The closer she got to her due date, the more isolated and private she felt. Her windy lover, Spirit-in-the-Sky, had been always present ever since she revealed herself to him, but Wolf-of-the-Water had been harder to find. No matter, when their new foal arrived, she was more than certain Circinae would slow down a bit to be around, this child seemed to mean as much to her as it did Jah-Lilah. Secluded again in her makeshift den, she is putting the final touches on her nest. My little firefly is dumping all of herself into this sanctuary she's created, and it is as much her baby as the one inside of her. Her daydreaming and singing is interrupted by the faraway sound of hoofbeats on the sand, someone approaches. Quieting almost immediately, my mare shushes her macaw companion, and cocks her head to listen. Yes, definitely an approaching equine. From the sound of it though, a fine, delicate thing. Suddenly a voice in the air, a cautious whinny on the beach. The sound reaches my mare, and she is intrigued. The call seems to be directed to her, someone beckons her forth, but not somebody she really knows. Grunting, she picks up a trot as best she can given the size of her belly, and emerges from the underbrush. Much to her surprise, it is the young lavender filly that seeks her out. Her brows raise, and she stands tall, whinnying to get the girl's attention. Moving away from her hidden home a few feet, the wytch bobs her head and snortles. "Hallo there, can I help you?" Cocking her head quizzically, she blinks and smiles, wondering why @[Kylin] has sought her out this afternoon. I can't tell where the journey will end, but I know where to start.

RE: Like a flower waiting to bloom - Jah-Lilah - Jah-Lilah - 12-14-2017 Jah-Lilah someday, we will foresee obstacles They tell me I'm too young to understand, they say I'm caught up in a dream. The girl is clearly frightened and distraught, she's gone through so many rulers in such a short amount of time that Jah-Lilah can't blame her. Confusion clouds her gaze, and it is obvious to my firefly that this child will be no threat to her or her unborn. Softening noticeably, Jah relaxes her posture and body language. With an encouraging cluck like a mother to a baby, she reaches out to sniff the girl. She takes in the gentle smell of hibiscus and the salt water of the sea, and commits it to memory. Kylin smells like the island herself, clearly as much a part of Ischia as the trees or the macaws. A fumbled apology escapes the girl's lips, and Jah-Lilah stifles a chuckle. Grunting and arching her neck, my mare shakes herself. "There's no need to apologize. You've done nothing wrong. I am she, the red wytch." @[Kylin] shuffles about awkwardly, apparently speaking of the obvious load my mare is carrying. This time, there is no use hiding the sing-song laughter that escapes Jah's throat. "I love this, this load I bear. If I'm not sorry about it, neither should you be, Grows-in-Silence." It seems the girl is in a rush to leave, and Jah-Lilah is not one to stand in the way of progress. As she watches her leave curiously, the purple mare halts, turning back around and making a face. That's when the hard question comes. At the mention of Wolf-of-the-Water, a pang shoots through Jah's heart. She hadn't seen her lover and friend in ages. Her vision had been of them giggling and sharing pregnancy stories, but it seems that was nothing more than a foolish dream. Swallowing hard, she forces a sad smile and proceeds with the conversation as if nothing is wrong. "Wolf-of-the-Water? Certainly. What is it you would like to know?" Life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes, and that's fine by me RE: Like a flower waiting to bloom - Jah-Lilah - Kylin - 12-20-2017 kylin html code by Toli, design idea based on "Dovev" by Laura Like a flower waiting to bloom. OOC: Sorry for the wait <3. RE: Like a flower waiting to bloom - Jah-Lilah - Jah-Lilah - 01-03-2018 Jah-Lilah someday, we will foresee obstacles Wake me up when it's all over, when I'm wiser and I'm older. The violet female is alone, literally and figuratively, and the notion seems comfortable to her. It is very clear to Jah-Lilah that although @[Kylin] was a bit lost, and quite nervous, she was home. The island seemed to open up and welcome the little thing into it, and this makes my mare smile. Visible relaxation comes over the youth, and this puts Jah at ease. She is glad that she can bring some center and balance to the apparently lost and struggling mare. They exchange a few apologies and curtsies for etiquette and show, and soon Kylin gets to the point. She, like nearly all others who have sought Jah-Lilah out during the final moments of her pregnancy, is wondering about Wolf-of-the-Water. Jah can't blame them. In the short amount of time she had with the evergreen mare, they had been inseparable. At first she had believed the mare to be a part of her, but then she saw Circinae's true purpose. Some come into your life for a reason, some come into your life for a season. Circy had only been meant to lead Jah-Lilah to her truelove, Canaan. With a gentle sigh my firefly smiles, weary of the endless questioning. Nosing at the pied filly, she motions for her to follow to the beach, where they could talk. Grunting as she picks the easiest way down to the water, she waits when her hooves hit soft, damp sand. When Kylin has joined by her side, she finally collects her thoughts and answers, choosing each word carefully. "I don't know if I will give you answers or more questions, but I will be honest, and I will do my best to help, Grows-in-Silence." Plucking a palm leaf from the ground near her hooves, she chews slowly. "My Wolf...she was restless. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with restless. Goddess knows that my soul-mate, Wind, is the king of the vagabonds. He rides the wind, always changing, always fluid, but even he could be satiated. The emerald mare you seek could not..." "Even with two lovers and three children, it wasn't enough. She needed the whole wide world to quench her thirst. Her departure is random and sudden, but I believe she just no longer wanted to be contained. You must carry on protecting your island in her absence. She won't be back."Your island does need you, little one. You have been the one constant throughout all the change in rulers, and you know this place better than anyone. Perhaps you should seek the new leader. I haven't met her yet, but I've seen her. The new caretaker seems to love and value this place as much as you, and to be honest a strange presence still lingers here. There are those who want to take this paradise and teach it to hate. You can't let that go down." Eyeing the girl sideways, she purses her lips and makes a bold suggestion. "Perhaps you should leave and find a mate who lacks the erm, purple pigment you all seem to like so much. The variety may do you good." Returning her gaze to the horizon, she swallows her food and shifts her weight, feet aching. All this time I've been finding myself and I didn't know I was lost.
