The little mare shifted her weight and laughed nervously when her new friend mentioned not wanting to meet the horned god. They had made likenesses of him at festivals. One time she swore she saw him in the forest but she knew it was probably just her vivid little imagination making demons from the moving shadows. The ancient ones were indeed chaotic and whimsical, based probably off the forces of nature she thought, and the way they both provided life and took life away. "Yeah he always frightened the life out of me when I was a filly" she smiled mirthfully thinking about it.
"Oh I agree with you there" she said, nodding thoughtfully at the mares next statement. "Everyone I had ever known was not much taller than I am up until a short while ago. You lot seem dreadfully tall in comparison but I thought it was pretty wondrous when I first came to your land, I still do a bit."
She shook her mane, sending a couple of leaves fluttering to the ground and thought about what she might have to offer the court, were she to take Mephisto up on her invitation. A citadel sounded like such a grand place. She'd heard of places like that, bigger than any tribe or village she'd known, full of horses. Surely within a sea of so many beings she could find better company than she could here, alone with the capybara. She hoped Mephisto might guide her though, not only to the city but around the rules of this new place. She had no idea of their customs but from the looks of it her old tribe were much less developed than these big horses with their cities and civilised gods. She wanted to fit in and as much as possible assimilate and forget that small place that held those stinging memories of childhood torment and teasing. "I would love to come with you, if you think there's a place for me." she hesitated to reveal her insecurity "as for experience and gifts, I'm not very knowledgeable or learned, but I can fight surprisingly well" she paused and then added with her usual self-deprecating humour "the trick is to go for the ankles" she chuckled slightly.
SORRY I was waiting til my post table was ready but it doesn't work with this site xD
