Something to see(TWIZ)

[Amria]

The long haired beauty had only just arrived in the new lands. Her bright crystal horn shinning in the setting sun, she was standing on a hill observing the land trying to decide where she wanted to go. Beauty wasn’t familiar with anything yet and was just trying to get her baring’s about her as to which way was right. Ultimately she decided to stay put and find a place to sleep for the night and then go from there once morning rolled around. She picked up a trot and moved steady down the hill hitting the ground tail carried elegantly behind her and crown tucked against her chest, she picked up a canter. Long tresses flowing behind her, finally orbs settled on a cave tucked among some overhanging trees. It was the perfect place to hide herself for the night and it reminded her of home, she was used to the ruins of a castle and the vines hanging in front of it protecting her parents herd and on top of that a thick forest kept the herd hidden, only every so often were new equines welcomed to bring a different line to the mix. She slowed to walk and sniffed the outside, no smell was coming from the cave so she preceded to enter check it over deem it safe and head back out to grab a bite to eat near the entrance. As she ate she heard a deep rumble of thunder and her crown shot up and scanned the sky seeing the dark clouds rolling in fast, she grabbed a couple mouthfuls and ducked with in the caverns, finding a nice mossy spot she lowered herself to the ground just as the sky opened up and the thunder got louder, the flashes brighter than before. She snorted and peered out between the branches watching the storm, beginning to relax she enjoyed these kinds of times, unlike some who found them eerie and scary she found the beauty within it. Shifting her pillars and weight she kicked out and laid out on her side, closing her orbs and beginning to doze.

[smear:725886]H A N S E L[/smear:3c155c] harm my sister and I will harm you twice as worse Eyes darted from place to place. Thorns quickly moved around on the top of this equine's skull Ears taking in whatever thoughts and sounds came his way. Feeling as the cool ran fell upon his bad side. Not slowly up one bit. The only scary thing that was on his mind was that he had lost his sister. Eyes darting from one place to the other. Wanting to see the sight of her come into his vision as he looked around. Stomping his dagger into the ground as he stopped. Taking another deep breath as he mumbled to himself. [smear:4b198a]"You fool your suppose to watch her."[/smear:703fd8] Thorns pinned on his head as he was mad at himself. Not even caring who as around. Sighing while he let his eyes dance around a bit more as he walked. Taking the time to take everything in the bests that he was able to. Though of course there was no way he could find her in this storm, but he would not give up. No Hansel was one that would keep on moving no matter what. His daggers continued to push as his hooves could feel as if they were slightly sinking into the ground below. Though he would pick his feet up high and move faster and faster into a trotting motion. Not allowing his body to slow up but he was going to keep going. [smear:703fd8]"GRETEL!"[/smear:4b198a] Words shouted out over the land His figure slowly as he stopped and looked to the ground. Shaking his head as he could feel the water dripping off of his body and falling to the ground below. Yes, he could feel the shaking of the thunder crashing around where he walked. Though it did not mess with his mind. He kept on standing there for a moment. Looking back up and looking all around. Taking the time to scan this place to see if he could spot her. For once he had his sister back near him he knew that he would be fine. He worried ever so much about her that it was about to make him sick. [smear:4b198a]SPEECH[/smear:703fd8]

The equine inside the cave could hear a commotion just outside the cave, besides the thunder and the rain there was screaming of a name and she was slightly confused as to who would be out in such weather and why they were screaming someones name. Blinking a few times she raised her crown and stood to her hooves shaking her pelt free of the moss and dust that had settled trotting forward she peeked her crown out to see what was going on and there in the rain she could clearly see a panicked equine frantically looking for something or someone. She stepped out all the way not caring that she was getting wet to the bone, there was someone who needed help and she was going to find out. “Excuse me sir but why are you so worried is there something you seek?” She spoke quietly yet confidently, making sure her voice carried, her tresses were clinging to every part of her frame and were getting heavier and heavier by the moment but she wasn’t a mare to complain, there were others who worse off than she was and a littler water never hurt no one. Her guard was up around this new equine she didn’t know how he was going to act, would he be hostile, kind, would he attack her thinking she had taken what he was looking for, which she had not and she didn’t need him thinking she did. She stood there in a calm and relaxed stance, noting coming off and threating or cocky in the nicest of terms she just wanted to be neutral and help if she could though she didn’t think he would take the offer and would excuse her, if he did she would just return to her cave and dry herself off and continue on in the morning.

