Muse stood relatively close to where Tooki pointed out the shape in the clouds. As he was speaking along with her eyes on Story.... then it happened.
"Rab- OW?! What's tha..." she hiccuped in a mumble as she couldn't believe what Story did. She frowned ready to ask him if he was okay... Wait a minute! Her eyes widened almost to the point of full moons as she looked in disbelief from Story to Tooki.
"You...saw.... You felt that? Are you sure?! She deliberately bit you in spite. I'm not crazy I saw her do it. I was standing right next to you...." her words became confused almost paled as her expression was. Story may of been a jealous mare but she did something so wonderful Muse could of cried out in happiness. Instead she laughed with glee till her sides hurt.
"Just what is so funny Muse? I wasn't being playful... he annoys me. Sheesh... rabies?! Please I'm not rabid thank you" she frowned narrowing her eyes in a haughty expression.
Muse stuck her tongue out and responded, "Because if he felt what you did Story.... you are real.... that's why I'm laughing like I am". She couldn't believe it as she looked at Tooki.
"You have to be tough to put up with Story Tooki. I'm sorry she bit you." Her head was a whirl of thoughts just then as she looked to the sky with the prettiest smile she could muster, "Is that a deer up there?"

"Yeah...I felt it..." Tooki mumbled, glaring in the direction of Story. He blinked and stepped back. Was that....a sort of outline. Was there really a horse there?
He looked at Muse in surprise, then at the spot. "I think you're friend's slipping....I think...I see her."

Muse let her expression go from excited momentarily to shocked. Had Tooki really seen Story or was she...
"Dear Muse mostly everyone you know is a moron. You know I'm real but hardly anyone else then your grandmother", she paused glowering at Tooki, "And him have seen me. Its taken me a while now and I think I have an idea why they can sense me."
She moved slowly forward toward Tooki and deliberately nudged him a little abruptly. Stepping back she stood and watched letting herself flicker with almost a teasing aspect before she spoke again.
"You're a bright one though that knight in shining armor routine is a bit childish don't you think? So oh great one tell me exactly what you see in front of you. I know you can hear me now so please indulge me on your excellent vision." She chuckled to herself with a sneer waiting for Tooki to remember what he saw. She simply was an imaginary being most said. Well except Muse that knew from the day they met what she really was.
Muse looked from Tooki to Story and frowned. Story was speaking to Tooki but how could he.... Did she just.... What's going on here....
Muse bit her lip and sighed, "I don't understand what's going on story. How can Tooki see you? Are you hiding something from me?" she queried with a stamp of her little hoof. Just what was Story up to anyway?

Tooki frowned at the nudging. Story was a mare, so he very well couldn't dish out what she was giving. He shook his head, stepping back from her, putting Muse between them. "The light caught a moment...I saw wings, and maybe a horn. Not much else, just an outline."
He glanced at Muse, "I think your friend is playing tricks...my mother said some soquili have magic...maybe Story does. Either way...I can feel when she bites me and nudges me."
Tooki really hoped that his seeing Story, even if it was only a glimmer of an outline, wouldn't hurt his friendship with Muse. She seemed like a nice mare. "Maybe...we can just ignore her again and look at clouds...or...something. At least until she quits abusing me."

Muse had herself a problem as making a decision would irritate Story more. She believed Tooki she really did but how to prove it. Nibbling her lip the little mare blew out softly then perked an idea.
"Story he saw you. So why don't you just expose yourself and show him the truth" It was a long shot but Muse had to try. She herself hadn't really saw Story either even as a foal. Perhaps even then it was this played out game the other mare continued.
Story narrowed her eyes putting her muzzle in the air, "He came to that conclusion because its what you described before. I don't think you have even saw me fully because I'm more special then... YOU."
Muse nudged her way toward Tooki speaking again, "He might accept you if you stop playing these games. but if you want to be the way you are so be it." She snorted and nuzzled Tooki, "I think the clouds look better over here a bit farther don't you? Let's go and see!" She wasn't phased by Story this time promptly ignoring her. It would do one of two things. Either story would find another game or she'd show herself.

