Faraj trotted through his terra, looking around almost desperately to see where Oceania had got to. It had been a while since he had seen her and for a time he had not worried. His mate was strong and resourceful, able to look after herself. But now he was beginning to worry. He stopped in a clearing and let out a long, low call for her. Standing tall he pranced for a moment, then stood silent, waiting for her.

+|Not far 'way did th' belle graze, lifting 'er radiant tiara as 'is worried call reached 'er twitching sonars. 'he lifted 'er elegant knees in 'er graceful trot to reach 'im, with 'er Palomino boa arched to allow 'er flaxen banner to fall in a jagged beautiful moment with th' wind that seeped through 'er veins. Pistons seemingly soaring 'bove th' geo as 'he increased 'er speed to three-beated, with elegant grace did 'er apendages carry 'er to 'im, 'he came forth from th' middle o' th' Apple trees, curiously aware o' 'is worried expression, though 'e knew 'is motherly actions were simply th' taint o' finding true loves meaning, still 'he wondered. Though 'er 'eart burst for 'is life and th' love 'he knew they shared deeply, yet 'he knew they were meant to be, with 'is sincerity and thoughtfullness, 'is personality was strong and faithful 'til death. 'er sweet tones tainted th' air as 'he nickered back to 'im, sweet music reaching th' trees and reverberating it's melodic song back to them, with amethysts fixed unblinkingly 'pon Faraj 'he slowed 'er sleek gait 'til 'he was nearly to 'im.|+

Faraj turned at the faint rustle of a moving equine. Seeing her suddenly made his heart jump. Suddenly he felt content. He knew he should not have worried for her. Stepping to her he gave his love a small smile.
I was worried for you
he whispered, extending his mug to nuzzle her gently.
I had not seen you since the flood
he contniued, explaining his reason.

(x|Th' belle returned 'is charming smile with one o' 'er own. 'is care for 'er seemed to be stronger than any bond, and yet, still 'he could ne'er 'ave 'oped for anything better. For 'e was th' true part o' 'er soul that kept 'er alive, and allowed 'appiness to flow in 'er veins. 'er own lyrics were sent back to 'im, easy and gentle,

Thee needen't not have worried for me, I am stronger than any flood.

'he answered quietly snagging 'is tassels and pulling them sharply, orbits dancing with fire and joy.|x)

Faraj laughed slightly.
I never doubted that.
he whickered, nuzzling her. he flicked his tassels from her reach playfully and trotted around her.
I am just glad to have your form in my sight again.
he said with a slightly bashful glance at her.

+|'er sonars flickered and 'er amethysts glittered with 'is comments, a soft smile spreding 'cross 'er lovely features,

And that is where I shall always be.

'er maw extended to 'im, 'ow could 'he 'ave e'er doubted 'is love to 'er? 'ow could 'he 'ave e'er thought 'im untrustworthy? But now that did not matter for love was true, and their's was final.|+

Faraj stepped to her and nuzzled her gently, licking her cheek softly. It was finally in Oceania's blessed company that he felt safe and wanted. He knew that she could have had any stag she wanted yet it was he that she chose to spend her life with. A slow contented whickered flowed from his parted librims

+|Returning th' gentle essence o' 'is brilliant touch with th' soft nudge o' 'er own sun kissed maw, a smile fluttered 'cross 'er radiant features, 'er pools delecately gazing into 'is own with deep compassion and love, to 'er, 'e was e'erything. Without Faraj 'he would be nothing, at least not whole. Some place inside 'er 'he would know a place o' absent something, an emotion o' which 'he could ne'er fill without th' touch o' true loves 'eart.|+

+} It twas hard for 'im to imagine a life without 'er. 'he completely 'im wholey. 'e knew that 'e could not function properly without 'er by 'is side. 'e gave 'er another quick nuzzle then danced away from 'er, 'is playful side once more returning. {+

+|Playfully 'er oculars danced as 'e left 'er to return to 'is coltish mode, th' side o' 'im which delighted 'er 'eart. Cocking 'er tiara slightly 'er flaxen banner wavered as it fell 'way from 'er golden nape. Obsidian flints danced forward after 'im, slower than 'is leaving space 'tween them, 'he was ready for 'is pranks and games, 'he always was, for 'e was a mystery only 'he understood.|+

Faraj whickered as Oceania as she came towards him. He reared slightly and danced towards her on his hind pillars. striking the air he neighed and reared away from her again, racing away from her for a time. Pulling to a quick he bucked and turned to face her, cran low, forelock falling over his orbs.

