ALL HERD [MANDITORY]

[Gyps]

The light that shines so bright

It was a gentle nudge against her shoulder that awoke her, not the loud call coming from her father. Like most of the time Gyps was close to her mother, Besra, who was the one that urged her to get up gently. She yawned and blinked her eyes a few times to get accustomed to the bright light. It was only then that Gyps looked up to the greyish and bluish mare beside her, offering her a tired smile before she clumsily pushed herself up from the ground. The first thing she did was diving underneath her mother’s stomach, searing for the udders to nourish herself. ”Where are we going?” she asks softly when Besra moves away, signalling her daughter that it was time to go.

Gyps had yet to meet the other children of the herd. She had made a friend, but he wasn’t from the Golden Plains. He had been alone and had invited her to come closer, to play, and playing was what they had done. The blue haired girl liked him and she felt comfortable playing with him. He was kind and fun and for a child that was enough reasoning to like somebody. It was different with her siblings. Her siblings had a pair, someone to play with, to lean on, to explore with. And she had no-one. She just found it a bit hard and scary to just approach two at once, feeling shy.

She arrives with her mother and the winged girl stays close to the equally blue haired mare. Her father was just like that, but his mane and tail were much darker than Besra’s. Gyps had his mane and her tail. His dark coat and wings and her white in her markings. Her high pitched whinny sounds as she calls him, greeting him, with a wide smile pulling on the corners of her lips. But although she wants nothing more than to nuzzle herself against Phaedrus’ side, she sticks close to Besra’s. Her eyes follow the movement of the other’s a bit hesitantly and even when her father starts speaking about things she doesn’t understand the winged girl sticks safely to her mother’s side.

@Calcifer: I hope you don’t mind the slight powerplay? If so I’ll change and edit things, but they somehow had to arrive there together, so I guess one of us would end up powerplaying anyway xD.
