 This was a fine mess Isiah got himself into. After having met Uni, Isiah wanted to see if there were more soquilis like her, or like the interesting sounding ones the older female told him about. He had ventured far from the home he shared with the tall creature. Far enough that the scenery and general temperature had changed. He liked how the large trees kept the air relatively cool unlike the desert's dry arid heat. He wandered aimlessly, going down random paths until he felt like going back home.
And then he realized he had no idea how to get back. "Uh oh..." he gulped, scanning his surroundings.

 Muse was wandering around lately muttering to herself it seemed when in reality she was talking to someone that others couldn't see. From the moment her voice was heard as her eyes opened she always had a special friend she called story. Knowing her parents worried about such things, she asked Story to keep hidden and wait till she was well out of range. Thusly why the little purple filly liked going on her own so much lately. It was really unfair to her imaginary friend that she had to hide so much.
Today Muse had wandered a bit far, seeking more places to explore because her friend wanted to see even further every day. She wasn't keen on always listening yet she always did.
As the grass was turning to sand and rocks she frowned heavily, "Story where are we going?" she asked with a little frown as her hooves carried her further toward the drier terrain. "Story we need to turn back.... Story?" Soon she was lost and it scared her a bit. Now she felt alone as her friend had deserted her. "Not good..."
Starting to run with a bit of panic she nearly collided into another foal her age. "oh no... Look out!" she called just passing him gradually with a worried look on her face.
Now Story had disappeared and she nearly collided into another foal. What else could go wrong and would she ever return Muse wondered standing there looking at the other foal speechless.

The young colt's ears picked up the sound of a voice and instinctively headed towards it. And that was when he nearly collided with a filly. He teetered to the side a bit, slightly off balance thanks to his front legs but he managed to regain his footing.
"Careful!" He huffed, ears twitching to and fro. Thanks to the other foal's arrival, Isiah managed to forget that he had no idea where he was or how he'd get back. He hadn't expected to see anyone, after all he hadn't seen anyone else up until that moment.
"Why're you in a rush?" he asked, or was she running for exercise? He assumed her sprint was because she was in a hurry, but he would have liked to know why. Especially if it was because something scary was chasing her and would like to chase him as well.

Muse looked at this other foal with a surprised expression. Her imaginary friend whom she could only see lead her in this strange place and now she was... lost? Well that was just great really Muse thought because now her Mama and Papa would be really worried she was missing.
Darn you Story... now we won't be able to explore anymore. Err... where is here anyway?
Clearing her throat she looked around her then back at the colt, "Umm where are we? My friend..." she paused remembering that no one but herself could see Story, "Well I was trying to find my way back home, but I think I got lost." She smiled with a bit of uncertainty reminding herself that Story was special and shouldn't be mentioned in front of strangers. Besides how would she explain what Story looked like anyway? If no one could see her then they wouldn't know what she looked like.
Pausing in her racing thoughts she looked back at the passageway she'd came from, "You hear something?" Now her heart was racing as she looked back at the colt with a worried expression.

Isiah looked around, "I, uh, I don't really know where here is. I'm not really from around here but I was explorin' and stuff." He tried to hide the fact he was a little worried that he was lost. "Maybe we could explore a bit together until you can find your way back to your home and maybe until I get bored enough to go back to mine." Of course the latter part was a simple lie to keep... wait what was her name?
Before he could ask her anything, the filly was suddenly worried about hearing something. Ears trying to pick up any sounds, Isiah just shook his head. "No, I don't think so? What did you hear sound like?"

She stood there wide eyed as the colt stared at her, a tugging on her side she responded to, "Shush! Its your fault were in this mess." Looking up toward the other colt she looked rather embarrassed, "Her name is story and she's the reason I'm out when I shouldn't be.. well this far anyway". She smiled with her father's charming eyes trying to hide the fact of her being upset with that pain that followed her around.
"Oh I'm Muse by the way. Daddy told me to make sure i tell those I meet my name. What's yours by the way?" she asked before nipping at her side as she stumbled a bit, "You are such a pain... stop it. I'm still mad at you you know." She snorted as her feet regained balance looking back at the colt.
"I think that's a great idea if we find the way out together. If Story does anything to bother you just let me know and I'll tell her to stop, " she looked around then frowned, "No idea where to start though... Where is here?... And that noise was scary" She blinked then looked back at him wondering where they would start. If that thing was still chasing her it definitely was Story's fault. She always had a knack for things finding them at the wrong time.

