THE FIRE MAIDENS ARRIVAL! [/center] A fire has burnt hot and wiped this forest clear, its molten fingers strangling the life out. Where once stood the majestic forest is now a burnt and ashy field. The embers still glow hot in places, and the wind shifts the ash as far as eye can see. With the change of season there are also other changes in the air. A creature cloaked in fine opalescent shawl wanders across the charcoal desert. The shifting of the shawl reveals tight light pink skin horribly scarred from the fire itself. Wide innocent pink eyes gazed over the destruction with awe. Did she cause this? Or was she simply a victim of its natural ferocity?
Her skin covered in blisters and flaking away at places. The immense pain gripped her, soft whimpers escaping her voice as you approach. What do you want? she asks shyly. Before long a white light surrounds the figure and it is noticeable that her pain is now eased. Her freshly burnt flesh now scarring, it is still incredibly ugly but now it is not so raw. Tiny crystals form on her skin, protruding from the wounds, catching the light and reflecting the spectrum of the rainbow in the burnt out stumps of the forest.
It is clear now; I am here for this purpose. A smile crept across her lips as sharpened teeth were revealed. Not everything is as it would seem. Feint ghostly wings stretched now from her back. Tell me, What is it you desire? I will grant you each one wish of what you need. What you need may not be what you want! her eyes shifted slightly before focusing back on you. It was as though she was lost somewhere else temporarily.
The fire maiden will grant each player surprises good or bad, for one foal and one horse PER player. =) any bad surprises are temporary and should create interest for roleplaying purposes! You may also post in this thread exploring the burnt wastes, who knows what or who you might stumble upon!

Ghostly Warfare wandered alone in the strange land, the smell of acrid smoke burning the young filly's nostrils. She was only a few days old, not even able to protect herself, but she could not ignore the itch that drew her to this place. The spine-tingling, never ending itch that she could not avoid.
With a soft snort, the beautiful filly lifted her delicate head to the air, wind ruffling her spiky mane and foal tail as she let out a trill whinny to any in the land.
Romeo snorted loudly, his muscular shoulders flexing as he pawed at the ground impatiently. He had heard of the whispers of a land, burnt and damaged, as well as the Fire Maiden who wandered among the lands and burned brightly herself. Huge wings extended halfway as he prowled deeper into the lands, senses on the alert for any others who may be wandering the strange lands. His cruel, half-coloured eyes took in his surroundings greedily as he seemed to blend in and out of the blackened trees with his own coat. Soot fell gently onto the brute, darkening his glimmering white coat to a dull grey and matting together his thick, curly hair.
Fire Maiden, I wish to speak with you. I know not what I want, but I hope that you can give me something that may be beneficial to myself.

GHOSTLY WARFARE
Darling, darling, darling you must not let curiosity get the best of you all the time. The maiden produced a small box, ”inside are fireflies, they should help guide you in the night. she looked at the young foal and sighed softly. There was something else that was needed to, it was on the tip of her tongue. Oh yes…. She produced another small box filled with ribbons, and clips and hair ties. use these so you do not get your beautiful mane and tail tangled on your explorations
FIREFLIES (they will naturally breed and live forever in a small “herd”)+ hair accessories!
ROMEO
Now what did the hot headed stallion need? With her own power she could see into his soul. Her pink eyes squinting judgementally at him. Darling, until you perform one good deed without venom or malice in your heart you will be plagued with nightmares of whatever made you so foul. We have our experiences to learn from, not to make us walking terrors on the face of the earth. she snorted softly before producing a small box like the others, no one could not call the fire maiden charitable. She opened the box and showed him a large black stone as dark as the night, on a thick black ribbon, made of something indestructible, but when looked into it shows the fire of one’s soul. Let this remind you of your potential, the fire inside will glow fierce with passion and rage and will be hot to your skin.
PLAGUED WITH NIGHTMARES UNTIL A GOOD DEED IS DONE ONYX NECKLACE ON A THICK HARDY BLACK RIBBON

Daesia was on high alert, and ordinarily she would've never come here. Superstition had never before been her Forte-- but that had been Before, before two separate pregnancies with issues of their own. The second one had been terrifying, particularly with how large she had grown: surely there had to have been issues. But she kept this terror close to herself, and it turned to great joy when the time actually came: Two twins! Living twins!
But she wasn't totally free of worry-- not by a long shot. Perhaps it was because they were twins, but they were not as healthy as she'd've hoped: the male especially was in poorer health then her sister, and that struck a deep chord of fear in Daesia-- she did not want to loose more children. And so, when she heard about the wish-granter, she ventured forth to request the favor-- but slowly, because even her sickly son had to keep up.
When they finally reached the fire maiden, Daesia was for a moment lost for words, and then found her voice: "I wish health and protection for my children."
The little red boy peeked out from behind his mother, eyes clear and curious despite his ill health, and gave the fire maiden a curious smile. "I don't know what i want. Hello!"
((formatting this evening Morphy-- I didn't want to powerplay your girl, so I have not mentioned her, but you are absolutely free to say she is here with Dae!))