Tooki blinked at the nuzzling, his nose blushing a bit. He followed after Muse, nodding. "Um...yeah. The clouds are much easier to see over here...."
He glanced at the mare, then gave a confused look. "I did see her outline...the light or something hit just right. She is real...and if she was a friend, she wouldn't act like that to you."
The stallion lifted his head back up to look at the clouds. He sighed and leaned over to nuzzle Muse playfully. "And she's wrong about her being more special than you....you're special. Probably more so....we can see you, and how pretty you are."

Story narrowed her eyes that she snorted stamping a hoof. How dare Muse go off with him and make a mockery of someone that was So much more profound then she? The game was up for Story was done being the "one in the dark"so to speak. Ruffling her wings she lowered her horn and charged at Muse while she ignored Story with Tooki.
Muse on the other hand paid no attention to Story for her antics had finally awakened a spot deep within that was filled with both regret and hate. Using all she could muster she willed herself to wish Story away for her friend was nothing but a menace. Little by little Muse was starting to understand things which made her realize that her imagination was playing tricks on her.
"I think she's just a figment of my imagination" her words were sharp and straight to the point. But Muse knew it was going to strike where it would sting.
She smiled a little more boldly and looked toward Tooki, "If she was real as she says she is..." the little mare announced aloud, "Then Story would expose the secrets she's been hiding and stop being so haughty about everything."
Story in her charging skidded to a halt with wide eyes. How could Muse say she wasn't real?! That was uncalled for!
Snorting she stomped over toward the two, her head snaked low and menacing, "You both are ignorant! Fine you want to see me I'll reveal myself! This game is finally done!"

Tooki looked at Muse, "Well, she did bite me. You sure she's not real?"
He was mostly teasing, smiling a little at the mare. "But, then again. You're right. if she was realy your friend, she'd show herself and stop messing around and hurting your feelings."

What was the gall to act like this all of a sudden?! Story was beyond miffed but most off all so irritated she felt the tension vibrate in her wings. Muse was purposely trying to get her to appear. If she did that then there would be no turning back. Enough was enough in the back of her mind even if she was throwing it all away. Closing her eyes she wished really hard as her form slowly flickered to life.
Muse regretted hurting Story for her words were quite bitter but in the long run her friend deserved it. She turned to look at Tooki not hiding her feelings too well, "She always tries to chase my friends off. She thinks she's better then me. Its always been like this"
The little purple mare's voice began to crack showing her discern as she tried pushing back a tear, "She's been my best friend since I emerged from my basket. She's the only one that ever understood me... yet she always hurts my feelings. She always chases everyone away. I'm just.." she murmured, 'tired of letting her push me around."
Story felt herself awaken physically as her wings ruffled in the passing breeze. Her ears were laid back as her eyes narrowed but deep inside Muse's words were hurting causing her to wonder what she was doing.
Blinking Story stood behind them speechless though her expression never changed.

Tooki leaned over and rested his head against the mare's, trying to give her comfort. He sighed, trying to word his thoughts, so as not to come off harsh. "Maybe she was jealous...cause only you could see her. And if you had other friends, you'd forget about her. Even so, she should never have treated you like that. That's not how friends act."

Muse closed her eyes as a tear finally escaped. Why had she let Story be so cruel as to finally push her to be so mean? It had been a long time coming and well over due for a dramatic change.
Opening her eyes she nodded, " No friend should treat the other cruel and hurtful. Right Story?"
As Muse turned her head to look over toward what should of been an invisible space there stood a small mare. A mare identical to her that carried a set of wings about her. Glistening like glass as they fluttered with a passing breeze. The most astonishing thing about this reflection was those cat-like green eyes which fumed and held contempt. A cynical profile that seethed and ebbed like a storm brewing as a spiral translucent as her wings extended in front of her.
For a moment Muse couldn't say anything, " Story?!" she blinked as she moved away from Tooki nearly startled.
Story kept her gaze that grew cynical and dark as it burrowed into Muse. Like a dagger that struck deep within its target's vital area she spoke, "Surprised are we? I told you I'm more grand then you'll ever be little sister. Am I still a figment of your imagination I wonder? Can your friend see me as well ?" she hissed.
Snaking her head low as she pointed her head toward Muse she grinned as her eyes narrowed more, "Forgive me sister for making you cry, but it only proves you are weak and not able to handle things you can't see".
Walking slowly she made sure they both heard her approach letting her trinkets chime as they lightly clinked off one another, "You are not dramatic therefore you shed tears of shame. Do you not Muse? Shame is sadness that you have committed a crime. Does Tooki still think you are so gullible to play with your imagination, hmm?"
Muse stood with a gaze that seemed she was a deer caught in a mysterious light. Was she really seeing Story for the first time or was her mind playing tricks on her?

