~Dark Moon~

I looked up and around to see fimillar land. We were here. Trees loomed over us, almost hiding the night sky."Here we are, the Royal Mountains." I said to Spell. Our journey was a long and quiet one, whic made me wonder what Spell was thinking. I conitiued to walk until we were at the foot of the monutains. Even though the mountains were fairly easy to climb, I had not gone up. Instead I lived in a small cave on the foot of the mountains. " Make your self at home." I said smiling at Spell. I really hoped she liked my kingdom, for it was very different from the Peak. For the forest in the Peak is like one from a jungle, while here is just a forest.

I looked around. It is a glorious site for my eyes. "It's beautiful," I said in wonderment. It gazed at Moon. I feel like a little foal again. If sniffed the ground, memorizing the smell of the land. "And it's all yours," I asked. My feet move me to a little ways away where I look around again. I return to Moon's side, not sure I want to leave it. The sun was completely gone now and I had a bit of a time making him out in my vision. If he had been black like me then I wouldn't see him at all.

[>-{Apryl}->]

I smiled at Spell, as I watched her. The way she looked just now was the same way I did when I first saw this land. " Thank you." I said to her. " Just wait till morning, its even more beautiful." I notice Spell seemed ever so egar to explore, yet she wouldn't leave my side.

" Yes, this land and all the rest of the Light lands." I said to her quietly. I continued to walk forward until I found my favorite soft patch of grass and leaves. " You can look around if you wish. If you do I must warn you, it get very dark here at night." I warned her. Still standing over my spot, I soon got down on my knees and then slowly laid down. I wasn't tired enough to sleep, no but tired enough to just rest. Still, I wanted to see what Spell does, I took great interest in her.

[sassy12]

I nodded to Moon's comment on how dark it would get. I waited until he layed down before I started to look around. I wasn't going to go very far away from this area. I made a circle with a diameter of ten feet around Moon. My eyes failed at nothing when searching the area. My nose breathed in the every scents of the area. My ears captured the sounds around us. After I had finished my circle, I moved back to Moon's side. "This is extrodinary," I said settling onto the ground next to him. I sighed when I hit the ground.

[>-{Apryl}->]

I watched Spell explore the area we were in. Every smell, every sight, and ever sound Spell took in. I smiled at her as she laid down beside me. " Goodnight." I sai dto her with my smooth lyrics.I soon closed my eyes and went to sleep.

Sunlight soon shone in my eyes as the dawn of a new day was beginging. Slowly I got up and shoke off anything on my coat. I looked down on the ground to see Spell still sleeping. Not wanting to wake her up, I tried hard to be quiet as I walked over to a small pond not far from were Spell and I were. It was hard being this quite when your my size, for whenever I walk the thundering of my hooves could still be heard. Soon I made it to the pond. I gracfully lowered my head and gulped at the fresh water. I then carfully walke dover to a large patch of grass to have something to eat, still trying hard not to make a sound. There I started to eat.

[sassy12]

After the full night of sleeping, my rested body grew waken. I stirred. I lifted my head from the cushion of the grass. I blinked away the sleep that had overtook me. I looked over to where Moon had been laying. I was alarmed when I didn't find him there. I lurched to my feet and turned my head. I soon spotted Moon eating grass. I relaxed myself. I shook my coat out, maning striking both sides of my light framed neck. I walked over to Moon's side. "Good morning," I said softly to him.

[>-{Apryl}->]

" Good morning." I said back to Spell as I nuzzled her neck softly. I swallowed the last little bits of grass. I moved over a little so Spell could eat, if she wanted. " If you want I could show you around. Its looks like it would be a nice day to explore." I said with a smile as I looked up to the sky. Just one small grey cloud was floating there. Well its only one grey cloud, it should dissapper. I though shaking my mighty main. Just then I remember something, in my dream I had. I really needed to ask Spell something. " Spell... I was wondering. If you have no where else to live, would you want to come and live in my herd?" I asked her. I really liked Spell, yet I did not know alot about her. I at lest wanted her to be in my herd so I could protect her but maybe, just maybe I wanted her for something more....

