Gray hairs danced in the wind. The smell of the sea lingered in the air. The sight of the icy colored birds flew over head. Their calls being heard all around the land that the equines wandered upon. The sun shining down and following the sight of a gray as his daggers led him over the terrain. Dark brown orbs looking all around at the land that this stallion cantered over. Feeling the wind in his mane and the small pieces of the sand fly up and hit the under side of his figure. His mind racing as he made his way over the terrain.
His daggers slicing into the sand and slightly sinking as he slowed down and let his weight go back into the hooves that he walks with. Gazing around to see what kind of adventures he would in find in this part of the terrain. Taking in the sights sounds and even the smells that were all around this place. His eyes looking all around as he turned his view and looked out to the land that was before him. Letting his eyes scan over the water and his thorns move all around as he wandered who was going to come and see him as he rested his self upon the around. He was up for an adventure and to meet others. Though he was not going to become someone's pet.
He was a loner and seem to always be one no matter what the situation was. He could not find himself holding up in one place. So he just stayed a roamer. Now standing upon the beaches of this terrain. Just waiting to see if he could find a new friend. Though he was unsure if he would even be able to find that since it was hard enough to hide himself. He was just one stallion to make his way over the land to see what fun would come his way.

Aiyana
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin...
This wasn't Aiyana's first visit to the mortal world, nor would it be the last. The goddess found comfort in the company of those below her, and treated their existence with care. Having been often found roaming the forests and priaries, the oddity lay in her presence here. A place where the sands prevented plant growth, apart from the random, hardy shrubbery one could sometimes find. The constantly shifting beach warmed her, and she delighted in the clear sky that lingered overhead. As the gazed into the sky with clear blue eyes, one could note the many differences in her appearance. The green markings the normally adorned her crown had disappeared. In what would typically be its centered rested a small white star, representative of the horn that really existed there. Pearly white made up her mane and tail, somewhat different from the streaks of red, orange and gold that wove themselves into those silky tendrils. Her golden, dappled pelt gleamed here, lit beautifully by the brightness of the sun on the pale sand. Water touched her hooves, lapping up onto her front legs slightly in the patterns of the waves. It did well to cool her, and she was sweetly content as things were; her standing motionless at the waters edge. The sound of birds singing above called to her, though, and she lowered her gaze to search the lands to her left. A stranger lingered some where there, she knew, and soon enough she could see his dark shadow on the horizon. Without moving her stance, Aiyana looked his way with perked ears and an obviously friendly stance. Nickering to him quietly, she nodded her head once or twice in motion for him to join her. Not exactly a summons, of which was typical of the gods. No, instead a welcoming gesture to join her in her lovely summer day.

Seeing the sight of the land that was around this bronco. He began to see the sight of something that he never expected to ever see in his life time. Noticing the sight of another equine not far from him. Her skin was a different coloration and tone than his was. Something that he did not except, but then she nodded for him to come to her and so with a soft smile and a shrug. He picked up his pace and pranced over to him. Letting his head become vertical to the ground and his boa arched in kind of a show off look. With his banner raised just a tad as she looked at the sight of the vixen.
"Hello my dear." He said as he dipped his skull to her with a soft smile. "I'm guessing that you are one of those God creatures that romps over the land?" He asked while he gazed into her globes.

Aiyana gazed at the stallion with bright eyes, taking in his features swiftly. He was handsome, and built like a stallion should be: muscular and strong. This stranger was bigger than she was, but she didn't fear him. The goddess traveled always with an open mind, and expected the best out of those that may not have deserved it. Swishing her tail, she smiled and cooed to him. "Aye." The word was underrated in Aiyana's mind, and her favorite way of saying yes. "Might you walk with me a little while?" She questioned, picking a hoof up and turning from him slightly. The winds on the beach tossed her mane and tail, allowing her thick forelock to cover her pale eyes. She wanted to know more about this gray stranger, and most likely make a friend of him. Unknown to Aiyana, the female had had more than one interested stallion in the past. Saddly for them, the obliviousness that made the goddess so charming typically landed them in what humans might call the friend zone. The Goddess of Plants was far too innocent and fragile to think of anyone as more than a close companion.

His daggers moved slightly as he looked at her. Hearing the sound of her voice flowing into his thorns ever so slowly. With his mind running all around rather than being in one place. Oh how he did not like it and yet he did. He had not felt like this for some time now. Shifting his weight as he saw the sight of her motion forwards after he spoke. Giving her a nod when she asked if he would walk with her. "I think I am able to do that." He said with a soft smile upon his mug as he looked at her. Letting his figure carry himself forwards through were they were standing. Feeling the ocean breeze flow around once again as he took in so many thoughts within his skull.

