"Well hey you know being yourself and doing what you want makes a much better soquili. I know I follow that well and don't care what others think" he grinned leaning down to quickly pluck a feather from its birth, "So I'm picky about my feathers. Big deal. Atleast I'm not a mudball am I?" he noted spitting out the loose feather letting his tongue hang out in a silly manner.
"I am who I am and that's never going to change, Same sould be for you as well." he nodded stamping a hoof playfully to make his determined point, "As for love I figure when it comes it comes. I hear if you're not careful it will bite you when you're not paying attention."
He grinned wondering himself when this fabled "love" would bite him. He almost wanted to challange the thought and see if it was true that this fabled spirit had teeth as sharp as some say it did.

{PRP} A horse of a different color?! *Zaribe & Barra* Thu Feb 15, 2007 Rein_Carnation This RP is strictly for Rein_C and TokyoMewkit. Any interaction otherwise must be confirmed first.  Letting himself glide closer to the ground the scarlet stallion playfully kicked up snow with his deep hooves letting flying masses of whiter fall here and there. He trumpted finally able to land showing off a contrast of red, blues, and golds against the startling white. Winter wasn't that bad but the pure sandy beaches at home made him more happier. YokoOnna Bara skidded across the ice, enjoying the almost flying like sensation she got. It barely took any effort to get to the other side of the lake. Bara turned around, and was about to go again, when she saw the red stallion against the white snow. It was hard to miss him. Bara grinned and pushed off, sliding towards the stallion. Rein_Carnation His hoof stuck in a mire under the snow causing him to grumble shaking it loose. His ears perked toward the incoming beauty toward him. Most soquili tended to be blue or brown but golden like the sun? He smirked ifnoring his dilema outfolding his wings to show off trotting about with his head held high. He was curious of who she was of course certain his displayed greeting could get her attention. She seemed the type to enjoy herself, a much needed pasttime right now. YokoOnna Bara grinned as she neared the stallion. She admired his outstretched wings, loving his colorations. He seemed like a very fun stallion, and someone she could spend a whole day with without being bored. "Hello!" She yelled as she skidded to a stop. "Want to ice skate with me?" She asked. Rein_Carnation Zaribe never heard of that statement before but he wondered what this "ice skating" would be like. Tossing his head about in a high stance he smiled delightfully at her still spreading his wings in a colorful fanfare. "Why hello there. Do you know you look like the golden sun shining? Thought I'd mention that" he chuckled with a wink. "Hmm ice skating? Never heard of it. Mind showing me?" he said with an excited tone. If it was like Shaylee's antics he was sure this might be something definitely away from boredom. YokoOnna "No, I didn't know I that I looked like the golden sun shining." Bara said excitedly. "I've always just thought of myself as just yellow." She gave a grinned. "And as for the ice skating, it's really really fun!" She pushed off, skidding around in a circle and stopping in front of him again. "See?" Rein_Carnation The stallion stood totally bemused at this shining entity in front of him. "Yellow" he stated with the "low" part trilling off of his tongue, "Nope golden like the island sun. Standing in mid thought she caught his attention sliding about in the icy terrain around them. Tossing his head he too trotted about feeling his feet slide without his control. Snorting he shidded throwing shaved ice her way. YokoOnna Bara laughed as he skidded and merely shook the shavings off of her, being used to it, after all. "That was a good first time!" She said, sliding over to him. "Have you ever skated on the ice before?" She asked, nudging him to make him skid the other way. Rein_Carnation His hooves weren't ice skates as he realized this spinning madly different ways. It was a bit intimidating for one so bold but learning was a different sort of winning. His wings extending on turns helped destroy that feeling of "not being in control". Rather the scarlet stallion timed his difficulties and smugly took his own form of being dominant over the taunting ice.
Chortling with a deep trumpted call he skid up next to her shaking his rainbow mane vigorusly. Waves of primary colors rolled outward slowly leaning back to lie upon his massive broad neck and shoulders.
"Hmm delightful. Iceskating? Nope islands have no ice... show me?" he q ueried with an air of "play" about him. It was slightly possible Zaribe may of found something to chase away his boredom. YokoOnna Bara was grinning as she saw him skating around and smiled even larger when he asked her to show him. "Of course!" She said, nudging him and skating around in a circle around him as he skidded. Rein_Carnation He swung into a 360 not too long after spinning him quite fast. Though the stallion chortled and pranced using his wings for balance. As he spun here and there in their game of "ice skating" he still fell deeply immersed melting into the yellow that made her whole. A golden beauty with faded black stockings.
"I like iceskating.. course its a ton of fun more when you teach me" he winked skidding in beside her with a flick of his braided multicolored primary tail. YokoOnna Bara grinned, giving a small blush. "Ice skating is fun. You're a natural with those wings. You don't know how many times I've fallen when I first got on because of my balence problem." She pushed off and did a not-so-clean figure eight. "I can't wait till it acually looks like an eight!" She said.
"What do you usually do for fun in the winter time?" She asked, skating beside him. Rein_Carnation He trotted with his wings extended now for a great balancing mechinism.
Once in a while sharp thrusts of his head caused his mane to flowing and colorful like a flag pinned in the winds. Boredom had set sail awhile ago and frankly he didn't wan't to loose that idea of fun he was being taught.
"Fun in the winter" he stated as a question to himself repeating it as she had mentioned it.
Frankly he wasn't too sure since they arrived, his sister and himself, around the summer months. This was technically his first winter.
"To tell you the truth... I know you'll laugh..." he snickered with a huge grin, "I've never seen winter before till now. Zi and I are jungle equines straight from the land of surf and sun" he said gazing at her wondering what she'd think. A silly jungle horse out in the middle of a snow field. YokoOnna "Wow! That sounds amazing!" Bara said, trying to imagine a world with no winter. "It's always warm? I guess to some soquili it's paradice, but I love the winter too much. It's so much easier to have fun in the winter!" She said, grinning and doing another circle around the parrot soquili. Rein_Carnation He watched her melting like butter in her golden coat all the more.
"Snow in the islands? Aww heck no... the trees wouldn't be so green if it snowed there" he nodded with a snort tossing his long mane back and forth, "but its also boring there. Its different but i like this snow." he winked with a whinny.
"What else do you know about winter. Is quite curious" he mused watching her with a wink.

{PRP} A horse of a different color?! *Zaribe & Barra*YokoOnna Bara grinned. "If you're really skilled, or just want to try, some make snowmen, and forts! Though it's hard without hands. The humans tend to do that more than the soquili." Bara said. She looked up to think.
"There's always snow fight where you through snow at the others." She said, "And there's also so many other things!" Rein_Carnation Zaribe listened intenly as a sly dmile curved his deep features. "A snowball fight.... sounds intriging..." he looked around him eyeing up the hunks of snow shaking off the thought of throwing a snowball at such a lovely creature.
Still Zi though wouldv'e bombed his rear in a heartbeart just to see hollar about messing up his feathers.
Still he felt playful and pondered the thought, "I see" he murmered with that ever so charming smile of his. YokoOnna Bara giggled. "It's harder to make the snowballs as a soquili, but it's still just as fun to toss snow at others." She said, skidding to a halt near a pile, grinning slyly. "Since we don't have fingers like the humans, we can't mold the snow, or hold it."
Bringing her face into the snow, pretending to be eating some of it to let it melt in her mouth, she suddenly threw her face up, letting the snow fall on the bright red horse, grinning the whole while. Rein_Carnation Zaribe shied at the snow for a moment snorting as his nostrils flared.
Sneaky. Two could play at that game he grinned, never leaving his brown eyes wander from her. Catching his own snow pile with a sweep of his head, the scarlet stallion released the white coldness to land directly at her chest.
Cawing like a bird almost he snorted a laugh then flicked his tail in the moment of play. YokoOnna Bara gave a small jump as the snow hit her. So he was one to fight snow with snow, eh? She grinned, glad that someone other than herself was playful. That made Bara happy. She enjoyed it when others played back and didn't get annoyed with her.
'Maybe this one knows where sugar is, too.' She thought before prancing over to another pile of snow, this time kicking it towards the red stallion. Rein_Carnation He sidestepped a minute too late in his flamboyant gestures getting firmly nailed on the shoulder. Snorting he tossed his head prancing past her as his tail held high in the likeness of a distant arabian cousin.
Pulling into a circle around her he kicked back, letting heavy cold snow smack her back. Grinning he took off in a short gallop hollering, "Tag". YokoOnna Bara gave a squeal of delight, shaking off the snow and running after the red stallion. She tried to find more snow banks that she could use against him, and ran past him, skidding to a stop, showering him with snow. Rein_Carnation Shaking his great mant the parrot stallion trotted about holding his tail high as an arabian would. Grinning ear to ear he chuckled watching the sunshine in motion. Liquid gold splashing snow upon his sides and yet he didn't feel irritated or resentful to such childish pranks she pulled. He rather liked being able to have freedom and less supervision.
Opening his long wings he flapped them as if in a taunt and ran past her with a chortle. Leaning over along the way nipping her shoulder playfully nipped her then shouting "Tag! You're it sunshine". YokoOnna Bara gave a wide grin. Ice tag was one of her favorite sports, if you could call it that. She enjoyed skating around, trying to catch another soquili. She pushed after the red horse, stretching her neck out to get a few more inches. Soon she was able to nudge his hidequarter, then made a sharp turn towards the other end of the lake. Rein_Carnation Snorting he skidded sending snow and ice everywhere. She caught onto his game did she he chuckled. With a trumpeting whinny he bounded after her, his grin widening ever so slightly upon his deep set face. Boredom was a thing of the past, now he was having fun which he enjoyed to no end. Galloping full speed he bounded directly after her nearing ever so closer to nudge her back.

{PRP} The Parrot meets the Sunny Rainbow Fri Mar 30, 2007 Rein_Carnation This RP is for Cait and myself. Please do not post unless you have permission. After a long doable flight the scarlet stallion landed in a familiar thicket with a stretch of his colorful wings. Boredom was setting in and he craned his neck downward looking for something to eat to bide his time. Nosing about he picked out decent sized stalks though the winter was still attached in coarseness and he chewed with no complaint. Raising his head upward he snorted a bit then yawned. Boredom was never anything he looked forward to for it was like the time when he was lost without Zikeria; his sister to play with. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe was in her exploring mood so she decided to trot through the forest and thickets while humming cheerfully. The sun peeks through the canopy of the forest and hits her yellow pelt, making her sparkle like golden and her rainbow hair gleams cheerfully, reflecting her mood. She crinkles her nose up as she giggled when the butterfly landed on her nose, she snorted which sent the butterfly fluttering away.
"Have a nice day, butterfly!" She calls out with a laugh as she blinks when she sees a red winged stallion standing there in the thicket nibbling on stalks. "Hi!!" She calls out as she bounds toward him with a huge grin on her face. Rein_Carnation His eyes blinked as deception overtook his profile. A Goddess of Golden rainbow was bounding toward him and even unttered a greeting. What foul trickery had betrayed him to see such an illusion.
But it wasn't an illsion as the beat of her hooves echoed deeply within his mind. She shined like the brightest star and gleamed like a certain rainbow he was fond of.
Grinning he watched her falling entranced even more by her bright and alluring colors. "Wow" he exclaimed with a happy composure lifting his head to greet her back, "Alo there Sunny Rainbow" he chirped with his grin held in place. Though he looked quite giddy he really didn't hide it for something beautiful had just chased the boredom away. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe giggles as she could see that the stallion is pleased and happy with something. She slows down from bounding to walking with a huge smile on her face. She is very happy to meet her very first stallion since she was a foal. "Hello Birdy!!" She giggles as she looks at Zairbe with laughter dancing in her orangish red eyes. "So I am going to guess you like how I look?" She turns around in a small circle for the parrot stallion with her medium-sized rainbow tail swishing playfully.
Tic Tac Toe pricks her ears forward as she finally realized what the stallion called her. "Sunny Rainbow.. I like that name!" She cocks her head to side and smiles widely at the stallion. "Can I get your name.. or do I have to tickle you just to get it?" She teases playfully. Rein_Carnation He couldn't resist extending his winged appendages to show himself off like a big parrot. Still grinning he watched her with deep widened brown eyes in amazement at how she shined.
Clearing his throat he lowered his wings and nodded his head to her with a swish of his braided tail. "I am Zaribe of the jungle... heh but you can call me Zaribe or whatever you'd like. I won't lie when I admit you you are quite stunning" he smiled still intaking all that color.
Doing his own little show he walked in his own circle trying to show off every color that lie over his entire form. Usually he'd pick at unwanted feathers but for now he wanted to make a good impression.
"So Sunny Rainbow what is your name?" he queried noticing the strange marks upon her rumps and wondered what they were. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe's eyes widen in approval and pleasure at Zairbe's wings and colorations. "Wow! You have really big wings and very beautiful colors!" She exclaims and she cocks her head when she looks at his braided tail in fascination.
"Zairbe of the jungle..." The mare echoes as she grins at the stallion. "That is one very long name!" She beams as she steps closer to him. "Thank you!! You are the first stallion to say that... " She smiles more widely. "but again.. you are the first stallion I ever met in my lifetime." She blushes lightly as she giggles at his display of his colors and body.
"Tic Tac Toe... but you can call me Tic or Sunny Rainbow if you want to." Tic looks at the stallion with an eager expression on her face before she follows his gaze to the mark on her rump. "Oh..." She chuckles as she wiggles her rump playfully. "Two-legger drew that on me when I was a foal and called me Tic Tac Toe.. and it stuck." She explained. Rein_Carnation Evaluating the cheery brightness in her voice his heart beat with curiousity.
He adored the color yellow, this he realized after meeting with Chaser and Barra. But for some reason this particular mare was shiny and bright like a combination of the two things he admired.
As she admired him his ego swelled to the highest points. He adored admiration from another be they mare or stallion. Anyone that could take a liking to this flamboyant stallion was something of his interest.
"Sunny rainbow is my preferred name since you remind me of one. But Tic Tac is really cute as well" he grinned still puzzled by her rump symbol, "What does that mean? I've seen other mares with things like pictures but not knowing what they mean" he tilted his head watching her.
Feeling a bit daft he grinned like an idiot. "Hey two-leggers like giving out food. They draw pretty pictures too?" he smiled and chuckled wondering if the maiden back home would do the same for him. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe beams widely at Zairbe, and she feels like she could like him right away. She giggles as she admires the stallion more as she realizes that he is just as silly like her and he is flamboyant which is a HUGE bonus for her.
"Umm.... I am not sure." Tic Tac Toe murmurs as she looks at the marking on her rump thoughtfully. "I have seen two two-leggers draw that mark on the ground.. I am guessing it is a game for them to play and amuse themselves." She blinks widely as she smiles teasingly at Zairbe. "Perhaps they should have drawn rainbow and sun on my rump instead!" She laughs as she does a little excited step with her front hooves.
"Yes. My two-legger LOVES to draw pictures on the ground or in the sand. You definitely need to meet her, she will love you!" She excitedly exclaims as she beams eagerly at Zairbe. "But I do not think you need any kind of mark or picture on your body.. you are already perfect as you are!" She nips at his wings playfully and prances around in front of him. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe beams widely at Zairbe, and she feels like she could like him right away. She giggles as she admires the stallion more as she realizes that he is just as silly like her and he is flamboyant which is a HUGE bonus for her.
"Umm.... I am not sure." Tic Tac Toe murmurs as she looks at the marking on her rump thoughtfully. "I have seen two two-leggers draw that mark on the ground.. I am guessing it is a game for them to play and amuse themselves." She blinks widely as she smiles teasingly at Zairbe. "Perhaps they should have drawn rainbow and sun on my rump instead!" She laughs as she does a little excited step with her front hooves.
"Yes. My two-legger LOVES to draw pictures on the ground or in the sand. You definitely need to meet her, she will love you!" She excitedly exclaims as she beams eagerly at Zairbe. "But I do not think you need any kind of mark or picture on your body.. you are already perfect as you are!" She nips at his wings playfully and prances around in front of him. Rein_Carnation He grinned like an entranced idoit being praised and highly adored which set his head buzzing like the contentness of a billion fiireflies deep in the summertime. She was so incredibly bright in those brown one's of his as he watched her prance around playfully.
"You don't think I need one?" he queried craning his neck around to gaze upon his broad rump, "Well it is kind of plain though. No rump magic" he chuckled and turned to stick his tongue out at her. Zaribe always was a kid at heart and he'd openly admit it. Like his sister he loved playing games and showing off for it best described him of who he truly was. Though she couldn't fly he didn't mind, for it seemed that he was mainly attracted to the earth walkers over the fliers. Perhaps it was his background and upbringing that made him seek something more ravishingly and fair in those roving eyes of his.
Prancing about he playfully nipped at her shoulder, though not harshly, more of a tap in response to her own. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe laughs as she could see that he is very pleased and happy about the compliments she have been feeding her. She is determined to continue to flatter him because she wanted him to stick around because she wants to be his friend. They have clicked right away and she don't want to lose that 'click'.
The mare laughs as she shakes her head at Zairbe. "You are perfect.. the colors on you, the wings, the personality!! I really love your appearance and personality. But The two-legger could draw a temporary 'rump magic' for you. Perhaps...." She thinks as she looks at his rump then she grins playfully. "A rainbow and sun so everybody will know that you are mine!" She laughs as she is obiviously teasing about the rainbow and sun part.
Tic Tac Toe laughs as her shoulder gets nipped, she moves her body away before she playfully trots toward his rump and nips him right there. "Nice rump, by the way!" She giggled.
Rein_Carnation The word "rump magic" made him grin like an idiot. Now he wanted some two-legger to offer handouts and rump magic all at the same time. He loved attention and this "Sunny Rainbow" was icing on the cake. While other mares appeased his curiousity and boredom Tic-Tac was doing much more. Oh how he wished he could sweep her off her feet (in a lyrical sense of course) and stay at her side. Never before had he graced anyone with such allure and silliness as his own sister. There was something to keep an eye on and watch for signals all at the same time.
Once again he looked at his rump grinning picturing what symbol he'd prefer. One with a big cloud and a rainbow with the sun peeking out came to mind at her lyrical words that played in his head like a picture book.
"Hmm I like that. Now I need a Sunny rainbow on my rump so I can be just like you" he chuckled swinging his rump playfully back and forth as he leaned forward almost in a begging type pose. Looking at her slyly he grinned "Yours isn't half bad either.... " With another nudge he nipped her again then shook his tail. "I like being with you. You make me forget I was bored earlier". Holding his head high he pranced about her extending his wings and flicking his tail. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe laughs as she could see his grin widely when she said something along the line of 'rump magic'. She giggles as she circles around him, admiring his vivacious colors and personality. The wings on this particular stallion was a bonus because she have this inane fascination with the wings and bright colors. So she is very positively thrilled to meet him because she is having so much fun fooling around with him.
The mare stares at Zairbe when he looks at his rump then bursts out laughing at his comment. "Yep Yep!! I think it will look very adorable against your bright red rump." Her eyes dances with laughter as she watches him shake his rump before she nips at his rump playfully. 'I don't have anything to give you for shaking your rump.. perhaps an apple when I find it?" She laughs once again. "Hey!" She protests playfully as she gets nudged before she nips back. "I think my rump looks very good with that mark." She sticks her tongue out as she rears up and drapes her arms over his neck grinning. "That is great! I am glad I could help." She giggles and nips at his ear. When he started to prance around, she squeaks and giggles while bunny-hopping along so she won't fall off. Rein_Carnation Zaribe chortled as he paraded around carrying his passenger willingly. She was laughing as was he which is what the best things in life are all about. Grinning from ear to ear he shook his rump like a conga line dancer. Nodding his head he danced playfully keeping note if she was falling off at anytime. Heck even his sister didn't make him this giddy through their childhood.
"Rump magic you and I" he sang in a silly manner laughing all the more, "Rainbows and sunshine" turning he glanced at her his eyes gleaming with his admiration for things he never knew possible. She was a teacher and he a student right at this time and frankly it was just plain fun. leaning toward her he snuck in a quick nuzzle then grinned. "So Sunny rainbow what other things do you find as fun as these? I'm all open to any suggestions as long as you're there to teach me".
Not realizing it the stallion bathed in scarlet and crimson was beginning to loose himself which was something he wasn't aware of just yet. There was something about this particular mare that peaked his interest and agreed he really did like her. Caitlyn Hellstorm "Cha Cha cha cha!!" The mare sang as they pranced around acting like conga dancers and she laughs once again in pleasure. She contiunes to bunny-hop along and she tries to wiggle her rump at the time. "Cha cha cha! Lets shake our rumps! Lets shake our rumps!" She sang once again before she buries her face in his mane giggling more.
Tic Tac Toe tilts her head back and sang with laughing voice "Let the rump magic take us awaaaaay!!" She looks back at Zairbe with laughing eyes as she smiles at him, looking like a filly at the moment. When the stallion snuck in a nuzzle. "Heeee-eey!! don't sneak it in.. just do this." She leans over and nuzzles his cheek. "Nothing wrong with showing affection! We all only get to live once so lets just..." She gave him a hug (or at least tried to). "Enjoy it as much as we can!"
Tic Tac Toe smiles at Zairbe before she wiggles off his neck, looking at him. "You are doing just wonderfully! Just don't take everything serious.. enjoy the life.. be a foal!" She exclaims with a laugh and bounds around him to demonstrate that it is always better to be silly and don't take everything too seriously. "But you are doing wonderfully at that." She smiles when she stops bounding around and is face to face with him. Rein_Carnation Zaribe stared into those inncocent eyes and felt a slight shudder like nothing ever before. What was it about this one from all the rest. Shaking off that wierd urge he grinned and became himself again. "Be a foal again. I don't think I've ever lost that nest feeling from home. Those trees were so much bigger than our mom and dad." he chuckled melting into her eyes as he reminiced about being in those spacious giants that kept him safe.
The thought occured to him for a moment if she had a mate or was possily looking for one but yet he pushed that thought in a safe place. Getting your hopes up and letting then shatter on the hard ground was worse than breaking one's wing. So he decided to get to know her better in any way he could just to hang onto the notion.
"Gee all this rump magic is making me hungry. How about you Sunny rainbow?" he queried grinning widely like an idot. Leaning over for a moment he yanked a less than average feather from his wing sitting just off centered from where it was meant to be. For an istant he pondered tossing it like always but the smooth colors of blue, red, and yellow lie predominately on this certain one. Thinking for a moment without hestitation he leaned upwards and nestled the feather in Tic's mane so it would'nt fall out. Smiling he watched her still feeling strange but happy she looked even more dazzling with his own personal touch. Now if only she could paint rump magic on him then they'd be the perfect pair.

