A breath of wind can b l o w you a w a y ~Twilight

[ღBlackHeart;ღ[bbs]]

BlackHeart stood proud and erect on top of the gusty cliff top, vicious winds bit at her delicate hocks and spat on her glistening coat. The day was black, there had been no sunlight for many moons now, but that was the way she liked it. On lower ground, by the lake and at the Graveyard, the atmosphere was still, not a breath of wind to break the thick silence that hung in the air. There were hardly any creatures here for now, nor any humans to speak of. Ugh. Humans. No creature BlackHeart knew of had anything against humans, it seemed it was just the Unicorns that looked upon this inferior race with the distaste that she felt they deserved. The Vampires liked them for food, the gargoyles were featured on many 'great' buildings built by humans, which made them feel special, even the dignified Phoenix was proud to be featured in novels and such. Pah. Idiots.

But BlackHeart of course wasn't here to see a Gargoyle, or a Phoenix or Vampire, but another dignified Unicorn such as herself. She had heard tell from a Serpant at the edge of the Human's place that there was a white Unicorn, named Twilight, who was a newcomer to this area. The black mare had sent a messenger to find this other equine to meet her at the Cliff top, at the time which would have been sunrise, of course if they had any sun.

Twilight approached the top of the towering cliff. Her mane blew with the gusty wind, making her squint her eyes slightly. She spotted a beautiful, black unicorn.. the first unicorn she had seen since she arrived at her new home. She trotted over near her, with hope that the mare would notice her. A heavy wind blew dust in her nose and eyes, she snorted and shaked her head back and fourth and as she opened her eyes, the unicorn was staring kindly into her eyes.. she was spotted.

BlackHeart turned her finely shaped head as velvety ears picked up the steady hoofbeats behind her, This must be her. BlackHeart thought to herself. The mare was well built, with an arched neck and flowing tail that streamed behind her as she cantered up the steep incline, and no stains or marks showed on the immaculate gleaming coat. Twilight was like a moonstone among flint, her coat contrasting against BlackHeart's own jet black one.

BlackHeart stepped forward to meet the newcomer, and bowed her head to the other mare as is how Unicorn's greet each other. BlackHeart's own horn touching Twilight's, causing a brilliant spark that lit the surroundings for a brief moment.

[რ Twilight xX]

Twilight bowed her head then raised it to watch the fantastic sparkles circle around them as their delicate horns touched. She grinned and softly whispered You can call me Twlight.. She glanced at her beautiful jet black coat that sparkled slightly everytime she flinched. She is my friend, my new.. only.. friend.

[ღBlackHeart;ღ[bbs]]

Greetings, Twilight. My name is BlackHeart, and I am lead mare of the Unicorn Glade, which is where you shall reside with me I imagine. BlackHeart smiled to herself as she remembered the events from earlier that morning, where she had claimed the uninhabited land as her own, claimed it for the Unicorns. It had been a hard battle, she admitted, but she was proud to have fought for her territory.

[რ Twilight xX]

Yes, I will reside with you in the Unicorn Glade! Twlight answered boldly. She felt safe when BlackHeart was around, without her she felt lonely and nervous. She gazed up at the sky, the misty grey clouds were blocking the sun from producing any light on the cliff. But for her, that's how she liked it. Are we the only two unicorns here? She asked BlackHeart, curiously awaiting an answer.

[ღBlackHeart;ღ[bbs]]

Well that is good. BlackHeart nodded her fine head, causing her long forelock to fall over her eyes. It is nice to have company. The fine black mare saw Twilight gaze up at the thick cloud above them, no light at all managed to pierce through the dense cloak of it. Although BlackHeart loved the night, she couldn't help but hope that soon the cloud should clear and let the sun pierce through once more. It was getting tiresome having no day.

[რ Twilight xX]

Yeah, I'm not used to company.. I have been alone for most of my life so far.. wishing I had someone to talk to. Twilight sighed, she tried not to think of the past but for some reason it kept swinging into her mind at unexpected moments. I wonder how BlackHeart got here.. maybe I should ask, but maybe not. Twilight thought hard as she gazed up to the clouds again. Tiny, pale yellow stars were creeping their way infront of the clouds, lighting up the gloomy looking sky. Tomorrow should be nice.

[ღBlackHeart;ღ[bbs]]

BlackHeart didn't reply to Twilight's comment, just nodded in a way that meant more than words. She didn't particulary want the conversation to lead onto what happened with her, to be honest she had never got over her dam's death. Her mother was a white Unicorn who resembled Twilight in an uncanny way, her father too was white, but of black lineage. Black's were increasingly rare nowadays, blacks in unprotected areas being hunted for the 'Black Magic' their horn was supposed to posess. Of course BlackHeart didn't believe that the colour of the Unicorn had anything to do with the power it's horn posessed, there was a colour difference, and that was all.

[რ Twilight xX]

Twilight sensed that this was a sensitive topic for BlackHeart and she clearly did not want to speak about it. She watched BlackHeart lower her head and her face looked hurt and upset, Twilight was flustered and quickly changed the topic. So, are we the only two unicorns in the Unicorn's Glade? She spat the words out so fast, she hated seeing BlackHeart upset and hoped that BlackHeart would perk up and forget about the previous question she was asked.

[ღBlackHeart;ღ[bbs]]

Twilight seemed to know that the topic was a painful one, and luckily changed the subject to something that BlackHeart was much more enthusiastic about. Yes, I think so, for now we are. It was true, there was only her and Twilight in the vast glade that exceeded 100 acres for the minute, but BlackHeart hoped that eventually there would be a herd residing there, and finally raise some foals of her own. The black mare tossed her crania, thick silky mane falling tousled over the arched neck, as she added proudly, Places like our Glade don't come easily, you have to fight for what you want.

[რ Twilight xX]

Twilight nodded and her pastlife crept into her mind. She bowed her head and whispered in the wind Yeah, you have to fight for it.. They both stared at the jagged ground for a brief moment until a gust of wind blew more dust from the rocky ground into their eyes. Twilight shoke her head lightly and sighed as she saw the sun gliding out from behind the grey blanket of clouds.
