Never Say Never (Sohalia)

[sequana]

I was walking along, my dappled buckskin coat shone under the moon in the newly spring sky. I snorted and tossed my crown I was feeling grate I had not had an attack in awhile and I was feeling like maybe they had again, but then I had to be prepared for anything they could hit at anytime and if bad enough could constrict my airway muscles and I could suffocate to my own death. I shook my crown at this thought, I had a wonderful look on this, I always had the same outlook on it sense I was a little foal.

I walked through tree after tree and then I saw a stream, I snorted and walked toward it but as I did so, my frame buckled and I hit the ground, a trans like state washed over me and little whinnies left my kissers, I tried to hold them in, I succeed some what, I laid there I felt like completely crap right now and I was weak all the better for some one to come out and attack me.

The attack lasted an hour, once complete I could not stand and could not move, I simply laid there waiting for whatever happened and I hoped I would be staying around fro awhile seeing I had just survived another attack there for I have gained another day, I snorted and let a weak call leave my kissers hoping someone would here it and come and keep her company.

I moved out of my new home, Snowgum Valley. What a wonderful place that I thought that it was. Then there was Wooden. He must have been the tallest horse Ive ever seen, but he was like a giant teddy bear that you slepted with and told all your secrets to knowing that your teddy would keep you safe. Indeed I has afraid of many things. But many didn't understand me, my family left me for die because they thought I was to weak to live after my mothers death, but here I was proofing them wrong. I want to say it was my mustang blood keeping me going, keeping me alive. I didn't think that it was my dark genes in my red blood. I hated my dark blood, I hated darks. I had chosen the path of goodness, the path of the lights.

I let my midnight limbs brings me into the Brook as I wanted to discover this land of Midnight Acres more. But it was then my sentinels started to flicker. I heard something, I could feel my vibe began to change as I started to become afraid at the noise I heard. It sounded like someone in pain. What if it was a wolf attacking someone. I then felt my heart began to pump faster inside my heart at the thought. But then I heard it again. I then knew that someone was in pain. But should I go or run off like the coward I always have been.

I then wanted to become brave. I moved forth and in a distance I notice a buckskin mare laiding under a large timber. I let my limbs carry me to her side while I began to speak toward her from a distance just incase if she was a dark and would attack me. Are you okay? Is there anything I could do to help you? I then moved a few steps forward toward her waiting to see how she would react toward me.

I lifted my crown off the ground, I shook it gently but I made no attempt to stand, it was too soon. I snorted with annoyance I hated it, theses attacks were so irritating. I shook my crown again and laid my harks flat against but soon pricked them forward with the sound of hooves, grate just what I wanted right now, it most likely was some dark come to rip my hide to pieces. I sighed I figured why not if the really thought it was my time then go ahead.

But to my surprise it was a light, she had a scent upon her, I knew she had a home, one of us was lucky. You can come closer and afraid there is nothing you can do besides keep me company. I smiled kindly towards her, my weak body could do nothing else. Holding my crown up got tiring after awhile so I lowered it to the ground again.

So tell me were do you come from and what is it like there? I sighed at least I had someone to talk to, my frame trembled just a bit, thoughts of how I was suppose to defend myself against, predators and darks raced through my mind but I was going to take this in stride. Would you mine also telling me a little about yourself, I will also tell you a bit about myself and why you have found me like this. I snorted and a tiny sigh left my kissers as I waited for her vocals.

I let my sentinels flickers while I listen for any other sounds that might be lurking about, but there was nothing but the sounds of our breathing. It was then my copper lanterns notice the soft smile that she let upon her buckskin mug. I felt a rush of relief rush over my midnight bodice. I now knew she was friendly and wasn't a curl dark. I lower my cerebrum while I gave off a soft snort toward the earth, copper lanterns watches the dust I forced into the air. Should I go over toward her to keep her company. I was afraid of everything that moved. But what else did I have to do.

I let my slender limbs brings me over toward her side. I lower my yearling bodice toward the earth to be on her level so she didn't have to look up toward me. I then heard her soft words toward me. She seemed very friendly and was glad to find someone to talk to. I just a slight smile form upon my midnight mug while I listen to more of her words. Then after all her words was spoke it was my turn to speak. I let my words come out friendly toward her while my midnight mug parted to talk. I'm Podage and I'm new to Mightnight Acres. But I just found a home with Wooden in Snowgum Valley and the land is nice. I love the snowgum tree. What about you? Do you have a home? Family? Friends? I then took a slight breath while I began to tell her a little about myself, but how could I do that? Well I'm a light, but I came from a dark herd, my mother died and the rest of the herd left me for died. I thought that wasn't fair, so I took the path of the lights. But I'm afraid of everything that moves or so it seems. I then extend my boa outward toward her while I touched her buckskin mug softly as if to tell her I will stay as long she wanted me too.