[smear:725886]H A N S E L[/smear:3c155c] & [smear:3c155c]G R E T E L[/smear:725886] harm my sister and I will harm you twice as worse Hansel at this point was soaked and did not even care at this point in time. He was two worried about his sister at this very moment. Nothing else was on his mind no matter what. Then his eyes caught something. The shining of something ad he looked at it for a moment. Being so soaked he didn't know what was what and he thought it was his sister heading his way, but then a different face showed up. Looking over her for a moment before he looked around again. Almost ignoring the fact that another equine was walking over to him. Then her words hit his ears. Causing them to turn to her and his head to follow. Looking into her eyes as she spoke and then put his eyes to looking around again.  [smear:4b198a]"I am trying to find my sister."[/smear:703fd8] Words simply left his muzzle as he spoke over towards her. Shifting the weight under his daggers as he started to talk and walk. Looking around as trying not to be rude, but this was him. When his sister is gone for to long his eyes start to look for her and not care for the world around him. Then his eyes caught something. A figure curled up under low branches and shaking. He quickly perked his head up in the air as he realized just who it was. An without even saying a word to the mare that had come up to him. He took off towards his sister with a quick canter. Heading dropping as his pillars quickly slowed as he was close to her.  [smear:703fd8]"Oh Gretel. I am sorry. I am truly sorry."[/smear:4b198a] He spoke every so happy to see her but disappointed in himself for letting her get this way. He could see that she was cold and too cold really. Seeing her pelt shake but of course her muzzle still rose up and reached over and touched against his muzzle slowly. [smear:ad8a5d]"I am glad you are okay, Hansel."[/smear:7a4d13] Words shaky as they spoke towards him. Showing how cold she was. Though the gentle nudges of her brother did help her get up and off of the ground below. Eyes looking into her brother's as she could see the worry in his eyes, but knew that she was taken well care of. [smear:4b198a]"Come. We must find you some where to get warm."[/smear:703fd8] His eyes quickly looked around as he tried to think of where to take her. Remembering the equine that was near by and let his eyes scan to see just where she was hiding so that he could put his sister into a safe place to dry and get her warmth back again.

She shook her crown and listened as he spoke, he didn’t seem like he wanted to talk right now and she wasn’t going to push it he was clearly on a mission to find his sister. So she stood there patiently watching him scan and search, even though the rain was chilling her she still stood and let her orbs follow him as she gave one quick shake and then stopped herself she wasn’t going to show a sign of weakness and kept her orbs following him. She soon got her answer when he found a figure curled up and shaking under some branches, her breath held as he rushed to his sister and they spoke hushed words and finally got her to stand looking toward her way she stood proud and with a flash of lighting spoke and turned, it was the simple phrase “Come,” but it was more than enough to express a place to get all of them out of the rain. She pushed her way through the branches and into the cave shaking her frame to rid of the accesses water before trotting toward the large area that had been laid thick with moss and soft grasses. Beauty knew it would warm the mare instantly and this cave still held the warm spring air. Beauty whinnied and knew it would and should be enough to guide them to the place she had found, it was the perfect place and big enough for all of them and she would stand guard while they slept. When they finally entered she gestured to the large bedding area and waited for the mare to lay down, while he was dealing with his sister she stepped aside and stood by the entrance, much like a statue watching the storm, knowing very well that it easily could have claimed the life of this stallions sister. Beauty shivered at the thought and continued to watch even though she wasn’t worried this was a very hidden cave and apparently a well-kept secret for many equine who stayed before them and when she left tomorrow morning she would make sure to clear the old bedding and lay new bedding for the equines after her, she knew how this worked despite never doing it at home she had seen it done time and time again and she was going to do it for many more to come.

Hansel was a bit happier at this point. Eyes looking to his sister as she stood beside him. Feel the antlers that came from their side join together almost like hands. Taking the time to get her sister straight and then the words from the other mare drifted to his ears. Yes he was there but then again he was slightly out of it. Watching slightly as he tried to get his sister to move on. An once she was moving a bit more he could hear the kicker of the other mare drift into his thorns. Putting a bit of a smile upon his muzzle as he could tell that the mare was helping them.

"Come on, Sis. We are almost there. Just a little further."

He spoke to her as he guided her forwards. Allowing his daggers to move him on. Taking in a slow breath of air as he looked around. Head hanging low as he still thought ill of himself for leaving her and not finding her fast enough. All he wanted was her safe. An yet he seemed to fail at his job but right now he had to do it again. Feeling the soft touch of his sisters muzzle as they moved. Their eyes finding the mare and moving to her. Hansel dipped his crown as they walked in. His body moving slightly as his body stood his sister up. Then he quickly moved to where he moved away from her. Shaking his body off and quickly moved to where he laid within the caves. Eyes looking to his sister softly.

