Ethereal Forest
----
Pebbles shift and crunch under my feet, the sun is sinking over the snow dotted mountains in the far off distance. The wind is chilled for a time that is supposed to be late summer. Not that I'm complaining, I can feel the wind through my hair and the scent of snow filling my nostrils.
The pebbles began to glow blue.
"The sun has set."
Out of the corner of my eye I glance towards Nightmare and Esdeath, the air crackles. The glow softly dances up at us, illuminating us into sweet radiance. Leaves delicately rustled by chilled wind.
"Where do we go now?" I ask, my senses are alive. Their hair flows around them like wings meant to carry them higher, the moon so ripe and full. My body so energized I feel like I could leap towards it with one push of my legs.
"The forest, of course," Esdeath answers. She brushes a strand of silky blue hair out of her face with a precise finger.
"There is nothing to fear," Nightmare reassures, stepping forward, pebbles crunching underhoof. The illumination is especially flattering on them. Purple, blue and white mingling together.
"I know," I replied simply, turning my gaze back to the forest itself. The trail leading into it, with its towering trees and leaves. I see that the leaves have shift in color. Purple now. Glowing too. Casting jagged shadows across the ground, over the blue pebbles. Up the trees they seem to climb to reach for the highest point they can achieve.
I can still smell the snow from the far away mountains. They're close to me as we proceed on. Esdeath lovingly grasps my hand, squeezing it lightly. The tree bark glints gently with white sparkles. My right arm instinctively pulls Nightmare closer to me, warm fur greeting my skin. It's familiar, intimately so after all these years together but it never ceases to be sweet to the touch. She nuzzles my cheek affectionately, smiling.
The forest is familiar, somehow. The air tingles and there's soothing warmth. Bathed in purple, blue and white. Flowing hair caressing my arms with the breeze.
"What's on your mind?" Esdeath questions sweetly, I can feel her pretty blue eyes boring into me even before I look to her.
"This place feels familiar," the path is straight. Unmarred by vegetation, and the pebbles appeared to be completely undisturbed. Waiting for us the entire time.
"Like we're-"
"Supposed to be here." Nightmare Rarity finished for me, punctuating her declaration with a graceful swish of her tail. Shadowy tendrils dance from it before dissipating in the air.
"Yes."
"Because we are supposed to be here," Esdeath agrees, "I feel it. Instinctually."
We're going up now. From the distance the hilltop is completely full of color. The ground shifting from various shades of seductive purple and ethereal wintry blue.
I do not ask where it goes from here. I know my loves are with me, as I am with them. I am unafraid. Rather I am engrossed in the beauty of it all.
There is a sweet bliss over the three of us. A fountain of endless love so powerful I can feel vibrating throughout the environment. Every shifting light sings it.
Joyously we go on. I wonder what is at the top but I do not break the serenity with my voice. The soul tells me what is waiting at the top and senses await patiently to experience it first hand.
Embraced, we'll see it together.
