Artemis' ivory body gleamed as she made her way along Dantic Plains. Her twin harks were pricked on top of her head, acoustics cupping any faint noise that might come to them. Her warm golden orbs were locked a head as she walked, her long elegant flints moving in sycn. Hooves pressed into the soft ground, impressing the grass, leaving perfect impressions behind. Long alabaster tressels whipped from side to side as she flicked her tail, thwacking against her flanks. A gentle snort escaped her velvet lips as she walked, enjoying the warm sunshine on her face. A gentle breeze whipped her mane against her neck, tickling her cheeks.
Artemis was hoping to meet someone interesting. She feels as though she's been alone by herself for such a long period of time. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she kept walking, just loving the beauty of nature that surrounded her. Her long horn poke through her delicate tressels of her forelock, which hung down over one eye sheilding it from view. She paused briefly and lowered her neck, letting her nares rub against her upper knee. A few flies had bitten her and now caused small itchy welts. Once the itch was taken care of, Artemis continued to walk. She eventually foudn a rather shady spot beneath a tree and stopped, letting her back leg bend so that the hoof rested on its tip. Whithers rippled to keep away unwanted pests that swarmed around her in annoyance.
She began grazing there, pulling the delicate blades of grass up with her teeth. She chewed thoguhtfully as she gazed around. So far she seemed to be the only one there. Artemis raised a hind leg up belly level before stomping it back down again, relieving some tension that had built up in her muscles. She wondered what her younger sister was doing now. Artemis' younger sister had a family of her own and a herd . That was one thing Artemis longed to have in the future. She really didn't know what was going on. But she knew one day it would happen but when, she wasn't sure of. Sighing a little bit, Artemis lowered her head again and pulled up some more blades of grass as she chewed , listening to a few birds chirp in the tree tops above her. The sky was a lovely soft blue, fluffy white clouds drifted across. All Artemis could do was stand there, by herself. |

Elphie Dont let her get into your head... - Elphie touched the ground, her ebony daggers cut sharp indentations into the soft earth below her. a small pocket of dust filled the air. Her orbs scanned the surroundings, it felt weird to be on the ground after flying. Atlanta had always taught her to be alert. To be on the look out. But maybe that is why she likes flying so much. their are no predators in the air, simply... bliss.
- Her long black limbs started to carry her small frame around. black as night orbs hid under ivory locks, that shone like liquid silver with a strange curl to them. Her wings folded on the side of her body, she felt safe with them. the tips shining bright in the afternoon sun. As she walked along, she reached Artemis. ah, at last, some one to keep me company.
- Her Hid shivered as bugs flew near, oh how she hated those dreadful things. As she stood before Artemis her body tensed and her legs stood her up to full height. Her head flew back in, what should have been a jerky motion, but came out graceful and fluid. velvet lips parted to make way for lyrical sounds.
"Little one, are you alright?"
Her voice came wise and calm, serene and perfectly mixed with that around her. Her eyes posed questions.

Artemis blinked a few times when the ebony mare approached her. Her ears picked up the mares lyrics. Little one? Miss, I'm over 3 years old Artemis thought to herself but she bit her tongue and smiled at the mare. She parted her velvet kissers and began speaking.
"Yes, I'm Fine. My names' Artemis. What might your name be?" Artemis asked in a kind polite tone. She flicked her banner again, listening to the cords rustle as they thwacked against her ivory flanks. Artemis realized that this mare was partly like her, but not entirely.
To Artemis, meeting new 'species' from other kingdoms was pretty fun. She enjoyed meeting new equines and hopefully now, her luck will change and she'll start to have some friends. She blinked, warm amber eyes watching the mare before her. Both ears were pricked foward, to show respect toward the second female.
"I guess I was just feeling a little lonely, but I dont want to bore you with the details," Artemis said lightly as she shifted her weight onto a different hoof and let that one rest on its tip. Another gentle breeze toyed her mane, ruffling it forward against her cheek and jowls. Tear dropped shaped nares omitted a gentle woof as she stood there. The sun briefly vanished behind some clouds, briefly engulfing them into semi darkness. The weather was really lovely for fall, but the cool air was the dead give a way that winter was on its way. The leaves had changed, they're now orange and red. A few had fallen to the ground, dead, and crunched and splintered beneath her hooves when she stepped on them. There was some patches of lush green grass, and in other areas some rust colored grass. She stood, watching the other mare, patiently waiting for her to speak again. |