"come on."

Words soft and after saying his words she folded her legs and curled up beside him just right. Taking her head and wrapping his neck around hers. Hearing her soft thank you enter her ears. Then Hansel with his eyes only looked over towards the mare.

"Thank you. Sorry for seeming rude before. I'm Hansel. This is my sister Gretel."

Speaking as he introduced himself and his sister. He figured it was the kindest thing he could do since she was offering a home for them to rest and get warm while the rain continued to fall down to the ground.

[Amria]

The mare simply stood there, one leg cocked the others ready if needed. She heard the brother and sister duo moving around and then settling finally getting warm and dry. Her attention turned to the brother who spoke then and introduced them. She hadn’t found him rude merely in a bind. “No harm has been done, im Beauty.” She spoke and turned to watch the rain again, “you should rest I will make sure no harm comes.” She once more spoke, there was always the morning to mingle when things would be better outside and his sister would be well again. Shifting she listened to the sounds of the pair sleeping and stood watch for a few more hours before she too decided to get some sleep. She was the first one up and out of the cave the next morning, trotting off to a nearby stream to fetch a drink and wash the mud off her pillars, the rain must have stopped some time ago because most things had already dried. She stayed close to the cave dropping her crown to tare at the grass wishing she had that kind of bond with her sister but at the time it had been all competition for who would lead next and who wouldn’t. Beauty had always been the front runner and her bidding goodbye to the herd was much protested because she was supposed to lead but she had stepped away and left all to her newly reformed sister Darling. She had seen a transformation in her sister before she had left, her horn now was the brightest of golds much like hers, the two were much in the same except born at different times and their stripping and swirl were different colors. Raising her crown she reared and pawed at the air playfully, chasing after a bird and into the forest, slowing to gather the largest of leaves and fill them with water, she brought them back to the cave and set them down were the two would see, carefully and quietly leaving the cave, deciding to go back to eating nearby. She didn’t know them but wanted to be kind and helpfully after all it was who she was and she couldn’t take that part away. She took a step forward as she ate, harks dancing listening to the sounds, listening for anything threatening but nothing happened it was just peaceful and perfect in her eyes.

[smear:725886]H A N S E L[/smear:3c155c] & [smear:3c155c]G R E T E L[/smear:725886] harm my sister and I will harm you twice as worse Hansel wasn't sure of how he would repay this mare. At this point he could not think of anything so he pushed it to the back of his head and curled up close to his sister as he took in the words of the other mare. Hearing that her name was Beauty. A name for such a mare as herself but he was not in that kind of mood to describe just what he might think of this mare. Right now he had a one track mind. Shifting his weight as he laid his head close to his sister and took in her body close to his. Feeling her shaking body start to slowly stop shaking and the words of the mare's come deep into his thorns. Nodding his head towards the mare as he closed his eyes slowly.  After a while, Hansel could feel his sister start to rise up from the ground. Flickering his thorns around on his head as he lifted his head and looked up to his sister with a soft smile before raising back up and nipping at her teasingly. Shifting the weight in each of their hooves as they walked out together. Seeing the happiness upon Gretel's face put a smile upon Hansel's face. Though they were both together and happy they knew that things could happen. Taking their time to walk and get a drink before looking over towards the mare that they had met that had ended up helping them out. [smear:ad8a5d]"Thank you again."[/smear:7a4d13] Gretel spoke as she walked to the mare. Feling her brother's antlers hook onto hers as they stopped and watched the mare. Unsure of just what this mare was going to even say or do. [smear:4b198a]Hansel[/smear:703fd8] [smear:ad8a5d]GRETEL[/smear:7a4d13]

The mare heard hoof falls and then a voice and turned around to face the two, a proud stature upon her frame but soon relaxed, she was so used to having to have her chest out, head raised, tail not to high but high and to have her forelock and mane a certain way. She was used to her parents servants fussing over her to make sure everything was just right, not a single thing could be out of place, that was the worst part and one of the many reasons she had decided to give it all up. “Really it was no fuss guess its just a part of who I am to help and to step up when needed.” She spoke quietly, turning so the sun wasn’t reflecting off her horn so much, she had often been told on her journeys that it had a tendency to be blinding but she didn’t think so, then again what did she know. “Did you sleep well?” Beauty questioned, cocking her hind hoof relaxing even more in the company of these two, she noted the antlers that grew from the shoulder and the way they connected almost seemed like hands, from that alone she knew the two were very close and he must be her protector in ways, their coat coloring was also unique in its self. It was hard to tell what they had been through and how they had come about these lands, but she was sure she would maybe eventually find out their story just like they may very well find out her own, which wasn’t anything special just a hidden group of equines with strange crystal horns that grew out of their forehead oh and a dash of zebra if you happened to come from the king. Shaking her crown she smiled, “Sorry got lost in thought how did you guys come about these lands.” She spoke once more waiting.

