Departing Aquare

[Goky/Serendipity]

After many seasons passed- mother and father growing old, and me coming of age, I decided that it was time for me to be on my own. Father had been away for quite some time now, and I didn't feel comfortable leaving my mother alone, but I needed to get away from the stale ocean I had grown up with. When I confronted mother, she told me that she knew what I meant, and that she would miss me. I expected a little more resilience from her, but maybe she understood. Father was not returning, so the land of Aquare was open for other stallions. Mother had told me she would stay there forever, whether she had to fight to stay or not. I didn't like her saying these things- she was weakening with age, and wouldn't be able to defend herself- but I knew she would die trying.

"Mother, just be careful."

I knew it should be the other way, and she should say these things to me, but she needed them more. With a nuzzle from mother, I nodded, and ran out of my salty aired home.

ooc-may i?

Hooves fell upon the sand, sinking slowly before they rose again, asending into the bright blue sky Nape arched softly, keeping flying sand from hitting the underside of his boa His brilliantly sparkling ivory coat easily reflected the sun's rays, making it seem as if he himself were glowing A nicker radiated through the land, calling upon the femme he knew was hiding among the palm trees Maw reached down, slowly taking a bite of the salty grass It wasn't too bad Vanilla grinned, he liked this place already![/size]
ooc-sry so short, have no muse

Goky-

I craned my nape, catching scent of something undrenched in the eternal salty air I loved so much. My teeth gritted, realizing it was a male. I knew the chances of Drifter coming back were slim to none, but I still did not enjoy the company of other stallions. Serendipity, however, perked at the new scent, and turned to follow it. I followed closely behind, sensing something, not knowing if it was danger or not.

Serendipity-

When a bird dancing above trod upon a dew-filled leaf, my brow was splattered with warming water. I inhaled deeply in shock. Through my parted nasals, I caught a peculiar scent drifting through the air. I followed it's source with curiosity as mother trailed behind.

Auds perked, hearing the sucking sound of hoofs moving across the bright sands Dial swung around, a nicker greeting the comers A mare of mahogany came around the bend, pelt sparkling as another followed The femme behind looked more suspicious of him Maybe wondering why he was here, or how? Or even just who he was He whinnied agian, the sound inviting them to join him in eating the deluctable seagrass It's salty taste lingered in his maw, but tasting good despite it Not seeing them come any closer his own flints traveled Velveteen bumped the younger fea's gently, wondering what her's, and the other fatale's reaction would be[/size]

[*cries* i wanna come back so bad... it stabs me in the heart leaving is there any chance Drift could come back? i'm simply thinking about it...]

ooc-sry, i thought u really left, so i was kinda coming here slowly

[D.rifter]

((ooc: i was just messing! -waves- miss you Serendipity/Goky!!!))

[Goky/Serendipity]

((anyone get the feeling that goky's acting like Sarabi off of Lion King, cuz i do. crazy chickens attack my brain cells.))

Goky-

I looked slightly less wearilly upon the stranger, and saw that he wasn't all that bad. Hesitantly, I turned away and left, leaving the two alone.


Serendipity-

I stare down at the putrid, salty grass, indifferent to the stallions eccentrication of it's taste.

"Welcome to Aquare, ebon brute. Do you need something of us, or are you just exploring. I am Serendipity."

My sentence wasn't well formed, but hey, I was raised by one mare my whole life- not a lot of socialism going on there.

[Chocolate]

His dial lifted from the grass again, a smile entering his maw The femme before him was a brilliant mahogany, shining brightly in the day's sun
Hello Serendipity, I am called Vanilla, may I call you Seren, it's easier to say
Humor showed in his optics as he silently laughed Hopefully the maiden wouldn't take it as an insult Auds perked forward, hearing a bird call another in the forest and he sighed peacefully
Actually, I wish to reside here, I suppose you do though
He continued, grabbing another mouthful of sea grass and chewing, though this time the saltiness was not as nice, mearly just beggining to dry out his maw[/size]

[Goky/Serendipity]

Taking a more serious tone, I craned my nape, answering hopefully with an intellectual appeal.

"Seren will do. I have lived here all my life, and hopefully I will leave this bittersweet land shortly. There is no stallion here to defend these lands, but a firm willed mare will take her stand if you do not treat these lands with respect. I do not see why she loves this salt tinged land so, but Drifter will not return. Other than that, these lands are yours- with the lady Psyche's permission, though I have heard very little of her since the one time she visited me."

[Chocolate]

Listening intently to the femme's words a grin lit his maw
You mean I can stay? If the Royals allow me of course
A whinny of joy erupted from him, and he set about dancing around in the sand, circling the fatale many times His maw reached out to her, inviting her to join in his frolic
Come now, don't you enjoy having fun?
He teased, flipping his banner in her face and racing off towards the other end of the beach

[Goky/Serendipity]

My blue and white eyes followed the peculiar brute, wondering if he was very young with a mature body, or just giddy in that way. I did feel joy for him as he frolicked so playfully, but I felt slight remorse for leaving him here- I felt an almost immediate sibling connection to him. But I could not let my selfish feelings disturb his ecstasy. I trotted to the beast and gave a nod of acknowledgement.

"I hope you enjoy Aquare- goddess knows someone of our generation should. And I bid you adue, fair stallion, for as I have stated before, I must leave and begin life anew."

A whinny to finalize my departure sent me on my way to the journey of my life- unfolding beneath every waking step.
