Ask Me to Race the Wind...I'll agree...{Open} « Thread Started on Nov 2, 2009, 11:46am »
The blood bay colt galloped into the Friendly Fields, he'd left his mother a year ago to get out and about on his own, Drui had done it, but he'd figured he couldn't stay away for very long, he'd been right, he'd been away from her a year and had just come back to her, and to his surprise and delight, his mother was a lead mare. She'd even offered him to be the Heir of the land at her death, and Drui knew that wasn't going to be too much longer, though his mother was still beautiful, she looked pretty bad.
That was one of the reasons Drui was in the Fields, he was thinking about whether to become the Heir of Dead Marshes or not. But he was also in the Fields, just to have a chance to run and work a little bit with his powers, because in the Fields, there wasn't much that he could do damage to...even if his powers did get out of hand a little. Stopping on a small rise Drui began to bend the Air as he ran through the pros and cons of becoming the Heir to his mother's lands.
In the end, Drui realized the pros outweighed the cons. When he went home later he'd give his mother the good news. He reared up and whinnied playfully as he bent a bit more air that went AWOL when he picked up a sound of approach. Spinning to face it the stud colt flicked his ears and looked about with his chesnut orbs to find the source, it was good that he could meet other equines here, he needed to make friends, get used to the place, and maybe find a mare to start a family with. Maybe this would be a new friend.

X. Y I N .X Who shot that arrow through your heart Who missed the crimson apple It hung heavy on the tree above your head This chaos, this calamity This garden once was perfect Give your immortality to me I’ll set you up against the stars
Yin bounced in place next to her brother, Yang, as he rested against a tree, her eyes anxious. ”Please, please, please… I won’t get lost, Yang. You know me… And… I’ll play nice, too.” Her words left her vocals in a large swish of air, as she looked pleadingly at her other half. Yang was surveying her, his green eyes watching her, judging if he should allow them to be separated. It was no lie, that when together, the two equines seemed to be in more Balanced, then when alone. The yearling filly watched, as her twin brother, and her opposite in every way, let loose a sigh, dropping his head slightly… Fine, but you better behave yourself. And be back at pacific View before nightfall. If I have to come look for your bio-toned as*, I’m not going to be pleased. Is that understood, Yin. Yin let out a happy squeal, as she nodded, nuzzled his white cheek, and took off running.
Yin was a unique being, from her personality, to her relation to her brother, to her coloring. Only being a year old, the ivory and ebony flicka had a unique view upon the world. Serene, quiet, yet holding a slight darkness with in her unique bodice, she was in ever aspect a resemblance of the ancient belief of ‘Yin.’ Her coloration was indeed an odd one, a rich white base covering her entire form. Stockings of the richest ebony flowed up her legs, almost to her chest. Her hooves a soft cream. Locks of Ebony fell in slightly wavy formations, though not long enough to trail very far down her neck, her tail only reaching about half way down her calves. But it was her façade that was the most odd. Anyone could call the rest of her looks a very light… ‘blue roan.’ But with her rich black mask, bright blue eyes, and the white half circle on her forehead, that mirrored the Yin part of the YinYang sign… It was rather obvious where she got her name from, when you look closely.
The short Akhel Teke filly ran through lands, heading out of the earth terras, where Irish Mist was letting her and her brother stay. Though only a year old, the filly knew she was beginning to feel a slight tug towards the water in the terra she lived in, the beginning of such waterpowers erupting. Of course, she still had another year to go, before he powers would actually start blossoming into their true potential. But, to her fear, and nervousness, she wondered what would happen to her, when she finally gained her powers, and if she would still be allowed to stay with her adopted mother, or if she and her brother would have to part ways with Irish. And further more, her brother didn’t show the signs of feeling the pull of water, like she felt. What if he was to be a different alliance to her. The flicka knew that with out her brother, the balanced, and controlled life she lived would shatter. They were bound, forced to remain together, because with out him, she wouldn’t be able to function right. When they say opposites attract, it goes even farther then that, with Yin and her brother Yang.
One isn’t complete… with out the other.
