The ice mare stood serenely overlooking a small hollow beneath her. The wind was chilly but still held a wondrous aroma of the coming winter looming ahead. She thought for a moment on what her friend had said last time they encountered one another. She paused flicking her long tail and looked to the east over her. With a snort and a toss of her beautiful head, she leapt to the air in a full gallop as she streaked across the ground. The air whipped past her as she picked up speed. She felt like an bird... she was truly flying.

((*cute image* I hope to make one for Celendria one day)) heart

Draculas Babe-

(( xp :tee hee smile )

Cyrus was taking in fresh air as he trotted against the frosted ground. He watched the trees sway in the wind, it had overall been a good day. But then again it wasn't over. It was around noon and the sun was still shining. He flickered his tail as he watched his surroundings and listened to the song birds singing.

Celendria: Reared her head up as she kept pace, her hair whipping backwards flowing as a river does. She let out a joyous whinny in spite of her quiet self. Her flaring nostrils intaking all the scents of the land around her. Catching onto a faint yet close one her ears pricked forward. "Alona?" her senses told her as she wondered why the scent wasn't too clear. Pausing to a slow canter she looked around searching for her friend. "Why can I not catch her scent that clearly?" she murmured coming to a complete stop.

Draculas Babe-

Cyrus stopped to graze and arched his neck picking at the frozen grass. He had heard soft Soquili hooves thrashing the ground, he ignored it for the time being until they stopped abruptly and his ears flickered as he thought he heard someone say Alona. He quietly lifted his neck and looked around he walked in the direction curiously and soon found himself in the presence of a very blue mare. "Hello." he said in his normal low voice, he flickered his tail curiously.

Draculas Babe-

"Alona?" His heart seemed to jump when he heard her name. He listened to her and realized she knew who he was but he had no idea who she was. "Yes, I am Cyrus." he smiled. "Do I know you from somewhere?" he asked curiously as he arched a brow.

Rein_Carnation

The ice mare shook her head as if she had forgotten something. "Oh I'm terribly sorry. I'm Celendria; Alona's friend." she nodded with a flick of her tail. 'I've been out for a run, which I agree with Alona is quite wonderful." she nodded with a smile as she babbled onward. Pausing she shook her head once more. "Err what I mean to say is congratulations. I'm not a social type but I do try."

Draculas Babe-

"Oh, thanks." He assumed she was talking about him and Alona getting together. "So she was talking about us?" he smiled interestingly. He looked at the mare she seemed quite talkative and very nice. He looked at her with his emerald eyes inquisitively.

((lol.. it was OOC when I heard the news.. so just flow with it)) sweatdrop

Celendria blinked for a second and contemplated her next query. "I was hoping she would be here. I've heard chatter circulate of course. Is it wrong of me to ask about you? Well I mean I haven't met you personally till now." she said with a smile.

((meep phonecall.. brb))

Draculas Babe-

"No its fine." he beamed. "It's a pleasure to meet you Celendria." he slightly bowed his head. He looked back to her. "So what have you been doing on this beautiful day?" he asked trying to get a conversation going.

Draculas Babe

Cyrus listened to her carefully, and intentivly. "I myself enjoy meeting new faces." he smiled, gently. "You should see when they get out of their baskets," he laughed. "The young ones are so, lively and rambunctious." He glanced at Celendria as she talked of winter, "How long have you been around here?"

Rein_Carnation

Celendria beamed at the thought of seeing the irritable youngsters actually emerge from the confinements they grew within. She thought of Kanti and the other one she's found in the snowdrift. "I bet they are quite energetic after they get out of there." she whinnied a silly laugh. Blinking she looked at him as her eyes seemed to shimmer. "I've been here close to a month now. I'm quite new to this land as I travel with winter as it continues its cycle. I can sense the cold as it calls out to me." she said as a pensive look washed over her eyes.

Draculas Babe-

Cyrus listened to her and as he did he seemed to get confused. "So what will you do when the summer arrives here?" he implicated to the lands that they were now on. His eyes brightened as he started to go back on their conversation. It was very intriguing to him, Celendria had an appeal of spirit to him. It was as if she was connected with the winter not only mentally but spiritually. He tilted his head waiting for her reply.

