you were a vision in the morning when the light came through - Chryseis - 03-20-2019 you were a vision in the morning when the light came through, i know i've only felt religion when i've lied with you and i'm still waking every morning but it's not with you . RE: you were a vision in the morning when the light came through - Aldric - 04-04-2019 you look like yourself Back here on the river again Aldric roams the boundaries of the forest. He does not belong in those dark recesses of trees and trouble, but he is drawn to the lifeline of clear water that flashes silver in the evening light, feeding the greenery on either side. From field, to meadow, to forest, the sabino stallion has remained an unwilling nomad. only it aint on the surface Aldric @[Chryseis] RE: you were a vision in the morning when the light came through - Aodhan - 04-06-2019 Aodhán little fire All that is gold does not glitter; not all who wander are lost
I’m strolling today, not sure where to go. Mamma would probably say I got my father's wanderlust; heck, he'd probably agree. I know they noticed my blue shells too, but they didn't seem willing to talk too much about it. I guess maybe they're just glad I made it back in one piece. What I don't know is how my sister went before me, and maybe they had gotten used to it somewhat. Or maybe my little brother Ilan takes up too much of their time (I didn't know back then he was in there, but the pregnancy might have distracted my mom). Thinking of my little brother makes me happy. He's cute, with all the dots on him. Eurwen looked a bit like that too, before. She has the gold in her mane, or at least the metallic shine these days. Used to be my kind of gold, you know, on the spots; but ever since she went all-pink with her dots something is different about her. Not that I mind, she will forever be my very best big sister; I don't have much to compare her with, since Oisín isn't exactly the babysitter type. I've heard about other siblings too, but I've never met them. I was quite a happy young boy growing up if I'm honest. Papa always says I will be better than him, but I don't know about that yet. He seems pretty okay to me, now. Or perhaps I don't really think about what happened before I came to life. As I wander, the night falls, but I don't feel like going back yet. Somehow there's something pulling me here. I don't know why, not what I'm looking for... until a shimmer of gold catches my eye up ahead. Ooooh how exciting is this. Someone with gold on them, surely I should investigate. I thread closer, but when I do, I notice some other stallion (much older than me) standing up ahead. It doesn't appear like he saw me, but is more or less captivated by the golden shimmer, much like me. My throat itches. No, don't. I can say hello first. I suppress the cough with a snort, then walk up to the stallion. "What are we staring at?" I ask curiously, wondering why he seems so captivated (I haven't actually experienced anything close to love or even attraction with my 1,5 years old). Still, when I follow his gaze, I grin widely. "Hiya!" I greet the blue roan mare loudly - unfortunately for this fellow, I am not the silent type. @[Chryseis] @[Aldric] Sorry I'm late to the party and crashing it <3 RE: you were a vision in the morning when the light came through - Chryseis - 04-06-2019 you were a vision in the morning when the light came through, i know i've only felt religion when i've lied with you and i'm still waking every morning but it's not with you . @[Aodhan] I totally forgot to mark this as private after Aldric replied, so I'm posting a reply separate to Aldric and hopefully you dont mind having a private thread with big sis and not a group thread haha RE: you were a vision in the morning when the light came through - Aodhan - 04-07-2019 Aodhán little fire All that is gold does not glitter; not all who wander are lost
She quickly notices me; perhaps even before I greeted her, but the greeting is always the first thing I'll give anyone. Or, well, most of the time. I do like watching pretty things, but then, I also think it's incredibly rude of me not to let someone know I've found them, and in my youthfulness I want to be the good guy, always. I doubt that this will change in the future, but hey, you never know what the future holds. Focus. The roan mare with the gold marking comes closer, and I turn my head to give in to my cough. It's not too bad, what with meeting the bear-mare not too long ago. But it never really goes away, I suspect. I wish I could do more about it - I know I'm not the only one with symptoms. She's funny though. She doesn't start with a greeting, but with a comparison. I tilt my head slightly, looking at her with my grandmother's emerald-coloured orbs. I don't really know what to do with the comment, but she gives up her name and so that's what I latch on to. "I'm Aodhan," I say gleefully. On the topic of family, I add, "Papa says I'm named after my aunt. But I don't really know her because, uhm, she died long ago." Oops, bad subject. I shake my head. "I mean, uhm, what are your sisters like?" I look her over curiously, and though there is familiarity in her face, I can't quite pinpoint if she would be family or not. I guess she is though. If her sisters look like me. She seems determined to find out; her question is prompted after another careful inspection, and it makes me a little uneasy. "I didn't steal it or anything." I retort defensively, but then I know how ridiculous that sounds and I chuckle. "I'm guessing from my Papa. My sisters have it too. Well not on the spots. In their mane. Or, no, Eurwen's changed." I frown deeply, then shake my head to look back at her. "She's more pink now." @[Chryseis] Oops sorry about that! I hope it works out this way though.

I adore my sister before I even know she is one. Strange as that may sound, she reminds me more of Eurwen than Oisín, even though on the surface one would say the latter is more akin to her. But Oisín is more distant, having her own adventures. Eurwen shares them - despite not having many - and this roan mare also gives off that vibe: she cares about things, on a deeper level than most. If I had enough self reflection skills I’d say maybe of all my siblings she is the most similar to me. But I am focused on the present now; her name has no meaning she says? Or no. She says she is not named after anyone. He shrugs. ”It’s still a pretty name.” It reminds me of flowers and butterflies, but maybe I’m confusing chrysalis and chrysanthemum with it - then I grin, remembering the origin of the latter flower’s name - in it’s original tongue. ”Don’t you know what it means? I bet you’re named after yourself!” Golden, that’s what she is, after all. I’m about as easily excitable as she - in my youth perhaps even more. I jump up a little when she says she knows my parents, forget that she says it with a tad bit more nostalgia than she should, had it been purely happy memories; but I don’t really notice, and can you blame me? I have another sister! ”Awesome! You should visit more often! I have a little brother, too!” Bumping my nose against hers before she can stop me, I gleefully gleam at her dark eyes and golden blaze. It takes a second for the careful tone of her question to actually reach my senses, but when they do I’m equally timid. ”Oh. Well. We haven’t really seen much of mother after Ilan was born. I thought maybe she’s sick - dad’s worried too. He does a lot of worrying these days. He doesn’t talk or play a lot any mor.” I bite my lip and look at her. With any other parent, not talking much or not engaging in play might be considered normal, but I remember my first half year of life and it was much more exciting. Maybe Chryseis could help them, I wonder? But no - she probably has her own life, and I shake my head. Did I tell her what I can do, yet? ”Did I tell you yet? Look!” I make a really determined face in an effort to distract us both, and then I start glowing and radiating heat. When if works, I grin widely at her. ”Tadaa!” Impressive, no? My other siblings don’t have it as far as I know. @[Chryseis] |