DAESIA
For the love you bare your children, a fire maiden you have become of your own. She produced a small chest and opened it, a vial one blue and the other pink. One for each child. This will make them stronger, they will not sleep well but they will wake with greater resolve. The fire glows hotter in the night; and so will this magic. Both children will be warmer to the touch for the remainder of their days and may not practice water magic’s for they will not have the aptitude for it. But fire my love, they may find a calling in its embrace! For the fire maiden looks out for her own Her nose crinkled slightly and she sneezed before rummaging amongst her pile of things, and produced another small treasure box, inside were balms, creams and ointments. These will treat burns, and they will ease the pain of your post pregnancy hurts. she smiled softly, she couldn’t gift something to simply aid the children. She had to give something that would help the mother also.
POTIONS TO GRANT STRENGTH TO THE FOALS MEDICAL SUPPLIES FOR MOTHER!
RED COLT
The gods have embraced you and granted you with the richness of their own fire. Drink the potion I gave your mother and you will soon grow to strong stallion. Both you and your sister will find the Pyromancer skills will come more naturally to you. your gift is to be shared with your sister. She produced a black sack made of thick material and opened it to show fiery red and yellow gems. Keep these between the two of you when you sleep and you will stay warm regardless of how cold it is outside, put them in water and it will boil, press them to the flesh of another and it will burn. Perhaps when you are older you could have them fashioned into jewellery. But for now you are far too young and careless to wear these precious stones. Keep them in the bag and use them as you need.
MYSTERIOUS FIRESTONES TO SHARE WITH HIS SISTER

Daesia's eyes filled with gratitude as she took the gifts-- particularly the potions. These she handled with special care: once home, they would be an answer to so many of her concerns. "Thank you." she answered the fire maiden.
The sight of gifts for him had Kai brimming with excitement, and the small red colt bounced forward to take the gift eagerly. "Ooh!" he exclaimed, eyes widening at the brightness of the gems.
Daesia snorted at him, putting an ear back-- she wouldn't have her son being totally mannerless, even if he were a prince. "What do you say?"
"What?" Kai asked, and then frowned, thinking back at what his mother had told him over these past few days of being alive.
"Thank people when they give you things." Daesia prodded gently, and that got Kai to give a big toothy grin and say "Oh! Yeah. Thank you."
It was a very passing gesture-- pro-forma, done becuase he'd been told to and not out of any urge to be polite, but this was becuase he was a rash child, excited with the prospect of magical gifts. Certainly his gratitude would become more profound when he realized the powers of the things, but for the moment it would have to do. Daesia gave the fire maiden an apologetic look, and herded Kai away, back the way they came-- the sooner they got home, the sooner she could give Elda the potion and make both of her children as strong as they deserved to be. And ease her own hurts-- an added bonus she hadn't been expecting.

Emiline, ever the explorer, had come to see what she could and learn what she was able. The yellow Bashkir Curly mare with orange mane and tail stepped tentively forward.
"Greetings," she said shyly to the unique figure before her. "I do not seek anything in particular, as I try to remain always ready for the unexpected. Any gift you bestow upon me will be accepted and appreciated for what it is." She looked up and waited.

EMILINE
What an interesting mane you have child. Your mane speaks of the fire itself! Pink eyes set over the female examining her carefully, inspecting her for flaws and deception. She hummed and snorted as she rummaged threw the pile of things. From the pile she produced a dusty box, inside was a tiny dragon. the more you feed this one, either with the positive experiences or the negative experiences of others the more he will grow, what you feed him and let him witness by looking into your eyes will determine what his nature will be. He will grow to the size of a large dog; no bigger. Maybe he will breathe fire, maybe he will be so cowardly he will become white from lack of daylight. He will be a true reflection of your soul! she smiled softly before producing a silver necklace inset with an emerald this will allow you to be able to "feel" where he is at all times. They have very good noses you know, maybe he will be at use for your learning and exploring! now go before I change my mind!
SMALL DRAGON PET AND PRETTY TRACKING NECKLACE!