[smear:725886]H A N S E L[/smear:3c155c] & [smear:3c155c]G R E T E L[/smear:725886] harm my sister and I will harm you twice as worse Gretel could see by the looks of this mare that she is one of those higher up equines that roam through these lands, but she also could feel the bit of tension  that was coming off the brother that stood by her side. He could tell within his guts that this mare at first was trying to put herself higher up and they did not get that since they kind of wandered at their own pace together and no herd. It was just on thing that they could see since they were not herd bound like others. Shaking the thoughts away as the mare spoke and then even asked a question. Dipping their heads and then words started to come from Hansel's muzzle. [smear:4b198a]"Yes we did. I know that she needed it more though."[/smear:703fd8] No his words were not harsh just right to the point. Shifting his weight as he felt his sister closer to him. Taking a moment to look around as his sister did the same on the other side. Making sure that no other equine was coming near them. With Gretel not being able to see well out of one eye. Things made Hansel more on edge, but when the words of this mare known as Beauty entered their ears. They turned and looked over towards where she stood. Taking in her question and registering it into their minds and before Hansel could speak. Gretel started to form words to speak towards this mare instead of her protective brother. [smear:ad8a5d]"Well, we travel from place to place and this was our first time here and I guess the storm kind of separated us. What about yourself?"[/smear:7a4d13] She asked towards the mare. Returning the question to see just why she was here and maybe just a piece of her so that Hansel knew whether to judge this mare as a good mare to be around or to be careful next time they were to run into her.

Beauty shifted her weight and scanned the lands just like the others did thinking that there was something she had missed, she was on edge, traveling by yourself did that. She didn’t know if some mean stallion was going to jump out and take advantage of her and leave her battered and broken. She listened carefully as they spoke and then smiled and nodded to be respectful before sharing her own, “I left my hidden herd and gave it all up and to my sister, I was supposed to rule because they didn’t find her fitting, she was a bit um dark when she was born she even went as far as to attack me but only left a scar on my neck and that’s when she was sent to be reformed in ways I guess, that’s when I got sick of the fussing and primping I had to walk a certain way my mane had to be a certain way you get the picture so I left and end up here.” She smiled and relaxed more in front of the two but still kept enough tension in case she had to defend her backside and she really did mean that, she wasn’t going to allow any stallion to touch her rump, even if it meant he killed her first. Beauty was picking up in the uneasy tension of the two and quite frankly it kind of worried her, “I don’t mean to come off like a snob or unfriendly im just getting over the brainwashing and im uneasy kind of sucks traveling alone.” She spoke quietly, she didn’t know how much more relaxed she could get, without giving up the protection she was holding for herself against unforeseen things out there. Beauty bowed to the duo and stood shaking her frame off and cocking her hind hoof again, lazily flicking her tail waiting.

[smear:725886]H A N S E L[/smear:3c155c] & [smear:3c155c]G R E T E L[/smear:725886] harm my sister and I will harm you twice as worse Gretel knew how her brother was at any point. Yes she did have a bit of a disadvantage, but she never got that over the things she has done in her past times with Hansel. An she knew just why he was getting so defensive and just knew not to get in his way just incase he was right for some reason. Then her thorns perked forwards as she heard words coming and then reached over to make her brother listen to her words also. [smear:4b198a]"Never heard of a royal horse wanting to leave her herd for that even though I can get the getting attacked thing, but don't all royals seem to do that to show who is boss?"[/smear:703fd8] He replied even though he got that look from his sister that if Beauty wasn't there he would get smacked right upside the head. Then their ears caught the words from the mare again. Seeing that she was just getting use to things of being alone and not being waited hand and foot. Kind of making Hansel laughing inside though he did not do anything when his sister reached over and nipped his neck as if to shut him up. Then they looked back over towards her as she watched her bow towards them. [smear:1d8a5d]"Oh it is okay. Just don't mind my brother. It's the fact I can barely see out of one eye is why he is this way. Can't help but love him for that."[/smear:7a4d13] Hansel could not help but slightly smile at his sister's words as he kind of shut up and let his head drop upon her withers as he let the two girls talk and him kind of keep watch for them.