Yin continued her slow run, passing the water terras, where she felt the strong allure pulling at her, but she kept running, past the fire realms, even past those of air, who was finally starting to show a larger population. Yin would be lying if she said she was upset by it. Yin was a gentle soul, even if with a darker tinge to her. She couldn’t help but feel proud with the big improvements that were happening in the air nation, and the wonder that was falling upon the fact that the air nation would soon be a strong force of nature again. And it didn’t help that Yin, like her sign, had a strong love of the wild nature of the wind. Water… and Wind, they were the two main elements of the Original Yin sign, which might explain why the water filly often felt a little lost with just the water element to surround herself in. But she wasn’t complaining. Even one element is better then none. And she can still admire the wonders that came from the way air benders could work…
Yin was soon finding herself traveling easily across the Friendly Fields, her full out canter slowing down now to a more gentle trot, as her sapphire eyes glanced around with curiosity. Finally! I was in a place that would hopefully endow me with some sort of entertainment. I’d grow bored of just sitting around Pacific View with my brother. Of course, I didn’t think a head to how I was to keep my self company now. My reserved nature kept me closed off from others, slightly separated. I’m a loner by nature, just as my brother, Yang, is a creature who thrives in companionship. I glanced around slowly, my blue eyes taking in the sights, as I continued to trot. I noticed I was one of the few foals in the Friendly Fields, and felt more regret heavy my heart. I should have forced Yang to come with me. I knew I should have. My 6.3 tall form moved slowly through the lands, nervously watching around, as if a monster was soon to attack me.
At least, I was moving like that until I heard the whiney that was still had the slight high that came with the vocals of a foal. Another foal? My eyes traveled to a blood bay foal that pranced around, obviously playing with air, the way… a practicing air bender would. An Air Bender! Now there would be a way of entertainment. I started forward a step, before something stopped me. What was I thinking? I’d be no companion for anyone. I was to shy, reserved… silent. I don’t talk to strangers. I didn’t even speak to Irish Mist, until I managed to convince myself that she was no threat to me, or my brother. So why would I even head towards another foal… Because you’re lonely I sighed. ‘Twas true, I was rather lonely. With only my brother as the only other foal to keep me company, it is often hard to find someone to play with. I took a deep breath before I began to move forward again. Come on Yin. You can do it. Just approach, greet, and say your name… Approach, greet, name. Approach, greet, name I began to repeat the sentence of commands like a mantra. Finding myself moving a little faster.
My tiny hooves covered the land, as I trotted up to the hill, as the colt turned to face me. He looked older, taller then I… not that it was surprising. I was a very young thing when the war had taken place, this foal probably knew what had happened in the war. I slowed slightly, as I approached closer, only my mantra keeping me moving forward. Approach, greet, name. I could do this. Just walk up, say Hi, my name’s Yin. That’s all it took. As he spun around, his chestnut opticals searching the land, I knew he had heard me. And as I walked closer I awaited for him to catch sight of my small form. My black and ivory coloration tended to stand out in a crowd, even in a crowd of grass.
I stopped short of him, maybe a few… okay so probably five or six feet away. But in my defense. I’m still nervous here! ”Umm… H-hello. I’m-m Yin.” I stuttered out, nervously. I dare not even glance at him, keeping my gaze on the ground. Three words. That was more then I usually said when first meeting someone. Usually it was silence, nodding, or shaking of my head. Maybe this speaking thing wasn’t so bad… If only I could believe that. Yin couldn’t bring herself to say anything else, as she stood there, awkwardly. Her sapphire eyes down casted to the earth below her, as she shifted shyly. She waited, her ears perked towards him, for the colt’s words now…
Maybe, she could handle this talking thing… That’d show Yang, at the very least.

I had decided I was alone long enough, and now it was time to find some friends. I had found the path that would hopefully lead to the place I’d call “home.” It seemed lonely there, and so I struck out again, looking for others. I moved slowly, taking in the sights of the trampled-down snow, to the buck-and-bear-rubbed trees. I saw a few squirrels and the like, and I enjoyed seeing them. They reminded me of summer. Summer was a good time – a happy time of birth and when the earth turned green again.
