[open] rest your eyes and stay in the shade; any

[Avelina]

Avelina first started noticing them a few days ago, the blinking golden lights waking her up from a nap and when she opened her eyes there were dozens of fireflies resting on her body and flitting about in the air around her. She didn’t understand it one bit, and there was a part of her sure that these last few days had all been part of a dream. How else to explain this? But she wasn’t going to complain, not when she knew what darker things could happen in dreams as well, so she would enjoy this as long as she could. She learned that more drifted towards her at night, and in the forest - so that is where she’s been lingering. On this cool autumn afternoon, she wanders deep into the trees - collecting fireflies as she goes. They rest in the yearling’s forelock and mane or flicker around her, adding a gentle light to the thick shadows. Hooves crunch the multi-coloured leaves strewn about on the ground and Avelina hums softly to herself and her new friends as her mind drifts in bliss. A dream world filled with laughter and dancing golden lights to balance out her quiet days in reality. Whatever else might be in store, whatever more wondrous things she might find in this dream, she’s sure all she needs to do is wander a little farther. avelina
