Where she had wandered last got her a good tongue lashing. Her intentions were to never cause drama but it was an emotion that seemed to cripple her very existence. She had been spared from the ominous stallions fury by another. The blood bay was sensible, kind, a knight in shining armor if you will. He had given her a scenic tour of the kingdom and she had enjoyed herself very much. Alas she could not stay there. The leader of the land had made his feelings clear. She in return promised her leave, so she did. All good things must come to an end so when the sun had set behind the beaches of Tephra she excused herself. Bid Nymphetamine farewell and returned to solitary existence.
As she exited the volcanic islands, wandering a familiar path towards the woods, her world caved in around her. A darkness laid thick over her, almost crushing her petite frame. She gasped for air as a snarl came from behind her. With as much swiftness she could have she made a choice... The wrong choice as always. Going near the mountain landed her in clouds of poisoned gas. Her flesh boiled and skin bubbled. Mainly appearing on her nape since her gown had protected the rest of her. The lumps burned like the summer sun. She decided this world was just as cruel as her last...
Alone again, a portal spat her back out. Bruised and beaten...
The usual sparkle was faded from her navy eyes - replaced by agony - as she traversed across fields and forests. They did not scan for purpose, there was none to be had. A pseudo-raincloud followed overhead. Pouring doubt into her heart and soul...
It was a long trip - days even - before she came into the unfamiliar land. There were many faces rushing about, none paying her any mind so she figured it was another meeting ground. She was not objective to meeting new faces nor afraid. Remembering her run-ins with locals. One specifically came to mind every so often. The bone plated stallion that had avoided giving his name and declined her offer of friendship. He seemed troubled on both occasions but for a brief moment they - in their own way - had consoled one another. She did not regret a moment of their time spent together. She only wished she could have done more...
Today was a new day. Gold flecked eyes lifted to view the happenings around her. Carmel ears swiveled in the tangles of her milky forelock. The winters chill crept under the mesh of feathers coating her back and clinging to her sides. It's earthy toned plumage glistened against the wintery scenery. She remembered how he touched them, so gentle. Their wispy edges caressed by his armor plated face. She may have smiled just then. In her day dreaming she hadn't seen the black figure nearing. Or had she just thought it was that... A dream. He was right there before her and if he had not spoke she may have not snapped back to reality so quickly...
She wanted to run and hide her hideous blistered self. Dive into a pond of mud and scum cuz honestly that's where she felt she belonged. She was not worthy of being loved - liked even - though it was silly to think he would... Could love her. Her dished face lowered and eyes fell from him. Studying the ground on which he stood...
