Crestia had been out playing with a stone that looked like a heart that she had found on her walks around the forest around her little cave home of bones. She had tried going out further and further from it to find new things and people but she had always gotten distracted helping things come back to the cemetery area to die. She helped them get comfy and helped them pass onto the next world. Or well thats what she thought to her self. She wasn't sure that to think or what there was or could be happening.
She was pushing the rock along and prancing about and leaping around with it like it was a toy and like she was a foal again. She smiled and laughed as she played with it and ran around it in a giggling circle. She laughed and ran around and then saw some berries and started eating them, snacking on the sweet things before seeing a small bone under the bush and she leaned down and sniffed at it and looked at it closer to see what it might have come from.
"Ohhhh new one! Oh a pretty bone! So pretty!! I'll have a new one for my collection!" she said excitedly!

 Rosario had been traveling on his own for quite some time now, long since having parted from his father's side. Occasionally, he still traveled back to reunite with his mother, for he knew that she often grew lonely without visitors, especially after he and his twin had left her side. He didn't see his sister, Peony, too often, but he supposed she was still trying to find her way in life. He only hoped that when she needed aid, that she felt as though she could come to him in order to find it.
Today had the stallion traveling through a woodsy area. Usually the stallion tried to keep to spacey areas where it was easier for him to move about. His bulky exterior made it difficult to navigate trees that grew close together and his sensitivity to darkness made it that much harder to watch out for rogue roots and the like.
The lighting in this patch of woods was dim at best and so if she hadn't started speaking so abruptly, he surely would have bumped into her. He stopped at the sound of a close voice and blinking rapidly in hopes his eyes might adjust, he found himself staring at a tan-coated mare with dark hair and purple skeletal markings. As if this wasn't enough it looked as though there was something... dead tied to her horn. The work of a mischievous raccoon? He hoped that's all it was and that she hadn't wanted it there, though surely she would have found some way to get it off at this point.
"Um..." She had lowered her head abruptly, evidently not noticing him so much as something on the ground. Looking down and following her gaze, the stallion blanched when he found himself looking at a thin bone and then he noticed the multitude of bones laying about his hooves. "Eugh!" He neighed in alarm and then bolted forward and past the mare, only to slam into one of the trees nearby and groan at the impact. He stumbled forward, somehow managing to get into a clear spot before toppling over. "What on earth...?" He muttered, clearly disoriented from the spook and the collision.

Crestia perked up as she heard something talk near her and she tilted her head and watched as brown and tan Soquili with blue markings ran off with a frightful holler and then watched him run into a tree. "Oh gosh!" She said as she ran over to him and looked around, the hooked tooth on her horn waving about as she ran over. "Are you ok sir?" she asked as she ran up and looked over him as she made sure he wasn't hurt.
"Are you come here to die too? Did this all happen cause your poisoned or something? I can get you water to help you feel better as you pass." she said sweetly, calmly and like it wasn't super weird to talk about someone dieing so bluntly. "This is my den area! Its also a grave yard. Its for those who need to pass. I will help you be happy and comfortable if your dieing! Mmmm where to lay you..." She asked as she trotted in through a ring of raised stones that circled a large clearing that had organized looking graves of bones resting in neat piles all around. She had random ones placed by what looked like the same kind of shaped bones here and there and there were some small ones resting on the stone walls around. In the very middle and back there was a dark cave where she slept that had some nicer teeth or small bones and small bird skulls hanging from the opening.
"Maybe here would be a good spot for you. You have nice big bones i think they will look good with these ones!" she said happily as she pointed with one hoof to a nice large spot near another full size Soquili skeleton that was pretty and white and had been there a while. "I'll have to organize you a little bit when all the flesh is gone so that it looks pretty but it will fit here. Your horn will be kept some place safe so that no one steals it for its magic." she said happily.

Rosario's head was still throbbing as he gazed up at the mare and the dangling thing from her horn came into view. It was a tooth. The mare had a crooked tooth dangling off of her horn. Gods, what had he stumbled into?
The answer came soon after the mare started babbling at him at a speed he couldn't keep up with. He picked out the first question, which was so utterly preposterous that Rosario wasn't quite sure if she was serious or not. When she started moving off and speaking in tongues, he couldn't help, but feel as though she was some sort of reaper come to lead him to death row. With flattening ears and a great surge of energy, the stallion was back on his hooves and turning around to face the mare with bewilderment and anxiety in his eyes and posture.
"Young Miss, I assure you I am not dying!" He said and tossed his head to punctuate the fact. "Will you please settle down! You're making me frightened!" When he had her attention, he let out a long sigh. "My eyesight in such dim lighting isn't very good and when I saw that I was standing on a skeleton, I spooked, as anyone would." Only, the mare hadn't spooked at the sight of it. If anything, she seemed very at home with the dying and deceased. It sent a shudder through his body. A unicorn, even a half-breed, he would have thought, should be inclined towards helping others heal, not killing them. It made him weary to think of, but he couldn't help asking to know more about her. "My name is Rosario, and if you don't mind me asking, who might you be? And what in the name of everything are you doing living in a such a gloomy place?"

Crestia looked over him as he talked to her and she was at a loss for words. What was he doing here if not to die? Was he lost? She walked closer to him and looked him over, close in the face and frowned. "Are you sure? You took a good fall maybe you didn't know you were bit by something poisonous." she said as she looked over him and then stepped back and looked around. Spooked by a skeleton...? Why? What ever was wrong with them? She looked back at him as he asked why she was here and she smiled brightly.
"Why silly i was born here. This is my home. Or well i think born here. I for sure came from my basket all alone here in this circle of bones. And what a mess it was! But i organized it and planted some flowers to make it bright and happy. But i cant help but love the bones. Its peaceful. I do not know why it would spook you their just bones. We all have them. Some of these came here to die where their ancestors had died before them. So this is a very nice and peaceful place. Some of the things i brought here that were dieing. They needed to rest here and be taken care of till they passed." she said nodding matter-of-factly. A smile spread over her lips again as she smiled. "My name is Crestia Condyle but my two other friends i have call me Cres. Are you positive you are not dieing?" she said sniffing him and frowning cause he didn't smell like death.