{PRP} The Parrot meets the Sunny RainbowCaitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe smiles as she looks in the parrot stallion's eyes and she felt all warm and fuzzy inside. She tries not to blush as she giggles, looking away and looks around at the surrounding trees and foliage. "Yeah..." She laughs as she grins playfully at Zaribe. "Everything was so huge when we were foals but now they seemed to be either small or just.. 'eh'. " She chuckles softly as she looks back into Zairbe's eyes and she couldn't help but to blush.
The yellow mare shakes her head to move her hair from one side to other and she crosses her eyes when a small patch of her rainbow hair falls in her face. She tries to toss her head back to get the hair to go behind her ears and won't get in her eyes. She tries to blow the hair over her ear but it failed so she just looks at Zairbe with a smile on her face. "I am starved! Lets find something to eat yes?" She smiles before her eyes widens in silent protest when she saw the stallion yank the feather out. She stares at the feather helplessly before she finds herself smiling widely when he put the feather in her hair. "Thank you!!" She happily says as she nuzzles him automatically muzzle to muzzle. Rein_Carnation He grinned happy to oblige in creating an even more beautiful array of beauty that lied within one shining gorgeous mare. A single feather painted in his own likeness lay now nesteled in tresses of rainbow silky allure.
Food. Oh how he loved to forage and beg for morsals filled with corn cakes, apples, grasses, and even those delectable sugarplums that Shaylee was highly fond of.
"Food yes what kind of food I shall find for us" he noted puffing out his grand set muscled chest. He could at this moment be one of those so-called knights in shining armor and be even more helpful to this lovely maiden placed in his presence.
He snuck in once more and nuzzled her with a soft smile then grinned with a laugh that sounded more like a raspy squak of a huge uncorrdinated bird.
"All right then what does this hungry sunny rainbow desire? Apples, corn cakes, sugarplums? Do tell and well find some." he pranced about feeling even more giddy everytime he sneaked in a nuzzle or two. Heck after awhile he wouldn't sneak and simply surprise her. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe giggles as she sees him puffing his chest out and she couldn't help but to blush at the grand display of his strong chest. She titters as she giggles once again when she realizes what she was doing, and her eyes was bright with laughter. Tic's eyes widen slightly as she wonders what kind of the food she should ask for and her mouth forms into a small 'o'.
But Zairbe's nuzzling brought her out of her little world as she blushes and giggles while nuzzling back happily. "Ummm... sugarplums? What is that?" She looks at the stallion confusedly as she squints her eyes at him, trying to remember what it is but she is coming up empty on that. Tic giggles as she watches Zairbe prance around and sneak in nuzzles here and there and she tries to nuzzle back as much as she could as well. A laughter bubbles out of her as she prances around him as well. "Surprise me with food, Zairbe! I love being surprised!" Rein_Carnation The proud stallion pranced about pondering a rightful meal for one as bright as she who was named "Sunny Rainbow" by his own words. What to give her that would be a treat and surfice hunger all in the same he wondered. Sugarplums were along the way to the teeppee where his usual begging time was about to occur. What would it hurt to bring along his beautiful lady friend and impress the two-legger for a special snack. Grinning widely he nodded to her words with an anxious wink.
"My rainbow we shall have a nice buffet coutesy of the two-legger that usually treats me. Today is honey corncakes and fresh berries for a nice and tasty treat. And afterwards we can have those sugarplums. What do you say? Sound good?" he asked with his deep brown eyes lying fixed upon her radiant smile.
Flicking his tail he nodded and looked toward the direction of the teepee, already the faint aroma of spring honey corncakes was tickling his nose. Caitlyn Hellstorm The child-like mare watches the stallion with laughing eyes as she smiles widely at him affectionately. Tic ponders on what he will be bringing to her so she could munch on. Her ears swivels around as she hears the birds singing and her dark red eyes looks at Zairbe with a bashful glint in them. More she spend time with him, more deeper she fall for him but she couldn't let him know because she is still so confused.
Tic murmurs happily as she hears that she is going to have a nice buffet and her eyes lits up along with her expression. "Oh yes, Zairbe! It sounds amazing!" She exclaims excitedly as she dances around in the spot before she playfully nudges Zairbe. "Lead the way! I could not wait to try those yummy food you have told me about!" She smiles widely as she bounds around the stallion. Rein_Carnation Zaribe couldn't help but trumpet like a proud stallion flicking his tail for her as he nodded setting his plan in motion "Okies then first we'll start with the two-legger's gifts... Then we'll find the desert in the orchard down the way" he nodded with a wide smile.
Admiring her ambition to follow he stretched out his head and ruffled his wings, stretching them as he set forth. Food was sounding really wonderful right now, so much in fact it made him salivate.
Prancing about he nuzzled her once more, "Just think... yummy food and a spending time with me, Bet you couldn't ask for more huh Sunny rainbow?" he chirped with another nuzzle then finally set out prancing along letting those feathered hooves dance on their own. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe's ears pricks up hopefully, hoping that the two-legger will like her as she giggles at Zairbe. "That would be a wonderful idea, Zairbe!" She trots after the proud stallion with a huge smile on her face. She is certainly enjoying her time with the parrot stallion.
The mare continues to trot along next to the stallion and recieved a nuzzle from him. She smiles at him as she giggles automatically at his question. "Mmhmm! It is like a taste of paradise.. being here with you, being spoiled by food and playtime. What more could a mare like me could ask?" She excitedly says as she moves closer toward prancing stallion laughing at his antics. "Silly stallion! I hope you don't change in future" She says with a smile on her face. She nips at his rump before she playfully runs ahead of him. "Catch me if you caaaaaaaaaaan!!!" She shouts over her shoulder. Rein_Carnation He chased after her like a puppy wanting to play so badly snorting with a great toss of his mane, as his prismatic feathers gleamed in the warming sunlight. The smell beconed him as his play mode also did (oh the decisions). Noticing Tirranna walking out with a strange thing in her hands he frowned, possibly wasn't the food for him as it always was. Whatever was he going to do if his whole good sided nature was overthrown to show this lovely sunny rainbow the best in eating. Shaking his head he neighed rather loudly letting each sound carry with a rumble in his deep throat, accompanied by a swift pawing of the ground. Surely she wouldn't forget the most beautiful and sweetest soquili around with feathers like his.Tirranna stopped in mid stride to notice the usual beggar who had brought a stunning lady friend with him this very day. He always amused the maiden to no end how he begged for handouts, making it her duty to always bake extra corncakes. Clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth she smiled at the gorgeous mare. (What a pair they made in colors combined with one another.) Reaching out her hands she attempted to pet the pretty mare and hope she would respond in the same likeness of the stallion. Thinking to herself, "Its good I made extra today Colorful bird (a pet name she'd given him) otherwise your lady friend would be sore at you. Ah very well let me get your cakes after i see if she takes to humans.) Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe laughs as she gets chased by Zairbe then she swiftly turns around when she hears his neighing and the two legger. It was obvious that Zairbe knows that two legger because he looks like he is begging for food. Her orangish red eyes gleams with excitement as she trots over to those two, whickering curiously at the two legger. The mare looks at Tirranna with a smile on her face and she makes curious murmuring sound deep in her throat when Tirranna petted her.
The petting certainly felt good as she leans against the petting, making happy noises and she nips at the female's hair curiously. Tic cocks her head to side as Tirranna speaks to Zairbe and she tries not to giggle. She couldn't be sour with the two legger if she didn't make extra corncakes to give Tic some. She nudges Tirranna playfully and nickers gently at her. Rein_Carnation Tirrana giggles knowing full well this one was brought up with others of the tribe. That was an incentive to create extra special cakes for the two (wondering if this female was the stallion's chosen favorite of one's he'd met). Hugging the mare she looked deeply at the stallion almost in a stern face which she held her amusement very well.
"Colorful Bird. You know begging is bad yet you do so everyday. Have you no sorrow I work extra hard for you?" she noted with a bop of her hand lightly on his nose, "Now I will fetch your cakes and make them extra sweet for you and your lady friend" (gorgeous mare) she thought to herself as a smile curved upon her pretty lips.Zaribe blinked shying slightly as she bopped him on the nose letting loose a small whinny in surprise. Sometimes that two-legger was so hard to read, but her smile gave away the fact she was simply teasing. Grinning with a long swish of his braided tail, he leaned over and nipped Tic's mane and withers playfully, followed by a snort. "See told you she'd like you. Now we can eat lots of yummy food. Corncakes with honey and melted butter are simply enough to make you fall over" he whickered to her with a wink, " And no.... even my sister would tell you I'd never change". Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe nickered in surprise when Tiranna hugged her around the neck but she makes happy murmuring sounds and she nickers at the human. Her eyes widen in shock as she sees the stern look on Tiranna's face but she giggles when she sees that the human is just teasing. The mare smiles widely at the human before she looks at Zairbe when her mane gets nipped at. "I hope I did this right." She says in sheepish manner as she cocks her head to side. "She is the first two legger to come near me." She admits.
Her ears immediately pricks up and her eyes widen in pleasure at the prospect of enjoying yummy food that is being provided by a two-legger. She dances around Zairbe excitedly and laughs at the winged male. "Good! Because I love you the way you are!" She grins at him as she drools at the thought of tasting delicious food. Rein_Carnation Zaribe grins all the more wider flicking his ears back and forth following the excitedness of Tic Tac. Everything was working to his liking and the two-legger was doing as exactly as he thought. Whinnying in almost a strange squaking noise he showed how happy he truly was. Pawing at the ground he nipped here and there at Tic grinning ear to ear.
"Well she is a nice two-legger and brings food, so she's alright in my book," he nodded with another wide swing of his long mane letting it sweep around him like a rainbowy arc.Tirrana watched the two momentarily before she walked out with warmed corncakes dribbled in sweet honey and a touch of butter. She adored the sweetness these two showed for each other, deciding that it was in her best interest to help the stallion anyway she could. So walking up to the two she held out her hands (corncakes in each), ans smiled at the two of them.Zaribe whickered at Tic Tac and leaned his head down to indulge, but stopped midway waiting for her.
"Ladies first Sunny Rainbow," he nickered with a wink. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe's ears swivels around as she hears a squawking noise from Zairbe, she looks at the stallion funnily before she bursts out laughing. The noise was very cute and funny, in her opinion as the mare squirms around as she gets nipped and she giggles at the sensations of the nipping. Tic smiles at the stallion while she paws at the ground. "She seemed to be very nice.. she love to spoil you with food. That is a huge bonus in my book." She laughs once again as she nuzzles his neck.
The mare instantly smells the food as she turns her head toward Tirrana while making curious snuffling noises. She leans her nose toward the corncake curiously and paused to see if Zairbe will eat but was taken back by his comment. She giggles as she carefully nibbles on the corncake and she immediately discovered that she loves the taste of sweet corncake so she indulges herself on the corncakes. "Dive in, Birdy!!" She says in between the bites. Rein_Carnation Zaribe grinned overjoyously that she was having such a wonderful time this glorious day. What more could he ever had wished for than his own sister laughing at his strange bird-like noises he could muster on a moment's notice. Finally he dove in himself nipping bits of corncake, slurping as a colt would on his first try. Then swallowing the whole thing downright with a deep exaled breath, "Oh yeah that's what life is all about Sunny Rainbow. See I told you how wonderful it is. Heck you sould come with me everyday at feeding time," he grinned flicking his braided tail back and forth.Tirranna noticed the curtousy of Zaribe to the pretty yellow mare, beaming like a little child. Of all the things that stallion could do to look more in a more dignified manner, till he swallowed his corncake like a common rate swine.
"Colorful bird you eat like a pig you do. In front of your lady friend as well," she shook her head laughing, "Maybe I should make more corncakes this week, for you might bring her back for seconds and thirds". She was so happy to see a pair that fit one another hoping that this friendship might blossom to even more some day. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe steps back from the human licking her muzzle, trying to get all of the honey and butter along with crumbs. "Mmm!!" She makes happy noises as she murmurs to Tirranna in agreeable manner. She pretends to look at Zairbe in stern manner before she busts out laughing, she leans over and licks his muzzle. "Silly birdy.... I don't think she would like it if I come along and beg for the food with you." She grins at Zairbe happily.
Tic Tac Toe cooes to the human as she nuzzles Tirranna's face gratefully and nickers in her face. Her rainbow tail swishes back and forth excitedly. "What now, Birdy?" She turns her head toward Zairbe with an excited smile on her face.

{PRP} The Parrot meets the Sunny RainbowRein_Carnation Birdy. That was the nickname she'd given him, same as Sunny Rainbow from his own vocabulary. It was cute and he admired it well with a great puff of his scarlet chest. Finishing up the last bit in his mouth he swallowed and spoke, "Next... Next. Oh hmm lets hit up that grove of the sugarplums" he nodded with a sly little grin, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander as they say."
Nudging Tirranna in thanks he whickered with that odd squak and turned towrd the area where the grove could be found. As long as that nutty flutter was head over heels with her infatuated ebony love, well there'd be no problem stealing one or two without kissing her bottom to take one.Tirranna noticed that sly little grin on the stallion and shook her head. It was now time to attend to the new mother named shining Star now that Colorful Bird had his fill on things to eat. Patting him lightly on the nose, she hugged Tic Tac and smiled.
Stepping backwards a bit she turned her walk towards the teepee wondering how Glory was doing this beautiful day. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe giggles as she notices the sly little grin. "You are familiar with human sayings, I have noticed!" She hums happily as she dances in front of Tirranna and Zairbe excitedly. "sugarplums? I bet its very sweet!!" She licks her lips before she laughs at the squawk. She follows Zairbe curiously as her tail flicks across her rump to bat the flies away.
"She is very nice!! How did you meet her, Birdy?" She inquires as she trots up to his side and nuzzles him affectionately.
Rein_Carnation "Sweetest you'll ever taste," he grinned with a sly look again shaking his head," Just uh beware the little purple bumblebee if she's hovering about." For a moment he had a nice little image posted within hi mind of being confronted by said bumblebee and laughed.
"As for the two-legger? Hmm don't really know. I'll just say she offered a snack and I've been coming back usually every day. Won't say she doesn't like my company, she's just excited since Cel's daughter had her foals the other day".
Prancing about he grinned and nuzzled her, "Shall we go and have ourselves a delicious desert? I wouldn't mind a quick dip down by the lake either since we're going to get really sticky? Whad'ya say?"
Spreading his wings he held them there in the sunlight basking himself like a great red bird. He felt so good about things and the fact she was there, and not even once had he even thought of being bored. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe's eyes widens lightly at the mention of little purple bumblebee. "There is a such thing as a purple bumblebee? I only have seen yellow and brown." She exclaims excitedly as she follows Zairbe curiously. Now she is very eager to see or meet this 'purple bumblebee' since she thinks its an actual bumblebee instead of a nickname for a flutter soquili.
"Oooh....I do have a two-legger but she tend to travel around so I don't really see her that much." Tic felt like she is obligated to tell Zairbe that as she tilts her head to side. "Oooh... foals? I will have to find a present for her and her foals then!" She beams widely.
"Mmm!! desert sounds very delicious right now!" The mare laughs as she grins at him before she nudges the stallion. "Dinner.. then desert.. then a swim.. it sounds like a date to me." She teases the stallion with a grin on her face. Rein_Carnation Zaribe chortled with a toss of his proud head, "A date? Hmm does it really? Never been on one before so I wouldn't know," he grinned with a sly little wink.
Were they really on a date? This intrigued him wondering what and how a date really did progress. This paused his thoughts momentarily to ponder everything.
Looking about he trotted forward taking great breaths into his lungs only to exhale afterwards. Shaylee the ever reprimand able bumblebee could be lurking anywhere, even that delicious sugarplum orchard she called her own. Stopping short he heard movement, halting quicky to avoid eye contact, snaking his head back and forth he stepped in front of Tic, "Beware, we've reached the lair of the infamous purple bumblebee".
Pawing the ground he moved his lips in a fidget smelling that wonderful aroma literally pass both of them by. Caitlyn Hellstorm "I wouldn't know either! I heard from my mare friends about this date so I don't know if its true or not."Tic says with a blush as she smiles shyly at Zairbe. She definitely does enjoy spending time with him and foresees that she will be doing more of that in the near feature.
Lost in her own small world of speculation and daydream, Tic didn't realize that they have arrived at the mouth of the orchard of the sugarplums before she felt herself bumping into Zairbe's body. She whickered slightly in surprise before she makes curious cooing sound. "purple bumblebee?" She says with a wide eyes, she cranes her neck to peer over Zairbe's body.
Her nostrils flares up as the sweet aroma virtually assaulted her nose and a small delighted noise escaped her throat. "Why can't we go in now?" Rein_Carnation Zaribe inhaled the air and paused with a grinding of his teeth, "Great. Why can't she be stalking that stallion she likes, "he mumbled under his breath.
Reassuring his Sunny Rainbow he nickered with a chuckle, nuzzling her playfully.
"You see Sunny Rainbow there resides a purple bumblebee," he announced quite loudly, "And she's quite cranky somedays".
He waited then for said creature to make her appearence since there was no use trying to sneak something out now.Poking its head out from a sugarplum tree a strange little mare blinked and frowned.
"Oh no not him. Why does it have to be Zaribe?" she muttered continuing to watch as her antennae bobbed in the passing breeze. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe makes a small 'o' with her mouth and gets nuzzled which immediately reassured her. She smiles at Zairbe before she tries not to giggle as he announced quite loudly about the purple bumblebee. The mare spotted a movement nearby and sees a little mare poke her head out. "Is that her?" Tic inquires as she nudges Zairbe's wing with her body curiously.
Tic wouldn't like to take sugarplums and anger any soquilis that either lives there or frequents there. Her orangish red eyes darts from Zairbe to the mare anxiously. Rein_Carnation Zaribe nodded with a solem face, "Yeah that's the bumblebee" he murmered with a sigh then grinned at the flutter, "Hello there Shaylee, my friend here has never tried sugarplums, fancy her with a taste perhaps" he noted with a wink to her.Shaylee hummed to herself before stepping out in the brillaint sunlight filtering around them. Smaller in comparison to even Tic, she walked up to them looking upward with little curious eyes. Upon her forehead grew wierd little antennae that bobbed along with her growing from the purple tresses curling around her neck in bouncy curls. Though upon her one wing was a bandage wrapped tightly as if to hide something.
"Never tried a sugarplum," she noted with eyes wide and shocked, "Well I can't let that go on you know, because sugarplums are the best thing in the world, "she motioned standing tall raising her head to look brave and bold, "But Zaribe... oh yes you birdbrain, what's your other motive for coming here hmm? Maybe eat all my sugarplums? Oh no... can't let that happen you know. One for each, maybe two for your lady friend if she really likes them, but one for you parrot boy."
She trotted over and stood on two hind legs reaching up ward to grab to of the more ripened ones.
"Ah here we go, "looking over toward Tic she asked kindly, "What's your name Sunny? Mine's Shaylee," she called over before reaching up for a decent looking ripe one. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic's eyes went wide in awe and surprise at Shaylee's appearance and she blinks rapidly. She was shocked to see that its not a bee bumblebee type she was expecting to see but a beautiful yet small mare with... bandaged wing? Her eyes narrows slightly in obvious concern as she looks at Shaylee then at Zairbe inquiringly. She is not sure if she should ask about the bandaged wing or not and she giggles at Shaylee's shock at the fact that she haven't ate a sugarplum before.
The mare smiles at Shaylee as she admires the 'purple bumblebee', she tentatively steps around her self-appointed guardian with a smile on her face. "Nice to meet you, Shaylee! I am Tic Tac Toe but everybody apparently like to call me Sunny." She laughs as she becomes more comfortable with talking with Shaylee. She nudges Zairbe and murmurs lightly, "She is very nice.. why do you not like her?" She slants her eyes toward Zairbe with an amused glint shining in her eyes. Rein_Carnation Shaylee nods and grins with wide little eyes, "I may be small but I'm fiesty, seems parrot boy here likes to mooch off of the sugarplums when I'm not here. I need to stand guard mwahahaha. Its very nice to meet you Tic Tac. Hey I like that name, Tic Tac... hee hee" feeling the urge her one wing fluttered where the other could not.
"Bah stupid wing," she muttered in a low pitiful tone, "This is what happens when you tick a swarm of those bees off, you get a hole in something that helps you to fly. Say do i still have those bumps all over me?" she queried reaching her neck around to see her hindquarters.Zaribe shook his head and frown at Tic, "She's just like that to me for some reason. I don't mooch food from here all the time, just when I get hungry" he nodded with a flutter of his own colorful winged appendages.
Turning to Tic he looked a little sheepish and lowered his head, "She's right, all I do is mooch food because I'm always hungry. Sighing in a deep grunt he turned to Shaylee, "Just give mine to Tic as well, I'll behave this time." Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe giggles at Shaylee as she smiles at the banter between Shaylee and Zairbe. Her eyes went wide as she looks at the female and she peers at the said rump. "Just few but they are disappearing, Shaylee. Maybe you can stay near the water and make sure the bees don't do this to you again?" She says in concerned manner.
The mare blinks owlishly at Zairbe as she hears that he is not going to get sugarplums. "But, Zairbe!" She protests as she pouts lightly. "I would feel guilty for taking your sugarplums. Plus I thought this is supposed to be... a date?" She teases the bird stallion. She glances at Shaylee and smiles lightly. "Is your wings all right?" Rein_Carnation "It hurts like an a pain in the tush though. Its healing soon so I'll be flying in no time." she notted preening herself with a puffed chest. Eyes sidling on Zaribe she gained a coy smile, "Date huh? Oooh really... Hey now don't be dissing the pretty lady rumpshaker. Eat your sugarplums and have a good time." she winked with her head tilted toward him.Zaribe grinned at Shaylee though eyed her suspiciously. What was that crazy flutter up to anyway he wondered.
Turning back to Tic the scarlet stallion puffed his own chest out.
"All right fine... see" he motioned w ith a rump wiggle before he gobbled the entire sugarplum up in one bite.
Turning back to Shaylee he snorted, "Where did you get that name from?" still licing his lips, "Man these are good. Go on Sunny Rainbow and have something sweet as you are." he commented nuzzling her with his sticky chin.Shaylee chuckled to herself reaching up for one of her own. She may of been tiny compared to Zaribe, but boy could she pack in the food. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe gave Shaylee an apologic look before she blinks at another name that was being given to her. Her eyes went wide slightly and she looks at Zairbe in confusion. "Rumpshaker?" She mouthes the word to the bird boy before she chuckles and moves tentatively toward some sugar plums.
The mare nibbles on the sugarplum and she moans in sheer pleasure as the sweet and sticky flavor explodes in her mouth. The juices dribbles down her chin as she chews happily on the sugarplum then she nabs another one happily. "MMM!!! This is a piece of heaven!" She cries out happily as she licks her muzzle clean after she ate the second sugar plum. "I wish I could have more..." She eyes rich sugarplums speculatively with hunger glinting in her eyes. Rein_Carnation Zaribe nearly sweatdropped at the little flutter calling him a 'rumpshaker'.
What kind of crack was little miss hyper on this day anyway. No matter she was being nice to Tic and that was all that mattered, and for that he was happy. He really liked that sunny colored mare dipped in the escence of a rainbow that flowed over her neck and backside gorgeously.
He preened himself nipping at another feather, settling it straight as it should be. Annoying as it was Zaribe found it a hobby to be as picky as he was. And why not... he was gorgeous afterall and admired by a pretty girl, course he had to look his best in plummage and personality. Boy would Zi pick on him if she found out he was becoming another 'pretty boy" again.
His thoughts turned back to Tic and the sugarplums. Licking his lips he salivated wanting more (best batch this year). Smiling coyly he looked at the flutter with sad ridiculous eyes."Shaylee look I'm sorry about being such a birdbrain and a pest all this time. Would you forgive me by granting us say two sugarplums each. I mean if its no so much trouble with the way you've been raising them and all. Really delicious ones this year."
Shaylee eyed him funny with a twitch to her ear. Was he being really nice or was she hallucinating and becoming senile in her age. She paused a moment then grinned, "Yeah sure. I like when everyone likes my sugarplums" she nodded leaning up to grab two more for Tic then Zaribe, "But uhh don't mooch like you used to, makes it look worse than me".

{PRP} The Parrot meets the Sunny RainbowCaitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe tries not to chuckle at Zairbe's actions and his look toward Shaylee. She giggles as she shakes her head in amusement before she tosses her mane from one side to other while she watches Shaylee retrieve another two. "Thank you, Shaylee." She beams happily at the flutter before she takes one of the sugarplums in her mouth.
A happy noise escapes her throat as juices dribbles down her chin and she takes her time chewing before she reach down for another sugarplum. "MMMMM.... you grow this?" Tic says with an admiring gleam in her eyes that is aimed toward Shaylee. Rein_Carnation Zaribe grinned back at the effervescent flutter knowing that was a horrible joke upon her self, in good game though. Shaylee could definitely be more of a mooch than anyone when she wanted to be."Grow them?" she giggled in spite of herself, "Nah I just watch over them. They were here long before that storm blew me into this valley. Hee hee been here ever since, I like it here."
It was actually true, the words the purple flutter agreed with. A little over a year ago she nimbly was pushed directly into the clearing from the storm that passed. Simply a present for everyone it seemed. Rather that was a good present or a bad one, Celendria accepted the sleek little flutter into the herd.
She watched the two of them, her eyes sparkling with pure happiness. Zaribe munched his own wondering why time was flying so fast since he was with Tic. Why soon the night would fall and she would have to leave he supposed. Not every mare would ever dream of spending the night with a stallion they just met.
So he bit his pride and craned his head over to nuzzle the sunny rainbow he so admired.
"Day is wearing thin my Sunny Rainbow.. suppose we should get cleaned up down at the stream? I'm sure Shaylee is being pestered enough by us being here." he frowned with a certainty yet had a smile in his eyes.Shaylee perked her eyes first to speak then stopped and nodded, "Umm yep you guys will get super sticky if you stay that way. Not good on the fur at all". Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic was nibbling on her last sugarplum while hearing Shaylee's comment then she looks at Zaribe when he nuzzled her. She murmurs happily. "I am glad you like it here, Shaylee! You did wonderful job watching over those delicious sugarplums" She beams at the flutter before she looks at Zaribe in disappointed manner. "Yeah.. then we can find a place to sleep for night together." She smiles in hopeful manner as she moves over to give Shaylee a grateful nuzzle. "Thanks, Shaylee.. its very nice meeting you!"
Tic moves back toward Zaribe then she tucks herself under his wing, and looks up at him. "Lets get us clean and find a place to sleep unless you object about me staying with you overnight..?" She looks at him with a slight frown on her face. Rein_Carnation His heart pounded hearing Zi's accusing little wing tap upon his shoulder.
Did she say overnight?
Well this was so sudden to the flamboyant stallion that a mare actually trusted him. Literally, his heart was leaping for joy as with the rumbling in his chest. She did! She said she wanted to stay with him. But, where to go? What to do? He mind whirled merrily with so many questions he thought his contemplations to eventually explode.
It was nice having her under his wing, so nice and warm she was, and yet so irresistably bright and comforting.
"Staying with me? Oh that's great Sunny Rainbow. I know the warmest spot too. Like to stand or lie down when you sleep?" he asked with a great amount of happiness, "I'll protect you from all those dangerous creatures that scurry at night. Sides I have a nice wing that's warm and will keep you safe."
He trumpeted in his words. How could he not having a mare finally trust him.
"Off to get a bath then. Stickiness is matting my fur and the sun is setting." he nodded turning to head down to the river, "Oh and Shaylee thanks" he smiled with a wink before walking off with his lady friend under his wing.Shaylee smiled wryly at Zaribe and nodded her head in long sweeps, "Bye Bye you two have fun" she whinnied with a twinkle in her eye before she paused, "Oh and Zaribe? Don't do anything I wouldn't do kay"? Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe giggles at Zaribe before she blinks in surprise at Shaylee. Her mouth forms a small 'o' of surprise but she chose not to comment because the stickiness is really bugging her right now. She nods at the male before she nudges him playfully. "Come on, I don't want to spend hours and hours next day unsticking the matted fur from my skin." She crinkles her nose up at the thought of that.
Tic Tac Toe suddenly bursts out from under Zaribe's wing laughing. "Race you!!" She shouts over her shoulder as she runs in the direction of the river. Rein_Carnation He grinned at her tossing his head before thundering after.
"Later Shayleeeeeeeeee" he called back still grinning as he followed after Tic. He too was sticky and needed a bath badly.
Shaylee amused chuckled and went to seeing her trees. She loved the fact that stallion was a goofball, annoying yes but he was worth a good chuckle anyway.Zaribe smelled it long before it hit. How wierd it could be sunny and rainy the next. Trotting up to her he grinned, "Seems the sky don't like us sticky either" he chuckled picking up the pace to pass her a little smelling the lake dead ahead.
What was a little rain water going to matter. Always made Zaribe feel refreshed with the massaging of his deep shoulders. Caitlyn Hellstorm When the skies opened up and let the rain fall, Tic suddenly stops in her track and tilts her head up toward the beating rain. When she realizes that Zairbe have passed her, she trots once again to catch up with him. "Good.. they can help us getting our coats clean!" She giggles as she dances around Zairbe.
"I smell the water..." The mare says as she nips at Zairbe's rump playfully as she picks her pace up from ground-slapping trot to ground-eating canter, her rainbow mane and tail flew behind her like stream of rainbow sparkling with hidden sunshine.They arrived at the lake, fooled around (splashing and played games) and bathed. They chatted and found a place to stay for a night. The end (will make the conclusion more better )

