| A gorgeous chestnut mare with black swirl like markings on her head, covering from under her eyes to her cheeks moved through the river glades.. Also from her nostrils to almost her eyes. The upper half of one of her front legs is covered in short white and black swirls. the other foreleg from shoulder to knee has a mixture of short and long curly white and black markings on it. One hindleg from hindquarters to hoof is covered in swirling black and white markings. The other back leg has a mixture of straight and swirling black and white markings upon it. Her eyes are an interesting almost acidic green. Her ram like horns and hooves are a deep earthy brown. Some stared at her, because she had never been seen before, but that was only something she knew herself. The icy tundra had been where she entered Freedoms Palace from, but that was the way she was. She had liked the ice, but unlike the others of her kind, she was not one for such a place. As she moved she sang a song, a song that only one stallion would hear and come to her because of. Like the penguin birds, every Solven had a song that would only ever attract one mate. Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts, Of men who need more than they get Daylight deals a bad hand, To a woman that has laid to many bets She sighed as she moved, knowing that at the moment, there was no one who was listening to her. She had sung this song too many times, too many times un noticed. It sucked for her, but she knew what she was doing at the moment. Usually another Solven would answer, but the song that the only other one in Freedoms Palace had did not work for her. The mirror stares you in the face and says Baby, uh uh it don’t work You say your prayers through you don’t care You dance and shake the hurt That was the part of the song that she mainly liked, it was the funnest bit for her to sing. yet still not stallion looked at her twice, at least,none of them answered her with a song of their own. Dance boogie wonderland Sometimes she wished that this would be a hell of a lot easier, for them to do. But at the moment someone seemed be eluding her. Would she send another year alone? Sound fly through the night I chase my vinyl drams to boogie wonderland I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
[center]All the love in the world can’t be gone All the need to be loved can’t be wrong All the records are playing And my heart keeps saying
[center]Boogie wonderland, wonderland Dance boogie wonderland Dance boogie wonderland now as she began her last set of words, she seemed exasperated. All the love in the world can’t be gone All the need to be loved can’t be wrong

| A majestic earth-pelted stallion moved slowly, almost lazily through the silent glades. Or maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration. It was quiet, not silent, for his sensitive harks could still fear the rustle of grass being crushed under his beige hooves, the chirping of the nearby crickets, the wind whistling through the branches of the ancient oaks…
It was a perfect summer’s day. A cloudless sky, blue as the vast ocean, spread out into eternity above his head, not a cloud in sight. The day was warm, but not unbearable. The land spread out all around him, and Troy reveled in that knowledge, reveled in knowing that should he have any indication to, he could instantly pick up his hooves and streak across the land like the winged equines of the old.
Filling his lungs with the sweet summer’s breeze, Troy wandered distractedly towards the murmuring of the river, standing at its very edge, looking down curiously at his reflection. He didn’t think there was anything special about him – a plain, earthy brown pelt. His mane and tail are a mixture of grey, brown and white. His two forelegs are white from the knees downwards, with black tic-tac-toe markings at the knees. The back legs are brown the whole way, with black 'tic-tac-toe' marks and a white slash parting the mark diagonally at the knee. His eyes, hooves and horns are a creamy-white. His eyes take on the shade of lace agate. White markings curve from the corner of his eyes towards the center of his face, stopping above each nostril. A black stripe parts his face into two, coming down his forehead all the way to the middle of his muzzle. His hindquarters have swirly, white markings, giving him a rather exotic look.
All in all – rather plain, he thought. He was nothing like those handsome, dashing stallions who caught every eye that set on them. Most of the time, he passed by, unnoticed.
Troy enjoyed his freedom, enjoyed having no responsibilities, no obligations to others except himself. But lately, he had grown restless, never staying in his place longer than one or two days. He was searching for something, and he knew exactly what it was he was searching for.
His mate. His life partner. His soul mate.
He had travelled through many different lands, singing his song, hoping to come across one who would be able to hear the lyrics meant for them. Sadly, none ever did. He would not give up, though. His mate was here, he just hadn’t found her yet.
Tearing his white-blue gaze away from the rippling water, he turned, walking off, his long tresses waving slightly in response to his movements. Just then, his ears pricked and pools widened with surprise and hope shot through him.
A beautiful soprano voice chiming the lyrics of a song softly and Troy didn’t wait for another moment. He shot off; body a mere blur, a dark flash, before he was gone. He had to see the mare. As he listened to the song, an involuntary smile curved upon his maw, and Troy tossed his long mane, picking up speed. Something nagged at the corner of his mind. The song was familiar… But he was sure he had not heard it before. Did he know the equine, then?
Stopping at the edge of a glade, Troy looked in curiously, seeing a beautiful chestnut mare, regal-looking, standing within, sunlight illuminating her pelt. The stallion caught his breath, raising his head and stepping in, eyes gleaming with warmth, kindles, laughter, joy and hope.
Opening his maw, his pure tenor voice sang out the lyrics. Though it was meant to be sung by a female, his voice added a whole new dimension to it. It weaved around the lyrics, pulling it, reshaping it, making it his. No one who had heard it before had not been captivated.
We were both young when I first saw you I close my eyes And the flashback starts I'm standing there On a balcony in summer air
Troy closed his pools, breathing in the summer air and thinking. How apt.
See the lights See the party, the ball gowns I see you make your way through the crowd And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles And my daddy said stay away from Juliet And I was crying on the staircase Begging you please don't go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess It's a love story baby just say yes
He fixed his pools hopefully on the beautiful fae, waiting to see if she could hear what he was singing. Say yes… Please…
So I sneak out to the garden to see you We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew So close your eyes Escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter And my daddy said stay away from Juliet But you were everything to me I was begging you please don't go and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess It's a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel This love is difficult, but it's real Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess It's a love story baby just say yes Oh oh
I got tired of waiting Wondering if you were ever coming around My faith in you is fading When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone I keep waiting for you but you never come Is this in my head? I don't know what to think He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
His eyes blazed with intensity, looking deep into her acid green pools.
And said, marry me Juliet You'll never have to be alone I love you and that's all I really know I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh, oh, oh, oh 'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
He stopped, letting the last note trail away into the air. A certain expectation waited in the glade as he waited for her to start. | |

