More and more often 'Naci found herself wanting to run off and away from her mother and uncle and strange red-stallion and... Man, did she ever have more than a few people to get around to have some fun time alone. First, and probably the biggest nag of the lot was her mother. Lovey Dovey constantly fussed at her going too far away. Something about her past, something that she hadn't learned yet, kept her mamma living in an almost constant state of worry. Uncle Caelen liked to tease her momma that she'd have wrinkles before she had time to get 'em the "natr'al" way.
Her uncle was another character.. Most would probably put him as a father, but Caelen was too crazy and he hadn't been their for her hatching. The black stallion that 'Naci missed most wouldn't see her again until she had grown into full adulthood. Sometimes the sadness crept over, a sadness that her momma didn't understand since her and her "dad" hadn't gotten along so well when they had been together. Caelen had been there to keep life going and to keep her mind "light as yer mane'n'tail"
.. and Harij, well.. he was a mystery to her. Kinda a loner, but a few times she had heard his unusual voice singing. Too bad she had snapped a twig and made her seem like a naughty peeping-tom.
Bah! She was too young for such worries... A full day off on her own and the chance to meet new people? Cool! Nothing could be better, well actually, it'd be better if she actually had someone to talk to. Why was it she had to sneak off to meet people? Why couldn't parents just trust their children not to fall off a cliff or into a big-ole hole? The idea caught her fancy and she took off like a streak around the field. Laughing and bucking while her mane whipped and ripped itself apart. The disturbance of the wind made it buck unnaturally and seem to disappear into midair only to regenerate on her body.
"Whee!" Seeing a log up ahead the little silver-blue filly braced her body and began to charge the log, planning on leaping it, "Yer not goin' ter miss it lass!" She told herself, building up her courage to fly overtop of it.

She'd found a nice patch of flowers to roll around in, careful to mind her wings least she crunch them as she'd done once before. That had been unpleasant and it wasn't something she was ever looking forward to doing again. Never ever.
The flowers were nice and bright and, if she managed to stay real still she could almost hide herself in them. The warm chocolatey brown of her coat blended in well with the dirt and the brightness of her wings gave her the appearance of an oversized butterfly... Or an undersized horse with butterfly wings.
She prefered thinking of herself as 'just the right size'. Everyone else was too big and boo on them for being so. Especially the tall ones who tried to squish her when they walked. Didn't they know how to open their eyes to see that she was lying there?

'Naci took her flying leap and found herself jumping headlong at a full-grown, mini-horse? What on earth was that thing. Her body reacted of it's own will, since her mind was in a staring mode. If her body had been any bigger she probably would have landed on the mare or had just not seen her to begin with. Luck was on her side.
Wiggling her mane, letting the flames jump and lick around in the air as she stared at the little mare. The wee one had a brown coat and lots and lots and lots of hair, maybe even more than her mam did. Pawing at the ground, the flames around her hooves not burning just tickling the grass crackled a bit, "What in blue blazes are ye?"
Okay, probably not the most polite wording she had ever come up with but her back ached just a bit from the harsh start and that would mean no more jumping for the rest of that day. Bah! The little one in front of her, or was she a little one?... 'Naci figured she's just stop thinkin' an' talkin' for a bit.

She let out a loud squeak as she was nearly tackled by something big and bright. Instantly she changed size, shifting into something smaller so that her wings could propel her quickly through the air like horsefly. "No squish! No squish!!!!"
As she began to calm down she fluttered closer to the filly, pausing inches from the larger creature's nose. "Wow." She stared at the filly with wide, orange eyes, watching as her hair flickered. "Bright. Big bright. I Tapanga. What're you, flame hair?"

Naci just stared at the cute little, thing for a moment before making sure her jaw wasn't gaping open like a swing in the wind. A soft feminine giggle escaped as the little one's rough grammar hit her eyes, "Aye, I'll nae squish ye, yer too lovely fer me ter be smashin' up!" Most people were happy with compliments so the pretty one in front of her probably was no differant that most. Save for the lack of subjects to her sentances. Her wide amber eyes stared up at the flying horse and it was while she had been told a name she still had absolutely no idea just what precisely she was!
"Weeell, ye see me name is 'Naci, but I'm jest a Soquili. Are ye a Soquili too? Jest a different type of one?" The little horse fluttered almost on her nose, kinda like a... butterfly! Yeah, maybe she was part butterfly. Wouldn't that be neat? "Wow yerself. Tapanga, eh?" Sometimes the world threw unusual things to her.. Why was her hair so interesting to others? "Aye, flamin' hair, have ye nae seen it afor?"

"Okay..." She said a bit warily as she heard the words 'squish' and 'smash'... She thought that there was a 'no' in there somewhere. Until then she'd just stay up in the air where she was pretty sure she could fly faster than the fire-creature could run.
"Soquili?" Strange word that one was. Strange but, deep down, somewhat familiar. She nodded. "Yes!" The fire-creature was smart. Very smart. "Not Tapanga-Soquili though. Just Tapanga." She nodded once more before darting to the side to get a better look at this 'Naci's' hair.
"Nope. Never seen before. Fire usually bad..." Her nose scrunched slightly as she flitted back to the front of the other. "Your fire bad?"

