Sweet Persephone

[*~Secret Angel*~]

Athena is my twin. We both share that same blue roan coat and almost the same persona and taste in stallions. My sister and I are the youngest of us four sisters that migrated from Greece.

Such a beautiful place I have come acrossed. I never had seen so much green! Where I lived it was hot and desert like. I am still shedding my winter rags from the migration all winter through the snowy mountians.

I now look for a stallion to sweep me off of my feet. I am looking for love like my twin... however who would want a mare like me? I am quiet... almost too quiet.

I pulled my feet up in a graceful trot and tried to find a place to rest easily through this storm. I had to find somewhere quiet too where Icouldn' hear thunder or see lightning... I am very skittish.

Storm's Fury

Storm had cantered out of his land by the stormy sea, wishing to find mares. He caught himself, no...he did not just want mares, he wanted the mare, the one to fall in love with. He snorted and shook his head, wondering if he was odd to want such a thing.

His grulla coat flashed as he galloped on, his well muscled body flashing, his odd colored coat sparkled. He was not paying attention, but then he saw a tree down in the path he was on. He smiled and lunged into a faster speed, then when he approached it, he leapt, tucked his legs underneath him and soared over the log, which was quite large.

He landed on the other side and slid to a stop, looking back in satisfaction. He whinnied then turned and ran once again. The storm made him shiver, but not in a bad way. He loved the electricity that came with these storm's. They made him want to run and buck, they brought out the colt in him, though he was over 4 years old. He came out of the forest and into a meadow, there he stopped very suddenly, and his breath stilled.

He stared, and shook his mane, then pranced on his zebra striped legs. He arched his neck and smiled at a blue roan mare, who was asleep, out of the storm. He smiled, then looked up at the sky, the rain starting to patter on the ground.

He nickered, but it was lost in the rain that had started to come down harder. He walked up to the mare, his oddly colored coat looked black when it was wet. He dipped his head down and touched the mare on the neck with his muzzle, then stood waiting for her to awaken.

I was lost in my calm meditation... though I was not sleeping. I could sense something bantering around me but I couldn't be sure and I didn't want to know.

My ears moved to the side of my skull lazily. My body was completely relaxed however when the cold rain hit I jumped a little bit. Then a clash of thunder rolled ... just a low rumble was all it took to get my heart racing and my legs running. I pinned back my ears now at the thunder... and the sounds of the bantering going on around me.

Back home it was so quiet and my sisters never spoke to loudly infornt of me or near me... for they knew I would run away. When I ran away I usually got caught in a sticky situation.

I felt something push into my neck. My neck pulled up afraid my eyes snapped open to reveal a strange mediterrainian color to my eyes.I got up quickly as I let out a squeal and reared up on my back legs and cantered quickly to a large redwood tree to hide behind... I was shaking a lot from the shock.

Storm's Fury

Storm had been standing, relaxed, when suddenly, the mare jumped up, reared and ran away. he jerked his head up and snorted, he was surprised. He jumped, for she had startled him greatly.

He watched her run away, his ears pricked forward, his nostrils flared. he took a step hesitantly and then started to walk toward the beautiful Blue Roan mare. He walked somewhat close and dipped his head to look into her eyes.

He smiled, trying to help her be calm, "Hello." He said it softly, his eyes gentle and soft. Something told him that this mare was scared of him. He took a step closer, but saw her draw back.

He sighed and then stood still, glancing at the beautiful mare. He nodded his head and gave her an encouraging smile. It was not the best time, the rain pouring down, the lightning flashing and the thunder rumbling.

"Are you alright miss?" "I did not mean to startle you, I am sorry if I did." He shook his mane and then added, "My name is Storm's Fury, may I ask yours?" She was beautiful, and he could not stop looking at her, though the rain had soaked her coat.

I was still vibrating hard by the time the stallion approached me fully. Even then I was a bit skittish... I had moved a little to the other side of the trunk.

I could feel my heart beating fast and hard against my chest. I pricked my ears a few times unsure.

"Yes I am okay." I said in my best english. I was from Greece so things I say probably don't make sense to other horses unless they really listen.

"I am Persephone." I said quietly ... almost inaudible... which is just part of my nature. My blue eyes looked at the ground skittishly... I could feel my head shake hard when I brought it to the groun to lip at some grasses that had grown at the base of the tree.

Storm's Fury

Storm smiled encouragingly at Persephone, who was quite and beautiful. He reached out to nuzzle her, but then thought better of it...he did not want her to become even more scared.

"Persephone...what a beautiful name." He cocked his head, listening to her as she spoke quietly, and his heart melted to her at that moment.

He watched her soft, gentle movements and a smile came onto his lips. He dipped his head and smiled once again at her, "Persephone, I would like you to join my herd." "I live where there is a gentle lapping of the sea, with beautiful inland for a place to have a herd."

He glanced at her, hoping that she would accept, "Would you come with me?"

[*~Secret Angel*~]

"Thank you" she said softly and almost out of breath by the time her trembling hides had calmed down enough for her. Her shaky head pulled to the ground lipping at the grasses and yet she couldn't eat anything.

She flicked her tail brushing softly against her heels. A home was what she was offered... she hadn't had a home in so long she forgot what it felt like. Her heart strings felt like they were being pulled non violently.

"Aye" the mare said. She cautiously and very nervously turned around in a tight circle to meet the stallions face. She looked up towards the stallion with her wild medeterranian eyes.

Storm's Fury

Storm smiled at Persephone as she spoke, and his eyes lit up. He nuzzled her very softly, his eyes smiled at her. He inhailed a huge breathe, then glanced at the sky. The rain was slacking off, though it looked like it would continue.
He smiled, watching her intently. He snorted, his eyes soft. He shook his mane, ridding it of the water, then smiled again. "Shall we go to my land?"

occ: sorry no muse, and his land is the only claimed beach land, Stormy seas.
