Hania felt happy that he had been able to visit his mate more often lately, but now he was feeling the sadness of being unable to see most of his friends from when he first ventured out of his secluded home. Celendria, especially--how long had it been since he had last seen his Maiden of Ice? That was Celendria's official nickname from him, and he wouldn't like it if any other called her that, besides her mate, that is.
He wondered how she was doing. He hadn't ever met Euphoria but briefly, and that was just an exchange of "hellos" and "byes" and the conversation was much shorter. Celendria was probably more open now, but he was sure she was still beautiful. Mahiri would kill him if he told her that he thought about other mares, but he knew that his mate knew he loved her dearly, and that Celendria was just a very, very good friend of his; a sister that he missed dearly.

The ice mare traveled along in her own thoughts, an occasional gaze toward the sky. A murmer in the wind causing her to listen closely for those haunting wingbeats. She smirked in spite of herself knowing full well Euphoria would come to see her again. Like water that's meets the blazing shoreline of sand, they be together once more.
She turned slightly gazing outward as she noticed a reflection of the past. A flutter of the heart in good spirits spoke his name as it lifted from her tongue to be heard out loud." Hania! Well hasn't it been a long time." she whickered with a deep soft smile. Flicking her tail she waited to hear his reply. It was so nice to recall the past sometimes as it materialized right in front of you.

Hania's ears perked up as he heard a very welcome and very familiar voice. Turning, he whinnied with delight. "Celendria! Long time indeed! How've you been, my dear?" Hania smiled as he walked over to her. "It has been so long."
Hania could tell that their time away from each other hadn't done a thing to her; she looked the same as when he had last seen her. It was breathtaking to see that an old friend of his hadn't changed much. He hoped her mate wouldn't fly by anytime too soon; he didn't particularly want to explain things.

She stood quiet listening to the stallion that once made her heart flutter with whimsical memories. Her silken cascade of mane and tail glistening like sheets of ice.
"To travel is to find one's destiny dear Hania. Let known I've been dreading the approaching summer as its hot days make me feel as if I'd melt in its wrath. Yes I know its silly but I am an ice Soquili and feel the cold as she sings her sweet melody from the higher mountains. My sons have gone off on their own as has Euphoria for a bit, she smiled back at him with cyan orbs of contentment.
Thinking for a moment she shook herself to relieve an ache in her withers from head to tail. She then spoke softly as her gaze never left his.
"And you dearest Hania.. How are you this year? I've heard you have wonderful children and Mahari? Is she doing well?" she queried trying to recapture old times that had slid away like the previous winter bowing backwards for the spring to pass on.

"You've changed slightly since last we met," Hania said, keeping eye contact and smiling. Celendria made his heart flutter with her beauty, still, but not with the love he had once held for her. They had both moved on, but thank goodness they were still friends.
He'd have hated it if they weren't friends any longer. "Yes. All three of mine are very wonderful, though the two oldest are quite difficult these days... My eldest would have loved to meet your mate. She's obsessed with the winged ones."
He knew that as the summer drew on, Celendria would probably seclude herself to somewhere where it wasn't so... hot. He himself had been born in winter, though he preferred spring. He didn't much like the summer himself, though he did love its nights, where one could see the millions of stars and the bright, pale moon.
"I'm doing better than I ever could this year, my Snow Maiden," he said, calling her by her nickname, one that he'd given her. "Mahiri is doing quite well; she's still as playful as ever." He liked this. Old times and old memories began to fill him again as he admired Celendria once more. She herself hadn't changed much, but he knew they both had changed quite a bit. Still, that wouldn't mar (sp?) their friendship.

Summer. An intensity to melt one of heart so brave yet so meek. Days spoke of the heat as it mustered its fierceness to make any creature seek sanctuary from it. Though a meer nonchalance in perception Celendria felt the arrival more bitter than winter's cold embrace.
They say summer draws out forever it seems. Days on end of heat and miserable knowledge. The flies drenched in black swam in droves upon the water eager to feast upon one of the living. She shuddered at the thought as her tail swept them away so casually.
"Mahiri was the best thing that ever happened to the Hania I once knew. You've become quite the family individual now. It fits you well." she spoke softly as her cyan eyes shimmered from beneath the wall of glistening white falling into her forelock.
"I am glad all is well. I will once again find Euphoria as his wings touch upon the cyan blue ocean he flies within. I only hope that he never loses sight of where I stand. Fear lies deep in a mare's heart where her love dwells in the open skies."

"Does it? I'm glad it does--it fits you as well, too," Hania said, smiling gently. "So it seems... I hope you see Euphoria again soon. It would do well for the both of you."
He glanced up to notice the sun was at its highest peak, the hottest part of the summer days. "This way, my Snow Maiden. I know you hate the heat."
He led her to where he figured it would be cooler, and easier on the mare. "So many things... what do you do on days where there's nothing to do?"

