The light that shines so bright
”Is this the place? Did I managed to find it again?” She was mumbling out loud to herself, amazed and excited by the fact she seemed to have found the playground again. It had been a while since she had last come here, back then she had met Sin Killer, a colt from another herd land. But ever since that time Gyps had only gotten lost in her attempts to come to this place again. And now, now she had finally found it again.
In her enthusiasm she spreads her wings, ruffling her feathers for a bit, before she feels the wind underneath them. There was no better feeling than the one when you were soaring through the sky, free and unable to get touched by anything. She doesn’t go high nor fly far and it is only a short while later that she lands somewhere in the middle of the playground. Once she stands Gyps stretches her neck out, whinnying loudly.
Then she starts looking around, eyes falling upon the many pairs that already had been formed. And just as at home she instantly feels hesitant, not sure how to approach two others at once. In the Golden Plains she was the only one who didn’t have a twin and although all five of them were siblings by a shared father, Gyps hadn’t known how to approach them. Rustic had Clarisse and Wolfish had Steris, and the other way around of course. But she simply didn’t know how to approach them. Seeing how all the foals in the playground – or almost all of them – had already found a playmate made her equally as hesitant and shy.
As she ruffles her wings one last time before folding them at her side she starts to walk, moving through the playground trying to keep a low profile. It is then that she sees him, alone and standing in a more quiet place. Instantly her ears perk forward and Gyps’ is eager to come closer. ”Hi.” She cannot stop the smile from spreading upon her lips and she’s almost bouncing all around him, barely able to hold herself back. She studies his horn curiously, it was the first time she saw such a gift.
