[PRP] Bits and Pieces (Risti and Gideon)

[Baby Pandah]

She watched the cracks form holes in her body. Little windows to her soul for the world to peer into. She felt herself crumbling. Pieces for the world to sweep away without a care. Chip by tiny chip, she watched bits of herself fall to the ground with a light tinkling sound. She felt hollow, as if the wind could blow and she would whistle until she finally became dust and blew away. Part of her wished she could, the more the breaking continued. But as usual, she observed as they healed themselves, reversing their frightening decent and becoming whole again. She watched as she became herself again, and felt grounded once more.

Risti let her breath out after holding it in while watching herself fall apart like trampled porcelain. She felt better now, but was ready for the next attack of breaking. She stood in a clearing, unaware of how she had gotten there. She looked around for her family, her brown eyes welling with tears. Usually she would not have been alarmed by being alone, but when she felt the breaking coming she always wanted her mother by her side. Her mother would understand. She was a child of the twisted tunnel as well, she knew what it was like to be strange, to feel the terror of being different.

Her large, fluffy ears picked up the sound of one of her siblings in the distance and she was comforted again. At least they were close. She relaxed, examining her surroundings and wondering how she had gotten here. She must have been so focused on the breaking that she had wandered blindly away from her siblings' game of tag. She vaguely remembered being angry at one of her siblings for cheating, or for tricking her. She couldn't quite pin what the source of her distress had been. The more she calmed herself the more she was comfortable being alone. Perhaps it was better that she be in solitude at the moment.

ZOOM!!!! ZIP!!!!!! ZAM!!!! ZRANNNNNNN!!!!!

The day held potential. Time and time again the days bled into each other one night matching the day the day matching the night. Time never ended. Small hooves beat upon the ground as pebbles and specks tossed up from under the little hooves. Leaving a trail of dusty dirt behind just as if the land was as dry as a dust bowl. Only it wasn't. It wasn't dry there was no dust or a trail. There was a light sprinkle of snow in sparse places but that was all the proof that there was no dry dirt to be kicked up. It didn't matter though it was just minor details. The day would waste away not that time matter. Little glowing eyes saw what they wanted to see and this little colt was home free. Slipped the coop and freed himself from the chains binding him to family ties. He loved them sure but sometimes they tried to contain him. Trapped and suffocating.

Gideon was super speedy, lightening fast. So fast you couldn't see him unless you were watching carefully. His brother seemed too good to be true. And you wouldn't want him to get started in on his sister she was something else. His mother, she understood, she was just like him. Time and time again he could feel the shadows presence. He knew it was there he just knew he wasn't alone. His mother thought he never noticed but he did, she would slip off into herself and he could see the shadows waging war with her trying to win control. He felt her sorrow grow and bloom when that happened it was powerful strong he was at times haunted by the sorrow but at other times he felt at peace with it as if he knew it was suppose to be that way.

BRRRROOOM!!! Va-Va-GRRRROOM!!!! ZZZZEEEERRRZAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

Sounds rolled odd his tongue announcing his presence for all to know. He never cared if anyone heard him. No monster was fool enough to attack Gideon. He was a superhero, a pirate, a lightning fast being no one could hurt him. His tail whipped around like it was a whip his feathers bouncing in the wind they were dark as night though the blue stood out bright as day.

ZIPPP!!!!!!ZIPPP!!!!!!!ZAMMMM!!!!!!!!ZOOSH!!!!!!!

 

[Baby Pandah]

Her kitten-like ears swiveled around, the fur inside them quivering, picking up loud zooming and whizzing noises that were fast approaching. She stayed where she was, laying on the ground for a while longer to avoid more fissures in her flesh. She bent her neck around to look for the source of the noise. She thought for a moment that it might be her brother coming to find her for more tag, but the pitch of the voice sounded different, slightly off.

"Who are you?" she asked the noises quietly, still searching for the owner of the zooms and zips and zams. Whatever it was, it sounded like fun.

She rose from the ground slowly, her tail twirling around behind her like a prowling cat's. Risti pretended to be a mountain lion hunting its prey, waiting to pounce on the excited noise-maker when he came by. She wouldn't hurt him, she only wanted to play. She even tried growling like a lion, figuring that it would add to the fun noises.

"GRRRRAARRR...RARARAR!" No matter how she tried to make it right, the noise sounded funny in the mouth of a young filly. She giggled at herself, letting her guard down from the approaching stranger. She wasn't worried. Anything that made noises like that couldn't be too threatening, right?

BRRRRRRAHHHHH GAH-GAH GRRRRROOORWWWW!!!!!!

Gideon held his head high and tail as short as it was high as well, his ears were pinned back and eyes squinted because it made the world appear to move so much faster. It aided his world. He for now zipped through the lands and would do so until h is world came to a crashing holt. He would rebuild it an instant later and he would be some place new all as if nothing had happened, a split second change that never registered with Gideon. This world was seen in hues of purple balanced in a smoky haze twirling and swaying with the turns and dashes of little hooves.

'Who are you'

Instantly the world stopped zooming, his ears were no longer pinned down but twirling trying to find the sound that had caught his attention. Everything was on hold as the young colt dashed about looking for the source of the worlds that had drifted upon his ears. What he was and where he was no longer matter. Who was with him was what mattered. Was it the shadows? Had they finally decided to fully introduce themselves to him surely they could have it would make a truly exciting day for him. He would be more like his mother and that was a dream come true!