The goddess picked and placed her hooves in the dainty way that was her character, creating soft dunes in the grainy sand. She walked quietly for a moment, simply enjoying her company as he was. Aiyana was never uncomfortable in these instances, where silence stretched between two parties. Content to listen only to his hooves mix the sands, she would wait quite some time before speaking again. "Tell me, what is it you ponder?" The golden mare questioned, turning her eyes away from where they gazed out into the sea. Aiyana looked brightly up into this strangers orbs, friendly and unmoving. While the contrast in her eyes were piercing, something about the mare was soft and mothering. Afterall, they didn't call it Mother Nature for nothing. The Plant Goddess was perhaps the most caring of the gods, as she often gave guidance and her shoulder to the mortals. She fell back into silence, looking away and towards where they were headed. The beach stretched for another few miles, where it would no doubt fade into grassland and eventually forestry. It was there that Aiyana truly called home. She was excited to see her forest. Every day there was new life to behold and lost lives to grieve there, as well as the occasional friendly face. But, for now, she was content to walk beside the form of someone she did not know at all. Leave the excitement of her occupation for later.

My eyes looked all over this beautiful creature that stood before me. Yes, she was a Goddess. Everything about her screamed it. For the coloration painted upon her pelt to the golden colored orbs that she had that were zoning into my own eyes. Shifting my weight as I walked with this mare. Letting my mind run wild as I was wandering with her forwards. Listening to the words that came from her lips and fell into my thorns. "What do you mean by that, m'lady. I'm just a mere stallion that walks with a beautiful Goddess that I don't even know the name of." He said with a soft smile as he arched his neck slightly and let out a slight snort. "For my name is Bucephalus." He added to his words as they walked. Letting his mind run wild with ideas as he watched her carefully.

Aiyana gave him a knowing smile, pausing in the sands for a moment. As the ocean breeze tossed her mane and tail about her body, she laughed softly. A melodic sound that carried on the winds. "Then I must seek your pardon, and might you refer to me as Aiyana from this moment forward." She stated, continuing to lazily transverse the sloping terrain. "Surely you don't wish to be so coy with me, Bucephalus, for every mind has a special place to go when it wanders. An infirmary of questions and memories." Tossing her forelock out of her eyes to rest on the periphery of her vision, Aiyana looked to him once more. "But you may keep such a thing a secret if you wish. Perhaps you haven't even allowed yourself to find that place, yet." As she spoke, Aiyana felt herself laughing in her mind. A beautiful goddess? This must be his first encounter with a goddess, as Aiyana could feel only that the others were far more beautiful than she. This brought her no sadness or envy, however, only the great appreciation she had for those she would always consider her better. Although she was one of the original gods, the Goddess of Plants was no doubt a humble one with many figures to look up to.

He turned and looked at her when she halted. Letting his figure go a couple steps forwards before halting. Snorting slight before he let his listeners take in the words that she was saying to him. Flickering his smoky colored banner against his pelt as he took in so many thought of just what he was going to do. Yet they were not showing up in his thoughts. All he could do was keep his eyes close on her. "Well it is nice to mee tyou Aiyana." He said with a soft smile his mug. Shaking his head slightly in thought. Listening to the words that she spoke. "I just wish to know the goddess that is before me." He said after all her words were said to him. Letting his figure shift forwards. Taking in a deep breath of this place. With wanders of just what she was thinking deep down inside this mares mind. There was just so much that he was just unsure of what might happen now.

Wished to know more about her? Aiyana didn't have very much of a history, besides that which concerned her daughter. But she hadn't been to see her filly in many years, and perhaps that was for the better. Aviah had difficulties fitting in already, and being associated with a god regularly would probably do little more than separate her further. There had been little bumps in her life, she was certain, but as their insignificance was so great that the goddess could do little to recall them. Her response, therefore, was appropriate: "There isn't much to know about me, darling. I simply provide foliage for the mortals to do whatever they wish with it." That charismatic grin was yet to leave her features, and rarely did it ever. The goddess was definitely one of the more gleeful ruler in the skies. Yet, calm in her demeanor. She always talked with the sort of quietness that made others only want to listen, a voice the soothed the most unrighteous of souls. "My past is older than I can remember." she admitted. Aiyana had no memory of a mortal life, and wasn't sure she had ever had one. Despite her always being a force amongst the gods, she had heard many guesses as to who she may have been. Little things that helped define her. Always having been known for touching those she admired, the goddess had even heard once that she may have been blind as a mortal. Then, out of Dasan's charity, he granted her sight and a place in the skies. Aiyana didn't know, and never had really questioned it. "Perhaps you have a history you can remember?" She pondered over him for a moment. What scars did he have?