[PRP] Paint me a rainbow (Tic and Zairbe) Thu Jul 19, 2007 Caitlyn Hellstorm The sun begun to rise over the horizon, causing the light to shoot up into the skies and the creatures began to stir. Tic was curled up against Zairbe in a very comfortable alcove where it sheltered them both from the weather and the predators. Tic opens her eyes as she stretches her body out before she squeaks when she finds herself face to face with a grinning native american female. She threw her head back and got up on her feet then bumped into Zairbe nervously.Siryn cocks her head to side as she looks at the couple. "Rainbow.." She says in a gentle voice as she holds out a basket of apples she was harvesting nearby. "They were right.. if I followed the rainbow.. I will find a pot of gold.." She teases Tic before she looks up at Zairbe. "Is this your boyfriend?" She conversationally says as she moves away from the alcove while her ebony braided hair swings slightly from side to side when she walks over to the tree so the pair could have some space. Rein_Carnation Zaribe was dreaming he thought. A beautiful creature falling in love with him that shone like a sun adorned with a rainbow band that shimmered and danced beneath his watchful eyes. They played, enjoyed sugarplums from Shaylee's grove, and bathed in the stream combined with the summer rain.
It was a fantastic dream he chuckled, if only it were real.
The sun was rising as his eyes fluttered heavily still groggy from this vast dream. Something squeaked and sharply snapped him out of dreamland causing a grunt and a scattering of primary colored feathers to flit towards the ground.
His eyes opening widely he noted that was no dream, for Tic scampered from fright of something. Immediately he sprung to his feet with a deeper grunt noting the girl that walked away. Instinctively, Zaribe nuzzled her and snorted sniffing the air.
"Tic? You all right?" he questioned as his ears swiveled back and forth.
His dream was reality, and well he was quite happy, though being woken before time had him startled and a bit flighty. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic takes in a deep breath as she turns around to nuzzle Zaribe to make sure that he is all right. "I am fine.. my two-legger startled me thats all." She smiles shakily at Zaribe before she moves out of the alcove slowly. "Come on.. I think she would love to meet you, parrot." She flashed a grin at him over her shoulder to show him that it will be ok. The mare trots over to Siryn and nickered before she noses the girl's side playfully.Siryn giggles as she hears the mare nickering and 'talking' to Zaribe, and she smiles before she turns around slowly so she won't spook the parrot stallion. She shifts the basket of apples from one side of the hips to other and smiles at them. The girl laughs as the mare nudged her and she stumbles side way slightly before she picks up two most ripest apples. "Do you want apple, rainbow? do your friend want one?" She smiles at them. Rein_Carnation Zaribe assured himself things were well following after his sunny rainbow like a puppy in tow. Swishing his tail he wandered toward the two, nostrils intaking the scents and sights around him. Yawning yet again he showed his teeth by pulling his lips back as he came up to meet them. Eyes still dazed from the nice long rest fluttered now and then lidding his deep brown eyes.
He in took a breath blowing outward through his nose noticing the apples the two legger was toting with her. Snapping to attention he made a hungry sound by smacking his lips against one another.
The subject of breakfast was making his ordeal a little less than it had began. If this person was offering food, he's gladly accept. With a whinny in his deep throated nature he nodded his head, "I want one". Caitlyn Hellstorm Siryn giggles as the stallion made hungry noises and she holds the apple out on her palm. "Parrot... come and get your apple." She says in gentle voice before she laughs when Tic tries to nab another apple from the basket. "Rainbow.. wait for your turn, silly mare." She giggles as she lets the basket down on the ground then she pets the mare's nose with her free hand. "Is this your boyfriend, rainbow? do I need to make baskets for you guys soon?" She teases the mare while her eyes sparkles with laughter. Tic nibbles on the apple that was offered to her and she giggles at Zaribe. "Then get one, this two-legger might wont be around after next moon cycle so we need to enjoy as much food as she is willing to give us." The mare murmurs as the apple juice dribbles down her muzzle. She finishes off her apple and she went for another one but she made disappointed noise when Siryn moved the basket out of the way but to her delight, it was placed in front of those two. "Yay!! More food for us!" She exclaims happily as she nabs another apple from the basket.Rein_Carnation At first the bold red stallion flocked in a macaw's coloring paused, uneasy to accept. He wasn't fond of many two leggers yet this one was Tic's caretaker. Wasn't she the one that made the pretty painting on Tic's rump that he liked, the parrot wondered.
So sucking it up with his pride he eagerly accepted the apple willingly with a hearty crunch enjoying the sweet juice of summer apples.
The stallion moved over beside his yellow beauty grabbing another just to hear it crunch between his teeth watching the two-legger curiously. Nosing over he nipped playfully at Tic's mane then butted her rump where the symbol lied. Perhaps if he could point out that the symbol was interesting, well maybe the girl would paint one on him too.
Tossing his head he swayed his rump back and forth. Occasionally he flicked his tail with a snort. It almost appeared that his feet could dance as his body wiggled and moved smoothly. It was always known that soquili of his nature could never stand still too very long or maybe he was really excited and having a good time. The only one that could tell you of course was the parrot stallion. Caitlyn Hellstorm Siryn smiles as she watches the soquilis in front of her, she knows that the stallion is little leery of her and she doesn't want to do anything to cause him to run away. "Its very delicious, yes?" She murmurs lightly to the parrot stallion and her nose crinkles in amusement as she watches the stallion's antics. The native american female nods gently as she gestures to the symbol. "You want one, stallion?" She says in amused manner before she gestures to the symbol then she points to his own rump. "I can try my best to paint something on you. What kind of picture do you want?" Tic is already on her third apple before Siryn discreetly moves the basket away from the soquilis but she doesn't mind because she already filled her tummy with delicious apples. She knows that she can get more if she works for it. A gentle murmur escapes this mare's muzzle as she reaches forward with her apple juice-drenched muzzle and lips at Siryn's hair. She giggles as Zaribe nipped at her mane and she danced away from him playfully but allowed him headbutt her in her rump which caused her symbol to show more vividly toward Siryn. She turns her head over her shoulder curiously and nickers at Zaribe. "You cheeky stallion.." She laughs.Rein_Carnation Zaribe grinned widely at Tic with his own apple juice medley running down his chin. He chuckled at Tic with a wry smile, "cheeky am I? Wonder what she's saying?" he noted with his eyes lying upon the human creature with two legs.
He nodded his head to the girl hoping her comment was merely on the apples. She mentioned something about his rump, but what she said the stallion could not fathom. It wasn't the fact Zaribe was a dense one, he just didn't comprehend the tongue of the humans that clearly.
Her pointing to the symbol made the parrot boy stretch his head out to better glimpse at Tic's rump. Maybe she wanted to paint him up as well. He wondered with curiosity bobbing his head up and down even more so than before. Caitlyn Hellstorm Siryn giggles as she moves her head away from Tic's wet muzzle and she slowly reaches up and pets the velvety muzzle of Tic's affectionately. "What about..." She pauses as she looks at Tic Tac Toe then at Zaribe. "A rainbow yes? since I think you guys are a very cute couple.." She grins as she slowly reaches her hand out toward Zaribe's rump. "Rainbow.. and parrot.. perhaps." She murmurs half to herself while looking at his rump thoughtfully. "I think she is talking about what to put on your rump?" Tic says in curious manner as she cranes her neck over to see what Siryn is doing after her muzzle get petted. "Maybe she will give you something that will make you even more colorful." She smiles while looking at the stallion before she makes small series of nickering, whickering toward Siryn to amuse the two legger.
Tic dances around the two legger and she flashes a almost flirtatious yet playful look over her shoulder at Zaribe. "Rainbow and Parrot.. I like that.. perhaps she could paint something like that." She looks at Zaribe with a grin on her face.Rein_Carnation Zaribe grinned tossing his head head letting a primary rainbow spill out around him. Looking eager he whickered deep in his throat excited to be "painted" like Tic. To be 'just like her' he wondered with an almost dreamy pondering. There was definitely something about her, an almost connected feeling when he was near this bright mare harvesting such color he could ever dream about. He'd grown quite fond of this beauty in their time together. Fun, happiness, playful moments that seemed endless when she was around. Only once did he yawn when the day gave into night, leaving him nestled around her protectively.
Was it truly normal to think of your friend that way?
"About my rump?" he repeated gazing at her lovely one, "Hmm that will be fun". he chuckled wiggling his for pure attention.
He shook the thought gazing at her with a deep mischievous smile. What would this girl paint on him? A rainbow as bright as Tic? Or perhaps white fluffy clouds that danced in the sky above their heads maybe? Whatever it was he'd show it off proudly in any case. He wanted to look good in front of her his head swimming with so many ideas. Looking back at Tic he grinned back with his usual excited nature.

He wanted to look good in front of her his head swimming with so many ideas. Looking back at Tic he grinned back with his usual excited nature. Caitlyn Hellstorm Siryn could see that the stallion is excited about the prospect of being painted as she chuckles lightly. "I need to gather my supplies so I can paint your rump.." She says while gesturing that she need to get berries and things to mix so she could paint Zaribe's rump. "Parrot..." She looks at the stallion thoughtfully before she grins. "Would you like a little extra gift from me, parrot?" She gestures to the parrot to ensure that he understood her. The native american female grins in amusement at the antics of the couple in front of her before she turns around to find the necessary berries and equipment she would need to make the paint. Tic's cheeks darkens as she blushes when she realizes that she really enjoys her time with Zaribe and she definitely don't want that moment to end. She giggles at the stallion when he wiggled his rump for attention. She rolls her eyes in playful manner as she shakes her head, looking at him with a grin on her face. "Silly stallion. Maybe I can hint to the two legger to give you an embarrassing picture to prance around on your rump?" She tries to look serious but she couldn't help but to giggle at the thought of Zaribe prancing around with something embarrassing on his rump.
Tic smiles as she watches Zaribe then she turns her head toward Siryn when she spoke up once again, gesturing that she is getting berries. "Berries..yummy. Shame its not for eating." She laughs as she dances toward Zaribe with a mischievous sparkle in her eye.Rein_Carnation Eating? This he perked his red ears toward happily. Zaribe the bird stallion that would never tire of eating, like a bottomless pit his stomach moved on and on.
Then the thought of something embarrassing crossed his mind making him all the more silly in his grinning, "Embarrassing huh? Well, you'd like it anyway as long as you could look at my smexy rump huh Tic?" he chuckled wiggling it yet again.
Watching the human he waited in anticipation. What was "painting anyway"? Was it cold to the touch? Did it hurt when they did it? He felt morally dumbfounded pondering what was going to happen. Zaribe nodded to Siryn with a whinny in response to her as she hurried off to make what was needed.
He grunted leaning over to n** at her mane, "What's painting like?"
It wasn't that he was stupid or anything, just new to this sort of treatment that he was about to receive. Caitlyn Hellstorm Siryn grins as she gathers up various different berries in two separate 'bowls'. One for eating and one for painting and she spent few minutes combining the berries together with water, leaves and barks to make pasty paint. She glances over at Zaribe and Tic Tac Toe curiously while placing the leaves out with random colored paint on each one of them. She have a bright red streak on her cheek from the time where she smudged her cheek with the paint and tried to get it off but made it even more worse. "Parrot...? I am ready if you are." Siryn calls out as she chuckles lightly when she hears series of horse noises coming from those two. Sometimes it made her wonder what they are talking about. Tic blinks as she tilts her head to side while looking at Zaribe when he asked her how the painting feels. "Um.. Its very fun experience.. if you are ticklish like me, it will be hard for you to stay really still because she will be using her finger or stick to paint things on your rump. Its not hot or cold.. it feels like.." Tic ponders as she looks at Zaribe before she suddenly licks Zaribe's rump. "It will feel like this.. damp for little while but after it dries, you wouldn't feel a thing." She bobs her head as she smiles at Zaribe before she nudges the stallion. "You can always change your mind if you want to."Rein_Carnation He listened intently grinning all the while. She noted it wasn't bad but yet ticklish was something he had a weakness for. He chuckled with a wiggle till she licked his rump in demonstration. His mind went wild yet he snorted from the touch almost in laughter. This might prove interesting for Siryn if she ended up in paint rather than Zaribe did. He hoped that wouldn't be the case, but it may of been a possibility.
"Cheeky" he responded back to Tic with a wink, "We'll see if I can stand still long enough". He wondered it himself momentarily. He had to keep from getting out of control and accept this gift. It was in his best interest to, especially to impress his Sunny Rainbow.
So he grunted and whickered to the girl with a "yes" hoping he himself could make a very good impression. Caitlyn Hellstorm Siryn giggles at Zaribe as she pulls the makeshift tray over toward him. "All righty... lets paint you right now, parrot!" She grins as she dips her makeshift brush in small pallete she made in order of the rainbow and slowly began to draw the rainbow on Zaribe's rump carefully. She would occasionally stop painting when Zaribe move around but she smiles at the stallion reassuringly. "Its all right, parrot.. I am just painting a rainbow on you.." She says in soothing manner. Tic dances around in front of Zaribe excitedly. "You are going to have a painting just like me." She exclaims happily as she nuzzles Zaribe without realizing it. The second her muzzle touches his face, her cheeks heats up furiously as she blushes. Tic turns her head away to hide her red cheeks as she moves to check on the work Siryn is doing on Zaribe's rump. She whickers gently toward the female before she noses the brush playfully, but it wasn't enough to ruin the precise work Siryn is doing on Zaribe's rump. She dances excitedly around the human and the stallion. "I can't wait to see it done! It will be so awesome!"

[PRP] Paint me a rainbow (Tic and Zairbe)Rein_Carnation He stands still yet a hoarse like grunt that sounds something like a giggle escapes his throat. He couldn't help it, for one thing it tickled like an itch you just couldn't reach to scratch. He wanted to wiggle is bulk out of the way, but Tic would be so cross or worse sad if he did so. She he stood there making the silliest noises that sometimes sounded like a squawk if you listened closely.
"A rainbow" he grinned making his silly noises feeling the wetness seep into his coat. He'd definitely have to get a view of this one way or another. And would it wear off he wondered? He grunted and laughed all the more as she continued.
His thoughts though made him feel quite cheeky. He wanted to be goofy, make Tic laugh but yet he endured the tickling that came with each brush stroke. He pondered the fact if he carried a rainbow, and say she carried his feather... wouldn't that make them a pair? He grinned and watched her turn away, cheeks fading as she turned red as apples. And why was that he thought? Maybe she liked him as much as he did her. This he wondered without fail feeling his chest thump with his beating heat. A rainbow and the singing parrot, he liked that a lot. Caitlyn Hellstorm Siryn giggles as the stallion when he makes series of funny noises while she paints the rainbow and the flying parrot (with black outline around parrot's body) soaring across the rainbow. She smiles as she glances up at Tic whom is watching her intently. "You approve?" She peers at the mare whom whinnies happily while bobbing her head. "I am thinking about giving your friend a present now since he behaved himself while I painted on him." She talks to Tic while putting the paints away. "Parrot.." She taps Zaribe's shoulder gently before gesturing to the paint. "Careful. Its still wet." She gestures that he should be careful with the painted part of his body. Tic couldn't help but to giggle at Zaribe before she steals a nuzzle from him then she moves to watch Siryn paint. She was so fascinated with how the humans creates something and made sure that they stays on. She smiles at Zaribe before she bobs her head at Siryn, whinnying her approval about the painting. She moves toward Zaribe. "I think she meant don't touch the painting.." She murmurs as she smiles gently at Zaribe before she nuzzles him again. She couldn't help but to feel really affectionate toward him right now.Rein_Carnation Zaribe still resumed his silly noises as the last stroke was applied. When she at last finished he chuckled feeling his fur dry with the wetness. How silly it was feeling the hair on your rump drying with some sort of textured material within it.
Watching Siryn closely his deep brown eyes were fascinated he tolerated something that tedious for so very long. When she tapped his shoulder he shorted with a whicker. Upon hearing Tic's reasoning he nodded and whinnied his response with a thank you.
"Don't touch the painting." he repeated what Tic said stretching his head around to see just what was applied there. He noticed the pretty rainbow, then the flying parrot. A wide grin appeared on his muzzle as he looked directly at his Sunny Rainbow.
"Wonder what this means?" he questioned with a mischievous look on his face bringing his head and muzzle directly near Tic's. Caitlyn Hellstorm Siryn chuckles softly as she grins lightly at the stallion. She is very amused with the parrot soquili and she grins at them. The female pets Zaribe's wings before she walks over to the basket of apples where she obviously had things hidden at the bottom of the basket. "Do -" She could see that Zaribe and Tic is engaged in some serious conversation as she falls silent with a smile on her face then she busies herself making something for Zaribe while painting one or two feather to fit Tic's colors. Tic giggles as she smiles at Zaribe in affectionate manner. The mare tries to fan the wet painting with her tail before she stills whatever she was going when she looks at him with innocent look on her face when he asked her the question. She blushes as she looks at Zaribe with her eyes sparkling. "Maybe it means we are designed to be together." She says in playful manner as she steals a nuzzle from his muzzle with a happy murmuring sound.Rein_Carnation He chuckled but paused letting her words sink in like the paint slowly drying upon his fur into a nice design that would be with him forever. Together. Destined. How nice it sounded to his ears, but is that what she truly wanted he wondered. His smiled in a cheeky matter at her nipping playfully with a grin. For just a silly moment he decided to joke around and see how she responded. "Say Tic" his ears swiveling like two large moving gates, "Do you think we should ya know be together?" he winked once more before he began lipping at her muzzle with a snort. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic giggles as she watches Zaribe with a huge grin on her face and she blushes when she gets nipped at. Its almost like everything around the couple just faded into the background and the spotlight is on those two. "Together... us?" Tic blushes as she looks at Zaribe with a shy smile on her face. "But of course, Zaribe. I couldn't think of better stallion to be with." She giggles as she grins at him affectionately."Are you asking..me to be your mate?" She slants her eyes toward him playfully. Rein_Carnation His ears swiveled so fast they stood upwards straight and tall. Her sudden agreement made him sit well stand there in shock literally. The sudden silent fanfare playing in his heart and soul taking in such a radiant beauty.
"Well why not" he chuckled looking at her with those big brown eyes of his, "Your human there seems to think it... so why not make it real Sunny Rainbow?" With a cheeky grin he planted a kiss on her cheek and smiled.
He couldn't contain his excitement forgetting the girl temporarily, all he focused on was this vision in front of him. Though he did turn to look at the beautiful design on his rump now and then coming back to look at her still grinning. With a nod of his head he stepped in closer nibbling her neck.
Boy would Zikeria be surprised at this little bit of news. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe just merely blushes as she looks at him when she noticed him stand there with a shock look on his face, his ears and tail is perked up in the air. She couldn't help but to giggle because he was so cute, looking like that.
The mare could sense that the human quietly slipped away because they are not paying attention to her but she doesn't really care because all she wants is right there in front of her.. "I would really love that, Zaribe." Tic shyly says as she smiles at him happily. Her cheeks became dark red as she blushes furiously when she got a kiss on cheek.
Tic giggles as she grins happily at Zaribe. "Zaribe..." She murmurs gently as she closes her eyes at the nibbling of her neck. "I love you... I love you so much.." She whispers as she nibbles at his shoulder while moving closer to him. Rein_Carnation Ah love such a fickle little thing, that is to you experience and taste it yourself for the first time. He watched her with a new perspective in those soft brown eyes that always appeared so boldly. Now his heart felt complete standing next to her, just being there as he should be.
Just what would Zi say now that he'd taken a mate he wondered. Would she congratulate, make mockery, or just accept and be done with it. All in all he hoped the first choice would be hers knowing how well him and Zi were alike.
He playfully grinned at her in that ever so obvious cheeky fashion of his. He continued to nibble at her feeling all the more protective should some romeo stallion come and sweep her off her feet, try anyway. That's right they could try but he'd put them in their place straight up. Such a crazy soul the parrot was and now even more goofy that he had someone in his life to share it with.
"And I you Tic" he whispered back with a flick of his ears. The first time that his words actually contained her name. "This is all new to me, like a great adventure, but you're here with me. Granted I might fly off from time to time," he said with a wink, "but I'll always come back and maybe have a gift for you too."
Once more he turned to look at his rump seeing the rainbow and the parrot. Yes. This was what fate had lead him to and whispered in his own ears. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic felt like she could grow wings and fly above the highest mountains and clouds while announcing her happiness to the entire world. She tries not to dance around excitedly in front of Zaribe so she just merely reared up in the air whinnying loudly so everybody could hear her happiness.
A huge happy grin spreads on her face as she looks at her now mew mate while she revels in the feeling of him nibbling on her neck and shoulder. Tic Tac Toe murmurs happily as she closes her eyes as she just stood there with Zaribe, content that she finally found a mate and she is very happy with how things is going at the moment.
"Mmm... I am not going to hold you down to the ground.. you can fly anywhere and anytime.. as long as you come back to me, my parrot.. I am perfectly fine with you leaving for while." The mare whispers to Zaribe as she grins impishly. "You do know that I will hold on to that promise, my dear... I better get showered with gifts." She laughs to show that she is not serious about that as she nibbles on his shoulder. Rein_Carnation Gifts. Oh yes he'd find her everything that showed off that beauty she beheld in front of him. He pondered seashells, shining jewels, feathers, oh so many things he could treat her to in his travels. Zikeria, how he couldn't wait to shock her with this news. A mate, his mate that loved him as much as he loved her with a bond that couldn't be erased let alone broken. He felt giddy, almost like flying if he wanted to, but his heart was literally grounded right now as he leaned in to nibble on her neck with soft breaths warm upon her fur.
"Anything Tic, my Sunny Rainbow, I'll find anything you desire. I have a reason to keep my rump on the ground, and I'll darn well do so." he grinned with a nod winking at her. She was so radiant, so beautiful, how his head did spin as his heart beat wildly off and on. Where would they go now and what would they do? So many possibilities, so many things for two to share. A parrot and a Sunny Rainbow, things to make the world a brighter better place. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic shudders in happiness and pleasure as she closes her eyes while enjoying the nibbling on her neck. She arches her neck out to give him more access to her then she began to daydream about the future they will have together, perhaps they will have children together. The yellow mare began to wonder if she will be a good mother to the kids they would probably have in the future and a smile appears on her face when she began to visualize the appearance of their children.
The children will definitely be bright and perfect in her eyes. Her trademark blush circles appears on her cheeks as she closes her eyes when Zairbe spoke to her. She opens her eyes and laughs at him. "No.. I can't tell you not to fly.. its like me telling you to stop to breathe. And I actually love to see you soar in the skies." She grins at her mate cheekily then she bumps his hips with hers. "What do you want to do now, my love?" Rein_Carnation Zaribe pondered for a moment what lovely gift would he find for his mate. Perhaps a diamond the size of her hoof... or a flowery necklace of hibiscus and laurel. Oh how she's simply shine in shells from the seashore, or wait a feather of his own painted by Tirranna in pretty designs. Whatever it may be he wanted it to be spectacular and befitting for his lovely bride, now that she was his.
"First... I'm going to find you a gift," he whispered with a shimmer in those soft brown irises, "Then we'll go and see the world together".
Kissing her gleefully with a nudge of his velvet muzzle he whispered, "I love you Tic... so very much." Then with a thrust of his great wings he outstretched, the macaw stallion burst into the cerulean sea pulling higher and higher with each wing beat. Looking downward she shone like a sun, brilliant and bright waiting patiently for his return.
Now he was part of a pair, a new beginning that inscribed many glorious memories to come. Caitlyn Hellstorm Tic Tac Toe glows happily as she watches Zaribe with a huge smile on her face as she wonders what she will get from Zaribe. She doesn't really want anything because she thinks she already got everything she wanted right there in one setting. Her reddish orange eyes gleams with happiness and love that is all aimed toward Zaribe. She knows that he meant it.. she is going to get spoiled rotten and he won't hear any complaining from this radiant mare.
Tic kisses her mate back as she beams widely when she watches her mate rose up into the skies like bright red angel with multi-colored wings. "And I love you too, Zaribe.. with all of my heart!!" She shouts after him as she giggles with a blush tinging her cheeks. She tosses her mane out of her eyes because she wants to watch her mate fly off then she just rears up and whinnying loudly so everybody could hear that she is very proud of her mate and happy that she finally found the one she genuinely loves.

