Masquerade (Open to All)

[Elli]

((lol))
Ellie jumped when she heard the voice. She sighed, 'crap... I can't even shake them off my tail? I really need to work on my skills.' Even though she wanted to she resisted the urge to jump on Fiona and take flight. She knew her horses limits, and she knew that her horse was not built to sprint long distances... especially with all of the uneven footing and obstacles. She hoped that the men were not hostile.

Pyro reached Mercury, "You foolish colt. Mares are not interested in you; Stop chasing them." He laughed and let it end in a sort of sigh. He went to the horse's side and felt around on the sweated body for any cuts or bruises. He then loosened the saddle.
Taking the halter, he moved the horse to a clear area of grass a few lengths away to remove it.
"Parden my horse, friend. -he is too flirtatious for sense. I know not what I will do with him. Oh, and my name is Pyro," He added that as an afterthought, turning toward Ellie for a brief moment.

[Elli]

Ellie smiled, "don't mention it... he wasn't a problem." She thought for a moment, "my name is Aidan," she said, hoping that Pyro's companion didn't have the same name. She gently had her fingers go over her horses body. She pulled out her hoof pick and checked all of Fiona's hooves. She took anything out that would be a problem and then put her equipment up. Then she took her equipment off of her and then the saddle. Last she took the halter off, not worried at all of her horse running away. Fiona then went to a meadow like area not far away and started to graze.

Mercury perked his head up, but Pyro held it down this time, "I will tie him up... this is my friend, Jirynd. You saw us at the party, no? I died... and Jirynd had the task of removing my body." He chuckled at the memory. "Those lords and ladies will never see another ball as lively as that one unless we are in it! -no doubt we will never be allowed inside again... true, Jirynd?"

[Elli]

Ellie couldn't help but let out some laughter. So that was what the diversion was that helped her escape from the ball. She was glad that they had come to the ball. If it weren't for them she wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.

Jirÿnd had settled himself a little apart from the other two, under the darker shade of a thick tree. He had been eying this boy they had come across. Though he could not see Aidan's form completely under these dark skies...

"Hmm?" Jirÿnd asked as Pyro said his name. Looking to the other boy, he answered, "Oh, no doubt, if you keep the same countenance. Such is the wonder of the masquerade: be who you wish. It is not likely that we shall have another in a long time. The feud will undoubtedly begin again, now that the young lady has been found missing."

[Elli]

Ellie didn't know what to do, "what are they doing? Running around like chickens with their heads cut off looking for her?" She wondered if they were going to work as hard as they could to try and find her.

[ptsluvsnfl]

"I know not much of this land," Pyro said, "But I would assume... yes." He tied a rope to Mercury's halter and the other end to Jyrind's tree, then allowed him to graze. "Try to restrain yourself, friend," Pyro told him.

[Elli]

Ellie sighed, she knew that that was the way that they did things. She looked at the sky, how did they expect her to go through with the marriage without some room for air or freedom. She stretched and then smiled, she was tired. The rush of escape had gone away... and in it's wake she was dead tired.

[ptsluvsnfl]

Pyro lay down in the grass near his horse as it grazed; he was also tired. It was a warm night, and he could make out stars above him. The winged creatures cooed while the crickets and cicadas joined together in beautiful melody. He was tired with good reason... he chuckled before closing his eyes to sleep.

[Aly]

Though tired as he was, Jirÿnd meant to settle his restless doubts, in whatever form necessary.

Getting up from the little nest he had made for himself, Jirÿnd stealthily glided over to the younger looking boy. As he knelt down by Aidan's sleeping form, Jirÿnd tried to search his face. He looked for any trace of what might appease the questions...

[Elli]

((EEEEEEEEWWWWW! Stalk much Jirynd?! lol))
Fiona saw Jirynd kneeling down by Ellie and was quickly unsettled. She didn't make a sound, just walked over to Ellie and practically stood on top of the two. She seemed to glare at Jirynd for daring to get so close to a lady whose class is so much higher than his that he couldn't possibly even dream about it.

Ellie stirred and frowned as if she could feel Jirynd's presence. In her dream she had been caught, and her family had disowned her at once. Her fiance didn't want a thing to do with her, and she was no more than a wretch. The dream scared her. She hoped desperately that she wouldn't be caught.

Pyro dreamt of yellow roses and camals... then he began seeing strange fish with large jaws that talked to him. He turned into a yellow horse that stood no taller than a cat, and suddenly, was eaten by a crocodile.
((true story. I dreamed I got a yellow model horse that turned into a little Pyro and I met talking sharks and crocs))
He woke up in the middle of the night and began to sing. His words were greatly mumbled by his weary voice, but the tune was distinguishable to all who could hear it.
He was an odd person. He had his own logic... his own laws... they were different than that of this world.
