NYX
before i even realize the ride i'm on, baby i'm long gone

[/size][/font]

the buckskin mare was rather bored, as equines with spacey, ADD type minds usually were. Amusement was no problem; such an imaginative mare such as Nyx could find entertainment in almost anything. She figured that, if anything, excitement could be found in the claiming grounds. A few nice stallions, and maybe, if she was lucky, she could possibly find a home. But Nyx wasn‘t really here hoping to find a new home, since spunky mares usually had fun just roving the lands and being general outcasts to society, but instead to find some action, in the form of the waterfall she could hear through the forest. Oh what great fun! Waterfalls have always been a fixation for the mangalarga mare, since she was raised in a desert, arid land with no waterfalls for as far as the eye could see. And since moving residence to midnight acres, she had found that water was in rather great abundance, and was determined to have about as much fun in it as she’d missed growing up. The falling water would feel absolutely, refreshingly amazing on her dusty, sandy pelt.

She found herself hurrying toward the sound of rushing water, stopping every few strides to much at a particularly tasty looking blade of grass -most of this vegetation was unfamiliar, and, thus, a potential experiment in curiosity- so the juicy looking carpet of greenery was alien to the desert-raised Nyx. Eventually, she reached the clearing where the waterfall was situated, a monstrous thing that looked positively dangerous, and adrenaline invoking, especially with the spring runoff swelling the already monstrous quantity of water into a mammoth, pulsing, freefalling river of delicious H₂0. Squealing with excitement, and a measure of fear mixed in with the eager burst of sound, she launched herself into the basin that had formed at the base of the falls. The water, ah, the water was so refreshingly cold that Nyx found it hard to believe that she had existed her whole three years without every coming into such contact with the lovely element that was so absent in desert landscape. It was heavenly, and the young mare was completely lost in the ecstasy of swimming under the very edges of the pounding water, feeling the rush of it soaking her to the bone. [/center]

- The rain falls on my windows and a coldness runs through my soul,

Oh, so long it had been to feel this air. This sweet scent, carried from the mid-afternoon mist was intoxicating. The year had been, well, rather interesting. Heart thumped against a muscled chest, aching; my queen was gone. She'd been missing since my first born's death, almost a year and a half ago. In a way, you want to cling to that lingering hope, thinking that your mate would return, engulfing you in a blanket of warmth.. Unfortunately, I'd been missing that feeling for so long; you could say I forgot what it felt like. Hell, even Xehanort had some sort of special companion, if you could call Cocaine a companion. To think about my russet mate was too hard. Thougts diverted from her to my small herd, the rosy tints of my Marluxia.. Constatine, Nautical, Adelina.. Hm. They were one of the few who could comfort me. What a shame.

Limber frame paused, looking towards the neglected trail that led to the waterfall's peak; the place where I'd usually resided. I wanted so badly to go there and look down on the others, to see, but not be seen, but to do so would leave me feeling ever so lonely.. The exact reason why I was here, and I wanted to avoid it. Sapphires took a moment to roll up to the sky, dappled hide pushing forward, past the thick burs that seemed to be flourishing in the warm, muggy season. I was used to this, however. Soft smile creeped onto my facade, crinkled memories floating back to me, far before I'd come here. Talons rested in the earth for a few moments, shifting forward, then back. Radars flickered in place, azure optics hidden by my lids, lulled by the faint hum in the near distance. The falls. Satisfied exhale was emitted into the air, and, forgetting the somber mood that had fallen over myself, I jolted forward, limbs striking the turf with growing excitement.

Maybe I'd failed to see the lone figure that had also acquired the pool as her home. More than likely, I would have missed the buckskin mare completely, if I'd turned around; I didn't. Azure orbs took in the mare after my frame was already splashing into the chilled depths, frame making a nimble, yet strangely awkward dodge around the mare's large form. Optics widened with some kind of amused guilt, and I slipped into the water, slowing my rushed frame. Talons shifted in the water, smile rising on my facade, dished crown twisting towards the mare. I tried to hide the laughter in my voice - perhaps formed at my own stupidity, but it clearly distorted my normally masculine voice, now sounding so cheeky, so boyish. Words bubbled up through my throat, blemish-free neck rising above the water.

