Shy wanderings

Starlight wandered through this land. There were so many places she could roam and no one would ever run into her. But things were starting to get lonely for her and even though she is kinda shy she wouldn't mind some company.



She wandered farther, coming to a spring that led out of the base of a cliff. Stopping to take a break and get a drink she wondered if she would ever have any friends. Before, whenever she tried to make any friends they had eventually gotten tired of how shy she was and left. She hoped that people would take the time to get to know the real her like Keira had. She had taken the time for Starlight to get past her shyness and see how energetic and fun loving she really was. She prayed that it was possible for others to do that too.

The purple stallion trotted briskly through the stream that led from the spring a few meters down. His violet eyes were calm, like a dusk sky. His head was high as he enjoyed any time he went or played in water. Well... play isn't the word... Hung around and went with the clear liquid. Once on the other side he lowered his head a little and followed the small stream to it's source. He stood a few feet from the spring when he saw a serian. He had never seen her before, and wondered who she was. He nickered "Hello," to her, with a voice only loud enough for her to here, in hopping he hadn't surprised her.

Starlight pawed at the water thinking about how much had changed in her life. It seemed like not so long ago that she had been familliar with all in her world, then one day all of it just disappeard. Not that she didn't like her new bonded, Keira. It just seemed that no one was ever going to want her to stay around long. Maybe now she should try harder to make a friend that was another serian, so even if she did happen to switch bondeds again she would have someone she could count on. Sighing inwardly to her own thoughts she noticed she had started moving closer to the water.

Right as she was going to take a step back she heard a voice greeting her. Looking up sharply she saw an intruiging looking stallion. He was a beautiful purple, with a green man and purple tail. Strange spikes came up out of his back and neck that added a mysterious look to him. With exotic eyes that called to her. Strangely enough she took a step forward then stopped facing him. "H-hello." She wanted to take another step but didn't want to seem to eager at the same time.

He watched the mare with with dusk set eyes, he had never seen such a delicate and beautiful mare such as her. He took a step forward and bowed to her, which was something he didn't do too often when meeting others, but for her, it seemed that he should. Sure, if it was in front of others, then probably not, but they were alone. After the bow he took a few steps closer to the mare, "I am Crash, and what would be your name?"he said in his most friendly voice. Crash truly intrigued with the appearance of this mare. Her sky blue coat pattered with ebony stars and sky magenta mane and tail were so beautiful together. Her silver ebony tipped wings, golden horns, hooves and eyes, made her looks so... He didn't know the words, could words describe what he was see? She was beautiful. Her horn, wings and coloring gave her a mystical look, that seemed to call to him.

As the stalliion bowed to her she blinked in suprise. No one had ever bowed to her before, no one. She thought that sort of respect was long dead. Even if it wasnt, why would anyone bow to her? There wasn't anything special about her.

Crash? That was really his name? It was cute. She wonderd if there was a reason behind it or if it was just a random name he had been given. She took a strangely sure step forward. "I'm Starlight" she said, her voice light and full of hidden laughter. She had always liked her voice, it was the one part of her she new she could usually controll. Most others had voices that betrayed how they felt but hers had always stayed steady, unfaltering. She wondered if there would come a day when someone could make her voice shake.

"Starlight is a very pretty name. It is nice to meet you," he said in his warm friendly voice. His eyes never leaving her. "May I ask are you new?" He watched her, not sure what to do from here. Crash was usually looked at being very calm and silent. So, this change that he felt to get to know this mare, was odd to him. Never the less he hid his confused thoughts. He decided he would let her tell him what she was ready for, since he got the impression that she was a bit shy, like his ice bonded sister, Peace.