Elphie Dont let her get into your head... - She listened to the little one, and listened to her thoughts, she knew it was rude, but safety for her kingdom overruled any sort of mannerisms. She was lonely, and only three? she let a smile curl on her lips. Elphie was young, but this femme, she was still a foal.
"My name is Elphie." She paused. velvet lips pressed together, she let them part again to make way for lyrical sounds. "And i am in charge of the kingdom of Aphamous." as she said it, she felt a sense of pride and held her head high. looking down upon the little one through white speckled black orbs.
- She must be new here, she does not know of me. does she know of atlanta? what about the other...? Elphie had not ever met the other kingdom leader. From what Atlanta had told her, he courts femmes, but always has cruel and dark intentions. she does not want to meet him.
- " I have plenty of time, i can sit and listen" her voice flowed sweet as honey and she sent out a warm motherly vibe to the little one. it was not too strong, but strong enough, she hoped the little one would share her thoughts with her, Elphie found it rude to just go searching through others minds, and you'll never know what you might find, and you could search forever and still not find what your looking for, it was worth the hassle, not today.

Artemis raised her eyebrow at Elphie when she used the motherly tone. That was the last thing Artemis needed, a mother figure. She'd been on her own since she was only one year old. She could handle herself without adult supervision. But Artemis cleared her throat and began responding to Elphie.
"Well, I was once a part of a really majestic herd. My parents ruled a great herd that was well known. One day my father decided to cheat on my mother. He left the herd with a new mare and this devastated my mother. Eventually , my herd broke apart, siblings went their own ways and so did every one else. I was forced to be on my own since I was one year old. Trust me, I've done a lot of growing up in a short period of time that no one should ever have to go through at a young age." Artemis said slowly as she took a deep breath and continued to talk to Elphie. She was rather easy to talk to, which surprised Artemis, and she found she was rather comforatable around the lead mare of this kingdom. Artemis blinked and continued. "I found later on that my mother passed away. News got to me that it was natural causes, but I know better."
She finished the last few words a little bitterly, still placing the blame for what happened entirely on her father. If he only knew the heartache he'd caused. But then again, perhaps he did know and didn't care. It was certainly an interesting thought, but that only would anger Artemis even more. She blinked, long alabaster tressels tickling her eyelashes as she regarded Elphie.
"It's nice to meet you, Elphie. And I am seeking a steady permanent home," she said gently, and quietly as she stood, waiting. |

Radium!
if you really loved me, you wouldn't have ignored my words...
Radium studied the two mistresses, his eyes wandered the landscape. He was contemplating if should make acquaintance or just stay back and watch. These things troubled him often. He decided meeting the mares would suit best. He gazed upon his legs, wondering why they weren't moving. He had never felt more discouraged in his life. His forelock fell between his eyes, his crest was leveled and his body showed disappointment. He blew the tassels away from his face. He glared at the vixens wings. The silky feathers were gracefully disturbed by the wind, making him perk his ears. How he had dreamed of having such a feature. He pondered how she turned out so gentle and beautiful, and he was only seen as a monster. He then decided that it would be best to not approach them, they would only find him as a terrifying nusense.
This is what he did to himself. He only told his mind that he wasn't good enough for others to see, and that he should keep himself a secret. At that moment he was bit by a fly that particularly hurt because it was a sudden surprise. He let out a screeching whinny that would certainly give away his presence.