'Naci's shining silver neck had started to ache a bit from staring up so long. Couldn't the brown butterfly-thing float a bit lower? Probably not, or she chose to stay that high as most butterflies stayed out of her range. "Okay yerself." Augh, her mam would snap at her for that tone, but it wasn't like the flutter-by had any control over what she did.
Blinking lazily, 'Naci tried not to giggle as she almost literally saw the flutter-thing connect the dots between what she was... aaaannd then lose it over again. "I wasna sayin' yer name was Tapanga-Soquili, jest that it was the type of creature ye are." Holding still with the patience of an older one 'Naci allowed the looking over, part of life probably...
"I canna say if me fire is good or bad..." Once in a foul mood she had nearly lit some grass on fire, but it took quite a bit to get her that cranky. "I can nuzzle me mam and it doesna burn her so I'm thinkin' that I have ter be in an angry or scared mood fer it ter even be dangerous." Wait, should she be telling others her secrets? What if someday she needed to bluff her way out of a situation? If Tapanga attacked her she'd just blow on her real hard. Haha! Not the nicest thought she'd had today, but it set her mind at ease.

"Oooh." That seemed to sink in. "Tapanga is Soquili, yes. Least, that's what funny two-legs say. Flutter. See?" She twittered her wings for emphasis before zooming down to land on the ground. Once there she closed her eyes, concentrating as hard as she could on making herself bigger. With a little 'pop' she found herself standing no different in size than the filly even if she was clearly a 'full grown' adult.
"Magic. Like your fire hair, only not. Special Tapanga magic." She nodded. It wasn't really just hers. She was pretty sure that others of her 'type' could do such a thing... But they didn't always do it the same way, did they?
"Good fire then. Protect, not burn down forests and trees and plants and Tapanga's home." She happened to like forests, trees, plants, and everything else green. She also liked water and the blue of the filly reminded her of a cold stream. "Hm. You like water?"

'Naci just watched as the little flutter-horse as she showed off her wing before making a strange popping noise. Since when could horses change their sizes? Most butterflies didn't change sizes that she knew of but... but she wasn't too sure. Too young to know the difference between others, 'Naci just blinked.
"Excuse me? Ye think me hair isna special?" Part of 'Naci was irritated at how hard it was to follow along with what the mare said. Staring for a moment her amber eyes clouded slightly as a bit of temper begna to flood through her. No.. no must'nt burn when she doesn't think you can..
"Aye, I've nae a desire ter burn up me home. I canna say I've nae'r burnt things burnt things a'fore since me temper can carry me away." 'Naci's favorite thing in the world was water, probably because she was too scared to go into it. "I've nae tried ter go inter water... I dinna know if me hair'll extinguish fer good in it."

"Special for 'Naci, yes? No one else has fire hair." At least, no one else that she'd seen. "That makes it 'Naci special. Size change is Tapanga special. Make sense?"
Her wings twittered as she fought the urge to change sizes once more, not quite liking that strange look in the filly's eyes. She'd just be careful; ready to 'poof' at any second and buzz away. "Never know 'less you try, right? Don't think special ever goes away. Maybe start with hoof instead of head." It made sense... Sortof. At least a little bit of sense.

As quickly as her temper chose to flair, it calmed down once again. The flutter-mare had a hard time speaking coherantly so it was probably 'Naci's fault for not being able to follow along very well. Yawning a bit and smiling a lazy half-smile she nodded and drawled, "Aye.. that was true but I'm thinkin' I saw a mare not too long ago with hair made outta orange'n'red fire." Now she wasn't too sure about size changings, "Other flutters can change sizes too, eh?"
Picking up a hind leg and putting it down a moment later to prop it up carefully in the grass, 'Naci looked at the pint-sized flutter for a moment trying to decide on what words to use, "So what're ye doin' out here alone? Do ye nae have a herd 'er someone ter play with?" Wait.. did adults play? Her mam did but then too her mam had always been a smidgeon odd.

As far as she was concerned, this Naci-creature wasn't all that easy to understand either. Her words either ran together or they were some sort of nonsense that she'd never heard before. She had heard other sorts of nonsense, of course, but this one certainly had to be the strangest.
"Sounds like bad fire. Best to avoid bad fire." She nodded in a most 'matter of fact' way before giving her head a light toss. "Still not same as Naci special. Orange not blue, yes?" Her wings gave a light flutter. "No special like Tapanga special."
She grinned only to have her brow furrowed slightly at the mention of a 'herd'. "Nope. Don't have one." She didn't necissarily want one either. Things like that kept one in a certain place all together. She enjoyed her freedom. "Like being alone sometimes. Biiiiig space to wander. Someone's always out there. Lots of new soquili. Like Naci!"

'Naci wiggled her little frame back and forth and nearly yawned. Yawning was weird wasn't it.. such a useless reaction. She wasn't tired int he least it just felt good. A soft giggle escaped the sleek silver filly's mouth before she managed to get her mind back on the conversation going on between the little-big-all over the place flutter and herself.
"I've nae a mind ter be meddlin' wi' somethin' I canna handle." It wasn't wise to play with fire. Was that why she hadn't really made many friends that were her size? Okay.. so this incident wasn't going to count, "Aye, I'll give ye that.. I also dinna know if her fire would burn ye o' no."
"Oh.. I've a herd sorta. Me mam an' me uncles an' my "dah's" friends an'." The bad-grammar of youth was run-over with the filly's excitement.. She loved her family dearly even if they smothered her, "I wouldna mind more freedom ye ken, see I'm the first wee one in me family and they're all more'n a bit over protective o' me."

Her nose wrinkled as she tried to make sense of the words that the filly was saying. Somehow it kept getting harder the more she talked and... Wow. Those were really pretty flowers down around her hooves.
She changed size once more, prefferring to be tiny as she flitted down to the flower. Flowers always tasted better when she was small... And it always seemed as if there was more of the ones she liked because they were so large.
She tugged at a petal with her teeth before peering up at the filly as she chewed. "Free now, yes? No one else around. Just Tapanga. Tapanga won't tell."