Rein_Carnation As his great wings pushed him in fell swoops through the clouds, the parrot stallion pondered just what would be fitting for his Sunny rainbow. So many things pulsed in his thriving mind with images as brilliant as the colors that painted and formed his mate.
So, just what should he find for her? A beautiful shell from the vast ocean containing many forms of life and treasure, or a flower that bloomed bright and gorgeous to accent her mane and figure? Oh whatever would he bring back when everything seemed just right for her he sighed with another wing beat. Turning toward the horizon he followed the sky till it melted with the trees pondering an idea. If anyone from his knowledge could suggest a wondrous idea... it was Celendria whom so nicely invited him to live there with her mismatched herd.
Descending toward the ground he tossed his head landing decently with all four hooves upon the ground. Flicking his braided tail he walked slowly looking around the place. Tirranna was standing idly by cooking some sort of dinner in that weird pot hanging strangely over the fire. The smell of the food, cooked or not, was quite inviting. But, he himself wasn't forgetting Tic because his stomach grumbled with a ferocious hunger like usual.
Walking slower he gazed around for the one that shone of the wintry days, a sculpture that radiated in the sun's warm gaze. Her whole form was lithe and limber with such elegance in her words and motions. She stood off further toward the clearing, perhaps meditating to herself as a river of silver white silk swayed in a lucid fashion behind her.
Forgetting that grumbling his stomach so ignorantly protested he bypassed the food addressing the icy mare.
"Celendria. You're looking quite radiantly today, " he grinned with that silly manner accompanied by a wink, "I need your help please". He spoke in such an excited tone with his expression almost urgent. Rein_Carnation Celendria turned her head gently to the side as her cerulean eyes gazed upon the striking red hue of the parrot based stallion. He'd always been the sort to beg, even follow after others if food was present, but for some strange reason he didn't heed nor halt to the smell of the sweetness cooking in the pot.
Interesting.
His words were fickle yet carried an urgency, almost devoted intent to them. Of course she'd assist him in any way she could. Smiling she stood quite intently gazing upon him before her muzzle uttered a sound, "Help? Why Zaribe of course I'll help you... What is it that you desire?" She waited patiently wondering if he would release a torrent of requests or perhaps one single one for he was a stallion of many capabilities. But the one thing that caught her eye as he flexed his wing, was the strange new tattoo painted upon his rump. That which depicted a parrot like himself flying over a brilliantly curved rainbow. Ah, now it was making sense to her as her soft eyes smiled back at him.
Seemed he'd chosen a mate which the owner of the mare firmly agreed upon. My, how the herd like the seasons was always changing to something new and wonderful. Rein_Carnation Zaribe noted that she had finally seen his new artwork and made sure to display it proudly with a wiggle of his rump, followed by a toss of his head. He was quite proud to say he'd found a mate, one that made him strut and preen with such deliberation.
"Oh great... I knew you would," he chatted quite fast with a laugh seeping in his words of silliness, "See I have a mate now and I need help". He tossed his head, practically paced in place eager to tell the soon-to-be elder of his predicament.
"I need to find the most special, unique, wondrous, fantastic, simply out of this world present for my Sunny rainbow. So I need your help because you'd know what she'd like and all". He watched her with a glimmer in those deep brown orbs searching for the answer. She just had to know since she was well Celendria right? Rein_Carnation Celendria chuckled listening to the fluttering of love as they puffed from his chest so dominantly. Something that would be fitting for a lovely new bride, a token of love that would make her remember him for ages to come. There simply was so many ideas that it could make one's head buzz with excitement. But, finding something perfect took expertise and knowledge of the other in question. To not know their dislikes or favorite things was quite difficult... but she had a brilliant idea.
"Hmmm, " she started with a radiant smile looking around her, "This will be quite tricky, but I do have a solution that will help you".
Walking in her cool headed fashion of serene grace and elegance she headed toward the teepee bobbing her head as she went along. She could feel his presence as he followed her closely wondering just what answer she'd give him. Ohh a pendent, or a necklace, an apple, or even a shell. What would it be she could hear him thinking. She smiled as her head inserted in the teepee flap reaching inward. Finally she found just what she was searching for. Tirranna wouldn't mind him taking one, for now anyways. Rein_Carnation Zaribe waited anxiously to see what Celendria was pondering, though his ears swiveled and fell strangely limp at the sight before him. What she carried was a wicker typebasket constructed of Tirranna's own handiwork adorned with handle.
"Is this the most perfect gift... I don't understand" he murmured trying to understand what an old basket had to do with surprising his mate. He blinked, staring at it for another round before he looked directly at her.Celendria moved the handle just right so she could speak clearer to him, "No Zaribe. What this is, this basket is the start of your quest to find the most perfect gift to compliment your new mate. As we all learn in life things must be sought for by the very ones that have come seeking advice. Go and meet with other soquili and accept their assistance in whatever gifts they offer". She smiled handing over the basket to him. "Once you have met enough soquili to fill this basket, you will know which is the perfect gift for your Sunny Rainbow." Pausing she took a breath to speak one last word of advice to the anxious stallion, "And remember, Everything should fit nicely in your basket. Nothing too large should be considered. When you feel you've found the perfect thing... show me."
She then stepped back letting the stallion ponder where to start. If he was truly dedicated, then he'd find enough to fill the basket and realize which was the most special gift. Rein_Carnation Watching her stand there he thought for a moment then lightened with a grin. Celendria was testing him to see if he truly loved Tic. Well he was quite serious and decided that he'd prove to the elder that he was capable of accomplishing this task. Nothing would stand in his way of finding something amazing for her...
And so began Zaribe's quest of finding the perfect gift for his beloved.... Rein_Carnation As the stallion traveled on along he had a good notion of a gift to start off this little quest, the delicious aroma of the sugarplums. Ah the memory of sharing a sweet treat with the one he was falling in love with, such a sweet feeling knowing she really did like him. Picking up his pace he graced a presence of red plumage melted in blues and golds to gaze upon those fruitful groves. Spying a little figure with her head directly in the leaves of the furthest tree, he grinned with a new found happiness. If he explained his situation, she was sure to offer one in his defense... or maybe a second even. Ah, best to hope on one for now.
So stepping forward he placed the basket upon the ground speaking as clear as he could, "Shaylee... how wonderful you're looking today? Checking on your Sugarplums I see" he commented, not realizing it was her rump that the great stallion was watching wiggle back and forth.A little delicate lavender head quickly poked out of the darker leaves gazing back at the parrot stallion. Smirking she flitted her wings, pulling her upwards to gently land than place herself on a branch. Perking her ears she let her hooves gently glove the branch while her hindquarters nestled snugly, holding her in place. Curled tresses on her neck and down her rump shifted and moved with the coming fall breezes.
"O ho hohoho... Come back to beg have we?" she grinned with an almost birdlike manner in her chirped laughter, "Where's your girlfriend parrot boy?"
She waited wondering why he'd come without such a pretty mare. Perhaps he was out finding something by the looks of his basket. Say... why did he have one anyway, was he looking for a feast? It had better be good, whatever his excuse was. Rein_Carnation Zaribe always knew that his mooching had been his downfall, but he really did love to snack and begging for it was his forte. But this time it was different, he had a reason to ask with Celendria's task. So he smiled with his ever famous grin and decided to be truthful, for that was something he was trying very hard to know practice.
"Suspicious as always aren't we?," hes smirked with his tongue sticking out. No, he was going to be honest about this, "She's waiting for me back at her two-leggers place. No. I'm on a great quest and I need your help Shaylee. Only you can help me start it," he noted gazing at a shining fruit above him, "This isn't for me mind you."
He watched her curiously wondering his his sincerity was enough to convince her, besides the fact that the basket did carry Celendria's scent upon it as well. He was determined to find something, anything that his Sunny rainbow would love and remember him by. Rein_Carnation Shaylee watched him carefully, shocked that his words actually may have carried truth to the whole thing. For a moment as a cool breeze seemed to shift her back and forth in her quiet meditation, she sat deadly still pondering something. Then she spoke with a twinkle in her eye as her pretty butterfly wings flitted the remaining sunshine that hid within the trees back at him.
"Sure. One or two? Heck a whole tree for that pretty girl. She sure did love my Sugarplums didn't she?," peering at the basket she frowned, "Oh well a couple possibly since I think you need other stuff in there parrot boy. Ya know like pretty trinkets and such to make her go ooh and aah and all that. You'll see... she'll love you a looooooooooong time".
Grinning she stood up and flitted towards the ground, playfully hopping off the branch to look up at him before she scurried off to another tree removing a few fruits before she returned to him.
"Save at least two for her and you may have the rest," she grinned trotting over to the basket, while placing them inside "Seems you have a long way to go before you are finished... Good Luck with that".
She then wiggled her rump and flitted off towards another tree, disappearing deeply within the branches, while a few rustles were heard.
Zaribe grinned as the saliva filled his mouth. "Nope. Later I'll eat... more things huh?" craning his head down he picked up the basket in his mouth then turned toward the right a little. "Hey Shaylee thanks. I'll be sure and tell Tic you helped me with your wonderful Sugarplums."
And as the wind rustled, he swore he heard a quaint little giggle escape from that tree she was somewhere buried within. Now it was time to find another gift and really make her remember him. Lunadriel Ayelet stood staring up at the night sky. Her tail hung softly on a gentle breeze, and a few curls of hair spread over her face. It was hard to keep on the move, she seemed to always be distracted by the sky. As long as there was something up there to see, she would find happiness in far from the ground.
Tuning one ear to the side, she thought there might be someone approaching her. Her gaze stayed fixed on the stars. It would take the voice of another, to break her trance. Rein_Carnation Lunadriel~Zaribe trotted along merrily as the sun was finally set, as he pondered those yummy sugarplums. There were at least 5 in there, but he wanted to give Tic Tac two for the first gift. So he continued onward till he noticed a mare that reminded him of the setting sun when he stood by his mate's side. Oh Tic how he longed to be with her, but his task was first before he could return.
Smiling with a flick of his gorgeous tri-colored wings he announced his presence, "Good evening fair one of the setting sun."
It was a wonderful introduction plus he was quite happy that yet another could possibly assist him in his ploy. The more soquili he met, the sooner he could return back with the "Perfect Gift". But even if it was a short, sweet meeting, he'd remember all whom helped him in his quest. Lunadriel A melodic cord rung through her ears. Holding her head to the stars, she took in a deep breath, almost as if she was saving the image in her mind. Swinging her head to one side, she smiled in the direction of the stallions deep voice.
"Well.." her velvet voice answered, as she briefly filled her eyes with his splendor of red. "I must say, good evening to you too."
What's more, he had bird like limbs adorning his sides. They were massive, and could no doubt carry him through the sky. Her eyes swam with magnetism, staring now, at his feathery hues of red, yellow, and blue. Her body turned to match her craned neck.
Her mouth softly worded one word, wow.
Trying her best to lose her stare, she broke off with the ring of her name. "I am Ayelet Hashachar. Might I ask you your name Sir?" And as if it hadn't been there before, she finally saw the basket he was carrying. Her head tilted quizzically to the side, as if in wonder, as to what it was for. Rein_Carnation
~Luna
He wasn't going to lie and say her coat wasn't alluring as they reflected in those deep browns, a mystical sunset that radiated like the coming of night. She must equally think of a painted parrot stallion in the same effect, different and curious.
Lowering his head he grinned introducing himself with a spread of his wings for show, "Zaribe of the Jungle. A pleasure Ayelet Hashachar, may I call you Ayelet?".
Placing the basket upon the ground a sound of 4 rolling fruit tumbled deep within. He'd snacked on one counting the excess, sure that two remained as instructed from the lively miniature equine. Her wings always reminded him of a butterfly, light and extremely delicate, yet she could out fly almost anything.
This included the parrot male in that equation.
He noted her interest in the basket, smiling with a new found hope. Now his mind wandered as his words announced themselves without hesitation. "I'm on a quest, that's what the basket is for," he noted grinning while his chest puffed out proudly.
Eying her curiously he pondered his next question carefully, "You look like someone that could decide on something beautiful, Am I right? I need to find a gift befitting of my mate, one that is the most perfect idea ever thought of, " his words flowing now as quickly as his anticipation, "Do you have an idea what I could give her? I must fill this basket with many things before I can return."
There he'd spoken his request as his eyes settled, melting into those beautiful hues in her coat. Wondering curiously what idea she could grace him with, something perfect and fitting for his lovely mate.Lunadriel Her heart could of skipped a beat, in rhythm to his wings being spread. He was magnificent alright. She found him attractive in every way. Even the sound of his name completed his look.
"You may indeed, call me as you wish...Zaribe." she almost blushed.
She watched with intent, as four purple orbs bounced around in the basket. They rolled to a stop as the basket rested on the ground. "A quest?" she answered, and then listened for him to explain more.
Even though she had just met him, a tinge of disapointment was felt at the mention of a mate. She didn't think twice about it, for he was taken. Yet, she had an idea, of how the mare might begin to feel, towards Zaribe. This time she did blush, with the offer to help give a gift for his lady.
Silent for a moment, she hung her head. When she was about to admit, she had no such gifts, her eyes came across a feather on the ground. It was a beautiful feather, filled with the true blue in Zaribe and his wings.
Ayelet felt a pull of happiness in the corner of her eyes. Who could ask for anything more? Without lifting her head, she walked over near his side, and scooped the feather gingerly into her mouth. She then looked up, searching for his gaze.
As if time itself had tried to stop, she slowly walked towards the basket. Her offering, or his rather, she placed against the side of the basket. It was his choice whether to accept it, was it not?
"I am convinced, that this single feather holds more beauty, than any item I could ever give you. It may be only a feather, perhaps to you, but to me, it captures a hint of everything that you are. You are her Painted Parrot, after all." Ayelet's words were filled with hope. The feather would hold more meaning to his "her" than it ever could for anyone else.

{ORP} The Perfect GiftRein_Carnation ~Luna
A feather of beautiful blue and gold stood predominant within her muzzle. Ah, Tic loved his feathers so much on days they were together. Of course many more would probably adorn her mane and tail showing off the splendor and creativity of a scarlet macaw stallion.
As she placed it in the basket he felt a sense of knowledge flood his preoccupied brain of possible things Tic would come to receive as future gifts. Anything from their time together, possible memories, even a flood of colors depicting them both were enough to form one single gift. He also started pondering why Celendria had made him quest by the means of other soquili he'd not known or realized roamed these lands.
There was more than meets the eye for him to ponder right at that moment. No matter, he had meet a wonderful mare whom soon he had to part ways in order to fulfill his quest. But, memories of those he was in contact with with always stick with him like his own plumage that set upon his large deepset wings. Even though he'd pluck a few, he still had many more to remain in place.
"Painted parrot. I like that," he responded with a deep grin as his eyes set deeply upon her. He turned to look upon the painting that displayed proudly upon his rump for all to see.
"Thank you Ayelet, I hope someday that we will cross paths once more, and maybe Tic will get to meet you as well. I'm sure she'll want to thank youfor the gift you helped me with."
Nodding his head on last time he picked up the basket and spread his wings in an array of a fantastic primary rainbow. Kicking off the ground he soared in the sky, basket griped firmly in his muzzle.
Sugarplums and a feather now where key components to his quest. What else would he find, or who would he meet in this journey he pondered. Whomever the case was... he was excited to find out and continue what he had set out to do. Rein_Carnation Zaribe traveled onward flicking his ears back and forth in the night as the moon hung heavy next to him in flight. Her brilliance illuminating the stallion's golds, red, and blues as his wings propelled him gracefully through the mist-like clouds.
A familiar scent beckoned to him, the salty chill and excitement of water stretching far across the world far below. He adored the sea, rolling playfully in Peru colored sands that supplied the most perfect itch. But, being with Zikeria was one thing he truly missed, two peas in the same pod or nest rather. She may have tainted, even scolded him some days, but her laughter and funny sense of humor is what drove that bad things further away.
So, descending into a dive he swooped downward into that painted land of the sinking earth as it gave way gradually beneath his fine set hooves. He tossed his head gazing at the forever lying ocean as swept outwards and back again leaving his hooves and fetlocks damped with a salty tingling.
Were there any soquili about or would he be able to pluck something that caught his interest from the shifting water as she gifted things upon the shoreline for a few moments, gradually taking them back once more into her ever changing form. It amused him to see things that might of worked in the form of a gift, only to disappear in the frothy sea foam as if it were teasing him. No matter though, for he enjoyed this game immensely. Rein_Carnation As the tide swept inward and outward a usual figure stood basking in the swift water as she bellowed against him. May thoughts set firmly in his mind, including a maiden that had come from the ocean that reigned within the sky. She was indeed a wave that could never be tamed, but her memories had never left his thoughts. It was sad when she faded away, but water was a fickle thing which he himself knew well.
Her words, "Trust in mother," always stayed with him as he watched the rising and settling of the tide, often wondering if she was correct that water children were safe from the wrath of Eternity. Still, it was fickle and unknown and he dared not accept that fact that things were simply built and formed because one said so. Eternity, the mother of all creation was indeed loving and gracious, but with any deity you dare not overstep her kindness. For if you took things way too much there certainly was a consequence that lied deeply in those soft spoken words.
His eyes caught a glimpse of something descending upon his shores, a red hued streak tined with golds and blues. He knew it wasn't the maiden, for she blended almost seamless with the mother herself.
No, this was a stallion that had arrived by the cerulean sea high above.
Flicking his ears his waited to see why another had arrived at this lonely place he now realized was more imprisonment than a paradise. Not once would he ever betray his mother by leaving, but stay by her side through his days. Many others had spoken in times of having mates as they strode side by side along the sandy shores, and roamed back into the outskirts of the land he knew nothing about. He'd try so hard to wonder about what other things there were, but his heart lied with the Sea and her restlessness. It would be a rare thought that he'd even think of taking one to roam and frolic by his side. Maybe one day he would... but for now why had this brightly colored male come to his world Mizu wondered. Rein_Carnation At first Zaribe didn't see the massive stallion that appeared as a wave himself standing there so still breathing inward and outward.
When he did notice the Sea stallion his eyes widened with curiosity, for there was indeed another that lived within this world he so enjoyed playing within. Stallions were unpredictable, yet Zaribe wondered if this one could help him by chance.
So, throwing caution to the wind he started slowly carrying the basket firmly within his mouth.
When he did indeed reach him, the parrot stallion was mesmerized at the deepness that lied within this stallion's coat. He blended so well with the ocean herself that even the strange markings upon his body seemed very much like waves that rose and fell over him. Breathtaking. Zaribe couldn't help but smile as his rump felt a bit itchy where the painting lied. Remembering that it wasn't exactly permanent he strayed a bit from the sea as she tried splashing against his sides.
Tilting his head he placed the basket gently upon the ground before he spoke, for he wanted to be clear and able to be heard as the roar of the ocean now purred deeply in her restlessness.
"Ah hello there great one of the Sea.... I wonder if you could lend me a thought of your time?" he queried with his eyes still setting upon the great stallion composed of water and frothy foam. Rein_Carnation Mizu snorted as the sea foam tickled his nose taking in the scarlet, blue, and gold that stood before him. His mane and tail blowing furiously, lapping at the water that splashed against him, though silken in appearance as they shone like a reflection in the deep waters.
His ears swiveled listening deeply to the other stallion wondering what ploy he regressed and asked openly for. Strange a sky dweller would even ask of his help, but curiosity did intrigue him. Noting the basket the water was lapping at, the stallion saw four strange fruits and a feather nestled gently inside. Odd, that this red male would have such peculiar things in a strange basket.
"Welcome to the reach of my mother's land," the deep creature spoke, his voice long and loud with a addition of proud allure. "I am Mizu and I shall in curiosity help you with what I can."
His watched the other whom seemed so lively under the silvery light of the great light that shone upon both the Sea and himself. He also noted the brightly colored tattoo that existed upon the winged's rump. A picture of a rainbow, banded colors stretching into his fur with a bird that looked very much like the red winged himself. Rein_Carnation Zaribe coughed forgetting his manners all of a sudden.
"I am Zaribe of the jungle. Thank you for taking time to listen to my ploy," he noted with a deep bow of his finely built head.
He was still fascinated that two, make that three soquili were coming to his aid.
"My quest is a simple one, granted by an elder-to-be of the herd I roam. I'm to find a gift for my beloved mate, a very special one that says "I love you"."
He grinned quite proudly saying these words, imagining back in a time of when he himself was too fool hardy to even consider devotion and dedication to one he'd spend his life with.
"All I ask of you is to help me find a gift that would be fitting for my Sunny Rainbow. One that would make her eyes lighten and remember me for all time."
He stood there, his eyes gazing in depth on those massive swirls as they turned and straightened on the other's form. If he did indeed live at this place, one that carried so many wonders, then surely there was something he could contribute that would be in honor of his mate. Rein_Carnation As the silvery aura hung over his head he noted something that shifted and settled near his feet. It shone like a peacock, the colors simply bright and beautiful. If the other's mate was a sunny rainbow, then colors reflected of herself and Zaribe would be a perfect gift. Leaning his head down he snatched it up as the water was seeping backward, cleansing the beautiful shell of all sandy deposits before placing it gently within the deep basket. Wrapped around the shell was a bit of seaweed as if wrapped and placed that way.
Stepping backwards he smiled proudly though it was quite hard to tell that's what he had done.
"A gift my mother has granted you in your ploy bold one that flies with the massive ocean above this one. Shining in essence of both I feel that it is a gift befitting for the one your heart has spoken for."
He nodded to the other turning to gaze outward at the forever moving waves before he spoke once more, "She moves onward always, though her love is always present if you always remember she is mother to us all". He turned one last time to face the scarlet winged with a deep nod of his proud set head, "May you find what you seek, and make the one you've chosen forever content and loved".
He then stepped out into the waves and seemed to disappear as his coat melted into the deepness and majesty of the one he called mother. Rein_Carnation Zaribe noted the peacock type glistening that mirrored on the shell. He smiled thinking how now he wanted to bring her here, to show her one of his favorite places his heart was at peace at.
"Ooh thank you so much ahh Mizu," Now Sugarplums, a feather, and a beautiful shell were aided with his quest, "You've been such a great help to me. I'll be sure someday to bring Tic with me to your land."
He fell within the other stallion's words entranced that he was so deeply connected with the great sweeping body of water that now surrounded him. Spreading his wings, the great stallion bowed his head with a gracious en devour than resettled them upon his back. Leaning downward Zaribe picked up the basket and walked the opposite way, sure that the other had turned for a moment, his gaze following the deepened red stallion as he made his way down the shoreline. Lorako  Starla was walking alone in the land. Her mind full of Cuallyen words, she hadn't see him for long and she missed him. She stopped under a tree looking at the sky. It was a night like this one when they were together for the last time.
"Where are you now my belove Cuallyen" her mind was flying far away. She even didn't see the stallion walking not far from where she was.Rein_Carnation
Lorako~
Zaribe had left the sandy land walking with high steps as his presents moved anxiously within the basket. he was beginning now to seek any soquili that roamed these lands in hopes of finding another to aid him.
Tilting his head as the morning was arriving he laid his eyes on a beautiful vision before him. White as snow with a finely built head she carried the most entrancing pink curled locks of silk he'd ever seen before. For a moment he contemplated Tic dressed in pretty roses as this mare was, and he grinned with a thought of how much he loved her. So it wasn't any surprise that he willingly approached this frail mare wondering if she could help him.
Lowering his head in an elegant bow, he spoke with his utmost respectable tone, "Good morning fair one of the roses. I am Zaribe of the jungle. May I ask you of your name so I may address you with proper respect?"
He watched her wondering what she was thinking about, and perhaps her soft voice would help him ponder yet another gift. Lorako Starla almost not heard the stallion before he spoke. She was surprised first, and then even more surprised, in the good way, about the manner of this soquili. He spoke and acted like a gentleman, he didn't need much to catch Starla attention.
She bowed back with courtesy. "I'm Starla of Illusia Kingdom." she smiled gently, her voice was as soft as the roses on her hair. "Nice to meet you Zaribe of the jungle." Bloody_Buffy  Jean Claude huffed looking around him. He had come too far this time. He wasnt normally around these parts. But he had company that he had found in Esperanza. Groaning as the sun touched his eyes, he looked back at the palomino mare.
She had dragged him thus far. He wasnt sure why he actually followed the mare that he never really saw much of anyway.. but maybe thats indeed why when she'd asked, he'd consented. But wait.. He looked back and narrowed an eye. What on earth did she have in her maw?
"Esperanza... Might I inquire about the item in your mouth?"
She looked at him, and cocked her head. Her creme mane falling around her face and neck.
Oh!
She blushed, dropping the small rock she had found.
"I found it in your cave Jean. I do hope you dont mind that I have.. retrieved it."
She looked at the golden, shiny rock and wasnt in the slightest sure how it was made.. But that didnt really matter too much.
"It would make the perfect gift for someone unsuspecting."Rein_Carnation ~Lorako
Zaribe beamed at how beautiful she was, as her hair and roses complimented her perfectly. She'd know of a decent gift, he was sure of it. Practicing with others, making himself more presentable and more of a gentleman was what he was loving about himself. A bird colored stallion learning how to approach others and become something more in their eyes. Perhaps, he thought to himself that is why Tic Tac Toe chose him over any other stallion out there.
Zaribe was growing with a better knowledge and wisdom.
Starla. He repeated her name in his mind quickly so he wouldn't soon be a birdbrain and forget.
"An honor to meet you miss Starla," he bowed his great head again with a sweep of his mane. "I'm on a quest for my beloved from the elder of the herd. Would you be able to help me?"
Describing what he needed along with Celendria's words, he waited to see if Starla did indeed have a suggestion possibly. ~BuffyZaribe was quite content with himself as he was learning things from the different faces he came in contact with. The naive, the curious, even the beautiful faces that roamed these lands stopped for a moment to offer assistance and help him in his quest. If he did indeed keep this up, why pretty soon the basket would be brimming with color and he'd be on his way homeward by now.
His stomach growled a moment as the sound of rolling fruit had captured his attention. Four fruit remained out of five. That meant that he could at least eat two more and still keep the last two for Tic Tac. Heaven forbid if he'd devour Shaylee's gift, she'd never forgive him, not in a million years. Sticking his head in the basket that he placed upon the ground, Zaribe indulged on the second one leaving three behind. If he did indeed plan on getting hungry, there had to be something else to replace that feeling than the remaining fruit within the basket.
Satisfied of his now sated appetite he looked around him then lifted the basket in his mouth. Now to find the next soquili in his path...
A stallion and a creme colored mare weren't too far off from his destination ahead of him. Why not talk with them and see if they could help fill the basket some more. Bloody_Buffy Jean huffed again.. This time at the wonders Esper always seemed to find in his cave.
"Youd do well to learn whats mine is yours.. But that doesnt mean things.. in my home."
He said, raising an eyebrow.
But his gaze got caught on a red figure coming closer. It was brightly colored. He wasnt sure if he'd ever SEEN something so oddly colored.
"Bonjour. Might I ask about your buisness here?"
Not rude. Just formal.
Esper smiled at Jeans comment to her, and looked ahead as he did. A lovely stallion stood to the front of them. He reminded her of her 'brother' Guilian. But he was much more colored than Guilian was.
She fwapped Jean with her tail as she looked back at the stranger.
"Hello!" Rein_Carnation ~Buffy
Zaribe smiled with a lowering of his head in a gradual sophisticated bow, or rather what felt right at the time. This time a tall stallion and a pretty light colored mare were open to his asking. The main thing he had to remember was this... don't overstay or overdo your welcome. It was something he had to remember in his sweeping bows that let the tips of his mane brush over the grass smoothly.
"I am Zaribe of the jungle. I am honored to meet the both of you on this glorious day, " he announced with a deepness that trailed from his maw. "I have been bestowed a quest from my elder and I seek a present for my mate whom I love so very much. Pray tell could either of you help me?"
He nodded thinking it was very well done and felt quite accomplished that something such as this quest could definitely better in in most ways. He then went on with his tale as he'd done countless times before.
Standing there with his basket placed neatly on the ground he waited for their answer eying the lovely items he was gathering for his Sunny Rainbow. The thought made him smile deeply.