+|Golden belle tossed 'er flaxen tassels in mocking annoyance, also rearing 'pon 'er hind 'pendages and striking th' sky with ashen flints. 'he landed with a supressed thud, leaving imprints o' fine hooves into it's emerald depths. Letting 'er gentle gait swing into a lope 'he followed 'im, nape arched and oculars watching 'im intently, seeing 'im stop abruptly 'he too pulled 'way from 'er comforting gait and threw 'er cranium to th' heaven's, allowing 'er banner's to sway in th' gusty winds.|+

'e snorted as 'he followed 'im. Turning to watch 'er run 'e stumbled slightly and snorted in annoyance as 'e regained 'is stance. Rearing slightly 'e called loudly before returning to the geo. 'e moved closer to Oceania and ran 'is mug over 'er boa gently, breathing in 'er soft scent.

+|Feeling 'is warm touch o'er 'er nape 'e let 'er oculars close momentarily savoring 'is scent as 'e did 'ers, opening them 'he let a smirk cross 'er features and 'he nipped 'im softly 'fore leaping 'way and bucking as 'he did in 'er younger days, allowing 'er flints to soar to th' moon and let 'er 'eart soar with th' angels. Loping a few feet 'way 'he turned sending a high pitched whinny 'cross th' land to reach 'is sonars a simple taunt o' Catch me if you can!|+

Faraj heard her taunt and raced after her, whinnying as he did so. Throwing his boa he let the wind take his tassels, pulling at them as he raced after the one he loved. Daggers cut at the soft grass as he moved easily to catch up with her elegant form. Though he still out ran him. Faraj snorted as his pillars began to ache but he refuse to allow her to win over him. Leaping forward once more he snorted and bucked slightly, giving it all he had.

+|Th' belle's easy gallop took nothing from 'er lithe body, 'he ran on as though nothing was to be cared 'bout, e'ery stride was soft 'stead o' thundering. Th' reason being for 'er fitness twas th' miles 'he 'ad run for years f'ore 'er 'eart 'ad truly found Faraj. Wandering from land to land, searching yet ne'er finding, 'til 'ere at last Faraj 'ad come to 'er and a new miracle 'ad become. Glancing 'ind 'er 'he noticed 'is body working full out, yet 'he 'ad more in store, flying 'bove th' geo geo soon become soaring, and 'he lunged forward galloping soon to be full out, seeing th' empty land 'fore 'er 'he raced towards it, straight and perfect as th' dove soars with th' 'eaven's and 'er spirit ran free, 'cept for one part which remained with th' beating o' Faraj's 'ooves and encouraged 'im to reach 'er, since 'er pace ne'er slackened.|+

At 'er encouragement 'e burst forward, determinded to catch 'er at least this once. With a neigh 'e bounded to 'er and with effort 'e soon found 'imself racing along side 'er nimble bodice. With a whicker of achievement 'e continued to pound beside 'er, each stride becoming more and more of an achievement.