Rein_Carnation

The ice mare giggled quietly wondering what Kanti looked like. And even the lone basket in the drift she'd found. Where there really foals within those baskets? How logical was that. "I can't wait to see what Kanti looks like. She's so energetic in that basket. Her mind fleeted temporarily thinking about his question. For a moment her eyes seemed to dim as if darkness had covered the glistening ice. "I don't know really. I've come to appreciate this land and those that roam within. In a sense I do not wish to leave." she nodded serenely, "I have never seen spring, summer, nor fall. But it will be strange when it does arrive. I wonder if I'll be able to hear the song that the cold sings every night?"

Draculas Babe-

Cyrus took notice on how devoted she was to the winter. He himself could not answer the question she asked. "I don't know but spring and fall are my favorites as well as first snowfall. Unfortunately that has passed." he sighed. "This land has been my home for a long time and I wouldn't wish to leave it." The stallion smiled at his fond memories.

Rein_Carnation

Celendria lifted her eyes to look at him, glistening once more they resembled gems set in blue stone. "I've met wonderful friends here, the grass is edible, and I've not felt like leaving. I think.." she paused briefly as she took a step forward towards the horizon, "I will stay and experience this new beginning of seasons. Traveling does get tiring to one whom is constantly on the move." she nodded as she returned to her stance taking to him.

Draculas Babe-

He smiled when she was said she was going to stay, "Well on to the behalf of your friends, Alona and myself, I believe that we will all appreciate you staying for this year." his emerald hued eyes gleamed. He hadn't met a Soquili who had traveled as much as her, he wondered if she had traveled when she was younger. Sometimes the weather in the winter was even to harsh for him to go outside. He flickered his tail as they conversed.

Rein_Carnation

Celendria smiled in happiness though her heart feared what this new beginning was like. She was born in the wintry cold, and walked in it as well. But what was the warmer seasons like? She swished her tail thinking even more so than before. "Can you tell me what these seasons are like? Pray Tell I feel like a yearling asking such things." she said with an embarrassed look upon her slender face.

Draculas Babe-

"It's quite alright, no need to feel embarrassed." he noticed the look for that expression was upon his face most times. "For you it's quite necessary to know these things." he smiled comfortingly. "Each season has it's own beauty to each on of us. Everyone has a different opinion. Spring is after winter so I'll start their. It's when everything starts to live again. Flowers bloom of all different colors. As many as you could imagine. The plains grow their green grass back. Trees grow their leaves back as well as their fruits, which are rather quite delicious. The sun comes back, warming the land." he beamed thinking of spring. "Then it is summer, where the sun is so hot you go to the lake and take refreshing swims. That is my favorite part, swimming. When you run the cool air feels the best when it is as hot as it gets. The wind sweeps the sweat from your brow. Then comes fall, the leaves loose their color and gain new. Ranging from reds, to golden and brown. Everything starts to die off as if going into hibernation, like bears do." He had encountered a bear once and it wasn't bad. It had just been roaming far off. Lily had told him about them. "After fall it is winter, and you know what that is like. If you ask a different Soquili they will tell you a different story about the seasons, but I hope I have helped you gain some information to tell on what it is like."

Rein_Carnation

Celendria listened with great interest, mentally taking simple notes in her subconscious about the grasses being greener, the heat of summer, leaves falling around her feet. She just wished she could step forward without looking like an idiot youngling. Shaking her head she noticed a few small flakes fly past her in a little whirlwind. "I think past my naivety I will enjoy the seasons. I do hope to meet other Soquli as well." she tilted her head and looked at Cyrus, "What do you like about the winter season"?

Draculas Babe-

"The winter season?" he hadn't realized until now that he hadn't mentioned it. "I like the snow, the season in general it's all around beautiful. Lily's birthday was in the winter so was celebrate that as well. She is my human bonded." he nodded. He heard a faint whistle. "Speaking of Lily that is her, I have to go now. Farewell." then he left.

Rein_Carnation

Celendria listened quite happily as he spoke of the winter and snow. But when he mentioned "human" she blinked in curiosity. As he left she nodded happily and tossed her mane about sending a farewell whinny. "Human? Hmm that's a new one." she said softly, standing once more in the cold as it danced a thousand dazzling snowflakes around her. Suddenly, a weird feeling rushed over Celendria. She felt alone and lonely, which was something that she'd never sensed nor felt before.
