Eternal Night (Luci, Open)

[Nine|9]

Vervain

* * *

Nodding happily the large mare made her way to his side, she noticed the way his pelt brushed against hers and she quite enjoyed the feel. She was quite relaxed next to the stallion as her ears turned outwards and her slightly lowered head bobbed neatly at each step she took in her walk. However, with the stallion's next question a slight frown came to her face. Not because she was upset but because she was thinking about Detox's words.

A place of safety provided for her? Shouldn't she be providing safety for him? A flicking tail and twitching ears was all that signaled her internal conflict until she spoke of course, "Never had anyone say that before either. Vervain was told she should protect others. Master told this one she was only for fighting and following orders..."

[/color] More of her strange past was starting to come out as her voice trailed off. Now she was speaking lower, more to herself than to the other horse. "Not pretty or smart... Just would have strong foals... Love and care, not needed for her... Is what Master said... Is what he said true...?"[/color] Her eyes, if they were visible instead of being hidden by her heavy forelock were distant and clouded as her past came to her mind. All the years of training were hard to erase and the part of her that was wanting to believe what Detox was saying was conflicting with her old training. Finally she shook her head to rid it of the conflicting thoughts, now she settled it on something more pleasant, like the fireflies they would be seeing soon.

"Are many fireflies in Lauo?"[/color] A silly, trivial question is what her inquiry probably sounded like but it kept her mind busy. What also helped to distract her was the rapid way that the landscape was starting to get darker. The sun had been lowering before but not nearly fast enough to warrant what was happening now, it was quite amazing really. Vervain looked around at the landscape in awe of how the drastic change had happened.

((Such an original title XD))

'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA NEED ONE TO GET RID OF ME BABY

Brow furrowed with disgust as Detox listened carefully to Vervain. Who in their right mind would tell a mare such things? Disgust made his upper lip curl and eyes glow even brighter.

His eyesight improved as they slowly entered his lands. Darkness enveloped them and the occasional plant would have an eerie glow to it. The smell of night and toadstools were growing stronger and the sound of dripping water filled the ears of the proud stallion who walked next to his new mare. Picking his feet up higher, as Detox's vision grew clearer he stepped slightly in front of the mare, eager to be off but containing himself as he knew that the footing could be slightly tricky for those who were not adjusted to the lack of light.

The stallion turned back around to Vervain as she continued talking and flicked his ears back in annoyance.

No, my dear. What he said was not true. Mares are not to be treated like toys or possessions - it is your choice if you wish to have foals and no love and care! Bah! Your old Master was silly, my beautiful Vervain. You must strive to forget his ways, for here in my lands with me, you will be showered with love and care..

Detox's eyes glowed brightly as he became more and more angered at the treatment the mare had obviously suffered. No one should be treated as if they were dirt... With a shake of his head, Detox turned around and waited for his new mare to walk by his side, pressing up against her to guide her through the entry to his land. His ears pricked forward and nostrils flared, Detox grinned as they stepped underneath one of the largest toadstools in the area that glowed the same colour as his eyes.

Welcome to Lauo, my dear Vervain. Welcome to your new home.

OOC: Would you like them to have a foal? :3 before breeding season is over? :3

Vervain

Everything that he had spoken was true! The glowing toadstools, the flickering bugs that floated through the air! It was a dream come true! Sure, her eyes weren't as keen as she imagined the gorgeous ones Detox had to be but this was no trouble as the glowing life held an ample amount of light. Besides, the palomino mare would get used to the eternal darkness.

The brush of soft gray fur along her side was reassuring and nice as they went further into the night realm. No matter how beautiful it was it was still unfamiliar and Detox's touch was very welcome. His words were also just as welcome, it seemed as if everyone wasn't like her old master... She had a lot to learn it seemed. Who better to teach it to her than a kind stallion like him? "Will try to learn new ways with Detox. Vervain will try hard."

[/color] In her strange mind she knew it would be difficult but not impossible. Though she still felt eager to please any and everyone.

Vervain pressed against her guide's side as they continued their trek into the darkness. Finally they stopped beneath a beautiful blue toadstool, it glowed with such intensity that her eyes were naturally attracted to it as she stood entranced by its light. The words spoken by the stallion snapped her out of her reverie and she began to look around at the eternal but awe-inspiring night-land. This was her home... Her own home where she would be... loved and cared for. It was such a strange thought that anyone would love and care for her. A smile spread slowly across her scarred face as she observed every little detail from beneath her forelock. "Vervain loves it. She thanks Ruler-Detox for bringing her here!"[/color] Her head lowered so she could give a friendly nuzzle to Detox, a small gesture showing her deep gratitude.


((Yesh! That would be perfect! Little Toxy and Vervy babies!))