I was lost in my thoughts when I came upon a couple others. One appeared a younger colt, and an even younger still filly. I heard her stutter her name, and I smiled. I remember when I was young-young. It had been a while ago; but I would still be considered young by any standards. I’m only two! I’m still in the stage where my legs are too thin and too long; my body too fat; but I have the beginnings of beauty, or so my mother said before I left. She told me I’d make friends easily, and that I would soon find a stallion to be my own. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves now.
Hesitantly, I took a few steps forward, hoping I wasn’t intruding on a private meeting of some sort. I looked from one to the other, and while there was a moment of silence, decided it was time enough for me to give my own name. As I spoke, a soft Irish brogue was heard, floating like a leaf in the sea.
Hello…I’m Siofra. (Pronounced SHEE-fra)
My bright eyes washed over the filly; an interesting combination of colors. I decided she was pretty. The colt was a very handsome one – his coat was red. I hadn’t seen many with his coloring, but he was handsome all the same.
I hope I’m not interrupting…?
I gave a hopeful smile. I wanted to make friends, and I didn’t want them to think I had followed either of them or something creepy. In truth, I was simply wandering and I stumbled upon them. I waited then for either of them to reply.

Drui
When his spin had stopped Dru's orbs landed on a filly, black and white...with the most unusual markings. Drui smiled as his auds picked up her stuttered sentance. Umm… H-hello. I’m-m Yin. She was nervous. Dru smiled softly her way and was just about to answer her when his orbs fell on another and he picked up her words too. Hello…I’m Siofra. I hope I’m not interrupting…? He'd just come to the friendly fields to forget his mother's death and all ready there were to others greeting him.
Turning back to the first filly Drui spoke. "Nice to meet you Yin. I'm Drui (pronounced DREW-eye), but you can call me Dru." He looked to the buckskin mare and smiled to her as well and spoke. "Nice to meet you to Siofra. the same goes for you. And no, you weren't interrupting." Friends, allies, playmates. Yes, Dru would like it here. He looked between the two fillies and waited. This could shape up to be quite the adventure. The 2 and a half year old colt smiled. Even after his mother's death things would be all right.

X. Y I N .X Who shot that arrow through your heart Who missed the crimson apple It hung heavy on the tree above your head This chaos, this calamity This garden once was perfect Give your immortality to me I’ll set you up against the stars
Not long after arriving in these new, chaotic lands, Yin had met the young bay foal, whom she’d later learn to be named Drui. Bet even as she stumbled to let out her tumbling, nervous words, the poor little bella positively jumped at the arrival of another. Her eyes widening, she turned to see a filly, quite a bit older then herself, approach now. And words tumbled from the buckskin flicka, her vocals unique, something young Yin had never heard of before. Hello… I’m Siofra. I hope I’m not interrupting...? The flicka’s black ears tipped back slightly, as she nervously switched her weight from one foot to the other. Where was her brother. He needed to be here. There was no way on earth she was supposed to be able to talk freely, if not openly towards others. The idea, and the sudden feeling of crowding evolved around the yearling bella, as she twitched her tail nervously. It appears not to be my smartest move, deciding to come her alone. Not at all. It is Yang who has had all the experience interacting with others. I prefer my solitude. Suddenly the colt was turning back to me, a smile on his face. Nice to meet you Yin. I’m Drui, but you can call me Dru. The flicka bowed her head slightly to him, before he turned towards the buckskin, speaking to her in turn.
