Stealing Sunlight - K'yarie - 04-23-2018 She poked a little pocket of sunlight with a stick. The Solar Flower shuttered as the wood sizzled. A single petal fell free, hissing as it touched a large damp leaf she had maneuvered underneath it. She looked at the flower, squinting against it s bright light. It felt so wrong, damaging the very thing her and her friends had worked so hard to save. But she needed to complete her trial. Gently she prodded the plant once more, trying to coax a few more petals free without doing irrespirable damage. All the while trying not to go blind by sticking her face so close to its light.
She knew she needed to get more than one petal. But it was hard knocking them off with a stick. But her trial stated that she had to do this job without being burned. So she was left to slowly poke and prod until the reluctant flower gave in. Several more petals fell. That would have to do. She didn't dare harm it further. Placing her stick aside she gingerly grabbed her leaf and slid it over to another flower. Where she proceeded to repeat her actions of prodding petals free. She received a few more pieces of the flower for her efforts. Feeling guilty over each fallen piece. That was enough. This would do. Somehow she knew that this was an acceptable amount. Ever careful she wrapped her spoiled up in the heavy leaf that had caught them. Then tenderly lifted the package as if it were a new born babe. Hopefully these flowers would be okay after her pestering. "Forgive me, beautiful flower." She whispered. "But the Rift has asked for some of your beautiful petals." She'd hate for any of them to die. They had worked so hard to save them before. Okay. She had them, now what? Looking about the mare wondered if the task had been complete. She certainly didn't feel compelled to mutilate flowers anymore. White spots danced before her eyes, as if she had been staring at the sun for too long. Which she sort of had since Solar flowers gave off light similar to the sun. She blinked to try and clear her vision before moving on. talk talk talk talk Tell me a story About how the sun loved the moon so much; He died every night to let her breath. K'yarie ooc: K'yarie has to take petals from the Solar flower without being burned. Anyone is welcome to join her! RE: Stealing Sunlight - Valkyrie - 04-24-2018
@K'yarie <3 RE: Stealing Sunlight - K'yarie - 04-26-2018 A scent caused her to stop. She dropped her leaf, the glowing petals spilling out onto the ground. They lay forgotten as the mare swiftly turned. Her ebony hooves carrying her swiftly towards the owner. "Valkyrie?" She breathed, hopeful. Her body elegantly came to a stopped before the other. Her hopeful gaze turning to that of startled sadness. "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone I knew." He looked so much like her beloved follower. Yet she could not deny the scent of a stallion upon this horse's flesh. Yet every other aspect was the same. "Forgive me, but are you perhaps related to Valkyrie? A shield maiden from the lands of Sunnmøre."
She had learned much from her little friend. Delighting to hear of her world beyond the portal. Though their customs were rather strange, it explained so much about her. About how she had become the person she was. In a way K'yarie wanted to kick the teeth in of the High-Maiden and how she had let Val loose within the world while truly not being prepared for it. She was so arrogant, so proud. The fall would surely come, and it would be a mighty crash. A potentially fatal one. How could you in your right mind let a young maiden leave your care so naïve, so, so... Her brain couldn't think of the word, so outrage she was at the lead of Valkyrie's home. If all of them were that way, she wasn't surprised that they'd eventually crumble under the weight of their own haughtiness. A good measure of humility kept one in perspective. Kept one truly sharp. At least Val knew how to defend herself in a physical fight. So long as she didn't become cocky and relied on her training, she should be okay. But that girl was led so strongly by her emotions that it wouldn't be hard for her to lose her cool in a fight. Egoistical! That was the word. Wow, that was saying something coming from her. She was fully aware of her own pride, though bitter years had honed her blade. Tempered her fire until it was a focused blast that would incinerate anyone who came too close. It was not the raging, wild blaze that burned with no real direction, that was Valkyrie. There was so much she still needed to teach her girl. But she had not seen her since the herd meeting. Having lost track of her. Now this man stood before her, mocking her with how similar he looked to her. But she did not reveal the hurt, the guilt at letting Val out of her sight. The worry. No, those were locked away after her initial look when they had come face to face. She was composed as she stood before the smaller stallion. As she waited for the other to speak, not daring to hope that the other had information pertaining to her partner in crime. talk talk talk talk Tell me a story About how the sun loved the moon so much; He died every night to let her breath. K'yarie @Valkyrie ooc: It is a good thing the high-maiden isn't in this world or else K'yarie would be challenging her to a fight. xD RE: Stealing Sunlight - Valkyrie - 05-03-2018
Note: For clarity, Valkyrie is currently cursed - physically she appears as a stallion, cannot remember why she hates men, and views others as the opposite gender. RE: Stealing Sunlight - K'yarie - 05-04-2018 The ethereal maiden had not been given such a look of pure contempt since her father had disappeared. She had despised the look then, and she despised it now. It was a look she had seen Valkyrie give to every man she had seen. If he hadn't been male this jerk would have been a duplicate of her arrogant girl. Her existence seemed to be of great insult to this man. His words a scathing retort. Then without another word he was retreating.
