If I had you (OPEN)

[meyaness xD]

APOLLO
If i had you...

Black stilts grazed the ground as he started his wayward forward. Sapphire gems looked out to the kingdom he owned. Beautiful. Like him. Endless hills of thornless red roses softly caressed the sky, a masjestic cerulean blue.
In fact his throne resided way back behind the furthest hills, but in daylight he preferred to abandon it and just come to graze on the lushest roses and watch over his unfortunately nonexistent herd.
He wondered how Artemis was going with her earthly population. Apollo himself was not sure whether any potential subjects lingered in the lands. So far none had come to his domain.
Soon He assured himself.
Golden hues danced over the terrain, a mad run around the fields just for the heck of it. Banner waved high, it was a good way to burn off his excessive energy.
He ended the sprint with a high--spirited buck. Hind legs flew up in the air fo a brief moment of time before shotting back underneath his bod.

Auds twisted to the sound of coming hoofbeats and soon they were nearing him. Flicking tassels in impatience, he waited for the newcomer. Was it Hermes, his trusted friend? Was it Artemis, his fond sister? Or was it someone he was less than familiar with?

OOC- I promise the next one will be better >.<

[glow=red,2,300]Pandora[/glow]

I don't care what you think, just as long as its about me.....

Her hoof beats were slow and steady, composed and calm. Her mood was a rarity- and this was one of the few times she was peaceful- not dangerously angry. She was as unpredictable as fire- as feisty as flame... Yet she could also bring warmth and happiness. At this time she resembled the opposite of her usual form, for a smile lay upon her lips and her eyes were smiling- a genuine grin lay in her features.

Pandora blended well with her surroundings. Crimson roses flicked past her bodice- that was also the color of blood. Her pelt was as bright as the scarlet sun at sunset, but the contrast of her black feathers and banner clearly did not hide the fact she was there. The air around her smelt of nothingness. It was clean and fresh, with no scent of another. It had been a while since someone had walked these grounds.... She could tell.

She was in utter bliss, until suddenly an overwhelming scent came across her nares. She stopped suddenly, tiara held high and eyes flashing a deathly black. She breathed in and out, in and out, nares flaring and expressions showing nothing. She had made a mistake- this territory was not clean, for it was spread with the scent of another. And the scent told her that other was massive, strong, and witty.

The warrior now did not look so tender. If you came across her you would think her sweet at first- that was until you got close enough to see the scars that littered her form like mites. Her abdomen was swollen, and scorched with blackness- the biggest scar of all. It was a constant reminder of when her child was ripped from her stomach by a forest fire- a constant reminder of how much it changed her. Yet now- even the fire dared not bite her. She had become a master in her skill- and now the fire obeyed her every wish. Usually.

She made her decision quickly. She would sought out the leader of these lands, and if he was of her Element she would submit to him, asking to join the herd. If he was not... She would leave- or attack if he was rude or hostile. She walked stiffly now, still appearing calm, but a fire brewed inside her, just asking to be set free. She came closer, until she spotted his massive form. She approached him, ears flat against her head and red eyes glinting slightly. She stopped a few meters away, lifting her maw in the direction of the brutes face and letting smooth words run out.

"And who might you be?"

The best of us can find happiness in misery....

[meyaness xD]

APOLLO

cuz i'm here for your entertainment[/center]

Apollo could smell the sweet, floral scent of a female nearby. He took a huff at the air. It was not the serene, musky scent of his sister Artemis but of a newcomer. Was this stranger a fire equine? Was she a potential resident? Curiosity bubbled in his insides and auds twisted to collect the sound of approaching hoof beats. He turned towards the sound, his luxuriant ivory forelock tumbling down his face.

It was the middle of autumn, with the leaves turning yellow, red then black, departing from their source of life and left to die on the ground. Apollo personally disliked the season; the roses were not quite as tasty during this season, underfoot there was always sharp stones hidden underneath crunchy leaves and it meant that winter was approaching, the most hated season of all in the fire realms.

Eventually a crimson red mare presented herself out of the bushes. Apollo studied her with admiration. She had the smooth feminine curves and a proud head, and her eyes were glittering gems of spirit. He eyed the long black horn protruding out of her forelock with slight wary, but who was he to complain? He was a ruler of the Sleipnirs and he wore four legs himself, most of the time. She scanned him as well, hostility showing from her.

And who might you be? she asked, something of an aggressive tone.
He burst into friendly chuckles and arched his neck in pride.
I, my vixen, am Apollo, god of the fire realms
He stretched his muzzle forward in greeting.
And who might you be, I ask?
He looked at her with expectant deep sapphire orbs. He was quite interested of whom this scarlet mare was, and he hoped she would sometime be here with him.

[DANNY:]]

Apollo?

Her breath came out in a gasp as she spoke, and her eyes widened in amazement. So this was the brute who had created all things fire? The reason for the fire that grew within her?

My god, I honor you. Fire is my Element, and I love it with all my heart. Do you own this territory? Is this the land of fire?

To be blunt, she had thought the land of fire would be burnt and black, but the actual place seemed to be lively and bright. Anyways- she liked it better that way, for some reason. It was surely odd for Pandora to admire the beauty of nature- she usually took pleasure in destroying it- but this time it was different. The grass and the flowers that blew around her slightly shook the beat that had lay within her for so long, trying to squeeze out the more tender side of her personality. But no, she would not give in. The dream like smile that had crawled upon her face now forced itself into an uncomfortable frown, and she looked at the floor, hot, tired, and unrested. She had come a long way and she wished not to falter now- yet she had achieved her mission and longed for sleep.