| She'd heard the song coming from another's voice, and she knew that at last she had found the one that was for her. Too many years had she, the princess of the Solven run in solitude, unable to find one like her. Now though, she turned to look at the one who entered the glade, and started to sing. She blinked. He was nothing too spectacular to look at, but soon she seemed to notice the markings that adorned him. The words from his mouth though seemed to be a lure to her, and she could not move for a few seconds before she knew what she had to do. Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts, Of men who need more than they get Daylight deals a bad hand, To a woman that has laid to many bets She could not believe that he was finally here, the one that she was meant for. That was something that really elated her at the moment. There was nothing that could have been more important for her at the moment. One more verse she sang, and if he was the one for her, he would answer with the verse of her song after this second one. To which she would reply with one of his own All the love in the world can’t be gone All the need to be loved can’t be wrong All the records are playing And my heart keeps saying now she looked at him expectantly. She moved carefully around him, checking him out eagerly. Who was he? | |

| He listened, entranced, captivated by her sweet voice and enchanting melody, as she once again, staring at him, starting to sing. Troy could feel his heart leap with hopeful joy, blazing through his veins like molten fire. The muscles in his limbs clenched and unclenched, in a desperate en devour to keep him still, rooted to the spot. She needn't have sung it again, but it was tradition, he supposed. Already, it was as if he could feel a golden thread tying them both together, and as every syllable escaped her perfect maw, seemed to glow brighter and become stronger.
Their hearts, tied together, becoming one. They would live together, dream together, die together.
His cream pools noticed that she, too, was staring at him, seemingly captivated by his presence. A glow warmed his heart as he looked at the mare, pools glowing with warmth, affection and tenderness. As she drew to a close, Troy panicked for a second, the words eluding him for a moment. Before anything could happen, however, a flash of warmth enveloped him in its embrace, and quite suddenly, he began to sing, the words flowing easily out of his maw, rolling off the tip of his tongue.
Boogie wonderland, wonderland Dance boogie wonderland Dance boogie wonderland He laughed lightly at the seemingly nonsensical words, feeling as though a large weight had dropped form his shoulder. He felt free; alive. Tossing his mane playfully, he watched her as she circled, tipping his head lightly as he waited for her to answer with one of his verses.
She was gorgeous, but familiar, as though he recognised her, even though he wouldn't have had seen her before. Who was she?

| She knew as he sang that something was certainly tying them together. Things that made him all the more interesting to her. He was certainly handsome, and she definately liked him now. Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess It's a love story baby just say yes She knew that one word in particular she emphasised, but it was as if she wanted him to know who she really was. And it was true, she was a princess, to a certain extent. That was something that made her a little more inmportant than him, but she did not let that go to her head. No there was no one as caring as she was. She knew what was happening, she had been well trained. | |

| As the last note drifted away on a stray breeze, all was silent, and a certain sense of expectation and tension weighed heavily in the air. Troy stared intently at the gorgeous mare standing in front of him, his eyes shining and tender, amazed, even.
Stepping forward quietly, he bowed his head solemnly, before stepping back and surveying her with bright eyes. "M'lady," he murmured, voice smooth as velvet, lilting, seductive to her ears. So long he had waited... So far he had searched...
"I am called Troy. May I know the name so my princess?" | |

| She smiled as she saw him watching her with the same expression on his face as she knew was on hers. They both knew that they were meant to be with each other, else they would not have listened to each other's songs, would they?
"Airbourne Magic, I am known as," she replied, smiling at him once more. She knew that this was going to take her places that she had only dreamed of for so long. She was pleased though that he had finally come to her. "You took your time coming to me." | |

| "Pleasure," Troy murmured, inclining his head regally, as his dark eyes swept across hers and held them. "As you took your time," he laughed easily, moving cautiously closer to her.
"Where did you live before? Why did you come here?" Troy asked curiously, wondering if it were fate that led them together or it was just a simple coincidence. | |

| "I have been roaming the lands of ice, for it is there that I feel at home the most, as our kind were originally from such a place. It is a place where things never get too hot, nor too cold for our kind. I have already spoken to the kind there, Eispferdkonig and he has welcomed us all thre. After all, his type is what we were becoming not so long ago. There are few Solven left in the world now. Most have evolved into being Eispferd or Ice horses."
She smiled at him. "What do you say to that? I cam here because I felt that the one I sought would be ehre, and what do you know, you were here." | |