Tooki turned to see what Muse was looking at, then blinked at the voice and mare. She was real. But her personality got in the way of her beauty. He shook his head, moving to stand next to his friend.
"Oh...get over yourself, Story," the stallion said, puffing his chest out a little. "So what if Muse doesn't have wings, a horn, and pretty things hanging off of her. She's still more beautiful than you because she's a kind, gentle mare. You're uglier by far...you're as ugly a skinwalker. Manipulating others and tormenting someone you called a friend. You wouldn't know friendship if it kicked you in the head."

Muse snapped out of the spell she was under more so startled by Tooki's quick retort to Story and her ignorance. She tossed her head as it lightly bumped against her friend. For the moment her words were but a whisper that had released from her muzzle. A quiet sound that vibrated in silence rather then be spoken out load, save for the release of breath she had been holding in her deep lungs.
Story looked downright evil as her muzzled pulled into a smirk, "Well now I do know you both can see me. Oh joy and rapture there is light." she trilled as she sauntered closer as her gaze settled upon Tooki, "How dare you call one such as I ugly. You yourself are if you can not admit I'm more beautiful then Muse. Do you not see she is plain compared to me. She has no wings, no beautiful hair, and last of all no horn".
She grinned nearing closer, "Who is ugly now? The princess or the commoner?"
Muse felt as if her world was caving in but her feet were still on solid ground. She took a breath then finally spoke, "I may be common but I am special Story. Like what Tooki said... just because I have no horn, wings, or am beautiful on the outside doesn't mean I'm not on the inside. Not everything is about looks or how something sounds. Its from what is inside Story. Perhaps you should examine that a bit more closely."
She stepped closer to Tooki's side feeling a little more confident then she normally did. If Story was out to hurt Tooki there was no rethinking in standing Story down. Muse knew how vindictive the larger winged mare was. She could only hope that Story wasn't planning on using her horn.

Tooki just stared back at the winged mare, moving closer to give his friend support. He wasn't worried if Story wanted a fight, he was fairly sure he had some warrior genes in him somewhere. "You are the ugliest thing I've seen...the way you act makes you ugly. Muse is by far the most beautiful creature I've ever had the pleasure to know. Maybe you need to just run along and take a look at yourself before trying to say you're better than others."
The stallion looked at Muse, then nuzzled her a little with encouragement. "See? She's not friend of yours if she played these games for so long. Let her go strew in her jealousy elsewhere."

Muse could not believe Story was real even though she knew from the birth of her basket she was always correct in her assumption. While others convinced her otherwise Muse always knew there was reason to her words. Story was an embodiment of everything the little purple mare would never be. She was magnificent yet the biggest killer to the whole ensemble was her friend's outlook and attitude. Those vicious words were played out more like an annoying crow squawking in the distance. Where her mane and tail were simply perfect she roused a reflection of extreme ugliness.
"Story you've been with me since I came out of that basket. You were my only friend and you taught me to believe that I wasn't crazy" she murmured sticking close to Tooki, "But you don't have to do this anymore. You can go off and see the world on your own. You don't need me anymore Story. Your words don't hurt me anymore". She nudged Tooki with a nibble from her muzzle in his neck to start walking away from Story so those words would sink in just a bit more.
Story was ravaged from this treatment but mostly she was deeply hurt. Things were fine when Muse was alone and they were best friends. A male comes along sweeping the little mare off her feet and everything gets turned into an unsightly mud pile.
"What? No you can't do this?! Muse you can't just walk away from me. You never could and never will. There is a fine line between decisions and actions. I for one know you can never make that true decision. So stop trying to patronize yourself and him". She narrowed those green eyes into slits practically as she pulled back her lips from her teeth, "You can't live without me Muse..."
Muse paused standing beside Tooki as she closed her eyes, "No Story. I fully understand now. Its you that can't live without me."
