Welcome to Gaia! ::

Setting: The cliffs are almost sheer; and the rivers and streams fall from the top in many shimmering, dancing veils of light. There are infinate nooks and crannys, and even full cave systems hidden behind them; and there are many pools on the way down, surrounded by grass and wild flowers.
The top is similarly astrewn with vegetation; here the grass is very lush and delicious. It's a small haven with a fantastic view.

Kahn stood close to the edge; peering over at the world below, his eyes wide. He had snuck away from his mother again and was now spell-bound by the view; the sound of rushing water, the lush grass beneath his tiny hooves- so much to see, to experience! He felt excitement well in his chest and spread his small wings out, balencing himself carefully so he could examine the view without worry.

Kahn had heard the footfalls; but had assumed it was his mother, catching up with him. However, the stranger's voice startled him; and he wobbled slightly, his ringed eyes widening before his wings flared out wider and helped him balence.
He shuffled backwards from the edge, reluctantly tearing his gaze from the view to settle on the stranger. And she really was strange; to his young eyes; mainly used to his snowy-white and grey mother, and seeing his own reflection, he was momentarily taken aback by her bright markings. So vivid!
"Wow, your fur's so many bright colours!" he said, his stormy-blue eyes wide. He didn't sense any hostility from her; so just said what was on his mind.

...Paint? The little foal stuck out his lower lip; he had no idea what that was. Still, he shrugged; and looked along his own small body. Grey until the sun hit it, where it shone white... He was fond of his own fur, and beamed at her words. He spread out his wings.
"Thass 'cause I have wings like a bird!" he exclaimed; his eyes closed in glee. "I can't fly like one yet, though; but I will one day." The last part was said in a confidential tone; head tilted to the side, his eyes open again and gleaming.
