Your The Perfect Lullaby

[amria]

Dusk had set in painting my frame many hues. The Breeze cool to the touch cooled my ever tiring frame and yet I found strength to carry on. Each hoof was delicately placed on earths soil, matching my delicate frame and soft features. Orbs scanned the lands ahead as the breeze picked up my tresses and tossed them about. My nares caught the scent of others but they were already gone from the lands I now stood upon. I stopped with easy dipping my crown to the water, it was often said I was heavens delight. I never understood why everyone was created equally right?

Moving away from the water, I continued on my movements were effortless as I picked up a trot and then moved up word into a canter that covered the grounds. My hooves still hit the ground but not hard at all it was quite light, despite my height. I snorted and tossed my crown lightly, it felt like I was floating on air and no one could ever take that away from me. But this was reality after all, I slowed back down to a trot. I was really starting to tire but not finding any place good enough to stop, they were all to open for me which meant I would never get any sleep if I were to stop there.

I eventually settled on stopping under a tree, it was better then the open but still none the less in the open. I snorted and once again I stopped with easy and walked under the tree, I leaned against it but not falling asleep, I wanted no company but yet why was I here? If someone tried to approach me I would become so nervous I would faint and then what? I quietly Sighed not a peep escaped my kissers, I closed my orbs, Leaning against the tree, Hopefully I would be able to get some sleep and avoid others but some how I found that very hard and I knew it was not going to go my way.

Hypnos had finally come of age. He was finally three. Finally old enough to have his own lands. A safe haven for most any mare. He was young to be a lead, but he had his sights set on the gamma lands of Druugroot. But for now, something had drawn him to the claiming lands. Well, it was called the Werliin Field, but all the horses knew that a homeless mare wandered here until a stallion deemed them worthy... Hypnos rolled his eyes. No, it's not being worthy, it's whether or not a stag can use them for his own pleasures.

Greyed pillars carried him through the field. A filly caught his eyes. She's young... His gaze traveled over her frame. He took a deep breath and approached her. She's also frightened. Hypnos could see right through her mask. He put on one of his true smiles and spoke. "Ma'am...?" It was only a way to let her know he was there. To give her a feel of safety, he stayed well back. In no way did he mean the young fae harm. His smile was genuine.

"Howdy, the name's Hypnos. May I get your name?" Yes, he's a southern gent.

I was just getting into that really deep slumber, when I herd a nosie behind me, I turned my crown but nothing was there, I sighed I was over working myself once again.Relaxing once again, I closed my orbs yes sweet sleep finally. I sighed and shifted my weight slightly. I lowered my ebony and bold face crown slighty, Finding the spot that felt right in order for me to slip into an easy sleep, which is excactly what I did and it felt good not to be intruped by anything and actually start to catch up on my sleep. It was a good amount of time before I herd any other nosie only this time it was alot closer and it sounded like an equine.

I shifted un easily as he spoke, I turned to face him. Pawing the ground out of nervousness, Its n-nice to meet you Im Midnight Jewel, Jewel for short and before I knew it I was feeling weak in my pillars and my frame fell to the ground and I was out, the world around me black and I was lost in this world of blankness. Memories found there way into this and I wanted to call out for help but I could not, I felt for ever lost, But I knew I was not I had done this countless times before but sometimes it came so fast that even I was scared.

Soon Enough my lids opened and I was looking up at the sky, I knew not to stand to fast or else I may just go right back down, so I lifted my crown and turned so I was facing him My orbs were on the ground, I felt embarrsed that I had fainted but it was not my fault, ok yes it was but I could not control it, Im sorry about this it just happens when I get overly nervous or scared, It should not happen again and if it does at least you will know now. I sitll refused to hold any eye contact with him in fear that I may lose it. I sighed I was such a freak.

Hypnos looked at the filly he had just awoken. He almost felt bad. She looked like she didn't ever get a good sleep. Not hard to get back home... He thought. Never before had he wandered this field. It was a new thing for him, and he didn't like it. Mares weren't supposed to have nowhere to sleep safely. I'm taking her home, he thought resolutely. I'll keep her safe. He knickered in acknowledgement of her name. "Jewel...how nice." Another genuine smile lit his features.

That is, until she collapsed. He was at her side in an instant. Usually, he wouldn't invade another's space but this little lady had just fallen, out cold. He was sincerely concerned. He was standing over her when she came to. "Easy now...don't get up yet." He stayed where she'd have to move him in order to stand up. Hypnos smiled down at her again. "My mother used to do that...her heartrate would elevate and she'd pass out." He took a step away from her, out of the beauty's personal space. "Just relax."