Beauty shook her head at his words, “My herd is different we only attack and fight if needed other than that its founded on loyal trust and kindness, each horse is born with a different colored crystal horn, you know your duty from day one, like royal is gold and warriors are red it’s a bit odd if you ask me and yes they do change if you move up in the ranks I guess though I never have seen it except in my sisters case.” She smiled, “but you do get annoyed of it all I couldn’t do anything without a guard, dates with potential suitors were always awkward.” She laughed and listened as his sister spoke next, “Oh he’s fine makes me a little nervous but fine like I said never really had the chance to talk to colts unless it was a needed and b supervised.” She shook her crown but kept a smile on her features, scanning the lands again. “Do you guys know anything about these lands? Like what it has to offer and such?” She questioned again wonder if they had been here a bit longer then she had or if they had only arrived too. Beauty still couldn’t help but notice how handsome Hansel was and she had never quite had any thought or feelings like this so it was all new to her and it kind of scared her. She shifted and looked to the water again and then to the rising summer sun which was making it warmer and warmer, “Would you two like to go for a swim? Today would be a nice day for it.” She spoke with a smile motioning to the slow moving river that they had already been to before for a nice drinking this morning, she also didn’t want the time to end just yet with the duo it had been the most interaction she had gotten sense she had left.

[smear:725886]H A N S E L[/smear:3c155c] & [smear:3c155c]G R E T E L[/smear:725886] harm my sister and I will harm you twice as worse Hansel found himself looking around for only a moment before his eyes fell over towards the mare as she spoke of her herd she had come from. Shifting his weight as he relaxed himself and watched him as she spoke about the different horns and the colors that they meant. Smiling as he almost wanted to make a joke but of course he kind of held back his tongue while listening towards the sound of the mare's voice. [smear:4b198a]"Hear that Gretel. The horns of their faces change. Though what color will it change now since you are a loner and roam around by yourself?"[/smear:703fd8] Words questioned her as he sifted the weight under his daggers. Flickering his banner towards his sister as he heard the sounds of pest trying to bother her. Taking in a deep breath of air before relaxing a bit more than before. Laughing slightly as he was surprised that he made someone nervous. It has never happened before until now, but that never truly bothered him if anyone thought that way. It is just how he was. [smear:ad8a5d]"Well, that might be a good thing since some of them like to be hard headed."[/smear:7a4d13] She laughed as she looked over to her brother as she nudged him playfully. Then looked back over towards the mare as she started to speak again. Asking them if they new anything about this place or what there was about this place that it might have to offer them. An they just looked at each other and slightly shrugged their shoulders as they looked over towards her. [smear:703fd8]"Nope. We don't know much about this place. Were a bit new here. You could say this is the first place we have walked to."[/smear:4b198a] Hansel replied to the mare in a calm manner. Watching her carefully as she seemed to exam him but all he could do was puff out his chest a bit but not in a noticeable way before he felt a nip from Gretel upon his shoulder as he almost drifted off. Listening as she asked if they wanted to go swim. An Gretel could not let her brother say no or didn't even speak. She just forced her brother to turn with her and they quickly moved towards the water. Sending water every where as they charged into the water.

She didn’t like how he found her herd humorous, especially their horns. She didn’t answer his question just got quiet and listened as they spoke and merely nodded, turning and walking to the lazy river, way behind the two as they charged in and sent water everywhere. Her head was lowered, letting her forelock fall over the horn on her face. Wishing now that she could just break it off and never have to deal with it again, she knew her color wouldn’t change it would stay the same but he didn’t need to know that because of his attitude. Beauty didn’t stop when she got to the shore just continued to walk until she could no longer touch and started swimming, dipping below the surface and popping back up, making sure the god awful thing stayed hidden. Exiting she shook her frame but not all the way off, allowing the water to drip to the ground as she dipped her crown and began to eat the lush sweeter grass around the river, rump toward the water and the duo, she knew it might have come off rude but right now she was hurt and didn’t want to face the stud known as Hansel, she would just let them play in the water and continue to be their pair, two peas in a pod whatever they might be and she would stick the shores, letting the wind cool the water on her frame and send little chills across her frame. She turned slightly and ripped at the grass, she could see them and every so often feel a splash or two of accidently water that wasn’t meant for her, hoof raised to smack her belly as a pest tried to land there but she wasn’t going to let it, she raised her crown briefly to scan and then her orbs settled on an undisturbed piece of water to watch while she contemplated where she was going to go next.