Elphie Dont let her get into your head... - Elphie was beginning to get annoyed. She shifted her back legs in annoyance, her ebony coat fitted tightly over her internal self, her back silver strands swayed gently as she moves. she was not liking the tone this little one had taken with her. she was not all knowing. she did not know elphie, nor the powers she possessed, she would not last long if she kept this manner of being up. Elphie didn't think before she spoke.
- "you will not last long here if you continue like that." she paused. trying to suck the words back in through her mouth, might as well explain. " your attitude is rude. and you do not know all who live here, or what they are capable of."
- She herd the whinny. it was deep, so she knew it was male, although, she could feel his presence. she could hear his thoughts, although his body was silents, his thoughts rang loud and clear in this silent meadow.
"come" her voice flowed, mentioning to the stag. her voice oozed with that of a feeling of warm safety, with a feeling of welcomen-ess, and a slight urge. Elphie did not like to wait much. "please come, silent one, we herd you."

Radium!
[/size] if you really loved me, you wouldn't have ignored my words...[/center] The voice rang through his ears, it felt like things were becoming better, just with those few words. Still cautious, he stood behind the tall blades of grass. He knew he had to retort the mares words with a reaction, but he didn't know just exactly what to do. He noticed the impatient look on the equines face, but it was difficult to react under so much silence and awkwardness. He didn't move in the least bit, maybe the mare would figure she was just imaging what she had heard. That seemed to good to be true though, and much to easy. The mare seemed much to smart to fall into this mindless trick. His acute hooves moved ever-so-slightly and without a noise. He slinks on, every step becoming louder. The ground felt spongy on his hooves and he felt a vast amount of pressure on his legs. He was so paranoid, so worried that both would be petrified and flea from him. He stopped, yet still no words from the either of them. He then gracefully started to trot towards them with a bit of confidence. He came to a quick halt. The noise of small pebbles rolling over the dirt. He lowered his head for two reasons. He was in the presence of two mares that seemed to have high status, well any mare really deserves a bit of respect for a stallion that has keep them waiting for reasons they might not know. And, he hid his features from them, he would try to not show is mouth or open his eyes. If they do not see what makes him different, they will not know what sets him apart from everyone else.

Artemis looked at Elphie with wide eyes. Did she honestly think Artemis was being rude to her? she wondered as Artemis shook her head slowly at Elphie and began responding to her.
"No. Elphie, I wasn't being rude towards you. I am bitter toward my father. It had nothing to do with you," Artemis explained to her as she turned her eyes onto the stallion now. She dipped her head back, glad that the stallion had manners from what she was able to see. She parted her kissers and began speaking to the stallion next.
"Hello. I'm Artemis. Whats your name?" She asked him curiously as she raised a hind leg up belly level before stomping it back down onto the ground to releive the tension that built up in her muscles. Artemis' ears twitched, listening to a few birds that chirped in the tree tops above them. The warm sunlight touched her alabaster pelt, warming it immediately. She snorted through her nares as she regarded both Elphie and the brute.
Elphie seemed to have misunderstood what Artemis was aiming her bitterness at. She would never disgrace a lead mare, let alone someone with a high rank. She turned her eyes back onto Elphie.
"I've always been bitter toward my father. I blame him for leaving my mother and causing her death. I'm sure anyone in my position woudl feel the same way, am I right?" she asked her . Any equine with feelings would be in the same boat she was in. Artemis knew that if she bumped into her father now she'd probably end up kicking him several times to let him know what it felt like, hurting her mothers feelings. A gentle breeze toyed with Artemis' mane as she waited. |

Elphie Dont let her get into your head... - Elphie, she nodded gently to the stallion, he seemed young at heart, still like a little foal to her, very cautious, he still had the same behaviors. how odd. she thought to herself as she listened to Artemis's words.
- Black velvetine lips parted to make way for more musical sounds. "would you like me to make it better?" she gracefully glided next to the mare, hooves hitting the ground but leaving no trace that she was ever there. She stood next to the mare, her wings and body pressed up against her. she leaned her head close to her rump. "i can help you." she said quietly. As she started to pull the memories out, pulling them through the back of her mind and grasping them and forcing them out.
- she stopped and leaned up slightly. "would you like that?" she asked, sending warm, comforting vibes out from her skin. her warm motherly tone filled the plains. Her auds perked twoards the coming stallion. her body still near and presed close to artemis, she gave him a glace, a dark, old and wise look.
"Elphie" she said. one word, was good enough for her.
