I FEEL DIVINITY IN MY BONES LIKE ACHING; LIKE FIRE.
It wasn't planned. There was no plan when Aletheia had left the little group of family that she had. She had known deep within her gut that there was something better out there, something that called to her, something that made her soul sing. Things that would edge her ever closer to the oncoming status of that of a god! There was a small churning in her gut that drew her to this place, a place of too tall plateaus and a sun whose loving kiss had long turned sour upon Aletheia's dark back. It was tempting to try to climb the steep slopes, to try and glimpse if she was coming or going and what exactly lies on the other side of this wasteland. She had tried once before when she had been first met with the expanse of stone, only to be hit with a shower of small stones upon her face and a few scratches upon her shoulder from the rough slide down. A small slight against her, but certainly not one that would deter the young creature from venturing further into the labyrinth of stone. It was worth noting that despite Aletheia's annoyance towards the canyon, she found wonder in the small hues of color that wove their ways through the layers of rock, mimicking small ribbons in their dance as they stretched on for miles, changing and colliding, all coming together to form some sort of grand beauty that the pegasus had yet to see in any of her travels.
Such admiration would have continued as Aletheia picked her way through the winding landscape if a dark figure had not caught her eye. They stumbled and shambled along, tired and broken. The pegasus narrowed her eyes with slight concern and wariness at the distant stranger. There was a hitch in their gate, one that put a pang in her heart. It was not out of pity per say, but rather a sense of companionship. Another creature that was not exactly pristine was wandering this golden place, just as she was. Such thoughts of camaraderie came to a screeching halt as the stranger stumbled and let a quiet, barely audible curse slip from their lips, “Ahh, shit.” A small snort of amusement left Aletheia's nose as her rather concerned expression turned to one of childish interest and amusement, a small grin tugging upon her dark lips. Her once lazy walk soon shifted into a rather brisk jog as she tried to catch up to the stranger, both out of concern and curiosity. As her pace quickened slightly, her left wing fluttered out slightly, as if in an attempt to further right the dead weight that rested at her side. A welcoming "hello," slipped from her lips as she grew closer, the small smile on her face had soon faltered as she was able to truly take in the state of the stranger. From afar, they simply looked as though they were a weary passerby but upon further inspection, worry crawled over Aletheia's heart like a swarm of spiders. Long ago, the temple Aletheia had once called home had taken in the occasional traveler, often tired and worn down from their travels. The creature before her was certainly not the same as them. There was another sense of weariness that ate at their frame, once of age-old trials and tribulations. A weariness that could not be brought on by miles traveled alone.