May I join your herd? She sighed this question, but used power to bring it from her heart. This was what she wanted more than anything. Before he could reply she quickly stated: If you accept, I would be more than grateful to be allowed to rest.

OOC: Sorry. Kind of crappy post, but I was tired.

[meyaness xD]

He was rather surprised at her gasp and his head jerked back ever so slightly.
Apollo?
Admiration flowed into her tone and in her orbs. A smile surved across his maw gently. Was she an admirer? That was new. He wouldn't mind her to reside here in the masses of Red Roses. It was a very large terra and it was never meant for just one. It was for tens, even hundreds of horses; fire equines of course. Any other elemential equine would never be able to withstand the temperatures for more than a week.

My god, I honor you. Fire is my Element, and I love it with all my heart. Do you own this territory? Is this the land of fire?
He purposely unlocked his eyes from her and made them wander over the gently rolling hills and the scarlet roses, just as rich as the vixen's coat color.
I beleive it is, my dear, as you fit right into it
It was a true statement. As he noted before she blended with the surroundings and she did not look as if she was sweltering in it. Soon her smile turned into a tired grimace and she politely asked
May I join your herd? If you accept, I would be more than grateful to be allowed to rest
Another chuckle rang out into the air
I don't think it should be called a herd yet, my dear. You are the second to arrive here, but of course you are accepted
He paused
One thing. May I know your name?

[DANNY:]]

Tiny, orange flames leapt in her eyes as he spoke, for he was everything she had expected and more. He was fiery in both appearance and nature, and she smiled for once, replacing her usual frown for a half-hearted grin. It spread even wider as he accept her into the herd, and she bowed fluently, swaying her chiseled cranium up and down in one elegant movement. He asked of her name and of course she replied, anxious of his reaction to the strange title. Pandora was the name that was given to me as a yearling, but the name I was born with I do not know, so you may call me Pandora, as that is the curse I have lived with for most of my life.

A challenging smile lit up upon her features, and she cantered round him once, before galloping off into the Field of luscious roses, hooves digging into the dirt and pulling up again with as little effort or friction as she would have had walking. She had longed to run freely since she had stopped, and now she was back in the swing of things she did not want to let go of the feeling of life running through her veins as she ran. The vixen stopped hastily, before galloping back again, stopping a few meters away from Apollo. The land you have chosen is beautiful. It is a pity we have no others to share it with. Perhaps more will come soon- I will scout the borders for other equines, and if they are foe I will deal with them swiftly, or Friends I will deliver them to you if you have not already witnessed their arrival. Do I have your acceptance?.

[meyaness xD]

He was happy at what he had found, or rather, what had found him. He and the fellow gods had found this mystical land long ago, and it had taken a while of which land was whom's and a few mild arguments. Soon everyone had settled in their kingdom and took regular trips to the roamers lands to find an equine with the elements they ruled. Apollo hadn't been as patient as the others, as he craved socialising more than most of the gods. Artemis was a proudly independent mare, and while he was perfectly capable of holding his own life, he much preferred to share it with others.

Something about this vixen made him think not many got this treatment from her.
Pandora was the name that was given to me as a yearling, but the name I was born with I do not know, so you may call me Pandora, as that is the curse I have lived with for most of my life

Pandora. A name he had always liked. Hopefully she would never open the box of horrors like the original did. To his surprise she was bowing. When she straightened a playful smile was upon her kissers. The next thing he saw was roses flung into the air by her daggers.
He chuckled, as the sound hit the airwaves, something sprouted just behind his right foreleg. Odd enough, it grew into a golden stilt, complete with fiery black stockings. Another three grew around the other legs. Sleipnir were the swiftest of horses, maybe excepting the pegasi when in flight. He set off at a sprint, skidding to a halt when she stopped and galloped back to him only a few metres away.

The land you have chosen is beautiful. It is a pity we have no others to share it with. Perhaps more will come soon- I will scout the borders for other equines, and if they are foe I will deal with them swiftly, or Friends I will deliver them to you if you have not already witnessed their arrival. Do I have your acceptance?

He lowered his head in a bow.
Yes, Pandora. I shall accompany you being a scout until we have a suitable amount. But rest, you look tired first

[DANNY:]]

She nodded to her king, grateful that he was as valiant and fair as the stories she had caught whispered on the breeze. She now had a place in the herd and would honor it graciously. The strange femme maneuvered her body until they were almost touching, before reaching out a dainty- yet scared- muzzle and touching it lightly on his shoulder. I will rest, Lord of fire. and with that, she took up her hooves and trotted a few paces. She paused, turning her cranium back towards his form, and speaking words of farewell. Until we meet again, Apollo. and then the vixen was swept away by the wind, merely a whisper among the trees as her footsteps grew softer and softer and- silent.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pandora galloped further and further into the fire realm, hot breath shaking out from in front of her as she moved. Eventually she found the refuge of a large tree, and her sparkling red form curled underneath it with a final sigh as she drifted off to sleep. Pale lids closed firmly yet gently, and she dreamed of burning chimeras and screaming nightmares, running from her with tired-out expressions and bloody hides. But other dreams always shimmered behind those ones, dreams of her running happily among red roses and a herd that loved her as she loved them in return.
