Take me home - Kyros - 05-02-2018
The rain had been relentless, pounding away at the young stud. Growing tired of hiding all the time he decided to venture from his cave. After lots of angry cursing he finally made it to his destination; the Floating Key. He wondered around aimlessly until the rain finally ceased allowing the sun to peak out. Kyros lost himself to his own lonely thoughts. He was that kid in high school that didn't have any friends and sat at inside all summer break telling his parents he was bored. Except he didn't have parents to tell him to go outside and find something to do or they would find something for him. He could imagine his father saying that to him, 'Son so help me, if you don't go away I'll give you something to do.' He smiled weakly at that wishing he was there to tell him just that. Slowly the thoughts drifted away as he meandered through the forest.
The grullo boy thought about trying to teach himself how to fly, but quickly dismissed it. He couldn't even recall ever having seen anyone actually flying. How could he learn if he hadn't even watch anyone do it. Sighing softly he allowed his black eyes roved over the familiar foliage. His curious gaze settled on a clump of moving flowers. The colt tilted his head as she stepped closer trying to set his hooves down lightly. A tiny head popped out of the surrounding flora and turned to look back at him. It looked like a hedgehog, but it had bright flowers all over it's back instead of spikes. A warm gentle smile lifted his dark lips and his ears came forward. "Hello there little guy." He cooed as he watched the creature staring back at him. It's face switched from panic to curiosity. "You're an odd little thing, but very interesting." The creature twitched it's tiny nose examining him carefully before turning back to rooting up whatever it was eating. ------------------ talk Words;; 331 @Eira @Roscorro So excited!!!

Note: @Roscorro @Kyros - I'm sorry, that was random and dramatic. I don't know wtf she was thinking... Also, she doens't have a horn yet, but the picture is too good to not use lol. RE: Take me home - Roscorro - 05-04-2018 Roscorro He flew. His massive wings seemingly carry him with little effort as he danced upon the wind. He had not ventured far from his home, only ever entering the portal, as of late. He had responsibilities now, ones that would keep him bound within his herd lands for most of the time. But he found the occasional moment to escape and explore. This was one of those rare moments. And he used his wings to propel him far. Eating up land, then ocean until he found land once more. An island. He circled the mysterious place, fascinated. He had never seen an island before. Never witnessed the waters touch the land on all sides as if it sought to swallow it up. But the green jewel refused to go under. He moving in closer, skimming over the treetops as he investigate the rich island. It was surprisingly close to the kingdom’s territory. Meaning they could gather food from here to help supplement their rations. Perhaps they could harvest seeds for the greenhouses? He planned to gather some plants and fruit for Kiada to work with. His thoughts always turned to his kingdom, his family. How could he help them? How would this improve or endanger their lives. Ever since he had been named co-leader of the first herd of the Rift his thoughts were never far from them. Every action was dedicated to the kingdom and its survival and growth. Even his ventures outside the territory, though close, had a purpose. They not only allowed him to collect his thoughts, gather information, and find peace. They also allowed him the chance to meet new horses and possibly bolster their ranks. It certainly spread word of the herd at the very least. Word of mouth was the best way to get the knowledge of the kingdom out. Perhaps a stranger told of them, though not interested in joining, would drop their name when conversing with another party who would seek them out. A circle that would hopefully lead new members to them. He passed over the island and made a wide arch out over the ocean. Positioning himself to make a landing upon the open beach. That was when a head bobbing within the waves caught his keen eye. He angled towards it and his heart leapt in his throat when he realized who it was. Little Eira was struggling against the waves, determination set upon her face. She was headed for the island. He was instantly circling around her. He did not dare stop for fear of his mighty wingbeats stirring the waves over her head. “You’re not far now.” he said as he glided in slow circles. Like a vulture circling its meal. His voice was encouraging, masking the worry. He wanted to swoop down and lift her out of the sea. To carry her to the shore. But he sensed the young girl’s determination. She needed to stand on her own two legs, to make it on her own. So he remained in the air, ready to help if needed. A wary eye on the sea he was sure was full of monsters. He had visions of a massive beast rising from the sea to swallow his daughter, and it terrified him. But his will to let her grow held him back. He could not always protect her. Like Vynter he had to let her do things on her own. To learn to survive for herself. But it was so hard! He fluttered above her like a literal helicopter parent. The Dragonheart watching his herd member, his child as she struggled. As she grew. Sending down words of encouragements from the sky to the wafe-like filly. His heart slammed against his chest and had he been able to, he would have been biting his talons. With each rise and fall of the waves, with each bob of her head, his heart threatened to stop with each swell. talk talk talk image ooc: he is going to have a heart attack. xD @Eira @Kyros RE: Take me home - Kyros - 05-08-2018
He wished there was something usefully he could be doing instead of wasting his time every day. A snort slipped from his dark nostrils as he pondered his life. Having brought Hope back to the Rift, she had returned to him as well. Now he realized how much time he had lost feeling sorry for himself. 'Maybe it was my age...' He knew foals needed to be around their parents, or at least one of them, for several months. He hadn't had the chance to do that. His mother had abandoned him the second he had fallen asleep at her side. His father had been with him for only a few short months before he had been taken. His aunt and Granddam had been in his life for mere moments before their life had been snuffed out as well. He sighed deeply, trying to let the pain fall away, if only for a moment.
The colt watched the creature for a while longer before the sound of wings drew his attention away. Smokey ears swiveled trying to pinpoint the sound has growing muscles stiffened. He moved swiftly half rearing as he spun around. He heard a deep voice, but couldn't make out the words over the thrumming of his hooves. Black eyes picked out the horse beast flying over the water. He stared opened mouthed at the creature. Was it some dark creature of the Rift, or a strange equine? There was no way to know without getting it's attention. He scented the air carefully drawing in the stallion's smell. His black eyes would just make out spines, horns, and scaly clawed fore legs. After his appearance really settled in he noticed he was circling above the ocean. Shifting his gaze to the waves he noticed a head bobbing in the water. Without a second thought he launched from the beach landing with a loud splash. He had swum this water many times before chasing all fear for himself away. His metal falcon flew above him ever present as he struck out firmly against the chilly water. Before long the yearling was beside the filly then passing her. Carefully he turned and swam beside her. "Don't worry now miss, I wont let anything happen to you." He panted as a smile slid calmly over his dark grey face. "You're doing fine." He matched her ready to help if she needed it. He wouldn't allow her to go down, even if she did he would willingly go down with her. Black eyes took in her face realizing she was about his age and a pretty light blue roan color. He was careful to keep his legs away from hers, wouldn't do any good for either of them to get hurt. He glanced up at the creature above them his eyes narrowing. His falcon flew around the beast dead eyes watching it closely ready to dive into action if the man made any wrong moves. it wasn't until he heard the stud send down words of encouragement that he relaxed and turned back to the girl. He smiled at her warmly. "We're almost there Miss, we got this!" His voice was warm and triumphant as he swam strongly beside her. They could and would do this together. He wasn't sure why he felt the need to help her. Why his heart had clenched when he noticed her head bobbing in the waves. Was this the kind of bravery his father had tried to instill in him? Would the Sun have dove in like this? Did it even matter? He was not the Sun, only like him. He shoved the thoughts away and focused wholly on the girl beside him. ------------------ talk Words;; 607 @Roscorro Kyros I am a child of the moon Born of the sun RE: Take me home - Eira - 05-10-2018
@Roscorro @Kyros Note: she hasn't learned to narrow her mind's voice, so everyone can hear everything she thinks aloud (if that makes sense). |