{ORP} The Perfect Gift Lorako
Starla listenned carefully what Zaribe had to say, she was always happy to help someone nice, not the stupid stubborn soquili she met and she much wanted to go away from them than speaking with them.
But this stallion was different and well educated, so he catched her attention.
"What a lovely idea, your mare is a lucky girl. I don't really know what gift will be perfect for her but i can give you one of my white rose to her." she tried to catch one of the white rose on her mane.
"It was not something big but i always thought white roses are perfect to show purity, why not the purity of your feelings for her." she smiled gently and finally picked one and gave it to him.
Bloody_Buffy Jean raised and eyebrow. Gifts eh? Well, he had never been one for gifting anyone.. except when he was younger he gifted mares with his presence all the time.
But now.. Did he have anything to give?
"My name is Jean-Claude of the caves."
He looked about, glancing for something of any value. After all, he assumed it was the thought that counted, and even if there was a particular special blade of grass, it still could fit in the basket full of treats.
He felt a nudge, and looked at Esperanza who dropped her rock at his feet.
He offered a smile and pulled her mane gently as he bent down to scoot the rock closer to Zaribe.
"I hope this from my home shall do."
Then Esperanza smiled at the bright red creature, giving him a nod and a bright eyed grin.
"Its nice to meet you Zaribe! Dare I say, one lucky mare to have such a doting mate. Of course.. I need to think of something."
She said, looking around her body as Jean had done. Not for a blade of grass though, she carried a l ittle satchel tied to her back that Anusha had given her.
Dropping it, she dug through for a moment before pulling out a lovely beaded necklace.
"I do hope this works. Im afraid I dont own much to my name."
Rein_Carnation ~Lorako
Zaribe watched her with wide eyes as she offered one of her very own personal roses that lie within those gorgeous curls of silken locks as they tumbled over her shoulder. How wonderful to express a gift than from your own self that you treasure mostly. Indeed a token of purity would be perfect as his love for her was as true as a rose is created white.
He smiled placing the flowery gift gently within the basket, placing it neatly between two stable objects. Now it would be safe from harm, though he'd have to be extra careful not to jolt the basket, or the gifts would get ruined.
Nodding his head upward he smiled deeply in gratitude to her. Even the smallest gift, be it plain or ornate was worth a million words and thoughts.
"Thank you Starla," he breathed with a bow of his head, "
I'm sure Tic will love your gift, and someday when our paths cross once more, I'd like her to meet you as she stands by my side."
Then with another smile he lifted the basket in his maw and walked slowly away convinced he'd see his mate very soon.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Buffy
The thought of both of them offering a gift was music to his ears. Strangers he was meeting along the way were offering sediments and treasure worthy enough for one he adored to no end. His days of youth, playing with his sister high in the treetops back home never would of made him think that this new land would bring him such complete happiness.
Bending down he noted though the rock was very plain, it still shimmered in front of him. Tic was his light upon those days that blackness painted the sky and land when night arrived.
He cordially picked up the stone placing it softly with a gentle nudge of his velvety muzzle, then turned to the deep stallion, "Any gift that is from the heart shall bring joy to my Sunny Rainbow. I give you my deepest thanks for your aid."
He then watched the lighter mare showing his usual smile, which this time held a bit more restraint from his usual silliness. Perhaps this is what Celendria was making him see as he strove to return to his mate, a newer better stallion with a lot more patience and more refined nature. While he still had his moments of childish play, he was learning when to and not to express things to unwilling others. Heck even Rahu's mouth would drop to the ground at witnessing the evolution of the parrot.
When Esperenza brought out the beautiful necklace he smiled quite affectionatly knowing how well those colors would set off her beautiful coat. How could he not coo and express adoration for one as lovely as his mate.
"She is indeed, "he proudly agreed with a nod of his head bobbing with happiness, "And your gift as well shall make her shine like a beautiful rainbow, not that she isn't gorgeous to begin with mind you." Yeah as I said before he had his moments, so this one wasn't any different than the others. It simply was Zaribe showing his love for one so befitting to be called his soul mate.
Taking the necklace from the pretty mare, he placed it as well into the basket. Now it looked even more fuller than it had before.
Soon Tic.... Soon I'll be home. Wait for me
Looking one last time in the basket, he smiled raising his head to look upon the two standing before him. Bowing with a great sweep of his colored make he lowered his head, " I do hope someday that you both will be able to meet my mate, for she will want to thank you for all you've done."
Lowering his head once more he retrieved the basket and walked way towards the grassier plain outstretched before him. So many things, so many places that he would visit, and yet his heart never wavered from his quest. No matter what hunger, what desire he was feeling, his heart lied with one true goal. Rein_Carnation
With a flit of her wings she fanned herself gracefully. What a beautiful day this was turning out to be. She'd found things that shimmered and sparkled, yet her heart desired more.
Tossing her long well kept mane she looked eagerly toward the meadow area that harbored large rocks here and there and endless grass that waved lazily like a river of emerald. Almost like the ocean in a calm and smooth movement, that's what she thought.
Ready to raise into the air she heard the thunder of deeper hooves as they sunk and released from the dirt beneath them. Strangely this one had become familiar now a days staying near her side to wherever she roamed. Letting a smile paint delicately on her small face, the little flutter spoke, "Well its about time you get here. You know there's treasure waiting out there right?" Smiling she winked at him as her wings showered the stallion with an array of glittering green, painting all over his large form.
Tossing his great head he watched the younger mare that always was smaller than he'd ever pictured one. She called herself a flutter, which was supposed to be a smaller soquili race supposedly. He didn't mind really for she was quite pretty... stopping short he tossed his head again.
Oi yuuri... Don't be thinking like that, she'll think I'm just out to win her affections or something. Nope treasure hunting is what we're here for. Heh beats being out there alone doesn't it?
"Yeah I got a little sidetracked... sorry," he looked a bit embarrassed though in his mouth he carried a velvety sack, "The magical adventurer's pouch for m'Lady, as she has requested." He grinned tossing it to her raising a right fore than stomped it heavily back down.
Feena smirked zipping upward to catch the pouch, "Alright treasure we're going to find you. Ready oh Sir Yuuri?" she giggled feeling like a child again, yet her heart was aging and mind as well. She loved a good hunt, if only her prize be something extraordinary.
"Alright then lets...," she paused noticing the giant red beast descending towards them, his wings so brightly colored her heart nearly ceased to beat. Blinking she shook her head, "Wait a minute Yuuri. I think we have a visitor, looks like a brightly colored bird."
Zaribe landed not too far from them carrying his precious treasure in his mouth as he neared the two new Soquili. One was Shaylee's size (must be a flutter) and the other was a winged dressed in odd cloths and had the largest furry fetlocks the parrot had ever witnessed before.
The things that caught his keen eyes were her large shimmering wings and the stallion's blue pendent that reflected her very light that harnessed the sun's rays.
Shaking his own head he sat the basket down before he spoke, "I'm Zaribe of the Jungle. It is an honor to meet two very interesting Soquili. Never have I imagined how beautiful a flutters wings could be or how bold and handsome a stallion of my race could be. I thank you both for that honor." He then bowed with his sweeping mane of colors before rising once more.
Feena looked at Zaribe smiling with a softness upon her face.
What a charming stallion, he even knows something special when he sees it.
Yuuri also watched the parrot and felt a bit embarrassed. He never thought himself to be handsome of all things, but here this stranger was complimenting them both. Now he wondered what the bird stallion was there for, maybe the treasure hunt would have to wait.
"Ah I'm Yuuri and this is Feena. Its nice that you honor us Zaribe. Is there something we may perhaps help you with," he asked with a large smile noting the basket filled with many of treasures untold. Curiosity filling the stallion with wonderment to why the parrot was addressing them.
Feena stepped forward with a bow of her own head, dropping the pouch to her feet, "Yes. If there's anything you need, I'm sure one of us can find it for you". She smiled with another flit of her wings releasing the soft green hue around her.Rein_Carnation Zaribe noted their activeness in attention to his presence, thinking what gift the two of them might offer. His withers felt a tickling twinge in them, in the way he'd never felt before. Immediately he thought of his bright smiling mate wondering why she washed over and drifted in his thoughts.
Course because he loved her, that's why.
"Help me? Oh that would be very kind of you, for you see I am in need of assistance. For you see my elder of the herd has sent me on a very special errand. I'm to find the most perfect present for my beloved mate," grinning with a flick of his ear he continued, "So anything you could contribute will bring me closer to being by her side."
Yuuri stood listening as he looked at Feena, for she knew answers to any suggestion. She was of course the mighty treasure hunter or problem solver when things arose.
Feena on the other hand was pondering something she could give him, it was quite a special request that couldn't be denied. "Hmmm...," she mused reaching her head downward into her large pouch, "Lets see what I have in my cherished bag shall we?" She nosed about through an array of glittering artifacts and treasures, each fitting of an Adventurer's findings.
What to offer... "Aha," she mused with her tail flicking back and forth. Bringing her head back up she held within her muzzle a straight black cord containing a purple gemstone tied within it. It was large enough to fit around any Soquili's neck as well.
"Its amethyst," she chirped with a nod, "The healing stone of many things. In times of need the purple essence will support and protect her when she needs it most. I believe this is essential to any happy family, be they two or four." Holding the pendent out to him she winked and nodded approval.
Zaribe noted the swirling purple gem as it swung back and forth. Healing stone. Wow he never thought of that idea, she really was something.
"Its beautiful, Thank you Feena." he nodded taking the necklace, dropping it into the basket with all the other gifts.
Yuuri on the other hand pondered for a moment then bowed his head. "I shall return," he spoke with urgency as his large form reached for the skies. His massive wings propelling him higher as his large feet carried him further.
Feena blinked in wonder to where Yuuri was heading off to, but she smiled afterwards realizing he too had a gift as well. Rein_Carnation Zaribe didn't mind the wait for both the flutter and the winged had been wonderful to him with their positive thoughts. He'd especially be patient while Yuuri found something fitting for Tic.
The air finally sounded of a great whooping noise, wings of a large stallion. Yuuri carrying something shining in his mouth as he descended toward them. With an elegant hop step he thundered into the ground, a graceful curve of his massive wings as they folded neatly upon his back. Within his muzzle he carried something rather enticing to both the flutter and the parrot. A small curved ball that reflected the light completely through it.
Zaribe's eyes went wild as he stared in complete attention of the small circular object in the other's mouth.
Yuuri stepped forward, placing the clear ball softly within the basket, all the while admiring the other gifts and treasures the scarlet one had collected for his mate. Stepping backwards he smiled," Its not much but I think that something reflecting beauty all around would be the perfect gift. If you sit it on something and you both look into it... well its like you'll be even closer to one another."
Feena beamed still envious of such a beautiful ball, but was proud of Yuuri for letting it go. He really was something... she admitted that for now.
Zaribe beamed at the two new gifts bobbing his head with great admiration. "Thank you. Thanks to both of you I'm getting closer to my goal." He ruffled his own wings thinking where next he should roam.
Bowing his head with gratitude he smiled, "I must now seek others in my quest, but I'll never forget you two." Spreading his wings he looked at them one last time, "Someday I'd like you both to meet my Sunny Rainbow." Then he cradled the basket between his teeth and leaped upwards towards the cerulean sea high above. His great wings catching the sunlight as it reflected the painting that proudly displayed upon his rump.
As he had taken to flight Feena noticed the painted parrot and rainbow. Sunny Rainbow. "Ah I see now," she noted with a smile," A sun, rainbow, and a parrot....wonderful colors."
Yuuri nodded to her watching Zaribe fly away with his new treasures, "I hope he returns to her safely, she's a lucky mare to have someone so dedicated."
Feena looked slyly at him, before she nipped his shoulder, "Hey dreaming boy. There's treasure to be found. Are you coming?" Smirking she picked up her own treasure pouch and flitted herself in the air, reaching her own to the sky around her.
Yuuri blinked," Ahhaha yeah I'm coming," he called out thinking of the little mare high above him. Maybe she'll be lucky too. Ah Yuuri stop thinking of her as a mate, she's not going to think highly of you otherwise. But, still she sure is pretty.
Laughing, he swept his great wings outward and caught up to her far off in the distance. Sleet Tempest Snape  Newly grown from a foal, Lyra had left his home for a walk to try out his longer, larger, legs. Out in the grassy plains Lyra looked very much like the night sky above him. A breeze blew his long hair about his adult form as he stood up on his two back legs only his front two seemed to reach for the sky before settling back upon the ground.
Leaning down to nuzzle some of the violet flowers sprouting from the grass he inhaled the lovely, soft, delicate scent. Lifting his head his hair falling about his face he shook his head a few quick times and nearly fell onto his back legs as he lost his balance for a few moments, he wasn't quite used to quick movements on these new legs. ~Latonia de la Courtel~ 
Prancing along through the forest, Aureate hummed to himself, tail swishing soflty over the emerald grass, a black velvet bag -hanging from a drawstring- in his mouth. Within the seemingly plain black bag were some of his most precious findings...
A gift for one in need...
Fallen stars were rare, and to find samples as such as these, one had to be looking veeery hard... ( Stars they may not be, but they looked like they were...) And Aureate had never seen rocks shine like this, so he carried a few of them in a small black pouch, hoping they would bring another stallion luck.
Stumbling across a stranger, Aureate flipped his ears forward. Was this the one in need of the perfect gift for his dainty love? Perhaps... With a shrug the black winged stallion paced forward, head held high and proud. He had a bag of stars, perhaps they would be something akin to what the other sought.
Aur's personal favorite of those he offered, a large white one that reminded him of the northern star, was foremost on his list to offer the stranger... It glittered with all different lights and colors, and seemed to glow like it was still up in the sky.
"Hello?" He rumbled, setting the bag between his forehooves so he could speak. Lorako "You're welcome" the mare said just before the stallion left. Then she moved towards her home too. She wondered when she will see her mate, he was as romantic as this stallion for sure. She smiled as she walked and disappear from the place where they where. Caitlyn Hellstorm  Frosta stood at the base of the mountains with a smile on her face, she knew that something brought her down to the base of the mountains for some reasons. The single gust of the wind blew toward her and caused one of her mane to fall between her ears as she looks up toward the skies for some reasons. Isabella decided to break off from her mate and took two days to reach to the mountains to see her mother standing there with a grin on her face and staring up at the skies. "Mama... what are you doing?" A younger yet bulkier (got body frame from her dad) mare inquires with a grin on her face. She never was found without a smile on her face at all.Rein_Carnation ~Sleet
The night was a wonder as Zaribe noticed a thousand lights smiling high above him. A canvas stretching so far that blackness was a flowing sea with many different hues of light here and there.
Noticing a stallion that was like a fallen star, the parrot approached with a wise smile pausing momentarily to place his basket amongst the soft grasses nestled about it. Clearing his throat he was about to speak, when another voice as lyrical as a bell caught his ears.
"Excuse me? Oh Lyra... hee hee it's you, " she chimed with a toss of her long flowing white silken hair. A silver elegance that contrasted deeply within a sea of dark blue as a million lights shimmered on her body.
She nodded her head with a giggle as her long diamond spiral shimmered with a bright light. Her mouth was carrying the most beautiful white lilies as they hung gently outward. It seemed a chore to speak with such a mouthful, but she managed quite well.
Zaribe looked between the both of them coming to the conclusion that both were related, perhaps even brother and sister. They reminded him of the strange mare that came and went with both a horn and wings. Clearing his breath he spoke clearly now that the basket was lying at his feet safely.
"Hello Soquili of the Starlight, Pray tell do you think you'd both have a moment to help a devoted stallion on a quest for his mate's love?" There was something different this time around with his words, more flowing yet positively still keeping in his gentlemanly way. Both looked as if they'd perk their ears to his plea, perhaps he would be right and find more for his beloved. But, also he'd gain more friends if they'd accept his proposal.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Latonia
The darker stallion whose wings glittered golden in the hue of the sun's touch made the parrot's eyes sparkle. The rumble from the other's voice was a welcoming one, and Zaribe took that as an open invitation. Remembering his recent encounters he swept his head downward with a display of his colorful appendages as they caught the sunlight warmly upon them spread as proud as an eagle. His mane poured downward in a primary river as the stallion's deep words of his own expressed themselves.
"Greetings," he spoke with a bright smile lighting his eyes to a rich brown, "I'm on a quest for my beloved, ah would you be able to help me?".
A bag of velvety black sat between his forehooves which interested Zaribe, but no he had to keep focused or returning back to her would become more of a chore than a pleasure.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Cait
Zaribe with presents in tow carried on his flight now destined toward the looming mountains that seemed so tall and overbearing. His wings feeling a slight nipping cold as they flecked with bits of ice. Shivering he pulled his wings closer and descended toward the base of the mountains, nearing in on an angle as the wintry winds nudged him a little faster than he would have liked. His hooves stepped upon hardened rock as a layer of ice covered over top, making footing a bit treacherous as his feet slid a little.
Snorting he placed the basket by the soft fetlocks of his legs, checking to be sure nothing has been damaged from the cold updraft the bold stallion traveled within. Shaking his head he nudged the remaining sugarplum that was alright to claim, eating it strangely fast with a few swift chomps of his maw.
When he was satisfied he looked about him still shivering. Never would he understand why the ice mare liked the cold as she did. Merely a secret she must possess he guessed. In any case his curious guise had caught a glimpse of two mares that remotely reminded him of Celendria in a few ways, more than one actually. His warm fetlocks resting on the basket from the cold made him think... would it be alright to bring it out in the cold or stay standing and maybe they'd notice him.
A big red parrot colored Soquili.... I think they would. Sleet Tempest Snape Looking up from where his attention had been ears pricked he smiled at the sight of his sister. "What are you doing out this eve?" He asked softly his head tilting to the side as he took in his sisters grown form, flowers and all.
"And why the flowers sister dear?" He inquired before his attention was captured by a rather bright stallion making his way toward them both.
Laughing softly at the greeting he bowed his head lightly in greeting at the other male spoke. "Good evening to you stallion of the rainbow." Lyra greeted his voice soothing and calm as he spoke.
"How is it that we can help you this fine eve with your quest?" He asked softly rather intrigued by this stallions need for help with a quest.
"I do believe we can help you, right sister dear?" He asked turning his cyan gaze to his horned sister. Caitlyn Hellstorm Isabella was the first one to notice the striking red stallion standing few feets away from them and her eyes squints slightly because she recalls hearing about a parrot-looking stallion that have captured their rainbow-haired herdmate's heart. A huge friendly smile spreads across the younger mare's face as she approaches Zaribe. "Let me guess.. you are the parrot-boy? Zaribe yes?" She grins more as she glances at her mother whom looks equally happy to finally meet the exclusive parrot stallion whom is also the mate of the blushing mare whom couldn't stop blushing everytime she speaks highly of Zaribe.When the older dark blue mare felt the nudge of her daughter, she turns her head in the same direction as Isabella seeing a brightly-colored stallion. Frosta bows her head briefly in a greeting as her eyes gleams with amusement because she is on the same wave as her daughter.. knowing that the parrot stallion in front of them is Tic's mate. "Let me introduce ourselves.." She moves up behind Isabella slowly. "I am Frosta and this is my lovely daughter Isabella but we call her Izzie for short. I believe you are here for some assistance yes?" She grins good-natured as her tail flicks to one side while looking at Zaribe then finally spotting the basket almost full with things. "Looking to bring Tic back the full basket of gifts, yes?" Caitlyn Hellstorm "Zaicate.. why didn't you tell me about Shizuka?" An annoyed male voice floats from the forest as silver tiger-striped stallion walks around after his irate daughter whom is obiviously not interested in telling him about the guy she hopes to be mated to. "Zaicate! I forbid you to go near Rahu's sons or be a lifemate to them" He looks at Zaicate with a troubled look on his face. "Zaicate.. I don't want you to get hurt.."
Zaicate was trying to get away from her father by walking deeper into the forest but its not working because her father is just as stubborn as her. Growing frustrated and irate, Zaicate just merely walked toward to the edge of the forest without even uttering a word to her father. "My life.. my mate.. buzz off." She says in clipped tone as she shot her father a warning glare before she shakes her head while picking up her pace to quick trot to gain more distance between him and her.

