Jah-Lilah
Someway baby, it's part of me, apart from me.
The red mare needed to move. She rose seamlessly to her feet and begin to wander. The one thing she could always depend on was the Earth-Mother to take her where she needed to be. So why take her here? Why lead her to a place that threatens to consume her? Jah-Lilah never felt concerned with being trapped anywhere until she came to Beqanna and stayed longer than she intended to. It had all started with the evergreen and azure girl, and had snowballed after that. The emotions, the feelings, the yearnings that she hadn't felt in so many seasons, they threatened to overload her circuits(no pun intended). She was uncomfortable. She had seemed to find a small family unit, like so many do on the plains, yet something inside Jah wouldn't settle. There had been a great change in the land that her dear companion called home, and it made my firefly anxious. A great darkness was growing, festering. It was about to get bad, and Jah-Lilah didn't know if the equine residing in Beqanna were even ready for it.
A heavy sigh escapes her lips and she bunny hops across a small stream in her path. She halts, changing her mind and spinning round to take a gentle sip from the icy water. Her hooves make crunching noises as she makes her way to nowhere. Nowhere. That's almost where she wish she was again. A ship drifting in the sea. Things were easier when she had no ties. She could come in like a wrecking ball and tear everything up, then leave when she was ready. Things are different now, she's got feelings involved. Jah-Lilah you know better, the only thing you've ever been truly afraid of was commitment. Yet here you are, pining away about a shifter-mare and a Pegasus. My flower shakes her head at the nagging voice, her feathers twirling and playing in the wind. They make her heart race, Circinae and Canaan. At first is was just the girl, but the honeycomb stallion just fit into place so easily. Jah-Lilah was extremely fond of him already as well. Her stomach churned and danced at the thought of leaving them all behind, but her mind and hooves were antsy. And so this is how she found herself face-to-face with the Tephran Volcano, smoke coiling lazily out of the top like a beacon, drawing her in.
It's not the mountain she's come for though, it's the sea. She allows her hooves to move her to a place overlooking the beach and the water. She closes her eyes, listening. A warm glow seeps from her skin, her electricity creating a soft light as she stands on the edge of the beach in the fading sun. She hears the waves crashing near her hooves and the seagulls fighting over one thing or another and smiles. The salt stings her nose, but it is a welcome flush from the sensory overload she's been having lately. She was incredibly happy with her life here, but incredibly scared of it too. With all the turmoil in Taiga right now, did she dare run the risk of being lost in love again? And if something should happen to those who meant the most to her...no, Jah-Lilah couldn't think of that now. She inhaled deeply and opened her eyes, watching the flying fish leaping in and out of the water and longing to be like them. They had no cares, no worries. Jah-Lilah was like them once, but will never be again. She shakes her head again, clearing her mind and tuning out the world to only see the ocean.
You're laying waste to Halloween.
