INARA
It took more courage than she thought that she had, to be standing in the middle of another Court. Since her arrival into the lands, Novus as she now knew, she had been hesitant to wander far from the safety of Dusk Court. It had been simple luck that she had found them first, and that their Goddess Vespera’s teachings of motherly concern had ushered her into the fold. The red roan let her feathered limbs draw her further into the unfamiliar territory – the small silver bangle on her hind making the slightest of sounds. It was her hooves that made the most noise upon the floor of the grand building. Her morning had begun early, and she had taken her time in exploring the fortress and searching for more of the relics that had made quite the rounds within Novus. It seemed that everyone was looking for them, or at least was beginning to hear of them. What power would they contain? Or was it merely another story meant to stir the hearts of the greedy?
Satisfied with her exploration of the fortress, Inara moved out of the building, out into a courtyard and eventually out on the outside of the building completely. She walked slowly along the outer walls, not really looking for much of anything but instead taking the time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. It seemed this realm was full of beautiful sights to see, and it made her wish for a pair of wings with which she could see it all. Walking, as it turned out, was quite the trek – and yet she felt a sense of invigoration and self-reliance by going out on her own. Ivy scaled the walls in places, it’s vines entangling upon the stone as nature attempted to reclaim what was hers. Inara was looking up when she heard the sound of another’s step, drawing her crown down from her inquisitive gazing. Her emerald gaze landed on a stranger, a stallion with vibrant striping and horns that sprang from the top of his head.
Her ears flickered forward in interest, but the shy mare that she was, she carefully stepped out of his path so that he could pass her by. The splashed mare lowered her eyes as he came closer, seemingly on his own walk – and she did not want to cause offense if he was part of the Dawn Court. She could not say that she had seen him before, new as she was to the land. He was dark as the night, save for the brilliant teal striping that seemed luminescent upon his skin because it was so bright a color. He looked more like one of the deer, than an equine with his lithe build. Inara gave the slightest nod of her head, her own indication of respect. Her ears had flattened back, the crest of her crown not quite as high as she dropped her eyes again to the ground.
