It was quiet. So beautifully quiet. It wasn't that there was a lack of sound. In fact, there was plenty. Birds chirped, wind rustled through branches, and squirrels dug around in the leaves to unearth acorns. Instead of lack of noise, the silence stemmed from peace. Maitreya felt utterly peaceful as he carefully swept leaves from the bare ground with his long tail. He was away from the bustle of herd life and the constant eyes peering over his shoulder. He was alone, quiet, and safe in his little enclave.
Once he had cleared the ground sufficiently he worked on positioning the rocks. Ever since his grandmother had described the ancient art of building rock gardens he had been entranced. He loved the simplicity. Something really spoke to him in the minimalistic style and expression. Presently, he was trying to position an oblong rock standing up on one end. It was harder than he had thought it would be, after choosing a rock with a rounder base than usual. He was especially glad no one could see him while he strained to push it only to have it roll over on its side when he did finally get it upright.
He gave a small sigh. His secret project wasn't turning out so well thus far.

 A day like today out in the serene enviornment of which Kismet was currently stationed in couldn't have been any more perfect. Not another horse in sight, nor the animals that created their own natural chatter and schedules hidden amongst the trees and bushed around her. Once more, Kismet felt like a perfect puzzle piece in the jigsaw of the world around her; simply a perfect fit in such a simple and beautiful world. At the moment, Kismet's life couldn't possibly be more perfect and serene, at least to any extent that she could possibly try to create within her mind. Now, more than ever, perhaps, Kismet was the most grateful to have had her old mentor apart of her life, so very happy to have grown in the ways of her teachings.
Being ever so wrapped up in the blistful world around her, Kismet clumsily lost track of where she was going, turning her head at the last moment to notice a lone, gray stallion with its back to her. Even at first, minimal glance, Kismet was already captivated by his elegant blue and white wings, more beautiful than other wings she had seen in the past, surely such wings must belong to angels or spirits? And he was doing such a peculiar thing, moving rocks around with his hooves.What a simply curious thing to be doing, no?
Feeling somehow inclined to speak to such a lovely creature, she spoke gently, her words coated with honey, "Excuse me, sir? May I ask what you're doing? Its a rather curious thing, is all. I don't mean to be a bother, and if I am I shall gladly leave immediately."

Maitreya was so absorbed in what he was doing that he didn't notice the mare until she spoke. He was so startled to hear a voice behind him that his wings fluffed up involuntarily as he clumsily whirled around to see who had spoken. It was no fiendish skinwalker that had sneaked up on him, it was a black mare. He felt immediately chagrined that he had reacted so strongly to someone who obviously didn't mean him any harm.
"I- well, I-" His tongue hadn't quite caught up with the turn of events either. After that failed attempt at conversing he shut his mouth again. He needed to restart. "Hello," he finally said, quietly. "I'm just working on my garden. A rock garden." He hesitated. Outside of his herd, such art forms weren't very common or well known. She probably wouldn't know what he was talking about. "It's a simple, decorative display. With rocks." That explanation was hardly eloquent, but he was a little flustered by the sudden company.

She gently swished her tail once, the breeze making her roots itch slightly. "I am sorry, sir, for startling you. I should have asked for your attention in a different manner, my apologies." She averted her eyes and drew her ears back in shame, for she didn't mean to frighten the poor stallion. He, and the activity he was partaking in, interested her greatly, even though she had only observed a few moments worth of it all. Yet, sensing no harm done and genuine feelings of being sheltered, she brought her eyes back onto him in order to continue listening to his further words politely.
"Ah, so is that what you are busy creating? I was wondering what kind of unique creation you were in the midst of. I haven't seen one before, but I can imagine what they might look like in their completion based on their name. an unnatural creation made with natural being? How intriguing!" True, she had never heard or seen such a thing before, but based on what little she saw and the name of such a project, it sounded like something more than interesting for her to look into. Such a thing could possibly be a wonderful new hobby for her to get into, for she was on the constant search for the knowledge of the world and anything nature related like this seemed to be a positive way to work alongside nature.
