Selene moved through the darkness, staring up at the night sky. It always awed her, watching them swirl. She could remember, as a child, she had wondered where the stars went when they fell asleep. Tehya had snorted and tapped her on the nose, saying that they fell into the water and became seafoam.
Selene hadn't believed her.
Now though, she found herself wondering again.

Virgo's silver hooves lightly stepped into the clear lake water, sending ripples out from his form. He sighed softly and looked out over the water. The mirror like surface of the water caused the moon and stars to dance as his ripple washed over them. A small smile pulled at the corners of his lips. He had been told that he himself had fallen from the sky when he was young, stories and oddities he had thought then.
His eyes looked down into the water, and the glittering form of his relfection stared back at him. Was that really true, he wondered now. With a sigh he closed his eyes, pushing those thoughs to the back of his mind. He drank deeply from the lake, the cold water surging through his belly.
As he lifted his head, he stilled his breath, for before him only a little bit away stood a mare whos slender form, and graceful wings, sparkled the essance of the sky. Just like him....

Selene's attention was drawn by the lightest flicker of movement. She smiled warmly. "Hello." she greeted lightly. Another Soquili who sparkled like the night. "Come join me." she invited, seeking a little companionship. Her voice was wistful, but not commanding.

Virgo tossed his mane from his eyes, the long silver locks floating down and caressing his sides as he moved forward. Tenative at first but he was glad to have a companion under the blanket of stars above. He smiled at her and dips his head into a bow. "Greetings." he said formally, smiling at her. "Im Virgo. " he said softly, she was so alike in color as he...yet she had a gracefullness, an etheral grace that seemed to drift like the moon upon the placid lake.
His tail flicked once and pooled behind him, like dew upon the grass below. "How are you doing this quiet eve?" he asked, in an attempt to take up some sort of converstation, he had yet to meet anyone on this strange island, and now that he had...he didnt quite know what to do with himself.

Selene bowed back politely. "Hello Virgo." she said softly, and stepped forward, trotting over to the stallion. "I am Selene." She smiled faintly. "It is a pleasure to meet you."
She had not met another so like herself before. The stars... they must fall into stallions like him. She could swear she saw them swirling in his body. "I am doing well, thank you." she said finally, in answer to his query. "I was just enjoying the stars. They are so bright tonight. And so close, it is like one could stretch up their heads and touch one."

Virgo nodded his head and smiled softly. His eyes drifted from her coat, so much like his. Dusted with stars and shimering galaxys across her moonlit fur. His cyan eyes finally came to rest on the sky itself, and with a somber nod of his head he replied. "It's a pleasure to meet you Selene... I wonder if it was nights like this when those like us came into the world. When the sky is just but a breath away from the earth..."
His silver mane got caught on the wind that brushed by him, a slender strand toyed about his dark fur before it fell and layed to rest like a stream of silver upon the sea of stars.

Selene smiled. "Maybe." she agreed softly. "I remember, as a child, when I'd never seen anyone else colored quite like me, I used to ask where the stars went. I decided finally, that they fell onto Earth and became waterfalls, and dripped down to earth to give life. Tehya said that they fell into the sea, and became seafoam. I had someone else tell me that they followed the sun, and that if we listened closely, they would tell us stories the next night of what they had seen during the day."
She tilted her head. "But that never told me where I came from. It never answered my questions, why I was colored like them. It's... wonderful to see someone else who shares my coloring, and my curiosity."
She'd always wanted to be colored differently. Maybe if she wasn't colored like she was, if she had been black, or white, or brown, or red... she would have been more welcomed. Even when talking to her daddy, she felt like there was something separating them, and she blamed it on the color of her fur.
After all, otherwise, she looked just like her daddy.