[sassy12]

I nibled on the grass next to Moon. I looked up when he started his question. His question caught he slightly off gaurd and it was a minute before I could respond. "Be in your herd," I pondered, "That would be the greatest thing to happen in all of my years." His want for me to be in his herd caused butterflies to fill my gut and joy to fill my eyes. I was excited to have a home but I worried if he would be a repeat in my life. I pushed the worries out of my head. "Thank you," I whispered to Moon.

[>-{Apryl}->]

I smiled at Spell, I was truly happy that she is know in the herd. I leaned closer and nuzzled Spell softly on the neck as she grazed. Thank you, I heard her voice say. " Thank you, If I had not met you I would go mad with loneliness." I said with a my mighty laugh. I looked about the place, the sky had know cleared and the sun was shining. Today was going to be beautiful.

"What would you like to do m'lady?" I asked her. All I wanted to do was spend more time with this mare.

[sassy12]

I was pleased that Moon was pleased with my presence. I smiled. The newly shining sun caught in his eyes and they seemed to glow. He is a magically beautiful creature. His words seeped into my head. What did I want to do? Be with him of course. I don't believe that that would be a sufficient answer. I take a moment thinkning. "I think that I would like to see all that is yours," I say hoping that it is not to much to ask of him.

[>-{Apryl}->]

"As you wish." I said with a smile. I slowly walked through the forest path, my hooves making large inprints in the soft forest floor. The snow was almost gone now as spring moves in through out the land. A feeling of being watched rushed over me as my gazed went up. A deer watched my every moved not to far from where we walked. I stopped and looked at the slender deer. The deer simply nodded and gracfully leaped away. With a smile on my face, I contiued to walk hoping Spell was near me.

Beauty of the forest contiued to unfold infront of me. Yet my mind wasn'r on the beauty of the forest, but the beauty of Spell. This mare had capture my heart, yet it was hard for me to say anything to her. The sun's rays shone through the trees making beautiful patterns on the forest floor.

[sassy12]

I walked with caredful steps behind Moon. I walked in the path that Moon had left, made from his hooves. Istopped when he stopped. He looked up. Iwondered what he had seen but I had not had the drive to look away from the stunning profile he was. The sun glittered on his coat. He was an illuminated angel in my eyes. Aw, what luck had been bestowed me to be in his herd. To be his was more than my worth, though, and I wonder if he will soon see that and relieve me of my place among him.

I shake away all thoughts of exile and smile gleefully at the glorious day that consumes me. I trot so that I am next to Moon. My walk is paced to match his. "This is exsquisite," I said looking at him through the wisps of bangs that shrowd my sight. I toss them across to cover my other eye. Now my view of him is clear. None could possibly be better.

[>-{Apryl}->]

I gave Spell a shy smile as she matched my pace beside me. My gaze soon went to the beautiful mare beside me. "Yes, it is." I said quietly still looking at Spell. I was truly lucky to have met such a mare like her. Yet still I wondered about her. Who was she really and what had her leave? But none of that mattered, what mattered was what was happening now. That I was with her, and she was with me. But was she truly with me? For I must say my heart had gone out to this mare. I really cared about her, but I wondered if she cared for me.

"Spell,..." I said in almost a whisper. I could feel myself freeze unsure of what to say next.

[sassy12]

I watched Moon watch me. I smiled. I liked the attention he gave me. I wondered what he was thinking when he fell silent next to me. His gaze still held mine. I hope that he isn't regretting taking me on. Was he unsure of me because he knew nothing of my past.

His calling my name interrupted my thought process. I would have been estatic if he hadn't seemed so nervous. "Yes," I asked, afraid he was going to evict me on the perfect day that had been bestowed upon us.