Hesitant lyrics left the lips of the young filly, as she inclined her head, respectively, towards the older colt, and then to the older filly. To many creatures, Yin was, with out a doubt beginning to feel over-whelmed. With no prior practice at talking with others, well, the filly didn’t know what to do, how to behave. She had always been the silent, in the backgrounds, alone type creature. Finding company with herself an entertaining factor, and avoiding others like the plague. She slowly let her words seep into the air. ”Ah… Ah pleasure to meet you b-both.” Her soft vocals slid through smoothly, her voice catching slightly on the ‘both’ hinting at her not just nervousness, but the way she seemed to be ‘lost’ at the idea of talking with others of her kind. What to say now? She hadn’t the faintest idea how to make conversation. If anything, Young Yin was a creature who avoided conversations. To have a decent conversation with anyone, you have to let them in long enough, and deep enough that they can be trusted to hear your views or opinions on what ever matter you where discussing. You had to let them in, to see the true meanings behind your words. And between you and I… Yin didn’t know how to let anyone in, pardon her brother, at least. Her brother was the only creature who seemed to know just who the oddly colored filly really was. Anyone else… Well, it was as good your guess, as it was their’s about who the shy young creature was behind all the frazzled nerves.
But if one was to see just who the pretty, little bell was behind the masks she keeps tied tightly around her, and behind the walls that keep unfamiliar equines out. Well, you will see a lot of wisdom in the tiny body, as well as warm, kind, and obviously feminine soul tinged around the darker edges with an almost air of darkness. An Air that was as impossible to figure out as the femora seemed to be. Yes, this young being was indeed a rare, and ‘different’ thing. Yin soon found her voice again, speaking with a little more confidence. If Yang could talk to others, then why couldn’t she. She didn’t have to be his exact opposite in every way did she… Er, well, maybe she did, seeing hw she was Yin, and he was Yang. ”Umm, so, If I-I’m not being rude by ask-king, Might I b-be inclined to know wh-why you two have traveled to the F-Friendly Fields?” The words where more stuttered then she had meant. And she winced inwardly. Great, now they’ll think I’m a stuttering, cry baby filly. She grumbled, rather darkly, to herself. Maybe it was a bad idea, after all, to approach this colt… Dru. Or maybe, Yin could finally find away to be herself… Around the equines… that she just couldn’t figure out… Maybe.

I listened as both the colt and the filly introduced themselves. I smiled. I was quite the social butterfly lately, meeting and greeting many equines. I was hoping to make many friends throughout the lands, despite distance and ranking. I would have friends that were high-ranking, and I would have friends that held no rank. I would have friends of fire, of water, wind, and earth. At least I hoped as much. I listened to the colt – Dru – as he said I wasn’t interrupting. I smiled and turned my head to the filly – Yin, as she stuttered through a greeting. I studied her. She was a bit younger than me, so perhaps she was nervous. I gave her a warm, encouraging smile, silently telling her it was ok to talk to us; and it was ok to be nervous. We all were sometimes.
I decided to speak to her first, hoping Dru didn’t mind. I am here to explore and to make new friends. I’m new to these lands, and I want to learn more about them, about those that live here. I grinned again. There was nothing wrong with wanting to learn. Mother said that was one of my most interesting qualities. Where most foals wanted to play and sleep, I wanted to know everything. She said she didn’t understand, but she assured me it was a good thing.
My head turned to view Dru once more. How about you? I decided we should do this in a round-robin style, so we all got a turn to talk, instead of just one of us talking the whole time. I hoped that Dru would ask Yin what she was doing. My mind was racing a hundred miles an hour as I imagined the three of us being friends, and doing things together and growing up and all the things that come with that. I could barely contain my excitement as I thought of growing up and fitting into my body. My legs wouldn’t be too long, and my ears wouldn’t be too big! I giggled, and then woke from my daydream. I would have blushed if I were able to. Instead, I hoped that they hadn’t heard me. I patiently waited to see what they would say about why they were here.

His auds flicked as both the fillies spoke again, first Yin than Siofra. Ah… Ah pleasure to meet you b-both. Umm, so, If I-I’m not being rude by ask-king, Might I b-be inclined to know wh-why you two have traveled to the F-Friendly Fields? I am here to explore and to make new friends. I’m new to these lands, and I want to learn more about them, about those that live here. How about you? It was his turn to speak. Dru smiled and parted his maw.