{ORP} The Perfect GiftRein_Carnation Sleet~
Cassi once again giggled as her horn shimmered to an almost blinding effect before it paused and became quiet once more. She was quite used to such things as they came and went, and well the light from her spiral made even the deepest shadows fade away.
"Oh Lyra, " she trilled with another giggle, followed by the glistening light, "You know we both love the night as much as our parents. As for the lilies? Hmm I don't know... They just looked so pretty, so I decided to pick them."
The red winged however she'd seen, if only a few glimpses growing up. He was from Celendria's herd, that she knew. "Why of course Lyra," she nodded and bowed her head to the scarlet male, "Anything you need I'll do my best. Please tell me what you seek."
Zaribe noted the mare a bit more, a young charge that had been in Celendria's watch before her mother returned. He'd never gotten to learn her name, but he agreed she had grown quite beautiful as her mother that fell from the stars.
"Wonderful," the stallion nodded with an appreciative bob of his head, "What I need is a gift, a perfect present to reflect my love for my Sunny Rainbow." He smiled at the both of them and waited.
Cassiopeia paused for a moment then giggled lighting her horn. She had the perfect idea that was inspiration from a moonlit walk. Stepping forward she held the lilies in her mouth befure placing them in his basket, "There. These symbolize love and purity. I think anything can be beautiful if one thinks it so."
She then turned to Lyra seeing what he might have to offer.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Cait
His eyes couldn't have lighted up anymore as his rump wiggled with excitement, someone knew about Tic, let alone two! His eyes shimmered with so much happiness. "You've seen her? How is she? Is she doing alright?" The words came so fast he ignored his usual approach to new faces and just acted of himself.
Coughing he smiled, "I mean hello there mares of the icy land. You're looking well this day." He smirked laughing as he tried containing news about his beloved. Seemed the etiquette mode had cracked and the parrot was left. Still he was trying to be polite and did the sweeping bow of his head.
He regarded them both with a big smile, though he tried keeping respectable. The shivering had ceased in his wings, now that he had a warmth of thinking about her. He looked down at the basket and nodded enthusiastically, "Celendria sent me on a quest for the perfect present for my Sunny Rainbow," he beamed quite proudly watching them both,"Since you know her quite well, would you have anything to offer? The sooner I fill the fasket, the sooner I can come back to her."
Jis gaze followed from one to the other looking positively radiant.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Cait
Zaribe now carried a basket filled with many glittering treasures, yet it still didn't carry enough to prove for Celendria. She was counting on him to follow through, and he planned on doing so. Holding his head high he trotted along the forest, basket in tow.
Pausing though in walk he heard an angry sound, not as mean as he thought though. A stallion followed after a mare which resembled him greatly. Intriguing. Well these two, maybe the mare could help him, or maybe he stepped into a bad timing. Either way he had to try and hope for the best.
So, he paused there like a great red beacon holding his basket, as the younger mare approached him. Amirynth A long scroll tied to her blue back and a small satchel slung across the other side was the only inclination of the troll's new quest. Malis Made her way across the golden sands and stared out over the ocean blue. The salt in the air was refreshing and the blue mare grinned as she felt her heart beat in excitement. It had been a long time since she had truly quested, thoughts of the scroll she had coverted for a while sent a tingle up her spine as her mind imagined the adventure that spread out before her. Zayll was off somewhere on her own quest so Malis was left along for the day. Not that she minded, the zombie had a tendency to argue with her reasoning, as if a troll's reasoning was ever wrong! Shaking her head she continued on before noticing a glinting in the sand.
Curious she stepped up and was delighted to find those golden shells that she had been looking for. Malis had a small stash of these sparkeling crustacians whish were perfect for adding into the mane and tail. She had planned to gether some up for Tai'jin now she was grown but was loath to part with her own stash. With delicate movements, the troll reached down and, making sure her tusk wasn't in the way, she tilted her head to the side to gather up the golden shells and place them carefully in her satchel. After making sure they were safe she wandered along the beach to find some more... Caitlyn Hellstorm Frosta grins as she walks over to one small bush that have beautiful bleeding heart flowers growing all over which is odd for them because they don't grow during the cold season or near the mountains so this is a sign that they are here for Zaribe to give to his pregnant mate. A hidden smile flickers through her eyes as she remembers the encounter she had with a very worried Tic just a day ago. "Zaribe.. heres my gift to you to give to your 'Sunny Rainbow'" She says as she pulls one small branch off with few bleeding heart flowers hanging on them.  Isabella laughs happily at Zaribe before she grins widely at him. "Tic is doing amazingly well!! little impatient for her parrot to return." Her eyes sparkles with amusement as she watches the parrot with a grin on her face. "Its our pleasure meeting you. OH!!! Hold on just a minute.. mama.. that amber..." She murmurs ot her mother and got the approval so she darted up to the cavern then came back 5 minutes later with a oval shaped amber rock with a beautiful budded rose encased in it in her mouth. She gingerly walks over and drops it in the basket in front of Zaribe. "This is very special to all of us and I am sure Tic will treasure this because its symbol of everlasting love." She glances up at the parrot with a happy smile. --------------------------------------- Zaicate suddenly stops as she arches her eyebrow at the stallion that looks like parrot boy Tic kept talking about. Before she met Shizuka, she thought it was a bug that is going around if Tic talked about any stallions like that but now she finally understood the true meaning of the love. But she is still very confused about everything. The small and slender mare stood in front of Zaribe. "Are you that parrot boy Tic kept talking about?" She arches her eyebrow in curious yet oddly not mocking manner. She is wearing a tribal looking necklace that she found hanging on the tree around her neck.
Zahariah stops shortly right behind his daughter, almost colliding into her. He peers over his daughter's head and sees Zaribe and he arches his eyebrow then he moves around to Zaicate's side. "Greetings.. I am Zahariah and this is Zaicate.. I would like to apologize for my daughter's brash attitude.. " He shot Zaicate the LOOK which caused Zaicate to fall in sullen silence but with now polite air around her. "But I would have to echo Zaicate's question.. are you.. by any chances Tic Tac Toe's lifemate?" He peers at the winged stallion curiously. Sleet Tempest Snape "Yes we do both so love the night...it makes me wonder where our brother is this eve." He spoke softly, soothingly.
Nodding to her comment o nthe lilies they were indeed very pretty and leaning down for a smell he nodded once more in approval, they smelled lovely.
Hearing the rainbow bright soquili's request he thought for a moment before nodding to himself before he spoke. "Wait a moment and I will get you something." Lyra said before turning, his tail lashing through the night air, as he went to get something.
Not to far fro mthe two he soon did return a group of yellow flowers in his mouth. Bending over the basket he set the flowers inside. "While simple and seen as a weed beauty can be found in everything even something simple, as beauty is not only visual but in the meaning behind the item...." Lyra spoke wisely as he lifted his head slowly from the basket.
Inside the baskte, next to the lilies were the small bright yellow dandelions. Rein_Carnation Sleet~
Cassiopeia nodded approvingly of the bright yellow noting the symbol upon the Soquili's rump. Sunny Rainbow. Why of course his mate was yellow and rainbow, and he is the colorful bird. A perfect match as she thought about it even more accompanied by her horn lighting up as she laughed in a sweet giggle.
"Aww Lyra so sentimental," she mused bobbing her head in a swaying motion, "I think that was a perfect choice, since it sounds like Zaribe's mate is as bright and cheerful as the flowers.
Zaribe also thought of the simple sediment and chuckled, "Coming from the jungle, Zi and I never imagined we'd see so much yellow that covered the fields and land. Though they're considered weeds, I think they're very beautiful. I think Tic will appreciate something that joins in her shining happiness. Thank you Lyra, and you as well Cassiopeia."
Cassi nodded her head with a bright smile, "I think I've seen you before Zaribe, around Celendria's herd. Am I right?" She tilted her head still smiling in awe of the gorgeous painting the parrot displayed, "I grew up there for a bit when mom went away to find dad."
Zaribe smiled and nodded with a wide grin, "Yes I have, though lately I've been by Tic's side till now. I long to be back with her, but for now I must complete this test. Only then can I return to both Celendria and my sweetheart."
Nodding his head he thanked them once more, "Sadly I can not stay... but someday I hope Tic can meet the both of you. Thank you." Leaning down he grabbed the basket and took to the deep sky above him, wing beats pulsing through the air as each pushed him higher. The basket was now gaining weight, but it didn't cause him to falter so easily. He was a great stallion of strength and willpower now.
His love would see him through.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Frosta's gift reminded the parrot of the sweet magenta shades that ran throughout her mane and tail. Beautiful. Oh how he missed her he wanted to cry practically. But wait, Zi would think him silly being so paranoid wouldn't she? Ah nuts what was he to do? Act normal, that's how it was done. A proper greeting instilled lifelong happiness and friends. . but it was so hard right now.
Reaching outward he took the branch, thinking deeply of his mate.
Oh Tic....I miss you so incredibly much.
Isabella made him beam even more hearing how much his love missed him. Imagine that, someone other than Zi worrying about him as if he'd fallen off the wrong branch. He just couldn't keep from grinning thinking about it. The gift that shimmered of yellow made him feel even more warm.
"Well I really miss her too. Not a moment goes by that I don't wish I was back home, but I can't disappoint Celendria who is going to be an elder very soon. I need to keep my wings ruffled and my legs strong." His chest puffed up deeply letting him look like an over sized parrot that was grinning way too much.
"Ah I'd love to stay and chat, but I need to stay focused. Please come by when I return and see us," he whickered with a hasty urgency but stopped and looked deeply at the both of them, "Tell her I'm coming home soon... I just have to find her something first. She's always with me, especially now, in my heart. Please tell her that for me. And... thank you both so very much"
Leaning down to pick up the basket he flicked his tail. Soon he'd be back with her. Soon. Not a another thought held him there as he galloped away, holding the basket tightly in his grip.

A lucky day indeed spilled out before the scarlet male, for two more of Tic's herd had graced his path. He bowed his head eagerly though kept an almost perfect approach to his greeting. A gentlemanly nod and sweep of the long flowing tricolored river he was born with. Only his tail was contained in various braids and feathers.
"I am indeed Zaribe whom loves his Sunny Rainbow very much. I do hope she's doing well," he finished lifting his head upward to gaze at them both, "Which reminds me why I'm out traveling. Celendria has entrusted me with a quest for my mate. Perhaps you can help?"
He went on and told his famous story it seemed, of all his meetings and Celendria's words of returning to her to show the gifts. Curiosity struck him that possibly these two might be able to contribute something. He was quickly learning not all soquili were alike, and sometimes were deeper set than others. Where there were the cheerful there were also the glum or cynical, scared, or looney. Whatever the case he was enjoying himself and musing quite happily as the basket filled even more each time he met someone else knew.
~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~
~Amirynth
Zaribe had found many a treasure, and came across the most amazing souls that lived as the beautiful creatures known as Soquili. His promise to Celendria was indeed true and faithful, a lot more to say now than a few years back. Where he stood focused and centered now, back then he was reckless and carefree. Not even a thing such as love could change his mind. Simply a wild bird spreading its wings out as far as they could reach. Everything was a game, an enigma that always teased him. Now it was as if his eyes were finally open for the first time.
Looking down in the basket he smiled at the colors and items, my how lovely she'd look in the different things. A Princess to behold.
His flight though brought him toward the "big blue" as Kimimela called it once more. Though he was on the opposite shore than where he'd met the magnificent water stallion that graced him with a pretty shell wrapped in seaweed. Landing neatly accompanied by a flick of his braided tail, he stepped once more into the earth that seemed strange as it sucked around one's hooves. His eyes scanned the golden sands that reflected the sun high above, bits of minerals making it look like a glittering sea.
Catching a glimpse of movement he stretched his neck concentrating. Seemed to be a blue mare that was searching for something that the most unique hair. Shining hair clasps inlaid through out her mane and tail. Amazing. Walking over slowly, so as not to startle her, he placed the basket by his feet before he spoke, "Good day to you. I am Zaribe of the jungle. Might I say you have the most interesting hair I've ever seen"
During his introduction, he bowed his head sweeping his mane. Always a plus to be discreet when talking to others. ~Latonia de la Courtel~ Aureate smiled. Ah then! So this was the one he was suppossed to seek out.. Sibalto would be pleased then... A pity the silver stallion could not be here to help present the gift, but he was at home with his new foals.
Aureate could not blame his Godfather.
"I come with gifts from across the sea, a wish of good luck from myself and my 'Godsire' Sibalto..." He nosed at the bag, letting the star-like jewels tumble out. "If any of these would help you in your quest... Please, take them..." Caitlyn Hellstorm Zaicate listens to Zaribe's story before she went silent for little bit and ponders about this gift she should give to Zaribe to give Tic. Zaicate heard from Izzie that Tic is expecting so each gifts will really count and mean so much to her. She looks down at the tribal arrowhead necklace that hung around her neck. "Zaribe..." She says as she bends her head down straight so the necklace slid right off her neck. "Take this to your mate.. the two-legger gave it to me and it is meant to be given to other as a gift so I am giving you this." Zaicate says as she picks up the necklace and moves toward Zaribe's basket then drops it in there. Zahariah was already pawing at something in the ground that caught his interest while listening to Zaribe. A huge smile appears on his face as he sees a heart-shaped amethyst laying among the leaves. "I found a perfect one.. but its little bigg." He says before he picks it up after little of trouble with trying to find out how to fit it between his teeth because it is the size of a normal female's human hand. He drops it in the basket of Zaribe with a grunt and he looks up at the parrot. "heart-shaped stone..a symbol that your love will contiune forever." He simply says with a grin. "Zaicate.. I think we should let this parrot go since he want to get back to his beloved." He glances at his daughter whom just nods lightly.  ---------------------------------------- Above the forest where Zahariah and Zaicate is, a mother and daughter was on their way to meet up with Frosta and Izzie just like Zahariah and Zaicate is. It is the sight to see.. a small brown mare soaring along side with her alicorn mother. "Mama... look.." Rowenya calls out to her mother as she spots the red among the forest. "Lets check it out.. race ya!" She shouts over her shoulder as she zooms down to the forest while laughing out loudly. Rein_Carnation ~Latonia
Zaribe watched the darker winged with interest as his eyes wavered toward the half full basket. How on earth was he going to give his beloved this jumbled mess? Why it looked very much like his feathers when they were ruffled and unkempt from moments of play or a fierce wind.
Had he even checked his feathers lately he wondered. How long had it been since he had preened plumage keeping them orderly and nice?
Flicking his eyes back to the other stallion he nodded quite appreciatively, "Indeed they will. They glitter like my mate's eyes, so she will cherish them as much as I have my gratitude for your God sire and yourself."
Zaribe smiled once more craning his neck downward to retrieve a few of the pretty stones, then placing them in the basket with the other well received gifts. He wasn't a glutton to take all of them, for there were probably others out there that might like such beauty a stranger could offer.
Raising his head upwards he nodded, "I hope that Tic Tac Toe and I will get to meet your God father, and perhaps someday we will cross paths once more. I'm sure she'd like that."
He sighed contentedly thinking of being with her. Just the Parrot and the Sunny Rainbow standing there quietly, reminiscing the love they shared.
"I apologize my my quest is still waiting for me. Again my thanks, and I wish your Godfather happy thoughts with his new family".
Then with a slow moving sweep of his head, Zaribe lifted the basket and started off towards the forest. The basket was getting heavier day by day as his heart was soaring to the anticipated time of his arrival back at her side.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Cait
Zaribe watched the father and daughter with interest. There was much he had to learn of Tic's friends. Heck even she didn't know most of Celendria's herd. Though the ice mare had one that was more of a "sanctuary" than a well placed gathering of soquili. They all lived in harmony there, and the best thing about it was you could come and go whenever you wanted. There was no curfew or restrictions for anyone. Just do as you please, respect the two-leggers that aided them, and listen to the ice mare's words. That was simply all there was to it.
Zaicate's gift of her own doing made his mouth drop with complete surprise. Something given to her my her two-legger was being offered for a token of the stallion's own love to his mate. Incredible. He was speechless for a moment letting things flicker and reflect to what he just witnessed.
'And I am indeed honored you'd give up something so precious for Tic. You are a very generous Soquili." he nodded smiling highly at her father, "I think even in her own stubbornness, she has a very good heart. Remember that."
Now he watched Zahariah with interest as well as he pawed the ground. A gorgeous stone lie there similar to the pendent that Feena had offered, only this one was much bigger and in the shape of a heart.
"Yes. What a nice colored shade too. she'll love it!" he smiled with a charming grin, "I think Tic will thank the both of you when she learns what you've offered." he nodded before bending down to lift the basket. So many things now peeped back at him with a smile of their own in twinkles and shimmers.
"I think I'll be coming around more often, so I think I'll see you two around more. Take care."
Then he retrieved his basket and stepped off toward another destination. So soon he wished he was back by now.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Zaribe was moving along away from the other two, when he heard a thundering of hoofbeats coming towards him. Immediately, he whirled around almost loosing a couple of the now scattered lilies that Cassiopeia had given him. Panicking he placed the basket on the ground, nosing the flowers back to a more suitable position.
The laughter of a child echoed closer as his ears perked in curiosity. Whom now was approaching even closer to where he stood. Instinctively, he nosed the basket between his great forelegs just in case the basket might get bumped. He'd really have to organize it before he went back, or ask Celendria to help him with such a thing. Rein_Carnation ~Latonia

She skids as she hits the ground and looks up at Zaribe with an sheepish grin on her face. "I am very sorry about that.. I never was very go-.... oh my gosh..." Her eyes went wide as she took a very good look at Zaribe. "You are the parrot boy Tic have been speaking about!" She excitedly says as she moves around to look at the stallion's rump. "I knew it!!" She crowed triumphantly. A slightly larger alicorn mare lands next to Rowenya gracefully before she noses the talkative daughter to make sure that she is all right. "Zaribe? If that is you, I apologize for my talkative daughter. I am Christabel and this is Rowenya." She says with a gentle smile on her face as she flutters her wings. "There is a quite collection you got there!" She looks at the basket with interest. "For your mate yes?"Amirynth Rein_Carnation Zaribe had found many a treasure, and came across the most amazing souls that lived as the beautiful creatures known as Soquili.

"Wa, thank ya! Ah be tryin' t' keep it nice. Mah hair be mah favorite t'ing about me, ah be thinkin'." Malis made her own bow of greeting in response to his before watching him with bright red eyes. "So what ya be doin' so far away from t' forest? That be a very nice place t' live an' ah not be one t' leave a good place unless ah be on a quest." She motioned to acknowledge the satchel and scroll case she had tied over her back. Turning back to the stallion with another toothy grin she carefully kicked a small patch of sand with her back hoof where another golden shell lay. She would pick it up when they were done. "Mah name be Malis, what ya be called around these parts?"samus x  Dyami walked alone with a small rose in his mouth. it was ment for Settia his mate as he liked to sometimes go off and find something for her like a gift so that he could so he still loved and cared for her. a small grin was on his face as he carried the red rose. even with his odd color of white, red and green it could be seen he was a proud stallion dn definitely was proud right now as he carried the flower in his mouth.Rein_Carnation ~Samus
Zaribe carried his wonderful present idly as it hung from his mouth. Now with the newly added things it was starting to cause a numbing pain in his mouth that caused him to rest a lot more often. Placing the basket down he maneuvered his maw by wiggling it a bit then stretching. There was some really nice blades of grass nearby that were calling to his stomach. Pausing he wondered if it wouldn't hurt to eat just a little. Tic would understand that even he got hungry spells right?
So he indulged and cooed at how sweet the grasses were, though it was Fall and turning colder. Not as bitter as winter grass, but this definitely would sate his appetite for the time being.
A noise caught his attention, someone was nearing closer. He stopped chewing, standing rather still just to listen. To his senses he knew it to be a stallion or a really well built mare in strong legs. This made him chuckle to himself reminding the parrot just how silly he could be.
Now he'd wait and see just who was arriving, not to mention finish chewing his breakfast before he spat it out trying to talk.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Amirynth
Well now this was something quite different than he was used to, but he didn't take that as something wrong either. Another soul that was quite different than others was never to be disregarded or ignored. Though her tongue was a bit hard to decipher, her words and attitude were rather chipper and open to trust. So the scarlet stallion looked at her in a different light and responded with a wonderful placed grin, "Greetings Malis. I am Zaribe of the jungle... but you may just call me Zaribe if you wish". His voice was rather deep though it carried a bit of playfulness that stood on the tip oh his tongue.
"You do keep your hair in really good condition. I'm like that with my feathers, one out of place and it needs fixed right away. My mate never fusses with me about it, so I'm thankful for that." He smiled bobbing his head before his eyes rested upon the basket where mostly the longer lilies were visible. "As for why I'm so far from home, I guess you could say Celendria the elder sent me out. You see I'm on a quest, a very special one to bring back the perfect token of my love for Tic. Thing is there's so many others have given, its going to be so hard to know which is the best." He ended that last word on an off note, for he really didn't know which she'd feel was the purest gift of his affection. Was it a rose, shell, necklace, flowers that she'd love him for? He couldn't even think of a start as to decide right at that moment.
Get it together Zaribe, remember you're on a quest for Tic.
Standing quite tall he ruffled his wings watching the troll. "And where are you from might I ask? Interesting tongue you have there. Zikeria and I came from the Southern jungles exploring. Been here ever since it seems."
He noticed the glittering shell by her feet, but he didn't dare breathe its presence right now. He was profoundly intrigued that someone interesting was taking time out of their day to chat with him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Zaribe braced himself as the crash landing came but a few feet from where he stood. The basket thankfully was safe, contents in place and settled still between his forehooves. He looked up to set sight on a younger mare dusted in a brown hue, winged, with a flowing cream colored mane and tail. She as well recognized him in an instant, circling with excitement to see the painting upon his rump.
He watched her, a smile slowly building into a greater grin at how spirited she was in temperament.
So this is another of Tic's family I wonder. Wow so many that I've run into in this quest. Hey at least I'll know them if we meet again, right?
"Yep I'm Zaribe. Wow Tic really talks a lot of me doesn't she?" He couldn't help but grin thinking to himself just how lucky he was to have such an amazing girl for his mate.
Other other hand, the older mare that shined of gold knew full well who he was. He shook his head with a smile, "No apologies Christabel. Seems I've been running into a lot of your herd this afternoon." He then recounted his meetings. "Lets see... Frosta, Isabella, Zahariah, Zaiacate, and now you two as well. I must either be really lucky or all of you are going to one certain place".
He gazed down at the basket and smiled stepping away to let them see his bounty of treasure. He was rather proud so much had been placed in there. So many others had helped him in his ploy to keep his promise to Celendria.
"Yes it is, "he responded with a proud purr in his chest that rumbled not soon after. "Celendria told me to go and fill this, with the help of other soquili, then I can return home to my Sunny Rainbow. I think its only going to need a few more things, then I can be with her again. I miss her so much."
He bobbed his head once more stretching his long wings, before placing them back upon his back. Perhaps soon a nap would do him wonders, as he had been moving for a couple days ow with no rest and very little food to forage. samus x Dyami started to hum to himself as he walked along not caring if any noticed him. he was in a rather good mood which explained the humming the normally silent and proud stallion. eyes glancing here and there he caught sight of a red wind stallion that had red, blue and yellow wings as he came into view. tilting his head as he came closer he found it somewhat odd for him to have a basket with him but then he might seem odd himself caring a rose about in his mouth. humming having long stopped he gave a nod to the other stallion and stopping a comfortable distance from him. it wouldn't due any harm to stop to meet someone on his way home to his mate. quote="Rein_Carnation"]
Standing in a field there stood a short perky little pony as she munched upon several tasty treats such as clover and a bit of spearmint. Her cute little form wasn’t too pudgy though it gave an appearance of it. Cute little dapples that made her blue eyes twinkle as she smiled now and then.
Swishing her tail she moved along the grasses plucking things here and there to her liking. A little steam of snowy white followed after her as a tail lied upon the stronger strands of grass. Here she was most happily, a kindred spirit that longed to be in the warm sun and simply be content. Perhaps a roll in the grass or a simple breath of air, was all it took to make the usdia known as Peaches to smile.
She giggled softly as a butterfly landed on the tip of her nose. Watching its large wings fan gently in a vertical motion it made her feel like a little foal. The brightly colored wings and tiny frail body so much like her. So little in that great big world it’s a wonder the butterfly didn’t become upset or embarrassed being so tiny.
Watching it flutter away she frowned, “Aww bye little butterfly. Come back soon okay?” It wasn’t easy to say if a butterfly could understand words or not, it was just the thought of at least trying to hope it understood.
“Is something the matter?"
Peaches blinked turning her head to notice a regular sized soquili mare that was dipped in an off blue with pretty pinks and purples for tresses. “Hmm? No it’s okay. The butterfly just had somewhere else to be, that’s all.”
The larger mare smiled, “Oh I see,” She responded with a dazzling twinkle in her eye, “Mr. Butterfly usually doesn’t stay around too much on pretty days such as this. He just likes to flit here and there saying hello. Then he flies high in the sky to find someone else.” She giggled with sweetness and nodded her head, " I’m Sweet Stuff. Who are you little one? Oh I don’t mean little in that sense, just usually comes out that way. If I’ve said anything to offend you, please know I’m sorry.”
Peaches blinked shaking her head with rapid movements, “No no… don’ be sorry Sweet Stuff. I’m used to being called small cause I am.” She stood as tall as she could, but still stretched her neck upward to speak to the blue mare. “Im Peaches. Nice to meet you, Sweet”.
“Well alright then Peaches. I just wanted to make sure I didn’t insult you or belittle because you’re your size and all. I do that a lot sometimes.” She murmured lowering her ears as her head drooped bit.
“Nah. You’re perfectly fine Sweet Stuff. Hey mind staying and chatting awhile? I’ve never really talked with any of the regular type Soquili before except Celendria.”
Sweet Stuff smiled her eyes twinkling in the warm sunshine. Such a cute little one.
“Sure, I have nothing better to do right now. I’d love to Peaches.”
(Enter Zaribe)
Zaribe yawned stretching his full wings, extending them to release any kinks that caused him annoyance. That rest had done him quite well it seemed.
All right. Now to find more soquili to help with my quest.
He nosed the basket fixing a few things and frowned. Seemed the flowers were wilting a bit. Water. That’s what they needed. So picking up the lilies he headed toward a small stream, placing the ends in for a bit. Meanwhile he drank quite heavily of the cool sparkling water as it trickled down his parched throat.
Ah so good.
His ears caught a sound that was echoing not to far off. Two female soquili in conversation. Perfect, Now he had two more to encounter about a gift. Picking up the lilies in his mouth, he then placed them in the basket once more. Then he decided to head over to speak with them.
What he saw were two soquili, one blue and a smaller one that was a dappled gray. He wasn’t sure on their names, but both had been in the clearing talking with Celendria once before. Seemed to be familiar faces he was running into lately. What a small world they all lived within.
Clearing his throat he attempted to get their attention.
“Greetings fair ladies of the meadow. How are you this fine day?” he queried with a bright wink and a smile.
Peaches was the first to respond since her little head was already straining itself to see who greeted them. “Ah hello there,” Good day to you as well. I’m Peaches. Nice to meet you.”
Sweet Stuff bowed her head with a twinkle in her shining eyes. “And I’m Sweet Stuff. Who might you be? I think I’ve seen you around the clearing before, just fuzzy on names.” She bobbed her head with a smile.
Zaribe grinned, “I knew I saw you two before. Peaches and Sweet Stuff is it? Well, I’m Zaribe. The red macaw parrot soquili you usually see hanging around the two-legger’s place. I’m on a quest for my beloved if you’d wish to hear my plea. Then maybe you can help me.”Rein_Carnation Peaches nodded enthusiastically, “Sure. And I’d love to help you whatever your quest is.”
Sweet Stuff smiled with a nod as well. I’d love to hear your quest Zaribe.”
The stallion began his tale, that starting with Celendria’s quest for him. He described each and every soquili he’d met, and how they helped him fill the basket. “And that’s all there is to it. I seek help from others and get one step closer to being by her side.”
Sweet Stuff pondered for a moment looking around her feet. Spying one of her favorite snacks she plucked a spring that wasn’t too large, yet it was full with green life within it. “Well one thing I can offer, especially for a sour tummy is these spearmint leaves. They also form a sort of heart like love, and they make everything smell so nice too”.
She then walked over and placed the spring in the basket, letting it fall slowly on top.
Peaches thought long and hard on a few things to offer, but none had really stuck out and grabbed her. Looking around she grasped frantically for straws. What to give… what to give.
Then she spotted something and smiled, “Well one thing I think you can give her is blue violets such as these. It means you’ll always be faithful and true to her heart in times that she needs you. Plucking her head downward she nipped a nice stem with a couple on it.
Nodding her head to him she shook the dirt from the roots and placed it as well in the basket. Then stepping back she weaseled her way to where she once stood.
Zaribe grinned at both sediments for each carried special meanings that both mares contributed. Spearmint that wafted into his nose was a new added delight, and the violets stood out amidst all the other shining oddities and gifts.
“Thank you both of you. Peaches… Sweet Stuff… Thank you for your lovely gifts. I’m sure my mate will love what you’ve given her. Even though I’ve been by her side most of the time, you’ll see me back in no time around the clearing.”
He nodded to them blowing out softly, “Now I must continue on my journey and hope soon I will be complete in returning to her.”
Peaches nodded, her perked ears swiveling with a swish of her long fluffy tail, “I wish you well Zaribe. Good luck getting back to Tic Tac Toe.”
Sweet Stuff nodded in unison with Peaches, “I agree. I bet she misses you terribly, but she’ll be so happy when you do return. Good luck.”
Zaribe bowed his head as he picked up the basket that he held firmly within his teeth. With a flick of his tail he was off to find a few more caring souls that would bring the basket to its desired fullness. Heading off in a direction of the meadow’s end, he kept high hopes everything would be done by nightfall.

