You stand, quietly shivering, in the dark, seeing nothing about you but the stars. You jump at every noise, especially the neigh that sounds seemingly from right behind you. You start and whirl around to see a beautiful Serian standing and staring back at you. Your fear instantly dissolves as you admire this creature. It snorts and paws the ground, obviously not meaning harm, but trying to make an impression.
You smile and introduce yourself, and it settles and bobs it's head, "I am Dazzle, and I am of the night..." she emphatically holds absurdly still and you watch, astounded, as the night seemingly folds around her and she blends with the dark. You wonder at this technique--it doesn't seem possible since the user is so purple--and reach out to make sure she's still there, unfortunately, she starts and darts away, and it's a couple minutes before she ventures nervously back out. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you--" you start, but stop as she shakes her head and snorts, "I didn't think you could see me when I did that," she says disappointedly, and you immediately respond, "but I couldn't! That's why I reached out--I wanted to make sure you were still there." Her head raises higher and he smiles, well, as much as an equine can smile, and tosses her head again, whinnying sharp and clear through the night. She is answered by a second whinny, deeper and more powerful, and a stallion charges into the clearing. He stops and walks quietly over to Dazzle, then turns to face you, acknowledging your presence with a single nod and the word, "traveler." Dazzle looks at him and laughs, "this is Slash, and my only true companion here." She grins at him and he glares at her, and she laughs again, then gallops away, blending with the dark. He chases her, his mane and tail streaming with the wind, but he stands out against the dark. You smaile, and as the last streak of yellow and blue disappears, head back.