"I wandered here to practice my Air Bending and to almost forget my mother's passing. But also to meet new friends, all of us need friends." Looking to Yin the colt smiled softly, she was nervous, Dru gave her a wide smile, catching the soft look of Siofra that said she wanted all of them to talk together. "What about you Yin? Why did you come to the Friendly Fields?" He asked and tipped his auds to her. What foal didn't want to make friends, what foal wasn't nervous when meeting new equines? So many questions.
Dru laughed inwardly as he looked about the Fields. He was determined to have at least one friend in each of the alliances. And the Fields seemed like the best place to start looking for them. He'd found two all ready, but would they be friends. He hoped so.

I could do this. See, it wasn’t that hard. Just speak, smile, nod. I must do this. It’ll be a huge self-growth for me, but it will also make my brother feel better to know that I’m working on overcoming my shyness. Yes, Yang would feel a lot better knowing that. Yin watched Dru and Siofra, as they also seemed to watch her, their words meeting her black auds, her blue orbs watching them curiousily. I am here to explore and to make new friend. I’m new to these lands, and I want to learn more about them, and those that live here. Yin nodded, hesitantly returning the older filly’s grin. How about you? The buckskin asked, turning to the colt. Yin, in turned, towards the older colt, her eyes expectant, as she remained silent. I wandered here to practice my Air Bending and to almost forget my mother’s passing. But also to meet new friends, all of us need friends. Dru gave yin a soft smile, before a larger one to the older mare, and Yin slowly felt herself relaxing more. What about you, Yin? Why did you come to the friendly fields? Yin shifted slightly, before her soft lyricals entered the air, ”Oh… umm, I came… ‘cause.. I got bored in Pacific View… where… my twin brother… and I live. I… wanted to get… out on my own… and had to promise… my brother I’d be careful… I just needed… to get away. You know?” Yin had managed to say all this with out stuttering, even if she had paused a lot, a slight blush appearing beneath the black façade. She twisted back her ebonite locks, as blue eyes smiled slightly, ”Older brothers. Not very fun.” She added, shaking her head. Yin loved her brother, it was true, but sometimes the older colt, of a three days, was just a little… ‘much.’
Yin looked first at Dru and then at Siofra, before her words came out again, ”Umm… I suppose I’m also out her to… get over my fear of talking to others. I’m… not very comfortable… around equines I don’t know. Yang is the more open of the two of us.” She admitted her default casually. Yin then let out a soft sigh, and steered the conversation elsewhere. ”So… you are an air bender, Dru? I had figured so. I have yet to find my own element, what about you, Siofra?” The flicka asked, before she finally fell quiet, having nothing more to say.

I listened as they spoke in turn, each giving their reasons to why they were here and not in the safety of a herd. Dru said he was here to get over his mother’s passing. That was so sad. I don’t know what I would have done if my mother had died. Instead, she sent me off. I knew the reason, but it still hurt. At least I knew she was ok. Poor boy. A moment passed and I realized he spoke of his element. Air bending? My eyes widened, and that silly grin came to my face again.
Air bending? That would be so exciting!
I still hadn’t come into my element yet. Perhaps I never would. I pushed the thought from my mind as I remembered what Hush told me. Maybe I was just late. I hoped that was all. My head turned towards Yin as she spoke. I giggled as she spoke of her brother. I don’t have a brother, so I guess I can’t say. I had always wanted an older sibling. And a younger one. Oh well.
Yin also spoke of being uncomfortable around others. We were all like that at times. But to always be afraid of others? I wondered if something had happened that would make her afraid of strangers. I decided not; and that she was just shy. Then she, too, spoke of elements.
I haven’t yet found my element. Hush thinks it may take more time. I’m excited to find out, though! If you could choose, which would you pick, Yin? And Dru, if you could choose, would you still choose Air?

I smiled softly as the fillies spoke each in turn. Oh… umm, I came… ‘cause.. I got bored in Pacific View… where… my twin brother… and I live. I… wanted to get… out on my own… and had to promise… my brother I’d be careful… I just needed… to get away. You know? Older brothers. Not very fun. I chuckled softly to myself, the only other that came near to being a sibling to me was Seeli. I smiled again as Yin spoke again. Umm… I suppose I’m also out her to… get over my fear of talking to others. I’m… not very comfortable… around equines I don’t know. Yang is the more open of the two of us. So… you are an air bender, Dru? I had figured so. I have yet to find my own element, what about you, Siofra?
