Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aradia Nightmoon stretched and stood up letting her horn brush against afew branches. She giggled as the water fell down and landed on her coat. She shook her fur to get most of the water off of her. She decided to go for a walk in her forest. She wondered what her siblings were doing today and if anything new or exciting had happened to them. Did they have foals of their own? Or mates. She mused and daydreamed a bit about what wonderful things could be happening to her family. She swished her tail back and forth and smiled as the beads in her hair swung back and forth. Making a soft musical sound. She loved that about the beads they made such nice sounds making her feel safe. Her one light hoof splashed in a puddled and she continued to walk. She heard a sound and went towards it. She saw the apple trees she liked to sit under in the summer and relax in their shade. It was a nice grey day and she enjoyed the cool air. She caught sight of a swish of fabric and turned her head. Oh it was a Stallion. She watched him and wondered what he was like and what his name was. He was very handsome but she didn't want to bother him. He looked so peaceful.

Aradia watched as the stallion sighed and seemed to sense she was watching him. She stood her ground as he had the aggressive stance. She wouldn't back down or let him intimidate her. She tilted her head as he hid something from her. What was he hiding on his face? She grinned at the snort and aggressive stance. It was cute. She frowned at his question. "I live near here so I was going for a walk like I usually do. Why have you come here?" She was just as curious as he was. She wondered what was this Stallion's name and story. She held her head up high as he walked around her. Letting her tail swish back and forth as she stood proud. She took him in as he inspected her. He was handsome and his cloak was so pretty. She wondered what he thought of her. Did he think her pretty or plain?

Aradia watched as he stopped when he had made a full circle of her. She smirked as he nodded. She hoped that was a nod of approval but she didn't know him well enough for her to let it effect her too much if he didn't. She frowned as he spoke of his children. "Oh I am sorry your little ones destroyed your hide out. Why did they do that?" She shivered at his low seductive tone. It was odd no one had used that kind of a tone with her before. She liked it though it made her feel a bit special. She shook herself internally no she didn't know this guy what if he was a bad guy and would hurt her. She needed to keep her whits about her no matter how hot he looked. When she refocused on him he was closer to her than he had been. It startled her but she didn't let it show. She huffed at the demand question and being called little one. "My name is Aradia Nightmoon. And what do they call you?" SHe held up her head high and looked him right in the eyes. Looking into his blue eyes her pale purple ones flashing. She looked into his eyes and got lulled a bit but her curiosity about his mask was very strong. How had he gotten that? What did he do?

Aradia saw him smiled and frowned hoping he hadn't noticed he had an effect on her. She didn't want this odd stallion to know he effected her. She was sad when he spoke about his kinds and the mare who had them with him. She wondered how he had ruined the girl's life or if the mare was just exaggerating. "I am sorry that happened to you. It sounds hard." His tone was so flippant and conveyed how little he cared for the mare and the children. She watched his nostrils flare as she held her head up and had the fire in her eyes. She nodded as he said it was a pleasure to meet her. She smiled as he bowed his head. "It is a pleasure to meet Phantom. Why are you called that?" She blushed when he spoke about the fire in her eyes. "Maybe it is a challenge. Was there an offered one in your words?" She bowed her head when he turned his head away and stepped back. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare at your mask. It's just I find it fascinating and pretty. Or I guess pretty isn't right since you are a stallion. So I suppose handsome would be the better word. If you don't mind my asking how did you get it?" She was mad at herself for being rude usually she wasn't and staring was rude. It seemed to have upset him.

Aradia smiled at him as he spoke. Well he seemed the take his life well but part of her wished she could do something to help him out. Though he seemed like the type that wouldn't let others help him. She watched his mane fall around his neck it caught her attention and she wondered if it was soft. She shook her mane and smiled as the beads clinked together. She was shocked by his words. "A ghost? But you seem solid like a stallion." She blushed and bit her lip. "How long have you haunted this forest then Phantom?" She stood still as he strolled around her and chuckled. "You do Phantom? Do you think you are up to my challenge?" She teased him and batted her lashes. She smiled as he took in her scent. She wasn't sure why he was it was an odd reaction in her opinion but she didn't know anything about him. She froze for a moment as his ears were pinned back and he got angry as she mentioned his masks. She had been trying to give him a compliment but it seemed to have made him even more mad. She stood her ground and held her head up high as he advanced on her. She watched him encroach on her space and looked up into his eyes not taking a step back. "I don't think you are a monster Phantom. I don't know anything about your mask but it is handsome." She had that spark in her eyes again and debated about resting her nose against his neck and find out how soft his mane really was.

Aradia looked at him when he snorted and relaxed as it seemed he wasn't as angry any more. She stayed where she was and shivered as he whispered in her ear. "Oh all of them Phantom? Are good at them all too?" Sh teased and smiled not being intimidated at all. She jumped when he hipped her chest and then stepped back. But she stayed in her spot watching him waiting. Seeing him take a deep breath she wondered what his next move would be. When he stepped forward again she staid where she was. She would not be intimidated by him. She looked at him as his face was so close. My turn to invade his space. Two can play at this game. She did the opposite of what he seemed to want. She took a small step forward and rested her nose against his neck and felt just how soft his mane was. Then she gently nipped it.

Aradia watched his nostrils glare as she didn't move back. She looked into his glowing blue eyes. They were so pretty but she couldn't understand why he was so angry. Just because she wouldn't be a coward and step back? She smirked as she got him to move when she moved forward. His mane was so soft. She wanted to do that again. But when he shook she thought better of it. She frowned and shook her head. "I do care for my own life. But if you wanted to hurt me moving away would do me no good. You'd just catch me and if you are trying to intimidate me then stepping back would show I was. So there is no point for me to move away." She shook her head when he spoke. "I don't like being controlled. I have my own mind and thus will stay under my own control. Do you want me under your control? Sounds like it would be no fun." She smiled. "I know you are dangerous. Doesn't mean I need to be afraid of you." She let him hold her gaze and frowned at him. She relaxed as he spoke. "Oh and why is that Phantom? And who said I did trust you." She spoke just as softly. Hearing the promise and threat in his words. She took a step closer.
