YOU'RE ONLY AS SICK AS YOUR SECRETS
Pangea and Aela were at odds.
The land seemed quiet and Aela - glowing, golden, fiery-aura Aela - was not.
Sunlight had returned to Beqanna and truth be told, life hadn't been that much different in the dark. Horses were born, some lived and some died - all under the cover of an endless night that had finally ended. Perhaps Aela had wanted too much; she had thought that the return of the light might reveal something more than decaying bodies and stagnant lives.
But it had not.
She kept company with her bitter disappointment for a time, mulling over the way that some things had stayed the same. That had lasted only a short time. The palomino has never been one to wallow on emotions and so she had returned to what she did before the Eclipse. The striped girl resumed traveling the Common Lands, listenings for news of things that might be of interest and sharpening the talents that she kept concealed beneath a pretty face.
With the Meadow mostly empty and the River barren of anyone of interest, she had taken the risk to come here. To the Field.
Aela stands for a time beneath the trees and she studies the few horses here. A bay stallion who comes too close is greeted with a memory of a monster with too many teeth. And it puts her in a playful mood to watch the rogue scatter away from the memory, an impish smile tugging on her pale lips.
What draws her immediate attention is the golden dapples because she has seen them before.
There had been a yearling fuzz on them but there is no mistaking that gilded pattern. He's grown larger since their last meeting (and as Aela approaches, she has no problem reminding @[Wherewolf] of it with a flashing memory of his scowl as passes by him). What had already started as a promising morning grows and the striped palomino smiles, tilting her blazed head towards the pair of stallions. Aela's blue eyes flick to the dark stallion, before glancing back to the pegasus. "Wherewolf," says his half-sister, speaking as if they regularly did so. Her gaze moves curiously back to the stranger, "who's your friend?"