I turned to Siofra as she spoke then. Air bending? That would be so exciting! I don’t have a brother, so I guess I can’t say. this was turning out to have been a great trip, my auds flicked as Siofra spoke again. I haven’t yet found my element. Hush thinks it may take more time. I’m excited to find out, though! If you could choose, which would you pick, Yin? And Dru, if you could choose, would you still choose Air? Now that they'd both spoken it was my turn again. I smiled as I spoke. "It always helps to come out and explore Yin, you can find an element and friends and get over fears. the only other that came close to a sibling was Seeli, a filly my mother took in before I came to this place. In response to your question Siofra, if I could have chosen my element, I think I still would have gone with Air, but all of them would be fun." I turned to Yin and smiled encouraging and waiting.

Breathe, Yin. See, you are doing… FINE. There is nothing wrong with making friends. You can do this. I was still giving myself this pep talk, but it was beginning to look a little easier to handle. I was smiling more quickly, and I had lost my stutter, though I still was a little hesitant to speak. But, I needed this! To learn to get out and make friends. It, I knew, would help me grow. And as a yearling, in the next two years, I needed to learn as much as I can, so I can be welcomed, along side my brother, as part of the large, equid world. I just hope that I won’t make a fool of myself. At least, not yet. A smile came to my muzzle, at the silly grin that came to Siofra’s face, as she spoke of how exciting it would to air bend. I wonder what element I will receive. I am certain it is water. I just, I feel such a strong pull to it. Almost as strong as the natural pull I feel to Yang, or the moon. When she spoke of not having a brother, I couldn’t help but giggle, adding in soft words, ”Consider yourself lucky… they are… annoying. Yang is so… protective. But he’s the only family I have. My parents… abandoned me, right after I was birthed.” I spoke the sad truth with not a care, as if I had stated that it was rather windy today. Why/ Because I didn’t care. They were just two souls who hadn’t been prepared for the glory that came with raising a family, and they didn’t know how special dear Yang and I were. Well, it was their problem, not mine. Never mine. And I don’t want anyone’s sympathy for being orphaned. I’m technically not anymore, now that Irish has taken my brother and I in, with her, in Pacific View. Besides, I was never alone, I always had Yang. And he would an always have me. We are, and always will be inspirable.
Then Siofra spoke about if we could have our own elements what would they be. What would I choose. I listened as Dru added his own comments, It always helps to come out and explore, Yin, you can find an element and friends and get over fears. The only other that came close to a sibling was Seeli, a filly my mother took in before I came to this place. He continued to say that he would have chosen Air, still. Yin stood thinking, before she responded softly, ”I’m not honestly sure. Umm, how can I explain this… I feel a connection to water already, but even as I feel a connection, my heart also goes out towards the air, and the temperance it creates. For me, Air or Water would be wonderful, but preferably Water. Water is the Lady, The Moon’s, element. And in the old Yin-Yang philosophy that mirror the way my brother and I behave, Yin always had a special attraction to the moon, an attraction… I more or less share. But I’m sure you are both regarding this as crazy, so I’ll be silent now.
I paused, before I spoke again, ”If you could have any element, what would you choose, Siofra? And who, might I ask, is Hush?” With that said, I soon found myself falling silent again, watching, observing, yet… volunteering to participate more easily now… a lot more easily. I felt a slight smile grow onto my kissers. Friends. I had friends now. Friends… What a wonderful notion indeed.

It was fun getting to know these two. I hoped that we would stay friends forever. I would like that. I listened to Yin as she spoke of her brother, and I giggled, too. She said he was protective and annoying…I had others in my old herd that were like that. Yin then spoke of her parents. I wrinkled my nose. How could a mother just leave her child? I would never be like that when I had kids! I’m sorry to hear that. It must have been hard.
Time for something less depressing!
