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.

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...

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.

"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.

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.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Cait
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.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Cait
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.

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..."

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.

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.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Cait
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.

 Rowenya never was very good at landing.. only crash-landing. 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?"

"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?"

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.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~Cait
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.

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 normaly silent and proud stallion. eyes glancign here adn there he caught sight of a red wind stallion that had red, blue and yellow wings as he came into veiw. 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 carring a rose about in his mouth. humming having long stopped he gave a nod to the other stallion and stopping a comfertable distance from him. it wouldn't due any harm to stop to meet someone on his way home to his mate.

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.”

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.
