What's in a World?

[.S o l i s.]

Cremello minx had slowed considerably, as her legs had began to ache from having to climb hill after hill after hill, and then it just got worse as they got into the mountains. Her little appendages had to work three times harder than a normal sized horse to go up and down slopes because she was lower to the ground, where the pull of gravity was strongest. Just when she thought she could go no longer did she see a beautiful lush meadow. The wonderful hue of its rich green grasses, the trees she could see, and the water. Oh the water was wonderful, not to mention the mountains fading baby blue in the distance. In the maiden's eyes, she'd been led somewhere perfect.

"This is amazing, Exclusive. We've come far, but it's all worth it." The crisp air was cool and refreshing after being in the boiling sun almost all the way here. Sura inhaled deeply through her nares and released her hot breath out into the atmosphere. The sun was halfway down in the sky now, so it hadn't taken them all that long to get here. they had plenty of time to do whatever they wished. " I must ask, where is your favorite? There must be so many places that hold beauty and peace." Ocean blue lanterns returned from their quest to look upon what lay in front of her.

The splashed stallion was very happy the dove seemed to like it. It was a very beautiful terrain. And the mountains provided more safety. He snorted lightly and tossed his musculine head. I am pleased to hear you like it. He thought about her question. There was so many places that were beautiful. But immediatly one place came to mind. He himself thought it was the most beautiful place in the world. There is a place up that mountain, he gestured towards a moutnain that was fairly close. It is not a long hike at all, if you'd like to see it? excitement was growing in his voice, but he made himself calm down. She might be tired from the walk getting here. He looked towards her. His orbs bright as he thought about what she would say when she saw the beautiful spot.

Susurra bent her left foreleg a bit to figure out the answer to his question. It didn't hurt that bad; she believed hse could do it. "I'd be delighted." The bella lowered and shook her dial a bit. The change of altittude would be overcome, but right now it was sort of bothering her. She was used to being at sea level, or even a little more, ubt never this high up. It was exciting, though, to be somewhere completely different. Flag waved from side to side in an effort to shake off any nervous jitters.

ooc: Ick! That was really short.

Masculine tosses his head as he continues on his way agian. He knows a path that is fairly worn and easy to travel on. It in a more gentle slope then some other paths. After a couple minutes he heard a waterfall in the background and he knew they were nearing the site. He twisted his crown though to make sure she was ok. His brown and white splashed eyes looked her over quick for injuries. His orbs were soft though and showed a caring emotion. He knew that it may be easier for him then her. Infact he knew it was. Lowering his head a little in sign of apolagies he then continued. They were almost there.

The soon arrived at the mouth of a cave. He looked at her until she was caught up before going into the mouth. It wasn't very dark. Once they reached the other side though the sound of waterfalls became more distinct. But not to loud. There was a creek at the bottom that flowed with many colors from the way the light hit it. If you looked back inside the cave you would see many crystals. And the neatest part was that it was like you were inside a dome. You felt safe. He looked at her for her response.

[.S o l i s.]

Susurra stretched out her boa and lightly nudged his shoulder. Her touch was soft and lingered for only a second as she began to really look around her. Sura watched the water with pleasure as its water flowed down the every color she cold imagine. Her eyes looked up to where the source of the color was, the crystals. Looking up at them was like looking up at the nigth sky, with all its many stars winking back at you. Even though she was in some sort of cave, Sura felt more sae than she ever had.

" This... this is amazing." So it was. Only then did Sura start to walk around a bit; the maiden was being very careful, as there were many rises and falls in the cave floor the farther away she got from Exclusive. Lanterns caught on a crystal and she forgot all about watching her step. Click! that was the sound her hoof should've made on the ground, but it did not. instead there was a Shumpf! first went the front end of her body, her head leading, her barrel, and then her rump. Embaressement craweled around on her fur like millions and millions of litle tiny ants. Putting her right foreleg out in front of her was when the pain finally hit her. It was a tsunami crashing straight into her. Her left foreleg throbbed. It had been the one that she'd misplaced. Injuries were not uncommon to her, but it had been a long time since she'd had one in her leg.

"Exclsive... I... I think that I might have to stay." It felt like she'd sprained it, so nothing too serious, but it would defiantly prevent her from leaving these mountains. Susurra didn't want him to feel, and so added, "I was going to stay anyway." Once again, Sura attempted to rise, despite the pain. It wasn't working. She must've sprained that leg really bad.

Worry flooded the stallion. He jumped down beside her all the while scolding himself for bringing her up here. He knelt down beside her. His muscular body next to hers. What do you need me to do? He looked at her leg. Worry covered his beautiful large, black eyes. He scanned her over. When she said that she would stay he felt bad about before. This was all his fault. But she said she would have stayed anyway? What did that mean? Oh well he would worry about that later. What can I do? He asked again. He wanted to help. Mabey he could help her up somewhere more somfortable for now. Or bring her something. He was so stupid! He snorted in irritation of himself.

[.S o l i s.]