{ORP} The Perfect Gift Rein_Carnation samus x Dyami started to hum to himself as he walked along not caring if any noticed him. he was in a rather good mood which explained the humming the normally silent and proud stallion. eyes glancing here and there he caught sight of a red wind stallion that had red, blue and yellow wings as he came into view. tilting his head as he came closer he found it somewhat odd for him to have a basket with him but then he might seem odd himself caring a rose about in his mouth. humming having long stopped he gave a nod to the other stallion and stopping a comfortable distance from him. it wouldn't due any harm to stop to meet someone on his way home to his mate.
Zaribe noted he'd glanced this stallion before talking to Celendra, or simply out on his own. Glory was friends with this one's daughter Tori. The parrots assumption was Dyami, an old friend of the herd, thought of as family. A kindred spirit that always seemed so tranquil when ever his presence was near.
"Greetings Dyami. It is I Zaribe from Celendria's herd. How have you been?" Truth be told he didn't know this stallion as well as the ice mare, but he knew his name at least. Maybe the other would know his name as well.
"Im on a quest from Celendria to help find my mate a perfect gift since we just recently accepted one another in love. Now I'm out finishing up the last of what I need to fill the basket and return to her not soon after. I just need to show Celendria I've accomplished my goal." He nodded to Dyami with a very polite gesture and breathed through his nostrils slowly, "Perhaps would you have an idea as to what I could give her ?"
Now he waited hoping he wasn't too impulsive in asking. His mind was furiously wandering for ideas so he could return soon. But was soon fast enough?Graceangel  Gabriella had been out and exploring the lands close to her mate's home. This was the first time that Mythy had left her by herself while he went to have some male bonding with his father and brother. She thought it was a great opportunity to explore the regions these horses lived in.
As she had wandered for a few hours, she came upon an area where a colorful horse stood. She saw many horses coming and going. She hadn't ever seen so many coming and going except for when she accompanied her two-legger to the human village. Was this where her kind went to make friends? After a short pause, she put a smile on, and she walked right up to where she saw several congregated.samus x Rein_Carnation Zaribe grinned standing there as the other approached him. A familiar face maybe speaking in tones of the wintry festive season. Reds, white, and green painted his body with nice spicy appearance of mint or something close.

Now he waited hoping he wasn't too impulsive in asking. His mind was furiously wandering for ideas so he could return soon. But was soon fast enough? Caitlyn Hellstorm "Oooh!!! A gift for Tic!" Rowenya exclaims excitedly as she looks around for something that she could contribute to the gifting. She tilts her head toward the fulgurite rock that is laying nearby. She recalls Christabel telling her about the rock that formed by the lightning hitting the beach or sand. A huge smile appears on her face as Rowenya trots over and picks the rock up gingerly. The small winged mare walks back to Zaribe and places the rock in the basket. "This is the stone that is formed by the lightning hitting the beach/sand.. should remind you and Tic of the skies." She smiles happily. Christabel smiles lightly at her daughter as she looks at Zaribe. "Since she chose the theme of the gifts we are about to give you.... I would like to present you with two feathers.." She plucks two white and black striped feathers from the ground. She places the feathers gingerly under the rock to keep it in the basket. "Feathers.. to remind Tic of a wonderful winged parrot that is going to protect her.." She trails off as she almost added "and the children she is about to have with you"
Christabel just chuckles as she smiles at Zaribe. "I think you better get going if you want to see your beloved soon" She winks at him as she looks at Rowenya. "We don't want to be late for the 'meeting' so come.." She nods to Zaribe then walks by him with Rowenya in tow. Amirynth Rein_Carnation Well now this was something quite different than he was used to, but he didn't take that as something wrong either. Another soul that was quite different than others was never to be disregarded or ignored. Though her tongue was a bit hard to decipher, her words and attitude were rather chipper and open to trust. So the scarlet stallion looked at her in a different light and responded with a wonderful placed grin, "Greetings Malis. I am Zaribe of the jungle... but you may just call me Zaribe if you wish". His voice was rather deep though it carried a bit of playfulness that stood on the tip oh his tongue.
"You do keep your hair in really good condition. I'm like that with my feathers, one out of place and it needs fixed right away. My mate never fusses with me about it, so I'm thankful for that." He smiled bobbing his head before his eyes rested upon the basket where mostly the longer lilies were visible. "As for why I'm so far from home, I guess you could say Celendria the elder sent me out. You see I'm on a quest, a very special one to bring back the perfect token of my love for Tic. Thing is there's so many others have given, its going to be so hard to know which is the best." He ended that last word on an off note, for he really didn't know which she'd feel was the purest gift of his affection. Was it a rose, shell, necklace, flowers that she'd love him for? He couldn't even think of a start as to decide right at that moment.
Get it together Zaribe, remember you're on a quest for Tic.
Standing quite tall he ruffled his wings watching the troll. "And where are you from might I ask? Interesting tongue you have there. Zikeria and I came from the Southern jungles exploring. Been here ever since it seems."
He noticed the glittering shell by her feet, but he didn't dare breathe its presence right now. He was profoundly intrigued that someone interesting was taking time out of their day to chat with him.
Snorting softly she listened to the short version of how he had gathered together quite a large collection before nodding. "Ah be thinkin' it not be t' gifts she be wantin' it be t' stallion. Though ah not be sayin' gifts don't help." The troll chuckled before turning a little more serious. "Why don't ya be thinkin' o' somethin' ya can give ya'self. Instead o' just givin' her t' trinkets and flowers from others maybe ya should give some t'ing from ya own heart too. Ya could think up a poem, or ya can take her somewhere special so she can see some'ting she never be seein' before." Malis had a sudden thought. "Ah be thinkin' that ya might need a bit o' help if ya decide t' take her explorin'. Ah be havin' this treasure map, maybe ya be findin' something special when ya get t'ere. An' ya also be gettin' t' spend time wit' t' one ya care for most." She knew there was nothing better then exploring than exploring with mates who wouldn't stab your back when the treasure was reached. As she had worked out the treasure was hidden in a secluded lagoon, the view would be nice too.Rein_Carnation ~Grace
Zaribe bid farewell to Tic's family, well herd she knew and loved very much. Such a wonderful feeling that washed over him in relief that she would be told he was safe from harm, and working very hard to be with her as well. The basket grew heavier day by day which rose his spirits to being with Tic sooner than he would hope. Bit what a mess of jumbled presents lied within that wicker sanctuary. Something just had to be done about the disorganization that was to be the biggest thing he'd ever offer to her.
Then he pondered the subject of foals someday deep in his mind. Would he make a dedicated father or like most stallions become annoyed and let the mare to raise them. Oh heck no... he could never do that to Tic or his future bloodlines. That wasn't like the show offish type parrot that he was. Why he'd want to be right there watching their first steps, or watching the winged ones soar to the skies. That's what he wanted out of life. Family and a future, which he had both nestled deeply in his chest.
His thoughts of family made him almost miss the pretty mare that bloomed like a new spring flower. Tulips adorned her golden locks of mane and tail as they streamed downwards like magical rivers. Her eyes a startling precious blue reminded the parrot of gemstones, so vibrant and shiny. Upon her head there grew a spiral and what was this? Why her wings were like Shaylee's, soft and fluttery. He never would of had the mere thought to ever come across one of such radiance.
This had to be a very special introduction indeed.
Clearing his throat he walked up almost to where she stood, placing the basket safely upon the ground before he began his greeting.
"Good afternoon beautiful spring flower that grows beautifully as she should, I am Zaribe of the jungle," he murmured in a deep tenor voice as a river of mane in red, blue, and yellow swept towards the ground. "And what may I have the permission to ask of you is your namesake?"
Then he spoke once more, "I am on a quest to bring something back to my beloved. An item that will fit in this basket yet symbolize and nurture the love I hold deeply for her. Would you like me to tell you my tale?"
He waited patiently so as not to startle her, for she seemed calm and so very sweet in his eyes. Rein_Carnation ~Samus
Zaribe chuckled himself that his mind wasn't failing him were it counted most.
Celendria had recounted most of her acquaintances with the rest of the herd, pointing out colors and personalities so even the flutter butter could understand whom the ice mare was referring to.
"Well Celendria has told most of us, in the herd that is, whom she knows best like Glory's friend Tori, Settia, and of course yourself." He nodded with a peculiar grin as his eyes raised in curiosity as the stallion placed the red rose within the basket. Friendship. Love. A rose was the symbol of one's heart as they willingly offered it to another they cherished. The deep set red along with Tic's striking yellow coat was perfect in contrast and statement.
Zaribe nodded with happiness as another gift was added to his mate's collection. And still those two sugarplums rested safely at the bottom uneaten. Oh the temptation that nipped at his fetlocks and withers daily.
He needed to eat something other than grass or he'd wither away at this rate.
"Of course I will," he grinned with a nod and slight bow of his striking white face upon red. He knew Celendria would be overjoyed that Dyami had helped in his quest too. "The ice mare has entrusted me with this quest, so I'm determined to find just a few more soquili that will help me then I return. Quite simple really. I think she'll be pleased I've done as she asked."
Flicking his tail he showed Dyami the painting upon his rump. Then he noticed the slice of paint missing from the rainbow and parrot.
But how did it happen? No! It couldn't of happened. But it was right there staring back at him.
Zaribe's heart sank feeling as if he let Tic's owner down. Now it wasn't complete, he was afraid to face either of them now. His grin faded into a solemn expression as ears and tail drooped quite heavily.
"Now I've done it.... I can't return with this ruined. What will I do Dyami?"
Suddenly the quest faded from his mind and all that lied there was a broken hearted mare for him being so careless.
Rein_Carnation ~Cait
Zaribe watched the Christabel and her daughter with an appeasing smile. Both were very cheerful and extremely nice to him thus far. Heck everyone he'd come across in his travels had made him feel just a little more appreciative of everyone around him. Was that what Celendria was trying to tell him through this quest? To trust and learn who all was out there? He knew full well thousands of Soquili contributed to this land and many others. The good, neutral, and even the evil made up the species he was part of.
Rowenya's gift was quite intriging being of the lightning meeting the sand below. Just like himself meeting Tic on that wonderful day. So many memories to ponder through and chortle about. Maybe some would bring tears, while others brought peace too. But all of them were there's to share.
Christabel had granted feathers combined of both light a dark. Red and Yellow. All in the same yet completely different. Protect, yes he desired to protect her throughout their long life ahead of them.
Her mentioning of seeing his beloved brought that familiar grin back to his face after the thoughts that had just accumulated like a fresh snowfall.
"Yes I agree. I should be on my way. Thank you Christabel and Rowenya. Please tell Tic I'm coming home real soon." He then nodded his head to them both with a fun wiggle of the rump, before retrieving the basket to set off on his journey once more. Rein_Carnation ~Amirynth
A present from myself?
He noted that quietly in his mind pondering a bit on what he could possibly give. Once he had fallen in love he was sure that was all that was needed to appease and show her his undying love. But, there was more he desired to give her. The world in a silver bucket, a million stars raining downward in diamonds, a sea of color as they stood side by side amidst one another. A foolish man's dreams to want the world for his soul mate, and yet was it really that childish as it sounded? He would indeed give her something of himself, at least when he thought of it. That had been the sole reason he had approached the elder in the first place. For the parrot, born of the jungle was quite indecisive and very impulsive when he wanted to be.
"Then I will find something to give of myself as I trot homeward bound to the finish of this long journey. I'm just not sure what, but I know I'll find it." He nodded with an achieving grin as it curved his deep muzzle dipped in black.
He peered at her curiously when the map was shown to him rather than the glittering shells. Perhaps an adventure with his Sunny Rainbow was just what they needed. Time to reflect and explore long forgotten places, and even find treasure if they were nimble and quick. For all treasure coves had always contained a price of sorts. A good breathtaking adventure was perfect as a gift to Tic.
"And I'd love to go on an adventure with her when I get back. I miss her so much being so far away," the thought was panging deep in his chest, "I do hope that we'll meet again sometime. I'm sure Tic would love to meet you for giving such a fantastic idea." He beamed and bobbed his head feeling quite ambitious, now knowing what Feena felt when she went looking for treasure and things that glittered like gold or silver.
Finally he looked toward the midday sun, "If I'm to reach the Forrest clearing by tomorrow morning I should be on my way sadly. Though I'd love to stay and talk with you about adventures you went on."He smiled with a curious wink, "I must depart and keep on my path so I make it on time. Promise me you'll go on an adventure with us sometime Malis. I think Tic and I would love the company."
Bowing to her with a gesture of his sweeping neck and mane he proceeded to pick up the basket that now held the treasure map securely in place.
An adventurer for us. You wait Tic. Wait for me.
"Thank you Malis. Thanks from the both of us. May you find your treasures and make your daughter happy when you return."
Then with basket in tow he started off nearing closer toward the clearing than he'd been in a long time. samus x lolz Rose image" ah no wonder you where able to know who i was so fast and thank you." Dyami smilied as he was happy he could help Zaribe out in his quest to find gifts for the one he loved. " i agree Celendria will be quiet pleased you have gotten your quest done." titling his head he noticed the painting done on Zarbi's rump that seeed to have gotten a tap messed up some how. seeing how upset Zaribe was he mused over how to fix the situation. " well why not return to the one who made the mark on your rump to have it fixed? i doubt a little stop to have it fixed would hurt anything unless your pressed for time."Parue Catori prances across the landscape, wondering in her normal ways in search of something to do. With a blink and tilt of her head she came to a stop, seeing something that caught her eye... it was a stallion, large and winged and colored like some great tropical bird. Though she wasnt one to comment on what was normal and what was odd, she herself was colored like one giant peice of candy. Her hair red and green like the colors of christmas, her legs triped like candycanes, and feathers/beads/shells with matching colors decorated her untill she clinked and chimed as she walked.
Something unusual else had caught her eye in her wonderings. Late in the crisp of fall a tiny but determined Flower had still managed to bloom, its petals curled and twisted into swirls protect itself from the oncomeing frosts of fall. It had been colored just like herself, a flower of striped red and white, with green to match her own hair. She had maanged to pick said flower and hook it the ties on her tail that her feathers were attached to. But now she saw this uniquely colored stallion and her mind wondered away from the oddity of finding a soft spring flower blooming in the cold winds of fall, and she pranced over, tiny crimson hooves sweeping her up to him with a xweet grin on her face. ' Helloy there. Now why in the world would you be lugging around that huge basket? " she asked, her ears tilting to the side as she asked, eyeballing the wicker structure with its variouse contense.
Samedi on the other hand stood quietly and watched the giant stallion. She had hauled one her sons out for this particular adventure and even though he was no please to be dragged around on the escapade he was there none the less. She watched, crimson eyes traped within the black confines of a ghostly glowing skull made her match the halloween atmosphere perfectly. Her main floated on the faint breeze like spider webs so she looked more spectre then soquili, but none the less she had made her way here. The elegant yet dark peice of metal work had been looked over her sons unicorn horn to insure it would not be dropped, and she carefully tuned out his complaints about being used as a "jewlery rack" as she watched the littel christmasmare so bluntly and loudly dance her way up to the stallion.
Misfortune growled and twiched his ears, not at all likeing the feel of metal against the spiraled red horn. A Bracelet had been looped around his horn and rested against his crimson skull. His mother had found it in some abandoned hut miles away, along with seveal other peices of metal work that could only have been brought over with the strange sadeled soquili from the new world,. but she had found it lovely, and taken it back to her teepee, the curves and loops perfectly fitted for a soquili of normal size, but she was a tiny littel thing and it has simply slid off of her hoof. so it stayed unused untill now. Leave it to his mother to be a packrat, and leave it to him to end up being a pack-mule. Still, he stood in relative silence waiting for his mother to move, she watched and waited, silent as the grave and he stewed in his own irritation. Amirynth "Ya be findin' me around t' forest. Ah be livin' near where t' river bends as it travels through an close t' Immi's glade. Ya can always ask for t' wolf, Zayll. She may be a little worse for wear but she be knowin' where t' find me. Maybe when ya have time Ah be commin' wit' but ah be thinkin' that t' first quest should be wit' ya mate." The troll smiled, a slight twinkle in her deep red eyes. Suddenly she frowned and her eyes grew far away as if she was listening to something. A small snort of indignition and a toss of her beaded dreads, Malis came back to earth and peered quizically at the parrot stallion. As if a decision was made she twitched her shoulder so that the satchel swung forward. "Ah be thinkin' ya be needin' these. Not for ya mate mind you. You be knowin' who these are for when the right time comes." With a careful flourish she pulled a few of the golden shells she had been gathering and gently dropped them into the basket. "Now ya best be off, ah be catchin' ya later, you can tell me what she be thinkin' o' t' gifts when I next see ya. Ah be meaning t' explore the jungles, they be seemin' like home t' me." The troll gave a fairwell nod and sarted her own way down the beach after picking up the shell that had been hidden by her hoof. The troll was sure her daughter wouldn't mind and she had plenty of time to find some to replace the gifts given, Malis began her search once more. Graceangel Gabriella gave a soft flapping of her lips as horses do sometimes when feeling slightly restless. She turned her head blushing and feeling modest. "My name is Gabriella. Thank you for the lovely compliment. You know, I do have something I could add to your gathering."
She crooned her head to the side and with her teeth gently nibbled a bloom off of her hair. After loosening the stem, she slid out the flower and dropped it in his basket. "That is one of my tulips. They were made a part of me when I was very young. While I was young, someone must have planted seeds for them in my hair. Whenever one falls off or is plucked, another grows in its place."
After smiling and straightening her posture up like the proper calm young lady she always was, she looked up at him. "I would be honored to hear your story. I've never heard of a.. quest before. I would love to hear it. I have lots of time..." Rein_Carnation ~samus
Go see the one that painted it? Oh no he could never do such a thing for Tic and her two-legger would see his carelessness. No he had to think on this a bit more.
"Maybe Celendria would know what to do when I get back. Perhaps that two-legger... what was her name? Ah Tirranna". Yes that was her name. She was capable of arts like the baskets she put color on. Dyami did have the right idea about seeking the two-leggers for help.
"Ah yes. Well maybe not that certain two-legger, but the one living near the clearing might. Great thinking Dyami." He smiled with a few bobs of his head as if he were an actual parrot.
Looking at the setting sun approaching he nodded to the other in agreement, "Yes, I am a bit pressed for time so I must be off, but I do thank you for the gift and your advice. Ever think of going for eldership? You'd be great at it like Celendria. Take care Dyami, I'm heading home to see my waiting love."
Nodding his head downward he picked up the basket admiring all the glittering, beautiful, and wondrous items he'd been given. Night would bring him to morning, just in time for a hearty breakfast for his now growling stomach. "Ah I feel like I could eat a horse. No wait... that's just wrong."
His humor was never ending and still peaked when he least expected it. samus x Dyami just gave a good chuckle at Zaribe as he mentioned the eldership thing when not too long ago he had talked with Celendria over it. " your welcome and i might have. also ether way i hope you get it fixed and cya around Zaribe. i do hope the gifts you have gathered will be pleasign to your mate." giving another chuckle he went on his way after he watchd Zaribe leave. it had been a very interesting meeting indeed and one he wouldn't forget.

