[P] Penumbra

[Lyra]

There were a million stars reflected on the glassy surface of the lake before her. The illusion was incomparable. It was as if the dark mare had been thrust up into the galaxy and was floating amongst the stars, despite standing perfectly still at the edge of the lake watching in silence. The stillness of the air kept the trees and the grasses around her from rustling or making a sound. She watches the reflections of the sky on the surface of the now frozen water, not bothering to trace her gaze towards where her reflection stood. The woman was too dark to be seen, save for the pale silver eyes staring out from the dark canvas. One would think that she was reflecting upon her past, or muddling through intricate thoughts, when instead, with a casual backwards flick of a ear, she was straining to hear a hint of any sound amongst the silence. There was no way that she was alone in such a vast land, as she had seen the others milling about during the day. She had long ago learnt to embrace the cover of shadows, knowing that the darkness was the one thing (aside from her shyness) that embraced her without prejudice. She didn't have much longer to look as she noticed another here, someone she was not familiar with quite yet. She supposed as a Champion she had to fix that didn't she? Nerves aside she gave herself a tiny shake of her head and decided to step away from her little hiding spot and cleared her throat. "Hey there..beautiful sight isn't it?" She glanced towards the lake for a moment. "Talk."
