Falls

The filly jumped at her voice and this caused Cherish to giggle. The bay coule hardly imagine herself as scary, but the roar of the falling water was loud maybe they hadn't heard her aproach. They hadn't turned in her direction until she spoke so that must have been why. Cherish's smile was wide as she laughed and watched the filly settle to her presence.

The bay filly starting walking her way and Cherish's expression of amusment lessened to one of adoration. She smiled softly to the young mare as she replied to her question. "Exploring is fun isn't it? It is one of my favorite things to do!" She quickly responded to the filly with excitment bubbled up again. She hasn't been allowed to explore in so long which ultimately caused her escape today.

The filly's next words brought Cherish's attention back to the burning mark on her chest. She attempted to pull her nose to her chest and scrunch up her neck in order to veiw the injury. "It does." She frowned, but the young girl's suggestion about the water made her wonder if it would help. Just how magical was this place?

Cherish hadn't noticed the state of the older mare when she first approached. That was expected from a mare like Cherish, but it was obvious the mother was hurt in some way. She saw this as they mare moved with a limp. Cherish titled her head to the side as the mother introduced herself as Macabre and her daughter as Wasp. "My name is Cherish and yes this is my first visit to the falls. It is so pretty." Her bright blues focus on the rushing water with amazement, her mouth hanging open.

It was a few minutes before she realized she lost her train of thought. Her eyes focused back on the female pair and she smiled again. "Wasp, it looks like your mom could use a dip in the water too." Cherish eyed her injuries for her moment before turning her attention to the water ahead. She started to walk towards the water edge, but stoped with one hoof hovering above the clear liquid.

She studied it for a moment before placing in the first hoof. Cold! She pulled back, giggled, and then tries again. This time she held her hoof in longer until she got used to the feeling. This process went on for a few minutes until her the water was up to her chest. She instantly felt the burn of the bruise subside and her eyes glowed with delight. "Wasp this is amazing! These waters must hold magical powers!"

She gasped. Was this whole place magical? Maybe that is why her parents had fell in love here and maybe this is where her life would change as well. Could these waters wash away all the memories she has repressed?