She walked alongside him silver white silken tail flicking back and forth. Limber built head bobbed in her stride as she listened to his words. One that made her eternal heart of ice once melt at his very sight. Looking back Hania though was more of a brother it seemed now more than ever. Ready to defend the maiden who walked in the thick snows.
The sun was beating like a hot coal upon her back and neck. Shivers ran to a fro as her withers shook from the chills she received.
"Yes. A cooler spot would be more pleasent." she nodded with a smile.
Her mind traveled on his question of days with no meaning or reason. Basically in a sense of nothing to do. Her words came to her slowly as she walked onward though her thoughts moved faster before each reached one another.
"Sometimes a run is quite nice, or even soaking in the stream or rivers. Then there are other times when simply conversing with others brings much joy."

He smiled; he was very protective of his adopted sisters--Settia, Alona, Celendria... and many more if he could think of them, but he currently focused on bringing Celendria to the coolest place he could think of--the ice cold spring, covered by the tallest and leafiest trees. "Here we are," he said, moving aside to let her view the area.
It was very cool and shaded, and Hania almost shivered with the coolness of it. "I hope this suits you. You could come here at any time if the summer's sun is being unpleasant." As he listened to her answer for his question, he found himself agreeing. "Ah... Yes. I usually seek out my adopted family members--like you, Celendria--and sometimes I run... or even soak. It's nice to hear I'm not the only one who does so," he chuckled, walking over to the spring, and drinking up a mouthful. How cold it was; like ice. This area definitely suited Celendria.

The heat was sweltering that made her coat glisten in perspiration. Frozen blue trailing ice streaks that looked gorgeous in a distance. Shimmering like an icecube but on the inside loathing the summer and calling for spring. The coolness brushing her legs and muzzle.
Looking ahead the place of chosen attributes seemed as if she had stepped into another world entirely. Cool mists edged off the lucid waters spraying lightly on her fetlocks and knees. Stepping forward she deliberately inched in the ice cold pool that nipped at her but seemed not a bit of annoyance. Her withers shivered but of how wonderful it felt caressing her lithe and tired form.
She turned back to look at him bending downwards for her own cool drink that was quite satisfying as it poured slowly into her throat. When content she smiled at him with eyes soft as her expression.
"Indeed dearest Hania you remember well. Someday Euphoria must meet you and Mahri. " she nickered blinking. "Ah for that matter when will I meet your beautiful mate and children?"

It had been by luck he found this place, that time long ago--actually, he had been looking for Aruna, the daughter he lived with. She had been the one to find this place, and had said it was a very nice place to be during extremely hot summer days.
He was glad she seemed better than she had before. He smiled, watching her dip herself into the freezing water. Only Celendria could do that and appreciate the cold temperature. He knew not of any other soquili who was so willing and able to stand it.
"Yes, someday I will meet Euphoria..." he agreed, whinnying. He smiled at her. "You'll meet them all someday. I'm sure my daughters would love to meet you--the stories I've told them have had them curious for all time." He chuckled.

She turned her elegant neck watching him thoughtfully as the iciness nipped at her fetlocks and ankles. "Knowing someone that remembers you in their heart is treasure worth waited for" she smiled with softness sitting in her soft cyan ice ices.
She breathed softly letting the coldness float about her like a shield from the sultry summer that lingered outside this haven. So nice it was that she almost forgot the reason she loathed the heat of summer.
"I'd love to meet them all. My sons are out on their own but perhaps by a turn of the seasons you may just find one. Safi though is much more mannered than Kohana I'm afraid." she sighed once more as her breath seemed to form in white wisps as they traveled lightly back into the air once more.

"My own son is well-mannered; he reminds me of me, sometimes," Hania said, taking in her words. "Safi, you say? I think my eldest, Aruna, met him..." The name rung a bell, but he couldn't place it.
"I want them to meet you," Hania said, grinning, though he shook a bit. He decided he'd walk around a bit to warm up his shivering body. Celendria might love the cold, but he himself preferred spring--a nice season of the year, surely.
"Kohana?" Hania questioned. He'd heard of Safi more than a few times from Aruna (when he got her to talk, that is--she would blabber on and on about all these different males she met and then he was forced to stop her... hm...) "I see. Does it worry you?"

She looked at her reflection as the water lapped against her ice blue legs feeling quite nicely. "Kohana took off one day and hasn't returned since. Though it's silly I worry about him with his feisty look toward things."
She looked toward him noticing the chill was a bit intimidating pulling her own self out as to not act selfishly in absorbing the cold like she was doing.
She smiled shaking her head as her mane brushed the water spraying it lightly about her shimmering coat.
"Time has moved so quickly hasn't it Hania. Look at us both parents now with our own families. Soon fall will follow as will winter then it shall repeat all over once again." she spoke in a soft yet distant toone thinking back on everything she'd seen and remembered.

"I'm sorry to hear that..." He shook his mane so that it flipped to the other side of his neck. "It's not silly you worry. You're a mother. Of course, in my own family, it is I who worries, as Mahiri is the playful and caring mother, but she does not stress.
"Yes, time has moved so quickly... the seasons sneak by us, sometimes, without us noticing, and then... perhaps we both will be grandparents. Hard to believe, truly. I don't like the thought of being old." He chuckled. He couldn't wait to have grandkids.