Virgo slowly nodded, her explinations all seemed plausable. "Maybe... Maybe its a mix of all of them." he said, turning his gaze to rest on her. "Maybe some of the stars get tired of resting in the sky and looking at the world from above, so they drop from the heavens and do as they please down here. Whether that be shimmering waterfalls, seafoam or healing life....or maybe even becoming us. " He said at length, his gaze once more shifting to look at the heavens.
"Like you... I dont know where I came from..only stories I was told is that I had fallen from the sky, on a night much like this. When the sky touched the earth and even the wind held its breath in anticipation. " A stooting star lit up the sky, fallowed by another one off to its right moments later. Virgo kept his silence, watching in awe as the stars lept from the sky to join the mother earth.
"...Maybe.. Just maybe its all true. Snippets of truth turned legend over time.." He smiled and looked again at Selene. "All I know for sure, is that Im so glad to have met you tonight... to know that I am not alone in the world, a part of the sky that dwells on the land. Although you seem more special than I... You have wings of translucent beauty, like the silver beams of the moon.. Perhaps you where gifted with them so that one day you may return to the sky..." he said, a question to himself more than her... his mind was so full of questions now, but his heart was full of glandess that he finally was not alone.

The mare thought about it for a long time. "Maybe they did. Or maybe we're just born lucky. Maybe we were just, you know... born to be nothing but reflections." she thought about it sometimes. She had no light of her own, no matter what she was told. Her very personality was a reflection of her companion's light.
She shifted her weight, watching the starshower with her companion. "I didn't hear stories about where I came from. It was all very... unromantic. 'We found you in your basket. Yay.'" She made a face.
"And it was a pleasure to have met you as well." she smiled at the stallion, genuinely pleased. Her wings went back, embarassed. "I think it would be fun to be able to go to a star. Are they hard? Are they soft? Do they truly glitter? Are they hot? Cold? So many questions, not enough time to even think of them all, much less ask them.

Virgo didnt want to think that they where only relfections of the sky, though this was probably the truth. He liked to think that there was something more to it all. He smiled at her and lightly tilted his head, his silver mane swirling around his strong frame. "Well, whatever is the case... we are special, rare if you will. There arnt many of us that even Mimic or can reflect the sky on our coats."
Ever the optiomist he chuckled a bit and looked back up at the sky. Just what where stars. She had brought up a very interesting set of questions that only sent his mind racing. His voice was filled with wonder. "I dont know... I wonder... I hope one day I can find out...Maybe you, with your wings can visit them one day and tell me of them." he said, looking back at her with a grin.

She smiled. "I agree." she said softly. "We are very special." should she introduce this stallion to Ohanzee? The other stallion was her twin in appearance, well, almost. "I know another... like us." she said sinally, hesitantly. "He is a very... silent, stern sort, really. He doesn't talk much, but he's kindred."
She was actually very curious now. How many of their kind -were- there? How many Soquili walked with the stars in their coat?
She focused back on the stallion. "Maybe I will fly up there one day too!" she said archly, grinning. "Maybe I'll bring back starshine, and make the whole world sparkle."

Virgo looked back at her and smiled. "I would like to meet him someday, for the longest time I had thought I was the only one... I have come to realize it was a silly notion.. but still its nice to meet others that share the blessings of the sky. "
He sighed whistfully at her thought, flying up to the sky and raining down stardust making the whole world shimmer. He chuckled softly and smiled again, his eyes sparkling with mirth. "ah, what a joy that would be. When I see the whole world sparkle with stardust I will know you have accomplished your dream." he said.

She grinned. "I'll introduce you to him soon." she promised, firmly. "And as for me bringing starshine to the world, well, that will require some careful planning, won't it?"
Golden eyes stared up at the sky, wistfully. Someday... Freedom.

The stallion smiled, his eyes glittering in the starlight nearly as much as his coat gleemed by the light of the silver moon. The pale light casscaded over them and only made Virgo feel more free, yet with that pang of longing to be up in the sky. He smiled never the less and nodded a few locks of silver hair coming to rest over his eyes. "I shall look forward to that meetings then. As for the stars... yes that will take some planning... But I have a feeling that if anyone can manage such a task it would be you. "