As if! She let him go a few paces. Merely to keep herself from falling on the smaller man and knocking some respect into him. She let out a breath, then the shadows consumed her. Suddenly, like a demon from the darkness, she appeared before the stallion. A being of cosmic power and fury. Her plasma mane and tail raged around her like a heavenly storm. Her violet eyes glowing as she stared down at the man. "Tell me, little man." She began, her voice a smooth, dangerous drawl. "What makes you think I will let you get away after treating me so?" Her head titled to one side as she stared him down out of the corner of her eye. "You posses a similar physique as Valkyrie, though surely not as refined. As well as her gear. If you have no relation to her, where did you get them? Pray that I like your answer." She advanced, her towering size bearing down on Valkyrie as a dark expression crossed her face. Her chin tucked close to her chest, ears forward as the battle-maiden within began to emerged. She was like a jungle cat. Every move elegant, precise, power, and deadly. "If you harmed her, I will show you no mercy. Now tell me, who are you?" All her guilty, all her anger and frustrations were raging within her as she struggled to hold herself back. talk talk talk talk Tell me a story About how the sun loved the moon so much; He died every night to let her breath.

“I am Valkyrie!”
The words caused her broiling rage to recoil and she physically took a step back. Chin still tucked she titled her head as she took in the other. The emotions that raged across his face and wracked his body as he admitted this horrifying truth. The desperation in the stallion's voice as he compounded what he had said with another plea for her to believe him held her in stunned silence. Her ever observant eyes picked out every similarity between the masculine figure and her friend. She had seen them before, but now with the light of the truth revealed, things clicked into place. "How?" She breathed, coming closer again. The anger was replaced with a quiet shock, slowly replaced by a tender softness as she gazed down at the girl. Disbelief touched her mind. Never before had she heard of a horse's gender being changed. Was this man lying to her in hopes that she'd take him at his word, as ridiculous as it was? She looked the other in the eyes. Though their frame was different, she saw her. Really saw her. She now had no doubt that this was the maiden that she had met, on a starry night atop the summit. "Oh my dear, sweet Valkyrie." She breathed, her voice like a soft breeze through a field of flowers. "I thought I had lost you." She lowered he beautiful head in a graceful arch as she aimed to rub her check against the woman's. Tears misted her eyes, making them shine light glowing jewels. Though they never truly streamed down her face, remaining locked away in their corners. Relief mingled with the confusion and awe at seeing the maiden in such a state. She was alive. Seeing another with her things had her heart fearing for the worst and she had realized in that moment just how much the cocky girl had come to mean to her. She did not apologize for terrifying her. Fore the girl had provoked her. She should have told her sooner. Should have come to her the moment this had happened. She was not so prideful shallow as to turn her away because she was now a stallion. But how had this happened? What had caused such a change, and why? The why was fairly easy for her to assume. The girl was abrasive and condescending. Her self-righteous attitude probably put her in this predicament. There were only three things she knew possessed this sort of power, the Rift and its two gods. What had transpired in the time they had been apart? talk talk talk talk Tell me a story About how the sun loved the moon so much; He died every night to let her breath.

K'yarie knew all to well of the child's personality flaws. In a way, she held much of the same views and sentimentalities as the towering woman. But there was a unrefined edge to the girl. She was all to aware of the way her blue eyes met her's. The goddess thought it kind of cute how she sought to play on the emotion that had earlier coursed through her. There was so much she had to learn. But like in a way a child tried to repeat the actions of their mother, Valkyrie sought to test her abilities on her.
She made no gesture to reprimand her. Let her test her legs. Funny, how the star-blessed could so easily brush off and overlook the deep flaws that marred this mare's soul. Where as if this personality was found in any other, she'd likely stamp their face in. Like she nearly had done to Valkyrie until she revealed her true identity. Her care for the girl had grown beyond that of a narcissistic mare bathing in the adoration of another, to a genuine fondness for the arrogant maiden. Though she did not receive the answer she had be looking for, K'yarie received a new bit of information. She was almost gleeful in her declaration. Like a kid happy to find another sharing in her punishment. "Oh?" She questioned, stepping back once more. "Tell me then. Do I make for a radiantly, handsome man?" She turned to allow Val the run her gaze down the length of her bodice, every movement an addictive drug for the eye. Her elegant head cocked upward, chin lifted as she looked down at Val from the corner of her eye. She was bathed in the light of the solar flowers, the forest a dark backdrop behind. The stars danced within her pelt, sliding over muscle and accentuating every curve. While her hair waved and floated like purple, ghostly visions. She was a truly gorgeous being, and in no way a male. It was curious that Valkyrie saw her as such though. This must be a part of her curse and she wondered if she would see a stallion as a mare in this state. They would have to experiment. But for now she would indulge herself. It was fun to tease the girl. She was all too aware of her disgust for males and was having way too much fun putting her on the spot. A little selfish payback for trying to manipulate her. Would Valkyrie give into her selective and self-important views, or would she crumble under the weight and desire to please her goddess? Did Valkyrie fear losing her enough to speak in a way that would please her? talk talk talk talk Tell me a story About how the sun loved the moon so much; He died every night to let her breath. K'yarie @Valkyrie ooc: Oh gosh, K'yarie strikes a pose. xD RE: Stealing Sunlight - Valkyrie - 05-07-2018