'GRRRRAARRR...RARARAR!'

The noise was followed with a giggle but the sound made that caught the young colts ear caused him to whip around and pin his ears. The world danced in red violet colors with daunting shadows, figments to frighten him but they were silly tricks and did naught to tamper this brave little colt as he examined the pains. He was a master hunter and he would find this prey that sought to startle him by pretending to be the shadows.

BRAAAAAADAH!!!!! BRAAAAW!!!!! GRRRRRROOWWWWW!!!!!

Heated hoof beats and he was back to zipping around to confuse the prey. It would never be able to catch his whereabouts if it never knew where he was. Create enough noise in one area and then lay in wait. He would trap it and show it who was the master hunter, and of course it was he who was the master. Whatever game this creature sought to play he would play and raise it a hunter. He stomped his hoof in determination before running and dashing one last time.

BRRRAAAKKKKK!!!!! KKKKKRRRRREEEEEEEKKKK!!!! CCCCUUURRRRSSSSHHHHH!!!!!

That one last dash was a mistake though. Hooves over head Gideon tripped and went tumbling across the plain till he landed with an oomph right at the hooves of his ‘prey’. He frowned before righting himself. He continued to frown even after getting his hooves under. This was merely another filly like his sister. She wasn't much prey at all she was… SHE HAD A HORN!!! His frown quickly disappeared and his mouth fell open as he stared at the filly’s unicorn horn and its point. His judgment had been wrong she could have been very dangerous with such a sharp thing on her head.

 

[Baby Pandah]

He had appeared almost out of nowhere, and she was so shocked that she fell back down to the ground onto her rump. She checked quickly to make sure she hadn't...broken...anything. No, all was well. She looked up again to see him staring at her. The loud noises had ended for the time being, it seemed. She blinked her large brown eyes at him innocently, trying to figure out what he was staring at, swaying back and forth to draw his eyes from side to side. Yes, he was definitely staring at her.

She smiled at him excitedly. Whatever game he had been playing, she was interested in learning how to play it as well. It had sounded like much more fun than hide and seek or tag. Maybe it was a super combination of the two of them, all rolled into one noisy, epic, amazing game.

As he stared at her, she took the time to study his appearance as well. She saw a purple hue to his pelt that shimmered when the light hit certain spots but was otherwise very hard to spot against the black. She enjoyed the stripy feathers that hung from his mane and tail, but his eyes were strange. Flamy and purple, they seemed to burn holes in her fragile skin the more he stared at her. But she wasn't afraid. She knew better than to be afraid of appearances, especially since she and her siblings were so odd themselves. Her tail flicked behind her as she stood again to examine him more. She hadn't seen him around here before...or heard him. And she knew she would have heard him.

"Who are you?" she repeated, still looking at him curiously and giggling lightly.

To say his find was a disappointment was a vast understatement. This was not how he had envisioned his day going. Here he was sitting in a heap in front of a little filly that was just a filly. Sure she was different from his sister but what really made her different? Sure she had a horns and she looked like tiny cracks covered her body but... wait what?

Gideon shook his head as if trying to clear it. Was he actually seeing this? He knew girls were "fragile" but were they really that fragile? He surely hadn't landed on her or hit her and she looked to be all in one piece... Maybe his eye were doing funny things again. She was at least worthy of his attention for the time then. He had to find if these minute fractures that he picked up were real or if his eyes were playing tricks on him. Perhaps it was just where her skin was thinner? She would surely fall apart if she were broken. No it had to be a trick of his eyes. No filly would be really that fragile. It had to be his eyes, HAD TO BE!

From the outside looking in he had failed to respond to her question and would have appeared mute if you hadn't heard the noises he had been making just a few moments before. Detached from the situation it would have been an odd silence, like that awkward silence without the awkward. It would be considered impolite to some how silent he was while staring at the filly.

The thought process in his head was going quicker than a mile a minute so the words to process to respond to her question was whirring around waiting for it's chance to get into the forefront of his mind.It just had to passed around, bounce off a few walls and then it would get the spotlight. "I am Gideon" His usual flamboyant responses were quelled by his over possessive thoughts about this filly being so potentially fragile. It was a rare occasion for someone to steal his attention so aptly to have him carry on a civil not riddled conversation but just a straight forward conversation.

The colt seemed wildly distracted, as if he couldn't focus on her without going cross-eyed. Her head instinctively tilted at his reaction to her and she held herself with her tail as his purple eyes examined the cracks in her skin. "Hello Gideon, my name is Ri," she said, feeling as if she should either be speaking very slowly or super fast. She wasn't sure if he had even heard her by the way he was looking at her. Perhaps he spoke another language...one with lots of loud noises and hollering.

"What were you doing, Gideon?" she asked curiously, speaking a little loudly on accident. She wasn't sure exactly what he had been doing to make all of those noises, but she still wanted in on whatever game he was playing. She hopped up and down a little, showing him that she was ready to learn how to play. She hadn't been too good at imitating his noises, but she was sure he could teach her. She smiled at the colt, her skin crumbling and making her blush.