+|Attentive smile and a lowering o' 'er crania a soft leap interupted 'er perfect pace inwhich now galloped faster than th' wind could fly and 'er spirirt ne'er lingered 'ind on th' baren floor, yet it ne'er left 'er golden bodice. Muscles lithe and po'erful 'er tiara bobbed with e'ery stupendous stride, 'er obsidian's pounding th' geo in a rythmic beat, 'er flaen banners th' wings to 'er joyous flight. Although 'er time to run still 'ad not lingered, 'er bodice yet to be drenched in sweat 'er pace slackened and become softer, to th' dainty lope o' which earlier 'he 'ad possessed. Amber orbits now focusing 'pon Faraj 'stead o' th' vast land 'head o' 'er.|+

Faraj raced to keep up with her pace, before slowing himself and trotting slowly behind her, content to amble behind her, and take in her beautiful form.

+|With a splendid swish o' 'er flaxen banner 'er golden tiara cocked sideways to see from th' corner o' 'er beautiful optic th' form o' Faraj increase 'is distance to 'er. With an effortless move o' sheer grace 'er left leaded lope swung 'er 'round to face 'im, and only did 'he slow 'er flawless pace once their maws nearly touched 'fore 'he whisked 'er features 'way and trotted 'round 'im once, for continueing 'er majestic pace 'side 'im.|+

Faraj kicked up his heels and danced along side her, content with her dancing with in.

(sorry a bit museless)

+Th' spirit o' 'er freed soul sang 'side 'im, none other could 'ave brought th' joy within' 'er 'eart to th' surface o' th' once condensed sea. Now th' waves crashed 'pon th' others each one a different song, which imprinted 'self deep in 'er, branded for time alone. Slender apendages lifted high, praising th' sun for it's golden rays that so 'ad blessed 'er with th' mimicking o' 'er own hue, th' speckled stars dawned 'pon 'er flints which quietly floated 'top th' earth easily, for was where 'he belonged, in th' land that 'he loved, and by th' one that 'ad siezed 'er 'eart.+

Faraj whinnied as he watched Oceania - a small smile flickering across his facade. He had no desire to leave this time or place - though he knew in the future he must. the war was brewing and even these happy times could not force that thought from his mind.

Catching 'is image in 'er optic 'he sensed th' discomfort o' 'is thoughts 'he knew perhaps 'e was considering th' war, how 'he knew it was close to uprising 'gain. Fear did plauge 'er thoughts and dreams, though 'he believed in 'er alliance and 'ad faith in 'er king, though this king was not th' true one, but th' one king that stood so close to 'er 'eart.

Faraj cast his orbs over Oceania and her obvious calm in concern with the war quelled his own fears.
How it is in the mist of such danger you are able to be so calm? he askedher, laughter in his voice, no mockery, just sheer admiration.
All his life had been plauged by the threat of the Demons, not only in this land but the land of his birth. His jounrey to these lands had begun with the hope of finding peace. And in a way he had. Defiantely not peace between the equines. but peace in his heart. A heart that once only knew tumoil now stood calm in the love of the femmora before him.
With a whicker he nipped at her tassels and blew gently in her ear.
What is it that you desire more than anything?he cooed to her, ready to make any wise of hers come true.

The enchantress floated above the lush geo beneath her ebon flints, as she danced lightly before him. Upon catching his caressing vocals in her heartily palomino auds, she smiled delecately, finding her loving grin to explain anything he would desire to know from her. Tossing alabastor tassels against the gentle breeze that manuevered it's way through the current of apple trees, she caught the glitter of the sun against her equally brilliant hue. Glittering quite marvelously it reflected the sun's mighty signifigance to bring the light into the world, to bring the joy of a new day, and to cease the night from tormenting forever. For a moment she silenced her genteel dance, and stood regally surveying him through delecate amber pools. C.ocking her tiara lightly to the side, she pondered upon his next inquiry. As though she really was considering what truly desired, when easily the vix could have replied instantly, she toiled cockily with his mind. Shifting lightly from one ivory pillar to the next golden one, she flicked her banner daintily as she stepped forward and around him, just brushing past his broad chest with it, she lumbered lazily around him, humming to herself giving him the impression that she was considering his sweet inquiry. As she continued towards his handsome features she paused next to him, reaching just a small ways skyward to whisper flirtingly into his sonar.