~Nocturne~
He didn't know what had brought him to the strange burnt out lands but here he was. His golden hooves thudded against the ground while his leonine tail swished behind him. The blue eyes in his head gazed around cautiously as he didn't know what to expect, he just knew an urge had awakened and he had followed it blindly.
Finally he came upon his destination, the Fire Maiden who stood amid the burned foliage. Nocturne's markings glowed of their own accord as he neared her. When he was near he stopped and bowed his head, in awe of the strange equine. "Please... Fire Maiden, I do not know what brought me here but part of me believes it was because of you. I don't know what I need but I will trust you to grant me what it is."
[/color] His head lifted as he looked at the mare before him. ------------------------------------ ~Vervain's Foal~Still wobbly on her new legs she trotted out through the burnt fields. She was afraid of being on her own but while her mother had slept she'd felt the urge to leave her and wander. She didn't know where she'd wandered to but somehow she'd come upon this field and now she was in the presence of a strange mare. Others were receiving gifts from her and now she wanted one too! Her twin tails with their strange spikes wagged ferociously as she neared the Fire Maiden, finally she stopped before her and put on a large smile. "Are you giving out gifts, ma'am? Can this one have one too, please?" Her speech was almost like her mothers but with a strange twist.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

NOCTURNE Her shawl ruffeled as a wind picked up ah the gods have spoken to me of you she rummaged threw the pile of things and pulled out a golden chalice it carries water and will heal the wounds of those pure of heart. If someone who has darkness agrip within them sips from it they will be cast in horrible pain when the fire god smites them. briefly as it will be it will be enough to cause a scarring in their personality. Be sure of what effect you want! she winked at him before pulling out a small treasure box. Inside was a tiny dove with a broken wing. Tend to her and she will be a long lasting companion.
CHALICE OF HEALING AND TERROR MINITURE DOVE
THE SPIKEY LASS
Her eyes narrowed focusing on the spiked innocent infront of her. What did the fire god want for this one. She closed her eyes breifly before a snort escaped her nostrils and she was sent scurrying amoungst her things looking for a particular gift. She produced a small sack and when it was opened it revealed various seeds. plant these and they will grow into magnificent fruit trees for yourself and your herd. They are long lasting tres and will long out survive you or I so be careful where you place them, it would be best to wait for a season where there is more rain to plant them. Summer is coming! She tilted her head before snorting again and looking for something else. She pulled out a large thick blacket. It will be warm when you need it to be and be cold when you need it to be. Don't be selfish though child, these gifts are to be shared with those you care about. Do not let another suffer while you are in comfort. It is plenty big enough for more then one horse but surprisingly light.
FRUIT SEEDS HOT AND COLD BLANKET

~Nocturne~
Nocturne accepted the first gift from the Fire Maiden gladly and committed her words to memory. The second gift he was a little confused on and at first he didn't know what to with the tiny dove but when he took the tiny creature he could feel love for the tiny avian starting to bubble from him. He gazed tenderly at the injured dove and smiled before placing the tiny thing on his back. "I shall call her, Hathor. I thank you for these incredible gifts."
[/color] the dark stallion bowed once more before turning and exiting the burnt landscape. ------------------------------------ ~Vervain's Foal~The foal's eyes grew wide at the gifts but she trotted forward bravely to receive them. First taking the bag with seeds in her mouth and letting the blanket drape around her small back. She gave a neigh of joy and nearly scampered away to her herd to show off her gifts but she stopped herself and turned back to the Fire Maiden. "Thank-you, ma'am! This one'll take everything back so that she can take care of her herd!" Now she gave a small whinny and scampered back the way she had come, towards home and her mother. [/blockquote][/blockquote]

Detox approached a strange egg curiously, nostrils dilated as his muscles tensed, ready to spring away. The strange lines along his spine appeared to distort and his blue eyes cast an eerie glow onto the large orb. The grey stallion reaches out a quivering nose to the egg, gently touching his muzzle to it, and jumps back suddenly in surprise, twitching his muzzle side to side. Ow! It burns! With a huge grin, the stallion nickers his triumph.
If it suits the Fire Maiden of these lands, I wish to claim this egg as my own, and raise the being inside as if it were my own child!

so be it, she drops a cloth to allow the carrying of the egg wherever it was the stallion lived.

Emiline bowed her head. "Thank you so much," she said. The tiny dragon eagerly climbed up onto her back, finding a comfortable spot to curl up and sleep. "The dragon will be a wonderful companion, and the necklace is beautiful in itself." She put it on.
"I thank you again for this unique gift," she said, then slowly left. She pondered her future with the little creature who lay sleeping on her shoulders.