Quietly I waited for her lyrics, wail waiting I repositioned myself so I was more comfortable but it took a lot out of me just to do that. I snorted, at least I could see her, the last couple of nights the moon had hid behind the clouds and it made the lands dark and hard to see were you happened to be going. Here lyrics finally hit me. at first it frightened me a bit that she had been born in a dark herd, but she quickly cleared it up by saying she had followed the lights as soon as her herd left her.

Podage I have no home right now, at one point I did have a home, it was quite a lovely little land, I never got to really know the lands all to well seeing soon there after the king was challenged. I have always followed the lights sense I was born, my parents passed this disease onto me, it effects my muscles and cause me to be weak afterward, you happened to stumble upon me right after I had this attack, this by far was not my worse one, I have almost died from this.

I stopped and gave her a smile, she could ask all the questions she wanted to ask and I would try and answer them, I myself did not know all the answer. I sighed and lifted my crown and shook it laying my tassels flat, she was a sweet little fea and it would never strike me that at one point she was a dark. I looked back toward her and waited for her lyrics yet again.

I let my midnight sentinels flickers while I listen to her sound waves that she spoke toward me. So this mare was homeless, but she hasn't always been like that. She once had a home of her very on. I always wanted a home, a place to be loved. I knew I had a home, but my feelings for Wooden most likely be nothing. In other words, I never could see myself loving him as a true love. If I loved him, ever, it would be like a father and daughter type of love. But I knew the day would come where I would find my true love. I could only hope that he would be the type that was in the fairy tale stories. I then began to think about this mare. In a way, my heart went out to her, having attack that might cause her death. That to me was upsetting itself, knowing the unknown from a attack. But in the end, we all really didn't know when our death will come, nor do we know what will be the cause of it.

I moved closer toward the dapple buckskin mare as if to comfort her, but I knew there was little that I could do to help. But I would stay and chat. I believe that it was good making new friends. I then began to speak toward her, my voice coming out friendly once more. Whats your name? I'm sorry that you have these attacks. I wish there was more that I could to help. Could you tell me about your old home? Did he love you? I was like a little kid now, waiting to hear the words that she might speak toward me, telling me about her old home.

I was still young only four and at anytime I could die, my attacks had become more frequent and sever and I knew time was ticking, I snorted and raised my crown to shake it, trying to rid of the thoughts I was having, but every thing I thought was true and I knew it and so did my dead family. I sighed and pricked my harks toward her, I listened to her soft easy lyrics the made me relax and that’s what I need right now to relax.

I had not known him that long so I did not know if he had loved me, it would remain a mystery to me, lots of questions to answer but I will do my best and there is nothing anyone can do to easy the attacks they are coming more then the use to and they are much more sever and I know my time is coming but anyway, lets start with the land it was a hidden land it was safe I felt safe there, it was in between to hills, there was high ground and a lower ground that was always filled with water and that’s all I can remember seeing I was not there that long, and to your other question, I cant answer that, I don’t think he loved me, I think I was another mare and I really hate saying that but I have to say it sometime I guess and my name my dear is Soft Kisses In The Moonlight but don’t call me my full name call me Moonlight.

I sighed quietly to myself, trying to think of a question to ask her but other thoughts were clouding my mind, [color=white]Will you describe your home lands and does he love you?[/b] I asked her same question only differences is she was in the hot spot and she had to answer the question, I lowered my crown again waiting for her lyrics.[/size]

I listen to the words that she had spoken towards me. I lower my cerebrum while my copper lanterns looked at a brown cricket that jumped in the tall grass blades near my front limb. I couldn't look her in her eye right now for some odd reason. I guess I was afraid once again. This mare had thinking about my own death. I could feel a shiver run up my spine while I was somewhat glad that I was me for once. I had no sickness or disorders of no types that I knew off, the only thing that I knew I was afraid of many things. But I was somewhat glad this mare had me thinking about this. It was real and everyone would die somewhat. It was just the matter of who goes first and who would they leave behind.

I then listen to her words towards me while I began to picture her old land in my mind, but I couldn't. Then I knew how I put her on the spot as she did the same in return. If I could blush, I would be looking like a small child. I then began to think of what to tell her, wanting to choose my words more careful trying not to put her on the spot again. I bet the land was wonderful. The land that I live in is called Snowgum Valley. Its beautiful there. Theres this large snowgum tree near a pond that I love to spend my time. About Wooden I believe I would never love him. If I ever did it would be like a father figure. He let me live in his lands as long as I like. I was afraid of his size at first. I then began to think of her words that she spoke before. I couldn't believe that someone would think Moonlight was just another mare. She was the first one I really talked too since I came to this land. To be already she was so much more than that. She was becoming a friend. I then extended out while I lipped at her long tangle mane softly. I then let my words began to speak towards her once more. I don't understand stallions, cause they are by mares all the time they don't see the inter beauty. Your not just some mare Moonlight. Please don't think that. I don't know much, but I'm sure about this. I then let a slight smile form upon my midnight mug waiting for her next words.