My desire has already been granted, for now it is always with me in my heart, no matter if we are seperated in presence.

The belle daintily touched his cheek with her alabastor tipped mug. Amber pools full of him in her heart, he could not miss her responding lyrics, for he was not a fool. He knew he held the key to her heart, and he would never let it go. Stepping lightly closer to him, she stood so near to him that she could feel the heat reverberating off of her bodice on onto his and likewise. Sighing gently, she ran her cheek across his nape until it rested souly in the midst of it, cushioned by his thick muscles beneath his hide.

the snap of a branch made him throw his banner. Through the mist the shadow of an equine stepped forward. she seemed to emit pure light, her orbs boring deep into the equines she met. faraj snorted in recognition as the fae came into full view.
Spirit he whispered - inaudiably. he snorted again, this time trying to contain his awe for the femme before him. Turning to oceania he whickered and tugged at her mane and nuzzled her cheek, obviously over affectionate.
Turning back to the fae he glanced around, searching for the stag whom she belong but Alastair was no where in sight. He smiled inspite of himself. Shaking his banners he watched her approach.

The vix snapped out of her reveree, slightly annoyed as her flaxen banners whipped as she startled. Deep hues glancing around until she caught the pelt of the belle Spirit. Deeply frustrated now, for the purpose unbeknowest even to herself, she snorts profusely. Feeling Faraj's nuzzle and tug of her tassels she drops the annoyed expression upon her features, still inside she had lit a fire that twas not yet ready to fuse itself out. The minx stepped towards the maiden and parted her kissers,

Do you need something? Or are you in the mood to interupt?

She snapped rather past her calm and insincere manner. Yet a moment ago she had been filled with someone she loved with all her heart, now she had been interrupted which was of something she did not care for.

ooc- X_X -dies-

the golden belle staarted, throwing her noble head. Her orbs narrowed at the fae's comment, she did not like being unwelcome in her own home. She shook her tassels, trying to rid herself of her anger, yet could not.
Do you feel it if necessary for rudeness to fly from your mug when gretting en equine? she snapped, tossing her tiara to a loftly height.


Faraj eyed his love curiously at her sudden change of temper, he had never seen that in her. At her words he snorted, throwing his cran out, nudging her reproachably. But with the fae's rebut he threw his head.
Ladies, that is quite enough! There will be no ill-feelings in this herd. he snorted, turning his orbs back to Oceania, he had expected more from her, the newcomers perhaps not but his mate, yes.

The belle continued to leer upon the minx, harkens pinned ragingly upon her cerebrum. Flauntingly tossing her own cranium, she matched the vixen's height. Eyeing her cautiously through narrowed visionaries. Faraj's voice snapped through her frustration and she cast her glare from Spirit to Faraj. She had yet realized that even though she showed no emotion of the war becoming, inside even the tinge of something would faze her. Which was the cause of her slashing outburst. Changing her glance from Faraj to Spirit her oculars softened slightly, though she spook no apology she sent it wittingly through her amber pools. Sighing deeply she let her tiara fall, poised without trouble upon her withers. Almost lazily resting there, now without intrest of the entire world. Glancing up at Faraj for a meer second, then her oculars were downcast once more, ashamed of her behavior she felt unbereaved of her dignity, having lashed out upon a newcomer and she, being indeed leader and mate of the land.

Faraj watched the transformation in his mate after his words and blew lovingly towards her. He knew that in these times none could be too wary, and the fire that flew from her was in a sense almost welcoming. At least she can take care of herselfhe thought nuzzling her neck before turning his attentions to the golden fae.
What brings you to our company?he inquired.


the golden fae sighed softly as Oceania calmed, she had no energy for a confrontation.
I search only for companionship. She replied softly. It has been an age since my mate, Alastor, was with me and I feel loneliness harshly these days. she said soflty, dropping her tiara to left her forelock fall over her orbs to hide their tear ridden state.

