[Noxia]

Noxia And it only hurts when I'm breathing My heart only breaks when it's beating Perhaps one might say that it was a miracle she could even find a home. After all, she had been driven from so many in the past year that it would seem as if she was destined to be alone. Aye, she might not recall the fact that she was shunned from at least three different, possible homes, but that nagging feeling still t did not go away. Something about coming into a new place always put her on edge, made her feel like she would be shoved away the second that she did something wrong. Nox had been happy traveling alone - the way the wind had brushed against her coat, played with the waves in her tresses, it almost comforted her. The sun warmed her back in the crisp air as she dared to move closer and closer to stone and brick which towered over the lands from the southeast. It seemed to be a constant reminder that there was someone to watch over them - to take care of those who had fallen into the hands of Caligo's care. It was probably the best that such a large structure was the reminder. It would allow Nox to continually remind herself that there would always be others here. There would always be others that she would end up worrying about in the long run. That was how she was wired. Someone hurt? How badly? Could she help? If that was the case then she would do whatever she was capable of in order to help them Someone feeling down? She could listen to what ailed them, try and be the shoulder to cry on that they needed. Still, she had decided to move forward - closer and closer to the stone and brick that built up the Night Court. Aye, she had yet to hear of someone leading these lands - only seeing those who claimed to call this place their home. She was like those, though. She claimed that this land was her home but she had no strong ties to it. She had stumbled in, tried to make it her home, and here she was finally starting to get to the area that was the center of this land. Yet, all she could see was areas to hide - to start to hole away. She needed to reset. To try and deal with all of the new information which was being flooded toward her. Oh, it was crazy just how much she was trying to take in - to understand. This was all so new, and nothing truly seemed safe. Nothing seemed safe especially as the firelight flickered dully around her from the torches near her. Oh, it was eery. It was almost stressful. Something would jump out of every corner, from the shadows. So she tried her hardest in order to find the brightest spot. Twenty steps. Thirty. Forty. THERE! She collapsed up against the stone - feeling the cold from the brick sting against her hide. A reminder that she was alive - that she would have to move at some point. But for now, she would rest. She hadn't allowed her knees to buckle. No, she would rest on her hooves - just keeping most of her weight against the wall with the torchlight flickering above her. Eyes wide, ears at attention, waiting for someone to come closer - for something to jump out of the ever-moving shadows. @Noah || All else are welcome to join as well ^-^