I listened still as Yin spoke of the two elements she would choose if she had the choice. I nodded and smiled. I guess it made sense, if you already felt a connection to an element that you should choose it. She asked me what I would choose. I guess I hadn’t ever really thought of it. I’m not sure which one I would choose. They are all neat, and you can do great things if you practice. Like water – you can make sure nobody goes thirsty. And earth – you can grow grass in the winter and feed the hungry. With fire, you can make heat and the old, the young, and the cold would be ok. With wind, you could reach apples high up in the trees. But I think I would like fire. You can scare off predators too!
Yin asked who Hush was. I suppose I had forgotten to tell them about her! Hush is a friend of mine. She has the earth element. She can’t talk, so she uses vines to talk. It’s really neat! I liked the older mare. She was friendly and reassuring; like a mother. I wondered why she didn’t have her own foals, but I didn’t ask. I hoped this answer would suffice.

Watching the fillies and listening to each of them drew a smile onto my maw. I’m not honestly sure. Umm, how can I explain this… I feel a connection to water already, but even as I feel a connection, my heart also goes out towards the air, and the temperance it creates. For me, Air or Water would be wonderful, but preferably Water. Water is the Lady, The Moon’s, element. And in the old Yin-Yang philosophy that mirror the way my brother and I behave, Yin always had a special attraction to the moon, an attraction… I more or less share. But I’m sure you are both regarding this as crazy, so I’ll be silent now. If you could have any element, what would you choose, Siofra? And who, might I ask, is Hush?
Whomever said a colt couldn't be friends with fillies had never met fillies quite like Yin or Siofra. I smiled softly as Yin's response and question drifted into the air around us. I looked to Siofra as she started to speak then. I’m sorry to hear that. It must have been hard. I’m not sure which one I would choose. They are all neat, and you can do great things if you practice. Like water – you can make sure nobody goes thirsty. And earth – you can grow grass in the winter and feed the hungry. With fire, you can make heat and the old, the young, and the cold would be ok. With wind, you could reach apples high up in the trees. But I think I would like fire. You can scare off predators too! Hush is a friend of mine. She has the earth element. She can’t talk, so she uses vines to talk. It’s really neat!
I could imagine. I looked between them both as I spoke again. "That's pretty cool. Now I'm getting bored standing around talking. Who wants to race?!" I asked as I half reared so as not to frighten Yin again. I looked between them both as I playfully shot wisps of air past them that tugged gently on their manes and tails and I laughed a little as I looked to them again. "We have so much room to run in here in the fields." Then i fell silent, my crown drifting from one side to the other as I looked at Yin and then Siofra as I stood on the ground dancing back and forth on my daggers.

X. Y I N .X Who shot that arrow through your heart Who missed the crimson apple It hung heavy on the tree above your head This chaos, this calamity This garden once was perfect Give your immortality to me I’ll set you up against the stars
Yin was silent after her first few words about her parents, but she didn’t really care if they left her… I mean, how are you suppose to care about something like that. It’s just one of those… ya what ever things. Right? I’m sorry to hear that. It muse have been hard. Yin had to admit, it was hard, but she was thankful for Irish taking in her brother, and she. She smiled slightly at the older filly, but shook her head, ”It’s alright, I’m over it. Some equines just aren’t made to be parents. You find them often enough…” the filly said, shaking her head. But it was true, sometimes one just isn’t cut out for being a parent… But it was no use whining over something you can’t change, right? Just got to move forward. Say ‘hasta la vista’ or what ever the phrase was, and keep moving. Yin knew better then to let things in her past bring her down. Besides she had her other half, Yang, ready to catch her when ever she fell at all times, just as she had his back to the end. Sure, like any other pair of siblings, they fought. But, they also had something that many don’t have. Ever heard of the Twin Psychic Link? That’s kind of like what Yin and Yang have, only it’s more on the terms of emotions, then the whole ‘Yin gets hurt, Yang feels it,’ though that has happened before too. But regardless. Yin didn’t need her biological parents to have a family. No, the little odd colored filly had something better. She had Yang.
