ALICE
[/size][/right][/blockquote]Dark angel fallen , is what they would say. But a dark angel was already fallen to be what it was ,right? Maybe.Maybe not. You decide for yourself , in time that you may be unfortunate enough to meet her. Yes...You would be fearing a mare.Not just any mare. A mare who most knew the stay away from , a mare who seemed so dark and so cruel that most would not even glance into her eyes for fear of the sick and twisted wonderland that lay within. Wonderland always sounds so so plesant , now doesnt it? Well , As plesant as the word Wonderland sounds the 'Wonderland' of her mind was not at all anything near plesant.It was a sick , twisted , cruel place where light rarely light up the darkened shadows of her mind. No I am not saying she is stupid , Idiot!Im saying stepping foot inot her mind is something you never want to do because of what you would find. Things were twisted , lost from reality in it. Wait ,wait ,wait. THey were not lsot from reality , merely their own reality in itself. Yes , It could get so insane , so off track from the real world that she became her own reality. Her own world where things were twisted and cruel. No , She ahd not always been like this. Never was she always like this. Alice used to be kind. Alice used to be the light being that oversaw the land , judging fights between stallions , knowing everyone , knowing every detail about the lands , and using those things to the best extend of those who needed it. But power had driven her mad in a way. Sayonce , the first mare she had come to know in the lands ,when there was onlyasmall , sturggling herd, knew what was happeningto Alice.SHe was going insane. Just with evrything. But , no one knew why! Not the true reason. Most thought it was because of stress , power , thast kind of thing , but they had no idea what was really going on! And no youfool , im not going to tell you. Youre going to have to find out on your own , if you can get her to tell you. Maybe Alice was never meant to gatherothers to this land, makingit thrive again,maybe the landwassuposed to die.Just rot,sunlight rare and precious to the fools who still lived there. Something was on coming. Something was going to happen. Horses were going to die. Humans as well maybe. Many would suffer. None would know who to trust anymore , everything would be messed up , mixed up. Those who you thought were your allies would betry you. Everyone who you loved you would hate. Everything would go wrong.Few would survive. But maybe....If she told . that would be stopped. Maybe then they would know what was going to happen. But , no! She would never tell. Now ,have funt rying to figure out if everything you jsut read was this reality , or her reality. Yeah , that all could have been in her mind only.That all could have been this reality though. You could have to fear for your life. But no , it could jsut be her own sick , twisted mind. Dont you just love suspence? Well now , I supose soon , you will find your answer.
Golden painted femmene stared out at the beach , watching the waves turn , rising and falling into eachother , creating foam that washed up on the sandy shores , bubbles formed in them. And she stared out from the cliff , with her eyes focused on nothing. Now the filly was fully grown , four years of age. Now , beautiful was not what you used to describe her. Beauty was lush . But she was not beautiful ,cute was what you would call her. With her long , slightly curled mane and tail , gold hide , and teasing blue eyes , she was not beautiful but cute. Her eyes were off in the distance , trained on something yet nothing. Whispers of the world around her known as wind blew her tassels out , splaying across her pelt , tickling her.Yet she was still as stone , frozen in place , yet not. Her cage rose and fell softly with her breathing , her presense barely noteable when she was so still and silent.Usually Alice was entergetic , playful and talkitive , or atleast she had been. No one had seen her in quite a while , not even Rebel , who was her...Her what?Her mate?No , not mate exactly. They had never said they were mates.They had jsut spent much time together , and nuzzled sometimes. That could jsut be a friendship. Just a friendship could be all...Or could it? Well , it didnt matter now. Not even Rebel would want her around now , most likely. Or so was her thinking. Why would anyone ,anyone want a ghostly seeming , fallen fea? Fallen.Theres that word again. Not fallen exactly. She was still her.Still Alice. Well , atleast her name was still Alice. And she looked the same. Id like to say she acted the same , but I would be lying , now wouldnt I? She shifted , lifting up her pillars. She moved forward , just and inch form the edge , and stared down coldly at the crashing waves below. The mares body shuddered as the acrtic winds of the mourning hit ehr chassi. The sun was rising , painting the sky with purple , blue , pink , and orange hues. The sun was slipping out from under the sparkling ocean , the tangy taste of salt thick in the air. Sea gulls flew above , landing on the shore and walking about. Their feet left forked prints in the sand.Some of them were bobbing their head like ' Yes , yes I agree! ' You see , these ones seemed to be very agreeable birds , dont you think? Sigh admitted from her cage , expelling out her slightly darker maw. Honey toned bodice was washed with the light of the rising flaming orb , as she turned away from the sea , more cold breeze hitting herv , but she didnt shudder again.
