Skulni walked, slight ly winded, into his terra. All was still quiet here. He felt fortunate that Yellow Sands had been spared thus far by the rain of fire. He turned to look at Dracona. "Welcome to my home, Dracona. I hope you find it to your liking." He almost laughed. It was not as if he would change terras if his wasn't satisfactory. He walked toward the oasis, enjoying the feeling of the soft sand shifting beneath his toes.

Dracona smiled, "it very well is Skulni." She looked around the desert, it was close to barren, but to her it was like a paradise. "Do you have many friends here, Skulni?" She asked before walking over to him and taking a drink of the oasis water.

Those Dreams are haunting back
Am I just on the same blood splated track
I feel well,
Just stuck in my shell
Next to the remains and memories of my love
His brother, and child.
Never can I be wild
Or Free, as I am stuck
In a shell, Hiding, from a killer
When she comes, not even I can tell.

The sounds of talking awoke Misha from her sleep, her eyes awaking to the brown blur of her foal, laying peacfully by her side. It was like a hang-over, did it really happen? Did she ever stop to realise that she was on the run? No, it was terrible. She couldn't abandon her foal. How could she? She was the last thing of the after math of the love between her and him. How she wish she would wake up to him, and the foal knowing that she was safe. As her vision cleared, and the foal yawned incoenctly, stretching as it managed to drag it self up. Misha, was unsure what to call her foal. She had the nickname of Ariadne. It was like Ryande abandoned her, but she felt close. Ariadne, that sounded fine. As she too arose, she heard another female. Much to young to sound like her mother, but sounded friendly. Ariadne had other plans though, skipping from Misha's sight. She, realising that the foal might bound into the pool raced behind.

Not knowing that they, as being the new mare and Skulni, were also at the pool, she skidded to a stop after Ariadne started to play in the water. Misha, stumbled, trying to pick herself up. The shimering blue dragon like creature, unable to stop slipping, managed to find herself head first in the water. Her foal gave a giggle, as it gracefully jumped over the powder blue mass. Her hooves managed to find the shallow bottom, heaving her dragon head out, her reptilian tail shaking off the water. The foal, still giggling raced beside her mother. Misha, still dizzy,managed to pass a "Hi" before collasping again, with Ariadne giggling still.

Skulni smiled, then shook with unsuccessfully contained laughter. Eventually he regained his composure enough to introduce the mares. "Dracona, this is Misha and her daughter, my niece. They are the only others living here with me." He looked at the soaked mare and foal. "You know, that looks nice." He murmured before splashing into the oasis himself.

Dracona gigled, "its very nice to meet you Misha." She looked down to the foal, "and what is her name?" She smiled looking back to Misha, "I will have a foal soon aswell." She smiled taking another drink of the fresh, clean water.

"Nice to meet you, my foal is called Ariadne. She isn't very old, so your foal and her might grow to be good friends!" Misha spoke as she managed to stand up as Ariadne played in the water and cantered towards the new mare, giggling a little as she bent over curiously. It was a pleasent day, after having a bad dream and making herself a fool infront of her brother-in-law and the new mare. "Who's the father? Bad one Misha, she could of have similar events to yours, for example the father may be dead!!"Ariadne's father was killed, so if you are like me..." her voice starting to fade off as he foal skipped to her side.

Ryan... half of her mind feel apart, again she noticed that a tear feel into the water. It was happening again. Why her? Doesn't anyone feel love? Why... Why...

Dracona wished to answer, it was hard at the time to get the strength to move on, and it still is. Then she spoke softly and timidly, "Rodian..." She sighed, tears forming in her eyes, "he-hes... Dead..." The tears overwhelmed her as she tried to forget about it once more, the tears slowly fell into the clear water, dissolving like they never existed. 'Oh Rodian... Why did you have to die?' Another tear fell into the oasis' water, dissolving like the others did. She looked over to the young filly, "Ariadne... What a pretty name..." She sighed before taking another drink.