"Oh, hi there. Having fun?"

Soft snort rung out after my chuckled words, talons grasping the soft terrain beneath me, body contorting, shaking off. Gaze narrowed, staring at the rippling waves, seeming so familiar to the ones back at my real home. Muscled form shook in a solitary laugh, crown rising again, curious orbs staring at the buckskin form, noting that she too seemed to possess the same glee that I had this very day. Soft smile grew on steel tinted maw, radars perking forward, relaxed sigh floating out into the cool air, masked by the roaring falls.

; I had to. XD

NYX

Being the strange creature she was, nyx had completely zoned out the entire world, content merely to float in the chilled waters that collected in a deep pool at the base of the roaring falls, a pool which, until a few mere seconds ago, had been occupied only by her buckskin form. now, rippled that were not of her own making lapped against her skin, and she was aware of a clumsy splashing near her, which could only have come from the dappled brute that she opened her mocha orbs to see now. A gasp of surprise, and she lost the rhythm that she treaded against the water, momentarily going under the glassy pools surface. Sputtering and snorting the water from her lungs, Nyx resurfaced from her brief stint of unexpected underwater exploration, managing to swim to the shore laughing between bouts of coughing and hysterical giggling. What exactly was funny, nobody really knew, but she went on laughing until she collapsed with a sigh into a heap of sooty legs and sopping wet tresses.

"Ah, yes, I'm having lots of fun. Quite a lot of it. . . " She chuckled, stopping to sample a strange looking plant, with a bright yellow flower and serrated leaves. It turned out to be rather nasty, and she spit it out, giggling quietly. "Indeed, that was most refreshing. I'm Nyx; who might you be?" She asked, glancing up at the dappled grey stallion from her bed in the grass, before unfloding her tangled legs and getting to her feet to shake off the dripping water.

ooc;; XD iss fine. Sorry about the crap post, studying has taken all my muse. >.< You can't exactly write a post when all you can think about is cytosine and nitrogen fixation. XD[/center]

- And the rain falls, oh the rain falls, I don't want to be alone.

For those few moments between the excited dialog, I felt content. Content enough just to linger in the lilting rush of the chilled water as it gently caressed my skin. Relaxed exhale whistled through a steel hued maw, soft optics glancing upwards, over to the buckskin tinted essa, the sheer sound of her laughter - something I'd yet to experience for a long while - making my skin shiver with small fits of joy. Smile began to spread across my maw, my gaze lingering on the buckskin ess' form, watching her claw her way to the shore, mesmerized by the fat droplets of crystal clear liquid that slid down her form; like it had back when Africa was still alive. Only after a second glance, did I realize that Africa resembled this mare to a startling degree, and the only major difference was that Africa was small and fragile - this mare was not. Limbs finally regained their nimble nature, catching the rythmn needed to glide across the pool's shining surface, tresses floating along for the ride.

'Ah, yes, I'm having lots of fun. Quite a lot of it. . .' The feminine voice brought my azures to the soaked mare, her slender frame now bedded down on a layer of crisp grass. Dished crown nodded slightly as a side note, my voice carrying out quietly, between grunts of exertion to remain above the water's lid. "Me as well." Soft chuckle escaped my maw, followed by another simple statement, almost envious of the larger mare. "It's been a long while since I've had some fun. . . like this." Smile rose to my lips again, and my body began to slither through the water, easing out of the chilled liquid. Talons dug into the moistened dirt edges, climbing out, dripping frame leaving a faint trail of my form in the green lithe. Opticals again landed on the buckskin figure, limbs pushing me away from her crumbled form, to a much safer distance, only a few feet away, really, my dished facade lowering to her level, sweet grin forming. 'Indeed, that was most refreshing. I'm Nyx; who might you be?' That lilting voice. . Crown lifted slightly, masculine vocals carried out on a faint updraft, relaxed and content. "It's nice to meet you Nyx. I'm Riku. . Do you, often do things like this?" My voice explained quietly, awe-struck in the situation. Limbs engaged slightly, pushing my slim statue backwards while the newly dubbed Nyx arose; instantly, my gaze lifted, staring at the taller mare, doubting for a moment that my smile would ever leave it's spot on my steel tinted facade.
