The light that shines so bright
It had been a combination of curiosity and loneliness that had driven her to explore the lands beyond the border of her home. She had explored the Golden Plains thoroughly, both by foot and from the sky, and there was nothing there anymore that really really kept her busy. Of course both her parents lived in the herd too and Gyps did have siblings from her age, but she didn’t really know how to connect with them.
Gyps had watched her siblings – three sisters and one brother – from afar, yet she had never approached them. She simply lacked the courage. Her siblings had a pair, an other half, someone to lean on. Rustic and Clarisse. Wolfish and Steris. And Gyps, Gyps didn’t have a twin and was alone. She really didn’t have to feel lonely, but the winged girl was afraid that her siblings would rather spend time among their close sibling.
Mother was busier now, ever since she had been appointed as alpha mare. It had given her the opportunity to sneak away, which had lead the blue haired (navy blue mane, sky blue tail) filly towards the playground. It was the first time she ever saw the place and it enchanted her. Fairies had lead the way towards this safe place, but it hadn’t been only the fairies that looked magical, the whole playground did. And Gyps couldn’t be more excited.
Whinnying – she still sounded somewhat shrill and high pitched – she trots forward, further into the grasslands. Her wings are spread out and as she beams in excitement she cannot help but to flitter them a little, without actually flying. Gyps soon spots another foal, a boy, and it causes her to come to a halt right away. For a moment she watches him, ears perked forward and short tail swaying slightly.
The small invitation is all she needs. Not paying attention to the small lake, nor any of the other gorgeous sights of the playground, she trots in his direction. Gyps whinnies again, head tilting a bit to the side as she studies him. When she is only a few meters away from him she stops, neck stretched out and eyes twinkling in excitement. ”Hi” she greets him, just as shy, before a smile starts pulling at the corner of her lips. Without further introductions she jumps forward, finally answering his invitation to play, rearing lowly as she stands beside his shoulder and playfully nipping at his withers. ”You’re it!” And with that she’s off, hoping that her new found friend would want to play this tag game with her.