”Besides, all that jazz with my parent’s is in the past… I can’t help what’s happened, but I do know my brother will always have my back, and will always protect me…” And with that, she skipped right over the topic of her parents. Then Yin was speaking on her topics of the elements. I’m not the one to talk about myself, not my likes, or dislikes, anything. Only Yang can really ask me a solid question about myself, and get an answer, but I gave them a response on my choice of element regardless, because Drui had given on to me, and I didn’t want to be rude or anything. But still, it felt odd to talk about myself, and was relieved when Siofra finally became a new topic of discussion. Focus of me, I was happy… I’m not sure which one I would choose. They are all neat, and you can do great things if you practice. Like water – you can make sure nobody goes thirsty. And earth – you can grow grass in the winter and feed the hungry. With fire, you can make heat and the old, the young, and the could would be okay. With wind, you could reach apples high up in the trees. But I think I would like fire. You could scare off predators too! My eyes were opened in surprise as I listened to Siofra talk, her voice going over about how each element would be good, but it wasn’t just the way she talked that surprised me. It was the turn in her words that caught me. She was looking at each element on how it could help others. It was cool to hear someone be so selfless. It was… something many want to hear, but don’t any more… But I was glad to have heard it, even once in my life.
Yin had a slight smile on her face, ”That is really… cool, Siofra.” She commented on how Siofra deduced what she wanted for an element. But then, Yin had asked who Hush was, and got an answer about the mysterious equid. Hush is a friend of mine. She has the earth element. She can’t talk, so she uses vines to talk. It’s really neat! Yin smiled, as Drui finally spoke up. ”That’s pretty cool.”[/b] I nodded in agreement, but allowed Drui to keep talking, he had more to say. Turning my blue orbs to him, black ears swiveled forward to catch his sounds, [i]”Now I’m getting bored standing around talking Who wants to race?!” He rose into a half rear, before looking from Siofra to me, before a sudden wisp of air wrapped around, pulling at my mane and tail, and I shook my head, giggling slightly at the feeling. ”We have so much room to run in here in the fields.”
I was torn between wanting to run, and wanting to avoid that type if whose knows what, ”Er… I don’t… know…” I glanced at Drui, who looked so hopeful, dancing from one hoof to the other, that I let out a sigh, ”What do you say, Siofra? A race?” I took a step forward, turning back to Drui, before adding, ”I guess I’m game.” I stated, using a term I had picked up from my brother. Insert eye roll here, please. I nodded and trotted towards Drui, before turning to Siofra, ”Come race, Siofra, it’ll be fun!” Of course it will

All listening aside, the two decided we should race. I stared at Dru for a moment, and then at Yin, and decided that indeed, a race could not hurt. There was nothing at stake, and even if I lost, it would be ok. I took on the excitement of my friends, and soon, I was bouncing just as much as they were. And, instead of waiting for an official “ready, set, go,” I pranced up onto my hind hooves and tore off through the field. It shouldn’t be too hard for them to catch up, I wasn’t giving my all quite yet. I didn’t want to be accused of cheating!
I was doing an easy canter, laughter floating behind me, kicking up my heels and just being a child. It was beautiful to have friends – and ones that I could be myself with. We were all so very different, yet we all seemed to want the same thing – we all wanted friends from everywhere. We were so unlike the adults. We were unbiased, non-judgmental, and open-minded. We seemed to want to see the world as a better place for all; not just ourselves.
Soon, I heard the hoofbeats of my companions closing in, and I waited until they were nearly abreast of me before I kicked my speed up a notch. Now the real race would begin! We thundered on and on, three souls racing each other and the wind. My heart soared, and I hoped for nothing more than to have these friends forever!
In my joy, I didn’t notice the few blades of grass that sprung up with my every footfall. It wasn’t much, and it may not be noticeable to those not looking, but it would appear that I have finally come into my element. Had I known, I would have been more elated, and I likely could have filled a field with flowers and sunshine and all that jazz. Instead, I kept running, making sure my friends didn’t fall too far behind; and making sure I didn’t fall behind either.