I sighed quietly and allowed my crown to lower to the ground again, he was above me but I was trying to keep myself at bay,
not think about anything just the fact that I needed to stay calm and not lose it again. His words were like a lullaby, I stayed relaxed allowing my whole body to do the same thing my mind was. So I was not the only one that did this, Well thats a positive I chuckled a bit, I'm really sorry about this. I smiled and sighed I was really sorry that he had to see this and that I was not normal but at least he knew what it was seeing his mother did the same thing. I closed my orbs and took a deep breath in and then let it go, I knew he would not allow me to stand yet so I just laid there looking up at him.

I watched as he took a step away from me, Alright I think I'm going to try to stand, I stuck my feathered pillars out in front of me and pushed myself off the ground, I stood with my crown lowered a bit and shook my frame, I raised my crown and looked at him, I took a step toward him, I extended my boa and touched his shoulder before pulling back and looking at the ground, I felt embarrassed for doing that. Will you tell me a bit about your self? I looked at him and smiled. Scanning the lands around us I just wanted to make sure no one bad was coming, I had not slept peacefully sense I had showed.

I looked at him, waiting for him to speak. I walked closer to him I touched his cheek, Thank you for not leaving me. I smiled and touched his cheek again. I pulled back and my crown snapped around to behind me, hearing a noise one that sound like another equine, my sides were heaving as a rabbit came out from the brush, god I had to get out of here I was going to lose my mind with out the closer I needed, The only way out was to find a home and the only way for that to happen would be if Mr. right came along and I was not going to say anything to him but I felt like he was it.

Hypnos thought for a moment. How was he gonna get her home? She wasn't mentally ill. It would be wrong to lie to her. No, it would have to be up front and direct. He smiled as she stood. She'd be fine. It wasn't like this was the first time she'd been through it. Slowly, he took a protective step toward her delicate female frame. If she fell again, he'd try to steady her or at least lessen the crash.

Another smile crossed his features as she touched him in gratitude. "Of course I'd stay. What self-respecting stallion would run from a dame in need?" He spat in disgust. "I'd rather have those heads on a platter." Hypnos took a deep breath, calming himself. He truely did hate that breed of stag. Unfortunately, most males were like that. "The name's Hypnos. I'm the gamma lead of Druugroot, the earth elemental kingdom. It's beautiful there."

His smile widened. "You'll see; I plan on taking you there. It's about time you had a restful sleep. I'll take care of you." He brushed his velvets on her boa. It was merely a promise. He planned on keeping it.

I backed from him as he spat his words, crown lowered. I was pleading with myself, Im sorry, im sorry I muttered to him, but it was not me he was angry at it was the stallions who came here to install fear into us that he was angry at but as quickly as he had lost his cool he gained it again, I sighed a looked up at him. Listening to his words I'm sure his lands were beautiful but I'm sure I would not get to see them I mean really it would be true good to be true.

Then I watched as his smile widen, what was that suppose to mean? I backed more, scared that his gentle nature was just a set up and now the real stallion was going to come out and it was going to be a world of pain for me, I quietly watched him, my harks pricked toward him as he spoke his words, I was shocked. He was going to take me. I smiled and allowed his velvets touch my boa in a promise. I sighed relaxed once again, I will come. I yawned and shook my crown. I was tired and just need one night of good sleep, from traveling to here I never got more then thirty minuets of sleep, sometimes I did not sleep at all, it was just to nervracking to sleep.

Hypnos looked at her for a moment. She was frightened. For that matter, she was frightened at him. He took a step backwards. That wasn't right. There was no reason he wanted her to be afraid of him. No mare should have to live in fear of the stag that was going to protect her. He knickered, trying to calm her down. "I can't think of a reason for you to have to apologize to me, Jewel." He tried to smile again, showing the mare that he wouldn't harm her.

As she backed up, he held still. Approaching the dame would probably make things worse. He was experienced enough and courtious enough to give her the space she desired. After a moment, she spoke again. Her voice dripped the lyrics he was dying to hear. It was his que. She wasn't completely afraid anymore, and her body showed her exhaustion. Long pillars carried him to her side. "Don't be afraid...you're safe," he whispered gently. He ran his velvets across her neck in a caress.

He wasn't wanting her physically. Her scent was a perfume to his nares, and the Lead was familiarising himself with it. Slowly, he turned away fom her and began to walk away. "Home's this way, Midnight Jewel." His steps were proud and deliberate. Tall auds swivelled on a taller crown. He was ready for anything, it was his job afterall.
