Completed New Beginnings

[Daishira]

15th, Fall, 512AV - 15:00
Edge of Endrykas

Daishira pulled on the reins and brought his Sungold horse to a smooth stop. Her hooves that were pounding amongst the leaves gradually reclined and the noise of crunching leaves fell silent. Daishira inhaled, took in the autumnal air and smiled. He dismounted, breaking the silence once more, and patted Holly. She responded with a bray and inclined her head towards him. As Daishira took in the surroundings, he saw

[Kai]

Afternoons with her strider made every day special for Kai. For the bond the two shared was a strong one indeed. Love at first sight, almost.

Papus was a large mare. One of impressive posture and untold majesty. Such a fine, athletic horse was hard to come by these days. Riding bare back again, despite all the warnings with which her father constantly filled her head, Kai had just returned from a mid afternoon stroll though the Sea of Grass. She was not spouse to ride out alone, but what her family didn't know would not hurt her.

Kicking Papus into a hard gallop, the two ripped like lightning bolts though the air, stopping abruptly at the very edge of the tents.That was when Kai noticed a second figure at the outskirts of the moving city. Initially she thoughts nothing of it. Just a man on a horse, Endrykas was filled with them

[Daishira]

As Daishira took in the surroundings, he saw a row of tents. The whole city must be filled with them, he thought. After a few more moments of taking in the beautiful scenery, Daishira saw another character amongst the tents. To him, he was just a silhouette, but he was eager to start a new life in this city, and that meant talking to the locals.
"Hey!" Daishira called out to the stranger. "Hey! I might need some help!"
He walked towards the silhouette and tugged on Holly's bridle to follow.

[Kai]

For a moment Kai thought it was the voice of her brother calling. She was about to kick Papus into a sturdy gallop once again and weave though the tents in attempted to escape; when she realised that the voice lacked the distinct accent of her brother's. With a sudden outburst of curiosity, she turned Papus around to face the rider. "How may I help you sir?" she asked with a polite smile, discovering that is was indeed not her brother.

[Daishira]

Daishira glanced a cursory glance at the pretty Drykas. The first things he noticed were her decorations in her hair: those purple beads in combination with the glass beads; the ribbons adding flavour to her hair; and the overall messiness. That's a shame, thought Daishira, she could look so much prettier if it was managed right, she must have more important things to do.
"Hi there, I'm Daishira. And you are...?"

[Kai]

Kai laughed sweetly at the stranger's openness. It was refreshing to meet someone who did not react to everything with suspicion, for she was not a suspicious individual. Slipping gracefully off the back of her strider, she took a couple of steps forward. "My name is Kai." she smiled. "Lovely to meet you mr Daishira. Are you new in Endrykas? I don't believe I've seen you around before."

[Daishira]

Daishira let out a little chuckle following Kai's laugh. This is nice, someone who's actually friendly for a change.
"Yes, Kai, I am new actually. I was hoping to just get to grips around this place. It looks lovely, much more open, unlike the cities around Mizahar. I like the freedom. Could you maybe show me around?"
Daishira curved a sweet smile at the last sentence and presented a warm, friendly vibe. I need to settle in here. To get away. Away from the horrors of my past...

[Kai]

"Ah well, there really isn't much to Endrykas. That there is my pavilion, where me and my family live. Around the edge s you're most likely to find smaller pavilions like hours." she pointed to a complex of tents which was decorated with purple insignia. The purple was a sign of the Amethyst clan. The clan of the greatest horse men of Mizahar. A clan she was proud to be a part of. "The at the centre there is the market. However most of the exciting sales are yet to happen. But truly, shall you ever be in need of real food I invite you to our pavilion personally. My youngest brother is a magnificent cook."

[Daishira]

Daishira's stomach tugged at the thought of food. "Um, I don't mean to be too hasty, but, I could use some food."
He pulled a half-sorry, half-desperate face at Kai, trying not to be too intrusive. He grew extremely tiresome of the rations he'd been living on in the wild. He noticed that the purple bead matched the purple insignia on that tent over there and saved this for conversation at dinner.

[Kai]

"Well, we shall better tie your horses up by the tents. Come on." She once again climbed on the back of her massive mare. Kai indeed looked very small comparing to the majestic horse.

Once at the pavilion, a spicy sent of stew filled their nostrils. Most of the family were probably hunting now; and Kai was disappointed that once again she missed on the opportunity. She had handy with a bow and quiver after all. But the over protectiveness of her father knew no boundaries.

"Hello Kai, you missed the gathering. Father and mother are taking our brothers hunting. We were looking for you, but you were probably out in the Sea of Grass again weren't you? Never mind. Dinner is nearly ready..." It was the voice of Kaleb, her youngest brother. He was only a year older than she was, yet everyone considered him the mature on in the family. He hovered over pots in the centre of the large tent, with his back to them.

Kai hurled her little body at her brother, wrapping her arms around him."Hello brother. We have a guest, would you mind cooking up a pot for him too?"

Kaleb looked up at the new comer, sweeping his dark hair from his eyes. "Oh of course." he said. "Welcome."
