And then I would . . .

Your Name: Midori_Keiko
Entry: 2# of 2#
Foal is: Female
Prompt #:3
Entry:
I could smell something sickly sweet as I trotted past the slender walls.
Food
Lots of it.
My tummy grumbled as I stopped to stare at the wall taking in the sweet smell. It was high and even though it was slender, I pushed my hooves against it. The hoof sinks only the tiniest of bit into the dirt wall. It was dense.
I began to pace back and forth, pondering with myself what to.
One, how was I going to get in there?
Two, should I be going in there?
Three, what exactly was in there?

I began to leave when I noticed a small panel in the wall. Looking around and crept slowly over to it and bumped it with my body. The panel moved slightly, to reveal it was a larger panel. The smell of food wafted into my nostrils and I inhaled deeply.
My sweet tooth ached for I can smell honey. The sweetest of any I had smelt.
I tip toed quietly inside. There were stacks of food, reaching high into the sky.
I followed my nose, to the honey smell. the honeycomb rested on the stack of various buckets of fruit. To me it was glistening and calling my name.
As slinked towards it, I licked my lips and closed my eyes, slowly opening my mouth.
Suddenly there was a loud bang! My senses come back to me as I bolted out of there. Father and mother would surely suspend my trips alone to the mountains. I cannot risk that. As I reached the food storage entrance and slam the panel with my rump and gallop away as fast as I could.
If I had been paying closer attention I would of seen the little squirrel nibbling on a nut, which had knocked over a basket in the food shed.

What's in a name?

Your Name: Nyx Queen of Darkness
Entry: 1 of 2

Male:
Basket Name: Xanthophyceae
Meaning: Class of Yellow-Green Algae
Temper: Valid
Personality: Similiar to his father in nature, he's not sure how much he can feel. He knows that he can feel, but he worries that he doesn't feel as much as others do--he feels as if he's maybe not quite as much as his mother or siblings.

He is genuine in everything he does, but he let's his scientific side get too much in the way of his heart. It's something that he'll have to chose eventually--to be ruled by heart or mind?


This is not a cop-out, but honestly this is what I would do with male or female. Main difference woudl be that Xan would be the boy's nickname while Ceae would be the girl's.

It's just the vibe I got from them.

Thank you for the contest!

Entry:
I look at the sky
And it’s almost like I can see a note
Drifting on by

When I close my eyes and listen
I hear the wind blowing a mystical tune
It seems to almost glisten

I begin to sing my song of joy
I sang a song of family
But then began to feel coy

And stop
And waited
Until the tune appeared again.

And then I would . . .

Your Name: Nyx Queen of Darkness
Entry: 1 of 2
Foal is: Male
Prompt #: 1
Entry:

Xanthophyceae looked keenly at Iroxide. The little lizard was lying there with his eyes closed basking in a small piece of sunlight. It wasn't the first time that Xan was intrigued with the lroxide and it would not be the last.

It had always fascinated him the way that Iroxide acted. He was devoted to his father--he'd often heard the tale and he understood the devotion, but he did not understand the creature he called friend and protector. He was voiceless, two small puncture holes in his throat, from the incident.

He looked at the little scars that spoke of the ordeal. Xan thought of the pain that had to have happened, and the ache of losing his voice. Granted, he had never used his voice that much--often he felt voiceless, struggling with what he felt or what he wanted to say.

But he was not voiceless--not like Iroxide, he was just confused. But what if he lost his voice? What if he lost all means of communication with the world and had to relay all his meanings with his eyes? What if he was trapped inside his body more than he already was?

Words were so powerful, even if he didn't ever know what to say. But if his voice was taken like Iroxide's, he wouldn't have the chance to grow into it. He needed to learn...but his friend...his friend couldn't do that anymore. And he dearly wanted to know what his friend wanted to say, even if it wasn't with words anymore.

There had to be away.

For days Xan considered, weighed out the possibilities in his mind. He considered all kinds of ways to communicate with Iroxide but nothing came to fruitiation. Nothing seemed to work--nothing seemed to make up for the lost speech. Nothing would replace the words that Iroxide coudln't speak.

After awhile, he sat there beside Iroxide waiting for him to open his eyes. He wondered dimly, if he slept so much because he could not speak?

When Iroxide opened his eyes, Xan began to speak. "I wanted to help you. I wanted to give you a voice again, but...nothing I can do...Nothing, I can think of..." His science had failed him, even the best interests in his heart had failed him. His voice choked, "I don't want to lose my voice too, not before I even know what to say."

He hadn't meant to say it, he hadn't meant to make it about him--but all the fear came welling up in his throat as he blinked back tears. He watched as Iroxide crawled toward him and laid a little claw on his hoof. His clear eyes looked up into Xan's and he blinked slowly.

Xan watched him, the way he soothed him--and stayed while the tears fell. Maybe you didn't need words after all? Maybe they weren't that important? Because Xan understood exactly what Iroxide was saying--even without the words.

He was letting him know it's okay, that it wasn't the end of the world. That even the voiceless aren't without a voice if only someone takes the time to listen with their heart and eyes.

It took awhile, but Xan developed nods, jerks of the head, stamping of feet to help communicate with Iroxide--but over time it wasn't needed as much. He learned to understand Iroxide without all of those signs.

Sometimes, words were just arbitrary between friends.

And then I would . . .

Your Name: AislingJuno
Entry: # 1of #2
Foal is: Female
Prompt #: 3
Entry:
Shantih gazed at her mother with a giless express in her baby green eyes. What she was planning would regiure trickery and a bit of bravery. Shantih tried to calm her beating heart and closed her eyes and imagined herself as a pirate. She tiled her head at her mother that was reminiscing of a pirate tipping his hat in respect to his captain. “Mother my dear sibling have gone off adventure..well really they had a bet between them about finding a rare snowbell flower only grown on nearby perilous mountain range. “ Francesca eyes widened in fear for her foals and she hurried to intercept her.
Shantih watched her mother disappear of into the distance and smiled a bit. Shantih felt a bit guilty about exposing her sibling disappearance. Her sibling had the same streak of adventure that all Francesca offspring had inherited However her tattling gave way to two benefits first the disappearance of her mother and preventing any harm to her sibling-after all her mother would always protect her foals.
Shantih cocked her ears towards the west and towards the music she had distantly heard all morning. She slowly crept through the grasslands and towards the nearby Kawani village. The people were celebrating with men and women dancing and the tribe elders drumming. Shantih felt the beat of the music flowed through her body for the first time. She raised her opened her mouth and sang for the very first time and let the joy of hearing the music come out.
Nearby a Kawani man tilted his head. Even over the sound of the drums he could hear a horrendous never-ending cry of pain. He gave a murmur of prayer and he said farewell to the poor animal who most be suffering.

Shantih meanwhile remained oblivious to the fact that her singing voice –was very lacking indeed.

Closed - will roll as soon as Rose gets a chance to check in and award tickets.


There were a couple of people I wasn't able to give more than one participation ticket to - and who are limited on their bonus tickets because you only made one post and put all your entries in that one post. I understand there were a lot of rules and you might be confused. If you recognize yourself as one of those people and post asking for your second ticket before I roll for a winner, I will grant you that extra ticket.

I was also surprised that only one person bothered to get the extra Ladybug ticket. Congratulations Elf Princess Flannery for reading everything - you got a bonus ticket.
LydaLynn generated a random number between 1 and 31 ... 25!