Daggers shifted as he walked beside the Goddess. Flickering his thorns as she said that all she simply did was provide all the green stuff that we have around us equines. Which was a lot to take care of if you think about it carefully. Smiling softly back to her as she smiled towards him. "That must be a lot to handle with everyone that is around here." He said as he looked around for a moment and then turned and looked at her when she said she did not remember her past only because it was so long ago when she was brought into the world as a horse like us mortals. Shifting his figure as he walked along side her. His thorns going all around him before he heard her ask about his history that he could remember. For his history was not one that a lot of equines should have had. With his skull slightly lowering as he looked to the ground and then turned and looked back over towards her. "My history is not of a good one. I've always been a trouble maker and in an end result. I do not make a good leader for a herd like I thought and I lost my mother because of it." He said with a soft sigh at the end of it. Letting his eyes turn and fall to the land around them.

The goddess listened quietly to the synopsis of his life. She hardly ever came across someone that didn't have some bump in the road that was their existence. Whether this was due to bad choices or unhappiness merely falling upon them was always different, and some handled it more gracefully than others. Aiyana's mind wandered momentarily to Svatur, making the gentle connection that he would have been the one to escort Bucephalus' mother to her end. She had often pondered such a thing, especially since the day she had her child. One day she, too, would be helped into the spirit world by her mother's most cherished friend. Her current company's misfortune saddened her, if only slightly the goddess was well known for her empathy. "You mustn't blame yourself. Everyone has their time in this world, and when that time is up they must return to the land of spirits. Even if it does seem too soon sometimes." The goddess touched is cheek softly and smiled, "Cheer up, it's a beautiful day to be alive." Aiyana shook her mane out and marveled at the pretty atmosphere. Not a cloud lingered in the sky, and the sun shone brightly. The breeze that followed them kept the temperatures wonderfully low, and gave the sea birds flight. "You know I heard once that spirits can watch over mortals?" She asked gingerly, not know whether or not it was true. The goddess had never asked it of Svatur, though she was slowly thinking she should. "I'm not sure if it's true or not, and perhaps one of the other gods would know. But it is interesting to question, is it not?" While gods were supposedly all-knowing, there was much mystery shrouding that other place. And, of course, since no god had ever really been sent there there wasn't much research on the subject.

His eyes looking over to her with a soft smile upon his mug as she spoke to him. Her voice seemed to cheer him just just a bit. Listening to everything she had to say to him. Hearing the words that he should not blame himself and that we all just return to the land of the spirits, but that is not what he wanted. Yes, him and his mother argued all of the time. He just did not want to see her gone. Then the question that she spoke came into his thorns as he stood there. "No I did not know that. I did not know that the spirits of other danced all over our heads." He said softly as he looked all over her figure. Then turned and looked all around the land that they walked upon.
Then she had more words coming into her thorns as he walked beside her. Nodding his skull to her as he gazed into her eyes. Hearing that a God might just have the answer that he would want to know. "That would be nice to know. Though my mother and myself argued all of the time. Just didn't want to end like that, but seems like it did." He said as he flickered his banner and let his thoughts run wildly through his mind as he walked and chatted with the Goddess.

Pausing their walk, Aiyana tossed him a knowing smile. He was a kind, strong equine, and she envisioned him doing well in life. The goddess was happy to leave the immortal world to make friends with others. It was sad in a way, though. While Aiyana would live forever, her friends could never follow her through the rest of her long existence. "There is a God, named Svatur, who helps mortals to their eternal rest. Perhaps he can give you the answers you seek." Aiyana had spent much time with Svatur, and knew him well. He had a bad reputation in the mortal world as the bringer of death, but it was a necessary part of life. Touching his mane with her muzzle softly, she watched as a vine grew there. It wrapped itself around his mane in a loose but secure way. Purple flowers bloomed there, decorating his otherwise colorless frame. They would eventually fall out, but that would take time. "For now I must leave you. I wish you safe travels, and an end to the regrets you carry." With that, the Goddess of Plants disappeared with the suddenly intense wind.