Susurra forced a pained smile. "Don't worry Exclusive. I'll be okay." She pasued before continuing. "First thing, let's see if I can get up with your help." The petite mare didn't want to cause trouble; she hadn't wanted to fall, but she'd know something bad was bound to happen. She just hadn't know who to. Sky lanterns were white-rimmed in fear. if there were any predators she would have been dead by now. " It's my left foreleg, so maybe if you let me lean on you, I'll be able to stand. Sound good?" Sura had been through this many times, but she'd never sprained her leg quite this bad. Taking in the confusion on his face, she nodded as if she was sure that nothing was wrong. Feeling usless was what was getting to her rihgt now. It wasn't that she needed help that bothered her, it was that she couldn't even stand. " Oh, I hope it's not broken. Then I'll feel like some lump on a log, just there.

A smile came to his mug as he forced it. He let her lean on him then he slowly stood. No predators were in the caves. And if there was he would kill them now. He nudged her lightly hoping it wouldn't make her feel uncomfortable. He snorted lightly as a humming bird flew infront of his nose. It was warm in the cavern but not hot or humid. It was nice weather. If anything a bit misty. His splashed bodice was now standing at full height as she leaned upon him. He was tempted to ask if she was okay again but decided to keep his trap close.

OOC: Eeew bad post

[.S o l i s.]

OOC: I thought it was good. I didn't leave you with much to post with.

Sura just barely disguised a grunt as a sigh when the agony of weight on her leg shot through her nerves. To take her mind of her leg, Susurra watched the flitting hummingbird darting around. It was so beautiful. " Thanks." Secretly Sura was glad that he hadn't been hurt. If he'd been the one with the sprained leg, she'd have crashed completely and probably gone into some mental state. " Okay, now, since you can't stand there all day, I think next to the wall would be a good place for me. Your thoughts?" Even though she'd asked, Sura started to make her way toward the cave's wall. She was so tired, but she wasn't going to sleep. If she did, then Exclusive would just have more time to wonder if sh ewas okay. In an hour or so, the pain will go down. It would just be awhile.

He smiled as she walked over. She was trying to save him the trouble of worrying over her. He agreed and walked beside her if she were to fall. He thought it was sweet how she was acting. Lots of hummingbirds were now at a bush of almost tropical looking flowers. There hums were making a symphony just for them. He sighed at the surroundings. They had been nice before but were much better with Sura being there. It was nice sharing it with others. A splash came from the pool of rainbowed water as a fish or a frog jumped into its cool depths. Im gla dyou like it Sura. An dIm sorry about before. I should have warned you... His voice trailed off.

[.S o l i s.]

"I've got to tell him now." No, Susurra would not tell him of her past, but she would tell him hat she thought he needed to know. "Actually, Exlusive, I should've warned you when you first met me." Her breath stopepd short as she wondered if she should resume telling him. Either he'd think she was crazy, a liar, or believe her and no longer want her there. Sura didn't know which one she preferred over the others. "Ever since my birth, anyone around me has... had bad things happen to them. I'm a magnet for bad luck and pain. I wish I could tell you why, but I don't know." There. She said it. Now Exclusive could laugh at her. Everything was going to come tumbling down for her.

[Exclusive]

He lightly nudged her. Again hoping this wouldn't offend her. It didn't matter to him. He could fend for miself and her. That doesn't change, he paused. He didn't want to be to forward. But since he had started mabey he should continue. If she wanted to leave after that he would let her but he would no longer be the same horse. How I feel about you. THere finished. He waited for her to storm out on him and winced at the thought. He would hate this place if that happened and would more then likely fall into depression. But at least it was out.

[.S o l i s.]

Thump. Thump. The sound of her heart grew faster and louder. Sura swore that Exclusive could hear it. It was brave of him totell her that, especially after what she'd told him. Maybe if she'd gone into depth about it he wouldn't have said that, but Sura didn't dwell on that possibility. Crown rested on him for a moment before she drew it back up. He'd been kind to her this whole time. To tel the truth, the young minx had expected that after the way he acted when she hurt her leg. She just wouldn't tell him. Susurra smiled to lighten the mood, and then let her vocals free.

"Really? Exclusive, I know I shouldn't, I don't want you to get hurt, but I think I feel the same way about you." The difference between them on the outside was like night and day, but perhaps on the inside they were one and the same. Sura felt so much better when he was around.

[Exclusive]

The painted stallion was very delighted to hear this. And if she wasn't injured he more then likely would have reared up. But he maintained his disposition. She was a very very special mare. She was brave to even be okay with being with him. Her size compared to his and all. But he loved her all the same. Her heart was larger then most horses twice her size! Whom could not love a dove like that? He smiled warmly. Susurra, You ahev no idea how happy that makes me.

[.S o l i s.]

Sura smiled brightly, despite her state, and nodded. "I think I just might." This discovery had created a joy unseen in her for quite some time. She hadn't known that she could love, or that anyone could even like her. This was so amazing, so uplifting, and she was glad that it was Exclusive who helped her. He had to be the sweetest stallion she'd ever met, and she had met more than a few who had black holes for hearts.

ooc: Lol. My turn to post bad.
