She's always been a dreamer
but her dreams don't come true
She's wished on a million stars
but her stars never fall

Still she's a believer
She can see rainbows
when the sun is out of sight
She can find the moon
even on a cloudy night

She follows hope through the darkness
laughing as she dances away misery

- Lovella Torendo (LT), "always a dreamer"

“Not here? You mean Mr. Grey lost her?” my voice is one of shocked disbelief and an undertone that reaches as close to displeasure as my words ever can. “I should have told her I didn’t like his name… it doesn’t sound friendly,” this statement is followed by a snort indicating how bothered I am. I am tempted to go charging through the sands calling out for my lost friend but I don’t want Allouette to think I’m not happy to see her to. Then something else she said comes to my attention, “wait, this Helios of yours rules here now and there was no one else about when you came? Hmmm… maybe Mr. G went to look for her then. Or maybe they moved…”

Yes, maybe I’ll just have to look elsewhere or ask the Keeper or something like that. Aaron roles his eyes at me but offers silent reassurance, “Cosmo is a cat, he’ll keep her out of trouble.” I shake my head at this and return all attention to Allouette, “well, I found you anyway! This is your home now? It’s awfully pretty and warm! Do you like it? Oh, wait… of course you like it, you said the area bordering the Oasis was your favorite part of the Forest!” I give a little sideways hop of pure excitement at his, for I am profoundly happy to know that my friend has found such a wonderful place for herself. Wonderful assuming that this Helios is a good stallion but I’m guessing Ally wouldn’t be here if he were anything else. “I’ve a home now too, in the Hushed Woods with Dante, Adeline, Aegle, my son and some others. You should come visit us sometime!”

For a minute my gaze drifts back to the sky checking the progress of the blazing stars and then I remember why I’d expected to meet Allouette on the boarder. We were going to the caves! It is almost summer now surely things have melted enough that we won’t be in danger of drowning at least. Maybe the Mountains will just have to wait a little while longer. “So, when are we going on our adventure?”

Call me KORALYNNE for that is my name. They say my 15.2hh, BLUE ROAN coated, FEMALE person is an eye catching sight. Trust the kindness in my gaze for these SIX short years of life have not taken it away. Recognize my breeding as a mix of AKHAL-TEKE, ARABIAN & MUSTANG. I remember my parents as SHIFT & RABBA of a land far behind me. Connect me with AARON the LEOPARD coated OCELOT MALE axian of skill level 6 my better half and link to the element of AIR in which we are pursuing the LIGHTENING (6/14) tree with the --- tree(s) completed. Look for me in HUSHED WOODS (?) for it is there I reside. Place me in the court of DANTE (?) under the title of THE LAITY (?) and trace my blood down to GLARTHIAR [x Schindler]. The MALE child GLARTHIAR is a EIGHT MONTH OLD of BLUE ROAN coating. He carries HALF MY BLOOD along with a FRIESIAN HALF from his father and will likely grow to at least 16.0hh. He travels with the FEMALE axian TORNA of skill level 2 and the element ---. Our strings are pulled by the beautiful TZARRA who should be credited with both our creation and our words. green*star (a.k.a JAR2431) of Avenion & DA is the painter of my portrait.