Remember when I said she seemed dark and cruel?Only seemed! She was now ehre near dark and cruel. Okay , maybe the dark part she was near. She was bordering on dakr and light , but somehow was not even nuetral. In fact she was not cruel.When no one was looking , she would do something kind. Like the day before. A colt , only six months , had been trying to get a big red apple for a filly he happened to like. But , as the tree was tall and he was small he could not reach it. He gave and walked away to try another tree. Alice , once he was gone , had picked it and left it on the ground by the tree.Later when the colt returned , he thought it had fallen. He had happily taken it and given it to the filly. That was the kind fo stuff no one knew she did , or atleast she thought no one did.If someone did then it had been purely by accident. For Alice didnt exactly want others thinking she was really what she was , kind. Yes , yes , so what if she was a bit on the insane side? Incase you didnt notice many horses here arent sane. Some of them driven crazy by powers from the springs , some driven crazy from wanting powers , and others...Others had become victoms of the lies.... Yes. There is things hidden here.Things no one knows about. You dont notice if you dont open your eyes. Keep looking my friend...You may jsut find a great secret, or a horrible curse.... But , now you dont need to know about those things , now do you? You dont want to know is more like it. Yes , everything seemed peaceful and such , but actaully there was so , so many lies hidden. So many secrets kept. And things going on that no one even knew about.But Alice. She knew everything that went on in the lands. She knew every heart broken. Every battle fought. Every lie told. EVery secret kept. She knew all the others in the land better than she even knew herself. She rarely gave herself thought. Part of her , just a small part , was missing her friend. Rebel. She missed playing , and galloping and racing together. But she reminded herself they had both been young then. He might have a mate and foal by now. As much as the thought silently wounded Alice she accepted that possibitily , and stood , staring out at everything , everyone. Yet , this world was not hers. This place was merely...Just that. A place. Boa was acrched , craining up her dial , ribbons tossing in the breezes , dancing about as they fell into her face and covered her blue eyes , eyes that were once playful and mechivous but now were just.....Eyes. Tendons flexed , bringing her chassi forward into a trot , moving from the cliffs edge. She advanced into a gallop soon , daggers leaving dainty yet strong prints in the earth's skin as she moved forward. Once about twety yards away the mare pivoted around on her hinds , kicking off the ground with power from her stocky build.
She was going towards the cliff again now , going faster and faster.Too fast. It seemed she would not stop and would fly over the edge at any moment , as she didnt sem tobe slowing even as she neared the cliff. The fea would not be trying to kill herself , owuld she?Sweat was foming on her working bodice , muscles expanding and unexpanding under her skin , coated by her hide of golden hue. Breaths were heavy now as she neared the edge. Just when it seemed she would take a leap of faith off the edge , plummeting to her dimise , she yanked back , throwing her dial up , pillars sliding forward slightly so she would not go over. Hinds were out slightly , to hold her with the sudden stop. Weight was thrown onto her back pillars , dial tossing high into the air , tassels that had been in her face falling onto her chrest , and a loud , long cry echoed from her cage , expelling out her maw , and booming over the beach , over the glimmering ocean. Sea gulls stopping their calling , as if heeding to Alice's cry. Sharp , deadly diamonds pawed the air , and she came down hard on the earth like ti was a creature she wanted dead.The iced winds hit her , as her warmed chassi stood , head held high , thorns pricked atop her crown , serpintine sweetly curved.Her mane was slightly tangaled from the winds that hit her , dancing out in the air once more as the air struck. She snorted in annoyece , and looked out over the cliff once more. Front left diamond was lifted , bended at the knee and struck hard against the ground , pushing into the skin of the earth , stabbing it as she stomped it down ,and stood still , looking out . Waiting , watching.
