The sun, and the twittering of birds, drew her citrine eyes to look upon the world she now found herself in. At first, and even after she rolls to her belly, her forelegs crooked upwards before her and ginger muzzle sweeping this way, and that, the girl believes she is dreaming. The horrible, eternal rain that falls at the fringes of her fuzzy memory is no more, and there are no cryptically bent and slimy trees alive with glowing eyes, either. All around her is an endless sea of emerald grass, and it is dappled all about by the silhouettes of strangers that are neither glowing or malevolent. No fog rolls over the earth, only the golden sunlight, and the wind that gently tousles through the heady air is clean and whimsical. Surely, she was still asleep. Yet, who was she to deny a pleasant dream, when her world had become a nightmare? She tells herself, and rises to her hooves, shaking her body to rid it of the clinging grass and wandering insects who had inched across her dozing form. Instinctually, she reaches over her shoulder to put her cloak back in place – but it is not there. Even if this was a dream, her heart drops to her belly regardless, and tears well in her eyes at the loss of her cloak. Trying her best to console herself that, when she awoke, all would be well, the maiden sniffles before rubbing her tears away on a knee, and heading out across the rolling expanse of grass, her antlered head held high, and pale green eyes looking all about her at the prettiness of this world. It’s not until a hole snags her unwitting hoof and her ankle is roughly wrenched in the process that the girl realizes she’s not dreaming at all. Suddenly horrified in all the ways she had been aloof but moments before, her happy smile falls away for the crestfallen, open mouthed expression of one who hasn’t a clue what is going on, but for the truth she hasn’t a clue where she is. “Not again,” tearfully warbles the ginger and cream darling, looking down at her hooves in utter dismay. [ OOC: anyone is welcome :D ] & you just can’t fall asleep, I’ll sing a song beside you. and if you ever forget how much you really mean to me, every day, I will remind you. |
