Ultima

Taivas loved Ultima from the first moment she stumbled across the bejeweled crystal walls of the caverns and the spectacular vantage of the ocean. She had seen the ocean before, but never quite as close and personal as it existed within the land leading under the sea.
Normally, caverns had the undeniable property to make you feel clostraphobic and frightened, yet within this glistening cave those feelings were a faded, distant memory. Instead, you felt as though the sky had been replaced by the ocean itself, the birds transformed into fish to swim about your head, and the sun dazzled its way through the waves above. Even when returning down the same, familiar path she had once traveled, Taivas could not help but to admire the majestic oddity of nature this place represented.
The light from the dying sun painted the cavern in brilliantly deep colors as she traveled, knowing that soon the path would become dark and rely upon the gentle light of the stars. However, due to the glow afforded by her mother's lineage, the shaman had never feared the descent of the dark. She welcomed the embrace of the stars' gazes, the milky white of the moon, and the contrast of their pale figures on the black canvas they sat upon. In fact, if she knew the welcoming hymn of the stars, which her father had been in the process of teaching her, she may have sung it for them.
Instead, she steps carefully along the path, hooves clacking quietly and echoing off the walls. She almost does not hear the soft hum of another until the girl is plainly visible before her.
The voice is gentle, with a softly glimmering mare of alabaster and golden sunlight being its owner. Taivas pauses, listening to the melody for a moment and swaying her head quietly in time with it before approaching. She makes no attempt to hide her approach (how could she with the echoes of her hooves announcing her arrival long before she actually came close?).
"Hello," she says meekly to the mare before her, looking over her with soft, starlit eyes and a neutral expression. Like usual, it does not occur to the girl to introduce herself to her company, and she settles for a quiet gaze and appreciation of the beautiful surroundings encasing them.

So seize the day 'Cause you have come so far
Watched a million frowns turn into smiles
Lost all track of time Felt the energy of a million stars
You'll feel love again after the rain
Watched a million frowns turn into smiles
Lost all track of time Felt the energy of a million stars
You'll feel love again after the rain
Taivas
