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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 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.

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.

"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.

 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.

~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.

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.

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?"

"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.
