Falls

Darkness shrouds the crossing Isle, only a sliver of moonlight illuminates her path. She steps lightly from the ocean's bubbling surf as it gurgles and hisses beneath her. She wanders up the beach, her hooves tread through the sands, her hoofprints the only sign that she had even been there. Ears rotate atop her crown, she listens for the steps of another, she was unsure of who or what she would come across on the Isles.

As she steps into the cover of the forest, the shadows grow longer. She follows the well worn path that leads from the ocean, a faint roar reaches her rotating ears. She had heard of this place, but had never ventured here. Father had spoke of the Falls, he had said it was a magical place. She smiles fondly at the thought of her Father, he had always been there for her. Until recently, she sighs. She knew that one day she would have to leave Paradise and venture on her own, she had just expected him to be with her.

The roar becomes deafening as the forest thins and opens up into a grassy clearing. She halts for a brief moment, her eyes eagerly drink in the breathtaking view. Her tail flicks over her hindquarters as she dances closer on her toes. She can feel the chill in the air, as it wraps itself around the dancing pale mare. Without hesitation, she ventures close to the pool, until her toes at the waters edge. She gazes down at her reflection, the face of a young mare stares back at her. She quietly admires the soft delicate curves of her bones, and the bicolored eyes, one from her mother and one from her father. She sighs a soft whisper.

Before her gaze floats to the heavens, as she whispers a prayer. Wherever they are, please keep them safe. A smile touches her pink lips as the prayer leaves her mouth.