Isiah quired a brow in confusion as Muse introduced Story to him. The young colt couldn't see anything, no bug nor bird nor any other sort of creature was near enough to the filly for him to assume it was Story.
"I'm Isiah." He responded slowly as Muse seemed to argue with whatever this Story thing was. Maybe the filly was sick so she was seeing things that weren't there. There were many things the young colt didn't know about and therefore had to rely specifically on his senses to make judgements.
"S-sure, I'll let you know if Story is bothering me." He nodded, albeit uncertainly, "Here is, uh, here is here I think? I came from that way," he motioned with a flick of his tail at the direction he had passed through. "If the thing you heard is from where you came from, maybe we should head this-a-way?"
He suggested, gesturing to a path away from the sound. "Maybe we can meet someone who would know where we are and how to get back?"

Muse cocked her head to the side as if listening to something which she had called Story in front of Isiah. She must of looked so silly to him as she talked to the air and the trees that the filly stood around. Still since her birth she saw Story the moment she opened her eyes. They were inseparable and Muse accepted that. But no one could see Story no matter how much Muse tried to make her visible.
"She says you don't believe she's there, but I know different," her eyes blinked as her tail swayed with her, "Well as long as that scary noise doesn't come back we'll be fine.. I think?" Unsure of what it was in the first place she was keen to not find out what it was.
Looking toward the direction he suggested she nodded, "Lets just hope someone lives around here. Wish I knew where "Here" is though..." her eyes shifted with a bit of sadness, "Wish I had wings like my brother and mom do...".
If she was able to fly then surely she could of found out where "here" was easily. But she was special her dad told her, just like he was. So maybe if this was true, she'd help her new friend and Story get out of that place.

Isiah seemed taken aback, how did Muse know he didn't quite believe her? It was all very strange for Isiah but he was glad that the filly said she knew different. It made him feel a bit foolish for doubting her but he couldn't blame himself, after all he couldn't see or hear this Story and until he felt his her its? presence there was little for him to go on.
"What does Story look like?" He asked, maybe if he got an idea of this creature he might be able to see it? He doubted the possibility but it didn't hurt to try. At the mention of wings Isiah seemed to perk, "Wings? You mean you know ones who can fly?" he seemed to brighten considerably.
He didn't mean to sound like he thought they were more special, Isiah had just never seen another Soquili with wings before. And truth be told he was exploring to encounter all these different Soquilis.

She looked at Story almost eager to tell a lie, for she loved when her friend got so red in the face it always made her laugh. But Muse wasn't a vicious little filly that was hurtful and undermining either. She was like her mother in a sense wrapped neatly in a strong build like her father.
"Story... well she's like me almost. Okay she is like me cause her colors and everything look like I do... but I got the better personality." she mused looking over to her side sticking her tongue out. Story was probably plotting to trip her up or something.
Hearing him say wings made her giggle, "My Mama has great big wings and a horn.. well my brother does too. My daddy doesn't but my grandmother has a horn too." She looked at him with a bright eyed expression. "Well at least things aren't as bad as they seem right? Hmm which way should we go?" Trying to keep that evil sound from coming back she hoped badly it wouldn't.

Isiah is thoroughly puzzled by Muse's description of Story. Exactly like her but with a different personality and can only be seen by her? He must remember to ask others if they have heard such a thing while not naming any names of course.
"At least you're the one I get to hear," He gives her a smile, masking his confusion. Patronizing as it seemed, Isiah doesn't really know what to do in this situation without offending the filly. Especially since the idea of being alone with whatever it was after them did not appeal to him in any manner.
Not that he'd leave her or anything, he figured he could act as decoy better and let her run off. Having heavy front legs compromised his speed after all. He listened in keen interest as she told him of her parents and Isiah couldn't help but wonder what his had been like, whom did he take after and whose personality did he resemble.
"Yeah," he nods in assent, "It could be raining and we'd be all wet."
A beat.
"All three of us. Four if you count whatever it is you heard. And maybe we should head this way?" He gestures with his muzzle towards the direction he originated from. Maybe if they could get out of the forest the thing would lose interest in chasing them?
((out of curiosity, what do you think could be chasing them? XD Maybe one of Muse's siblings or either of her parents?))
