Today she wakes just as the sea birds begin to rise for their morning meal. Her Emerald form returns to an upright position as she stretches out each rear limb. A yawn leaves her jaws gapping open for a brief minute and then she shakes away the sleep from her mind. It was a beautiful day in Nerine and she wasn't going to waste a second.
Sunlit eyes find her mother grazing within the swaying sea grasses but she has no intentions of joining the cream mare. There were caverns to explore just along the coastline, with promises of carefree adventure. It was slightly too bad she was alone. A friend would be sooo great to have, she thinks. She had always wanted a friend.
As her hooves clip along the rocky flats, she sings herself a little tune. It was happy and bouncy and just put you in a great mood. The ever present smile on her face grew bigger as she switched to humming. The peridot hue of her coat shimmered in the brightening day. Not much on the island was as green as she was. Even the grass was more blueish. In fact everything was kind of a tad dull...
She hopped along the plates of rocks that made up the cliffs. Careful not to step on a crack(cause those will break your mother's back). One leap, two leap, three... "Aaagghhhh," she wailed. Her front left limb slipped on the slick surface as she made her third leap. Luckily she was able to regain balance without tumbling over the cliff ledge, "Pheww, that was close."
Escaping the clutches of sure death, she continues on. Curling around one bend and seeking a narrow passage hidden from the untrained eye. With her muzzle she brushes aside the flora that masked it. Not realizing something, someone had been watching her...