[sequana]

Her easy lyrics soon there after came but before hand she did a lot of thinking, I think I got her thinking about death which made me sorry that I had done so but she soon came around and the look that she understood that every horse died at there own times and each day mine came closer. I pricked my harks and listened to her, her home sounded beautiful and she knew more about her home then I had of my old home. I nodded my cranium.

We seemed to be forming a friendship one that would hopefully never be broken and I hoped that when I passed on she would still remember me. Once again I shook my crown ridding of thoughts, your home lands sound beautiful and I am just some mare, its hard for you to understand now but I got no porpoise in this world, I want to have a family and some one who loves me for who I am, and even if I were to pass this horrible thing on I would still love my foal and help him or her get through it like my parents helped me and I would want him to love the foal no matter what. I went quiet staring past her towards the water, but her nibbling on my mane brought me back, and you are right about one thing stallions I don’t understand them ether and I hope before I die my dream comes true. I

stared past her again, the clock was ticking for me. for me it was a race against the clock to complete everything before I passed on and some how I would do it, with in her lyrics something had made sense stallions do not see a mares inter beauty they treat them as dolls a toys and I hoped that one day she would find the right one, I quietly waited.

I let my copper lanterns scan over her weak frame while I let out a slight sigh. I was beginning to feel the sun rays beating down upon my midnight frame which stated that it was now summer from the heat that it gave to the world. I believe that this summer heat wouldn't be to friendly upon us. But I hope that Moonlight would be strong enough to make it. But listening to the words that she spoke towards me let a slight tear form in the corner of my copper lantern. Then it began to run down my cheek and hit the earth leaving a wet spot on the earths soil. I then looked at Midnight while I cocked my cerebrum slightly at her. How could she now believe that she didn't have a reason here on the earth. I thought everyone did. But it was the tone of her voice and her words that made me feel sad. I wish that there was something that I could do to help her make her dreams come true. I mean she didn't ask for much, just to be loved and have a nice stallion and a family of her own. I knew what she meant about having a family of her own. I was going on 7 months old and I seen my mother die infront of me and then my father and the rest of my family left me for died. I then let out another slight sigh while I began to speak towards her. My voice more friendly than the last time. Everyone has a reason to be here Midnight. We just haven't found ours yet. I also wish that I could help you find a family to make your dreams come true. But I'm not good at that. I seen my mother die infront of my eyes and my father and the rest of the herd thought I was weak from her death and being young. So they also left my to die at my mothers limp side. I looked down from her lanterns and looked at the grass blades that grew looking at there detail. I could feel more tears flow down my cheek while I let out a slight sniff. I then look back up towards her. But little did they know I'm strong enough and your strong too. I believe in you Moonlight. I spoke the truth about this dapple mare. I already bonded with her and she was the first that I open up too since ive been in the lands of Midnight Acres.

I quietly listened to her lyrics, thinking all the more. After our chat I would go to the claiming grounds and try to find a home, a place I could fell safe and live in peace. I snorted and flicked my harks back and forth catching sounds, none of which sounded dangerous. I was not quite ready to stand, now don’t fret to much over me, I will eventually find a home and my place, I think after im good and ready to I will make my way back to the claiming grounds.

I smiled kindly at her, she was a sweet mare. I was happy that she had come across me instead of some other soul, one with dark thoughts, they made me shudder. Im sorry to here about your past no one should have left you for death I know you will have a great life now and you have nothing to worry about, and I also believe in you as well. I gave her another smile and my dapple frame shook with a shiver, I reached out and touched her shoulder.

Well im thinking im about ready to stand, we shall see about that. I smiled and raised my crown, my front pillars extended in front of me and I pushed my frame off the ground, a little shaky at first but I was fine. Now then that’s how you do it. I gave a small chuckle, my side was sore and numb. Almost like a tingly feeling running through my side. I quietly waited for what she was going to say next.

I let my midnight flesh flinch while I felt her mug upon me. But it was a good way kind. I then began to let my sentinels flickers while I heard the words that she spoken towards me. So she was going out to chase her dreams even through that she wasn't in that best of health. I must said I had to look up to this mare, she was a great remodel. She wasn't in that best of health and knowing she was about to check out of this world soon, but she wasn't going to give up on herself, nor what she wanted. It was then I looked at her friendly smile towards me while I gave one in return to her. I heard the words that follow. I didn't have much to say and the only thing that I could find to say was thank you. Thank You

Then after a few seconds of silents I then began to watch her while she began to stand up. I then let my midnight bodice stand as well while I stood beside her, letting her use me as a balance if she needed one. I then heard the next words that she spoke towards me while I watched her shaky bodice get up from the earth. I then seen that she could stand on her own while I backed off a little. I then began to speak towards her. I wish you luck Moonlight and I'm glad to met you. I'm sure after this we will be meeting again. I then waited to see if she was okay or not.