As the enchantresses calming stature slowly vanished into inexistence, her golden hue seemed to brighten along with her unmeasurable visionaries. Flaxen banners taunting the waves of the fresh scent of the breeze, her optics softened to a light shade of amber, looking contentedly upon Spirit. Moving forward in an attempt of sheer kindness and friendship, she reached out her maw nudging, her nape gently.

Don't we all...

She whispered kindly to her, understanding the exact state of mind which sh rested. Yet then she paused, thinking timidly. How foolish she had been, to make such an outburst to her such as that when she had her true love, and this fae was wandering alone. How selfish and unkind she had been. Miserably, she lowered her delecate cerebrum even more, standing to the side of Spirit in a comforting gesture of understanding.

Everything will be alright, once this war is concluded we shall all be at peace forever.

Oceania sang softly, her wisened tunes gentle. Such a song that was so delecate and pure even the doves resting in the branches of the Apple Trees could not match it's glorious contents.

spirit gave a feeble smile before stepping forward and raising the fae's tiara.
peace, is something we all wish for and pray too see. that is all we can do. the faintest trace of hope in her lyrics.
She stepped back and stood slightly in awe of the femme before her and in slight jealously of her mate. Though she loved Alastor to pieces, she could not help but wonder whether she was missing out by having a mate who was cripple. not that she saw Alastor's disability as such, it was part of him now, she could barely remember him walking before the battle.
she gave a whistful sigh and dropped her tiara to graze as the sun warmed her pelt.

faraj sighed as the tension in the air disappeared exponentially. he nipped oceania's shoulder and then too dipped his head, his stomach calling for a feeding.

Oceania felt her golden cerebrum raised from it's lowered stature. Somewhat surprised, she blinked her chocolate visionaries at the fae, then smiled effortlessly. Everyone seemed to be in such a different world, they were almost mindless in a way. Even she, who talked and wanted so badly of peace, knew that to acheive what she wanted, death would overtake the lands. But was she willing to sacrifice everything she held most dear to her heart? Everything she had worked to gain, to earn, to learn? Was she so willing to bear the burden of death upon her shoulders? For that matter, were any of them? Only when the time was now to take flight, would all of those questions be answered. For she knew, inside of her heart, she would be ready, though there was one simple thing holding her back. And that, with a glance towards him, was Faraj. How would they survive through that war? Not physically, but mentally? Would their love for each other seice? She was almost surprised at these thoughts. Never for a moment in her life had she doubted her true love, and never again would she. She loved him with every part of her heart and soul, and never would she fall away from him.

The czarina's harks swiveled upon her cranium, catching the song of Spirit in their denseness. Her tiara held comfortably upon her nape she pondered upon these words. Peace something everyone wished for, wanted for, and dreamed for. How long would it be? The answer was left unsaid, for who knew? It could be centuries before the battle at hand died? Yet she knew she would always be there to fight it. But something caught in the sound of Spirit's vocals. It was not an obvious flaw, but Oceania could sense it. There was pain, and misery. What of? She cautioned herself to perceive the answer. Would she be considered intruding into her social life? But there was an esteamed kindness in the heart of Spirit, hoping with a faint trace of it lined in her vocals she sang out again, even more gently than before.

"Something beyond peace has you troubled..."

That was all she stated, if the fae wished to elaborate she would. If not, a silence would proceed the statement and she knew, that the subject was to be held personal. Fine. She would not poke and prod her opponent until she fell to subjection. The truth would fly on it's own, it was just a matter of time for the world to catch up.

Spirit lifted her cran slighty and looked at the fae.
Beyond peace? You could say that. she said with a small smile. Her heart ached at the thoughts running through her mind. She looked towards the two equines, one content in filling his stomach and the other watching her with soft eyes.
The last time there was a battle, we sacrificed so much. Some came away unscathed and others, have had to live with the memory of that day for eternity. I just fear that next time there may be none left to remember it.
Tear threatened to flood her orbs as she the thought of losing Alastor filled her dreambox. Would she be able to cope, with the love of her life gone for ever?