{ORP} The Perfect Gift Rein_Carnation ~Grace
Zaribe liked Gabriela for she was calm and passive, seeing things in life and admiring beauty. Beauty. That's what spoke of her when his eyes soaked in the pastel warmth she released within her aura.
"Very well." He began with a deepness that rumbled within his deep chest.
"The day my mate and I admitted we loved each other, I decided she was deserving of a perfect gift. One that radiated her beauty and my love for her.
So, I set out seeking something that would support and prove what I sought. But, to no avail could I locate anything, always many things that leaped out saying they were the one.
He mused to himself now of a filled basket, definitely would be a chore picking the best. Why couldn't he just savor the moment and give them all to her, excluding the shells that were given to him my Malis of course.
"Celendria listened to my plea, asking me to set on a quest. To ask as many soquili if they could aide me finding things. Yes, I'm a scatterbrained so its difficult to decide really. So, here I am all over the land seeking aide from many a friendly face. I've been gifted for Tic with things I would have never pondered, and now your tulip shall be another that shall bring my mate more beauty than she ever would have imagined. So pure and perfect my Sunny Rainbow is. Though gifts to adorn her with a dazzling sight, she'll always be perfect in my eyes."
He bowed his head smelling the day grow old, time was fleeting so fast for him. But his love would be under his wing come tomorrow morning. This he couldn't wait for soon enough.
"I know that this is a short meeting, and I do apologize, but the sooner I will return, the sooner I can see my Tic Tac Toe again." He then bowed his head to grab the basket and paused, "I hope you find a mate that is as wonderful as mine. Any stallion should be lucky to have caring beautiful females that make them feel like they could take on the world."
Finally he spoke one last time after he captured his breath, "Thank you Gabriela. May you know happiness as I have. Please come and see us sometime. I'm sure Tic would love to meet someone that's been so generous to give something of her own."
Picking up the basket he stepped toward the shadow of the forest he knew so well. Only a bit more to go, then he'd be in Celendria's words of how well he succeeded. Rein_Carnation ~Parue
Zaribe was plain exhausted as he neared his sanctuary, which he referred to as home. Everything was weighing down the wicker that he kept firmly in his muzzle. It was so full now he wondered if it was time to return yet or not. Oh the irony of wondering what to do. The thought confused the stuffing out of the poor bird Soquili.
Catori's advance toward him soon made Zaribe realize that others were there to aid his quest once more. Strange how everyone was appearing out of thin air now that his task was almost completed. She reminded him of the sweet peppermint that was handed out among the great gift-giving season. The green and red were so festive it made him salivate. Cursing quietly within himself he warned not to think of food when he talked with another soquili. Ah such a bad habit he needed to break someday.
"Greetings mare of the..." pausing he noticed a familiar face standing off to the side, her eyes glowing with his every moment. Samedi. Now there was a soquili he hadn't seen in ages. He'd never say that she had always unnerved him with those eyes, but she was Celendria's adopted daughter after all. So tongue in cheek on this matter and for goodness sake stop ignoring the candy colored one.
Lowering his gaze away from the ghostly mare he cleared his throat, "I'm Zaribe of the jungle. I apologize for breaking my train of thought. I recognized a familiar face standing over there within the shadows." Creepy, that's still what he thought of the little deep colored angel that watched him and the herd daily. A skull base for a head and eyes that glowed with evil intent. Still how polite was he being uncomfortable that she stood watching him. “Greetings Samedi. I see that you are well.” It wasn’t the best introduction, but he was trying to be civil and not irritate her. Celendria would have him made into a rug if he ever remotely mentioned anything bad about her children.
He lastly noticed the taller male that seemed agitated. Ah this must be Samedi’s offspring, he thought to himself. "And greeting to you as well", he motioned to the stallion hoping he wouldn't have a nasty remark for Zaribe being so polite.
Clearing his throat he bowed to all of them, “I’m on a quest to find my beloved something that is most perfect, fitting her with beauty and my love that I hold dear for her. Celendria my elder has asked me to meet other soquili, and ask of them to contribute a gift that I may bestow upon her. As long as it fits within this wondrous basket, then I shall be one step closer to being rewarded of going to my mate’s side.”
He then looked at them in anticipation that each would help him fulfill his goal. So many memories the stallion was procuring, it was hard not to let all the faces of the others come and go in his journey. He held much appreciation for each and every one, hoping that they too may feel the joy and rapture of being with the one they loved. Parue “Well hi there Zarbie “ She said with a smile and listened to what he had to say. Her cheeks faded to a faint blush as she listened to his romantic tale. She always was a sucker for the romantic tail she felt inclined to help. Then suddenly a thought came crashing back into her head, making her give a happy little squeak. While he was distracted talking to the wraith like soquili she turned and tried to reach her tail. She ended up running in circles twice but eventually snatched the perfect little blossom from the leather feather tie, and turned back to the stallion.
There was no better symbol of undying love then a tiny flower having bloomed in the harshness of the fall frosts. With the delicate white and red and red rose blossom in her mouth she carefully put it in the basket, the striped petals nestling in with a collection of other flowers that he had seemed to already have collected. ‘ I found this earlier today, but I think you would find more use of it then I would, with me it would only wilt and serve no purpose but to keep my feathers company. “ She said, hopeing that the curled new blossom would not seem unfit for his quest. “
“ I hope your quest is successful “ she said, her smile sweet as the candy she mimicked.
Samedi cast a glance at the other small mare but otherwise paid her no heed. Nodding to Zarbie she started twords him, slowly and gracefull, her hooved silent on the ground as if they never touched, the faint sound of crunching leaves wisked away by her soft whispery voice that seemed to dround out everything else while still manageing to be quiet.
“ You seem to be doing fine as well Zarbie of the jungle. My mother told me of your quest and my guess was right in thinking you would come back this way.” Her hair floated around her as if caught on some phantom breeze, not looking behind her to make sure her son followed.
Misfortune sighed and followed, not looking at all too happy. “Hey “he said in response to the other stallion. He opened his mouth as if to make a sarcastic remark but as he came up beside his mother she glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes and he reluctantly shut his mouth. The few creatures in this world that could make him shut his trap so quickly were his mother, and his grandmother. Even his father allowed some witty banter.
“ You haul the spoils of your journey back to your mate I see ‘ she said, glowing eyes scanning over the basket, still speaking even though her eyes were not on zarbie ‘ We brought you something to add to your collection.”
And as if on queue Misfortune lowered his head, so the bracelet slid down his horn, right until it was resting at the tip. He swished his tail behind him in swift whip like motions, but otherwise he was still, his eyes narrowed at the other stallion as if daring him to make him hold this pose for long. Damned if he would be a jewelry rack for some tropical colored feather boy. Graceangel As the red colorful winged soquili departed from her, she bowed her head with soft pink on her cheeks. In her demure way, she drank in the serenity of the moment like a long drink of cool water on a parched throat. A warmth filled her cheeks when he mentioned finding a mate. Only just recently had she found one; she knew exactly what he meant.
When she lifted her head watching him leave, she admired his willingness to want to do something so thoughtful for his beloved. She mused to herself, "maybe what he was looking for... has been in his heart all along. He just had to go off finding objects before he'll know that his presence and love will be the greatest thing he will ever give her, giving to her everyday."
She smiled and turned to head on her way down the stream. She was so happy to have a wonderful story to share with Mythril when he came back from his family gathering. Rein_Carnation ~Parue
As his eyes stayed transfixed on Samedi and her son, he didn't notice Catori attaining a flower that rested within her leather tail tie. Though when she spoke of its importance his ears paid more attention to her serene hopeful words. Delicacy was what Tic was to him as a flower is to an entire field. Perfect, precious, subtle, yet she shined outward like a wishing star. She was everything to him, and no matter what the future brought, he'd never leave her side.
"And I shall appreciate that flower for it was bestowed from your own giving. Pure, precious, perfect, that's what I see with color for happiness. Even though Tic is bright, funny, and my love that fills my heart, she is still a flower that blooms like no other. Thank you."
He felt sure of his words, a new sense of self worth filling his senses completely as they made him a better stallion. Yes, he still was a goof ball, but that was the way he was and always would be Zaribe. He just was learning to be a bit more conversational with others.
Samedi approaching him caused his withers to twitch a bit, but you'd never notice with his wings blocking them. Thank goodness for feathery appendages, right? He held his bated breath, exhaling in politeness. "Yes actually it has. I'm so amazed how many strangers simply offered their belongings and presents to help me. I suppose Celendria was right in suggesting this journey. Samedi you have a wonderful mother, you should appreciate that in your heart." He then smiled and nodded as Misfortune offered the gift of Samedi.
His eyes widened at the sight of the glittering bracelet as it hung loose from the other stallion's crimson horn. A gift from Samedi, nowthere was something that caught the scarlet male offguard. She had to know he was uneeasy around her, though he did hide it rather well. Did his eyes deceive him perhaps, the parrot wondered this trying to figure out the little skull faced ebony mare.
The son wasn't much better on the eyes, holding a hostility well irritation just standing there. Zaribe wasn't going to query why Misfortune had been drugged along, or why he was made into a displayed jewelery rack either.
Nodding the parrot stallion walked over gingerly and reached over to retrieve the shining accessory. The metal tasted odd in his mouth, a twinge of strangeness gnawing at his tongue in coldness. For a moment he was reminded of the New World horses that were bonded to the pale faces. Cold strips of metal called bits were placed within their muzzles for direction, as one sat upon their backs.
Zaribe would never consider anyone on his back. He was a free spirit, a flying creature never designed for domestication as they were. Sometimes the great red stallion would pity those poor steeds.
Placing the bracelet within the basket, Zaribe blew out softly, "Thank you Samedi, Misfortune. You've also helped me as well to begin my trip home." He nodded then to the stallion, a signal for him to be himself, and not stand there like some floofy pri-Madonna displaying his mother's wares. Even Zaribe wouldn't tolerate that.
Finally raising his head he gazed upon all three of them and nodded one final last time, "I must depart, for night is arriving and I wish to be homeward bound before sunrise. Do promise me you all will come and see my mate and myself someday. I'm sure she'd love to chat and thank you for all your kind words and generosity."
Smiling he took in their appearances once more before he finally set out for the clearing where Celendria waited. Flicking his tail in a wispy motion back and forth, he picked up the basket and started home. Rein_Carnation Finally the morning was on its way as the twilight was giving into a brighter sunrise. The black canvas above was fading into the most gorgeous array of warm colors he could ever imagine. It was finally here, that day of reckoning that any quester could look forward to.
Zaribe was finally home.
Smiling with a swing in his step he walked rather proudly letting the basket sway gently back and forth. The parrot was rather proud of himself, seemed he traveled all over the land in a few short days. Wouldn’t Celendria be ecstatic with what he had to show her? So many helpinghooves and smiling curious faces. He simply couldn’t recount the times that he repeated his tale over and over. Somehow the scarlet winged felt surer of himself now more than ever.
As he rounded the bend there stood two familiar faces talking quietly. One being a fair skinned unicorn with deep brown curled long tresses. Her eyes set softly in the same color as her elegant mane that lied within an ornate detailed headdress circlet upon her forehead, around her ears. She finally was adorned with a silken white cape hanging gingerly soft upon her shoulders and back. Finally her tail was that of a lion sort that filled into a full silken tuft of her gorgeous hair, dressed in savory browns. Arwen was always a favorite of his for she was mysterious and always seemed so self -preserved.
The other was a winged carrying a fair coat that dressed in an odd outfit. Pink for that matter that fit on her body nicely. Her back feet carried what looked to be shoes, with white wings as soft as an angel’s own appendages. The tresses were mid length for a Soquili dyed in a reddish cranberry color as her violet eyes set off her whole temperament. Finally around her neck there hung a golden pendent. Kairi was always sweet and understanding, even to the silly outspoken parrot.
There was no mistaking that these two were indeed Arwen and Kairi, two strangers that arrived to the clearing at separate times. The only difference was Kairi had a nasty little rodent follow her, which might he add liked to steal things as well. He better not try anything with my basket. Zaribe was quite firm with this.
Stepping forward he nodded to them displaying the basket proudly, “Greetings Arwen and Kairi. I have returned from my quest with success!” It was quite a funny sound he made, for the basket still held firmly within his teeth. So talking with a handle in his mouth did have its disadvantage over his speech.
Arwen’s ears swiveled towards him as a light smile traced upon her face. So the parrot had completed the elder’s quest, there was something to be surprised at. “Greetings of the morn to you as well Zaribe of the jungle. I take it that your journey was quite eventful?” she spoke with a soft expression upon her face, a radiance the mythical unicorn held within her.
Kairi smiled and nodded her head to the brightly colored parrot Soquili. He always made her smile as Sora did when they were together. Who couldn’t like an overly showy stallion born to be flamboyant and bold in life? “Hello Zaribe. You look quite charming, did you get everything you were asked to find?” she closed her eyes with a tilt of her head watching him.
Zaribe looked around warily, then set down the basket working his upper and lower jaw from being numb. Only one more trip he’d have to lug all this with him, and deep in the parrot’s heart, he knew it was well worth it.
“Yep. I filled it to the top with many things given along the way. It’s become so heavy that I felt it filled enough now. Sure a few more things wouldn’t hurt, but I’m not being greedy. I’ve finished what I started and,” he paused glancing around again, “I’m starving.”
Where was that little monster? There was a good swift kick or bite waiting if he tried anything.
“Well I’m glad everything worked out for you Zaribe. I have heard that your mate is anxious for you to return. But before you head off I’d like to gift you with something of my own, if I may.” She turned her hooves to the West, walking slowly with much elegance and grace. Stopping near a tree there hung a pouch made of a leathery make. Pulling at it she dropped the contents upon the ground which was only some sort of jewelry it looked like. Leaves made on a finer metal. A medallion possibly.
“I present to thee, Zaribe of the jungle, a mallorn leaf representing the great tree of its kind. There are no other leaves found that shape of its kind. You and your mate shall be blessed by spirit and the bond you share when both or one of you wear these. May both of you be protected and forever happy in your days with one another.” She stood rather still as a solitary breeze with the scent of fall wafted through, gently blowing through her long tresses.
Zaribe smiled and nodded his head to the soft-spoken unicorn whose voice carried quite deep yet mystical. Taking the leaves he placed them in the basket along with everything else. Bowing to her he smiled with pride,” And I know Tic and I shall live happily forever in our days. Now that you’ve granted us a blessing from the spirits themselves, I feel we’ll be eternal in love and respect.”
“And I too have something to grant you Zaribe.”
Kairi in her own way walked over slowly to some sort of box and nosed it open. Reaching in she brought out one of the oddest looking things Zaribe had ever seen. It was a weird fruit that the stallion had never seen before, shaped like a star.
“This is Papou Star fruit. It is said that when two creatures share the fruit, their destinies are intertwined and they become apart of each other's lives,” she nodded bending her head downward to reach the basket, placing it lightly on top.
Zaribe thought of the sweetness or tart inside that fruit had, and groaned at how hungry he was thinking about it.
Arwen shook her head in a light lyrical laughter, “Zaribe, We’ve kept you long enough. Go see Celendria. I’m sure she knows you’ve arrived by now."
Kairi nodded with approval, “Indeed. You worked really hard to get this far. And Tiranna has breakfast waiting for you as well. So go relax and enjoy yourself. You earned it Zaribe.”
The stallion grinned and nodded back, “Thanks both of you. Now, its complete.” Leaning down to pick up the basket he snorted and stepped ahead. There stood the ice mare standing near the girl cooking by the fire.
What a sight they were to his deep eyes. So tired and hungry his palate was watering with protest.
He was truly home and at the end of his promise to the elder. Rein_Carnation The smell was something the parrot couldn’t resist as he made his way towards the cooking pot where the Indian maiden stood. Her hair wove in a braid that snaked down her back in a deep black. Around her waist hung awhile mink type fox pelt that made her petite form look more full. Long slender legs fit upon a figure that held creativity and agility when there were things called upon. A graceful player of music, her slim fingers could create a melody with the slightest breath she blew into the instrument.
As he neared closer Tirranna looked upward, letting her fingers pull away from the spoon she was stirring with. A gasp escaped her lips as she smiled at the ice mare that stood idly by. “Colorful Bird has returned mare of ice.”
Celendria chuckled walking smoothly toward him, her eyes cool and clear, “Well done Zaribe of the Jungle. I’ve heard of your progress, and admire your will to strive this far to the end.” She stood now in front of him reaching outward to retrieve the basket. ‘For now we shall eat a good meal, revive your strength, and let you rest before you return to your mate.”
Taking the basket she walked in front of him slowly with smooth strides. Her mane and tail flowing soft and moving like a grand waterfall, cascading towards the ground. She seemed to not falter carrying such a heavy carrier in her mouth, though looking delicate as ice she hid a deep strength at flowed in her heart and in mind. Finding a tall stump, out of the looming ferret’s reach, she placed it safely on top. Saissis’ familiar Istas , the white, purple, and teal raccoon planted herself near the stump to guard the treasures. It was all just too tempting for a thief not to advance closer.
Zaribe followed the mare, staying back to let her have as much walking room as needed. He noted that Tirranna had already set up a table with various treats and drinks almost like a buffet. The stallion’s eyes went wild as he waited for the okay to indulge. Shaylee’s sugarplums had sustained him for a while, but then it was random grass and other things when he was hungry.
The maiden nodded extending a hand to the scarlet bird, it was him reward for doing what the mare of ice had told him to do. She wondered still where the yellow rainbow was, but understood not too soon after. A painting had been applied to his rump, one that depicted a bird and a rainbow. But, she also noticed that it was smudged with no lacquer to seal it.
Zaribe saw the signal and ate to his heart’s content. Various berries, sweet corncakes, and sweet treats filled his belly till he could eat no more. Yawning, the stallion stretched his wings as his eyes fell heavily. Then he lied down, letting his head stretch out amongst the fall leaves and wintry grass.
Tirranna shook her head but understood that the parrot had not eaten or slept in quite a few days. Patting the icy mare, she went into the teepee grabbing paints, lacquer, and a rough brush within her long arms. Mixing desired berries and lacquer, she created the colors she’d need to fix his ruined symbol.
Then the maiden with lithe fingers began to softly brush the stallion’s coat, uplifting the dirt and grime he’d acquired wherever he had gone. Nettles from a forest, sand from the ocean, so many things that he’d taken along with him. She smiled softly continuing to brush down the now snoring stallion. Pulling gently upon his certain torn feathers she removed the ones blotched, making them more organized and perfectly straight. A long one that she pulled loose stayed in her hand for a few moments, looking at the basket she smiled for an idea popped into her head. “I’ll save this for later. You sleep for awhile colorful bird.”
Then she bathed him, a soft warmth of water combined with jasmine and lavender petals, making his coat shine the beautiful red it once had been. When that was fully dry she set to work on the symbol., making it right once more.
“Beautiful colorful bird. You took her as a mate I see.”
Touching upon the original she painted the detail, filling in the gaps where they were smudged and broken. The paint mixed with the lacquer now would become practically permanent. He could do just about anything and it would never rub off. When satisfied she stood up on her long legs holding the long tri-colored feather and her paints. Looking at the ice mare she nodded and walked in for the night.
Celendria pulled out a blanket and covered the stallion gently as he lie upon the hardened ground. Seemed he’d traveled to the ends of the land on her words, simple gestures of friendliness and kindness that were used to summon aid for his quest.
She was indeed proud the parrot had finally become a stallion.
“Sleep well Zaribe of the jungle. In the morning you will describe everything you experienced, and then I’ll send you home to your waiting mate for I think she has something of her own to tell you dear one.”
Folding her legs she lied next to him, her cool serene eyes watching over him as he slept peacefully throughout the night, and soon into the morning.
Rein_Carnation Opening his eyes another night had passed into morning, light flickering into his subconscious and eyesight. There was a blanket draped halfway over him and the warmth of a cool bodied elder was pressed against him sleeping peacefully. The familiar smell of the cooking pot wafting toward him as the young maiden stirred it thoroughly.
Celendria stirred slowly hearing the stallion’s first morning grunt. Rolling to her feet she stood stretching and yawning with a soft sigh. “You slept well Zaribe? How are you feeling this day? Able to go to Tic Tac Toe, or shall you rest another day colorful adventurer?” She mused as she bent downward to retrieve the blanket so he could stand.
Zaribe smacked his lips, rolling to his own feet. Stretching his wings he yawned and grunted. “Well enough Elder Celendria. I don’t think I could stand being from her another day. I’ve missed her so and am ready to be by her side once more.”
“Very well” She nodded with a soft breath that she blew outward, “Then you shall eat and speak to me what you’ve experienced in your long journey. I want to hear of those you’ve met, what you’ve seen, all over anything that comes to mind. Tirranna is going to help you organize your treasures, so you’ll have a more easier to carry basket.”
Tirrana walked over and let her fingers touch upon his velvety muzzle, scratching them in a playful manner. “Eat well colorful bird. Keep your strength for the way home.” She held up a bag mixed with heated mash, berries, and sweet honey she slowly placed over his ears, letting the long strap rest over the crown of his head. A remedy to revive and keep equines healthy and strong.
Zaribe didn’t protest, eating every last bit that his stomach now felt revived with more nourishment and happiness. Opening his maw he belched rather loudly then blinked.
A funny laughter was heard from a familiar face, “Yep. Still the same old Zaribe I see. Woooooooow that was loud.” Shaylee chuckled carrying a bag in her mouth as she trotted up to him. “Thought you might be hungry when you got back, so uh here have some more.”
Zaribe chuckled flicking his tail back and forth, indeed he did feel much better.
Celendria smiled as she motioned for the flutter and the parrot to follow her. Already the maiden was emptying the basket of all its contents. Her eyes lightened at the trinkets, flowers, and even two remaining sugarplums that sat within the pile. “Wow Colorful bird. So many things you returned with for your mate. Lets make it easier to carry.”
Placing things neatly out on the blanket, Tirranna attended to the flowers with water in the meantime.
Celendria then seated herself on her haunches, then gestured both the flutter and the parrot to do the same.
When they had done so she spoke to them both, “Zaribe of the jungle, you have fulfilled a promise and have opened my eyes to the dedication you posses. In your doing so you have proved to myself and many others you are capable of great things.” She nodded her head to him and smiled, “Now, indulge upon me all you’ve experienced. The happiness, the wonderment, the mystery of places you’ve visited.”
Now she'd hear from his own words, and even Shaylee who’s curiosity lingered with her wanted to hear the tale as well.
Now Zaribe would begin. Rein_Carnation Where to begin when a journey had finally closed, where heart and soul had become your one true guide in life. Dedication and deepest love for someone you profoundly confessed your heart to forever in your lifetime. This was his time. His memory would unfold like the opening of a long awaited book.
Clearing his throat he began in his deep throaty voice, and smiled deeply as he weaved his tale with ears eager to listen.
“When I sat out the first day, I had no idea what or who I’d encounter in days to come.” He smiled turning to face the little flutter grinning wildly back at him. “Shaylee was the first to offer her sugarplums as a gift, five in total. I could eat three as long as two were saved for my mate.”
He nodded in thanks to Shaylee than began once more.
“Next I encountered a mare that reminded me of the sunsets I’d seen from a foal till now. Soft in her words and elegant in her ways, she offered me a feather tipped in blue and golden. Because it symbolized the parrot I am. A piece of me that was given to my Sunny Rainbow, from one called Ayelet”
Shaylee chuckled to herself yet her eyes never wavered from his speech.
“My travels lead me to the ocean where a great stallion reigned colored of the Sea herself. His offering was a piece of the Sea, a shining shell that washed upon the shore wrapped in seaweed like a present. So much like the water that surrounded him, he reminded me of the sea itself. He is known as Mizu”
“Wow… a Sea colored stallion.” Shaylee was thoroughly entranced at the idea.
“Then I met a unicorn whose beauty was enough to make me feel calm and subdued. Her hair curled in silken ringlets as white roses layered like a touch of frosting. How she shined like a diamond in the closing night. Her gift she presented to me was a white rose from her very person. Her name was Starla”
Celendria nodded and smiled, “Please continue”.
“My travels past the ocean into the meadows brought me to a mare whose coat was golden and light, while the darker haired stallion that was with her was deep and mysterious. The mare offered a beaded necklace as the stallion offered a shiny rock for Tic. Their names were Jean Claude and Esperanza.”
“In my travels I met a flutter and winged who liked adventuring. She, being small and frail with green tresses. The stallion was overly large with the biggest feet I’ve ever seen dressed in the weirdest clothing.
The flutter was named Feena offering the healing pendent Amethyst. The stallion by the name of Yuuri offered a beautiful crystal ball.”
“Holy wow! A stallion with big feet and a flutter you say?” Shaylee’s eyes went incredibly wide.
“Next I ran into the grown children of Andromeda. Lyra and Cassiopeia were happy to offer gifts of dandelions and while lilies. I remember them as foals, but I must say they shine like the heavens above.”
He paused to stretch his wing sniffing the strange scent about him. Was it just his imagination or did he smell cleaner?
“Walking deeper into the meadow I ran across a wonderful winged named Aurete, whose coat shone black as his face carried a white unique mask. His gift was offered from himself and his Godsire Silbalto. A gift of gemstones.”
Celendria nodded once more taking in his reactions and happy thoughts that had stayed within his mind.
“Next was something that made me chuckle for I ran into a friend and her daughter of yours great elder Celendria. Frosta and Izzie were delighted to see me. And oh how they told me Tic was excited for my return. Bleeding Heart Flowers and amber were their gifts to Tic”.
Celendria nodded, “Ah Frosta. I see that she and her daughter are doing well then. I shall have to visit when the winter passes back to the mountains once more.”
“Next were a father and daughter that also knew my mate. Zahariah and Zaiacate also asked if I was the one Tic had fallen for. Hee hee oh course I said yes. An arrowhead and an Amethyst heart were their gifts”.
“I see” Celendria nodded to another set from Tic’s herd.
“And even then there was another mother daughter set named Chrisabel and Rowenya that were asking about me and Tic. So many that knows about me. You’d think I was famous, “he grinned with a cheeky smile, “Anyway, they offered a sky meets earth rock and striped feathers.”
Shaylee giggled, “Whoo…small world we live in huh?”
“my next encounter was a troll soquili named Malis. She had the most interesting hair might I say. Her offering was a treasure map, an adventure for the both of us when we are able. Also a set or golden shells were given for something in the future.”
“Whoah. A troll? Thought they were merely superstition?” the flutter mentioned with a tilt of her head.
“Next was a familiar face to you and I Celendria. It was Dyami whom offered a rose, red as blood and deep as the love we share.” Pausing Zaribe frowned and became distant, immediately he swung his head around to his rump. “Huh? It’s not… I don’t understand.”
Celendria smiled, “Tirranna fixed it for you while you slept Zaribe. Now its permanent.”
“Oh really? I was worried about that. Anyway in the large meadow I met two faces that may have been familiar. One was a blue mare sweet as candy, and a plucky usdia named Peaches. Spearmint and blue violets were their offerings.”
“Ooh an usdia. They’re bigger than flutters sometimes. Bet she was really cute.” Shaylee bobbed her head and continued listening.
“Next I ran into a beautiful flutter that carried a horn. Though I never saw her kind before, Gabriela was most beautiful as she shimmered in the sun’s rays. Her gift was a tulip that grew in her own tresses.”
“Oh man a flutter with wings, I’d give a sugarplum tree to have a horn.” Looking to Celendria she giggled.
“Before returning home I met three more soquili. One named Catori, Samedi, and her son Misfortune. Their offerings were a striped flower and a beautiful ankle bracelet.”
“Samedi? Oh I need to get in contact with my daughter soon” Celendria nodded listening, knowing his tale was finally soon written and ready.
“Finally, as my exhausted hooves came into view of what I desired most, Arwen and Kairi gifted the last two things. Mallorn leaf pendants and Papou star fruit. Then I returned to see you as I have promised.” He breathed a sigh of relief that everything his memory held safely didn’t betray his thoughts.
“And you Zaribe have done as asked. Have you discovered which was the perfect present for her in your journey?” She smiled serenely watching him with interest, this was the final test.
Zaribe thought long and hard, so many things he’d seen and acquired, yet none could compare to his own light that made that beautiful mare smile. Nothing could ever replace that feeling of her shining eyes staring up in the sky for the one she loved.
“I am the perfect present. Nothing can compare be it a shell, to flowers, or even precious stones. She loves me for who I am, and that will never change. No matter what happens, what glitters over my own vibrant red. I know that she will love me till the day our lives extinguish to another realm.”
Celendria smiled her eyes shining with proud tears for the stallion that once thought of everything finally saw the one thing he sought for. Now he was ready to go home to the one waiting. She is the mother of his future children, the light of his existence.
Tirrana stepped over patting Zaribe, as she handed him a freshly organized basket. Two apples were placed inside along with something she held in her hand, “Colorful bird this is my gift to you and the sunny one. Colorful birds and rainbows.”
Celendria nodded blinking her tears away, “Go now Zaribe of the jungle. Tic awaits your arrival with every bated breath she musters. Go and be by her side once more.”
Zaribe took the basket and bowed to them with a grin as his head swung up proudly. Then with a surge as he kicked off the ground, he leaped toward the great cerulean sky on his way to be by her side once more. His final words that lifted like a page turning to the end of a book, “I love you Tic, Now and forever.”
And so ends the journey of finding what he sought. Perhaps someday when his foals had foals of their own, he’s come to retell this journey and relive that which he’d never forget thanks to all who helped him achieve his goal.
