The crickets had finally began to chatter as the sun edged its way to the horizon eager to leave and also reluctant. Who could really know what the sun was doing while the moon was dancing in the sky? A softly glowing orb in the east was rising to take the sun's throne, the nightly coup de etat. It was a moon that was swollen with possibilities and it did nothing to ease the urge of recklessness that was spreading through your veins like intoxicating sugar. You turn your eyes away from the moon, to give into her in a new place isn't wise. Your pupils focus on the river in front of you .The water was swift and dangerous but inviting all the same, daring you to dive in and take the chance.
You shake your head. Enough of this. You were here to meet someone, not to find a new path without a compass. But the river draws you in again, tugging at a portion of your soul, you swear you see it move faster before the current stops. Your eyes widen, the water was like a sheet of silk moving in a slow breeze, a piece of bending glass, the surface was liquid metal though the water was moving in a frenzy beneath it.
Something started to rise out of the gray blue of the river, the water melted away off it's body as it rose higher into the suns last rays. It was magnificent, a sleek black body with white marbles for eyes and hair that hung in waves. This was not just a horse, it was something more. You had become so entranced you didn't notice that the creature's hooves were sinking into the soft bank but a few feet from where you stood. Her eyes draw you in, she wants- needs you to come with her. You want to help her, you want to stay with her more than anything, more than the stars, more than the moon herself. You extend a trembling hand to touch her, to make sure she's real, not some glorious illusion made to taunt you.
Inches from her face; a streak of life, made with aqua and silver crashes into her, your lovely. You scream laying in the company of dirt, pebbles and mud, hand stinging with pain. It must have hit you too. You push yourself back up and find her battling with another horse. This one was different, her skin glittered and her hair was soft and white. They were not made from the same world.
The horse with silver entwining down it's back had the other pinned to a large boulder, the latter looking at you with sorrow as the blue one dug into her with it's hooves. Something stings your lip, your hands come away with blood and tears on their fingertips.
Stop! You're killing her! Stop!" you scream, hoping the other horse would understand, you want to help but fear grips you so tight that breathing seems impossible. The blue horse turns her head to you, her eyes hold their own message. The voice drifts into your head "I'm trying to protect you
The world begins to shift, a rush of wind moves inward to the two horses, the trees groan with it's force. It seems as though the air is sighing, the reality dissipating. Abruptly it ends and the water is moving again, the two enemies are gone. A young girl sits cross legged on a smooth rock in front of you. She knows.
Wha- where are they?" you find yourself out of breath, as though you had been running "Was that real or did I...?" You trail off she must think you're crazy, maybe you are. You turn around ready to run away from this river, from this strange girl and her sense of calm.
It could be." You face her again. Did she speak? Or did your mind ask that question? Did it matter?
What could be?" you stare at her intently. She finally looks you in the eye "It could be real... Did you like her?" You're looking for an answer, the image of the black horse appears in your head. "I liked her but... what do you mean it could be real?
The girl smiles and laughs "Funny how the line is so blurry, between the good and the bad, even when it looks clear." She takes a deep breath inward "It could be real. If you want it to be. Everyone chooses what they believe.
The girl searches your face with her eyes "What if I told you that she just saved you? She is the gaurdian, but only if you believe it" The girl smiles at you "I choose what happens here" claws appeared on her fingers, you shiver "And I say it's time to leave"

Iryojun or "Jun" as I like to call her is a bit odd. I have no idea how the concept of her character came about but eventually it just emerged and so I sat down and typed it all out

I was sick and bored to tears of seeing pets that were the "chosen ones" and pets with the typical "Grey Syndrome" that play the part of a lost soul with no purpose. So I decided that Jun would have an upsetting past but she would also have an uncertain future.

The bottom line is that Jun is just someone who took a huge task on their shoulders and is trying their best to manage it. Jun is just ordinary with a few special talents. She's quite fast, yet not too strong. However she is rather determined and has a fantastic work ethic (which I do not posses). She is also friendly and protective by nature. These two traits can either help her or betray her and have been known to do both in some situations. Creativity is another strong point of hers and this leads to her meeting all sorts of strange and interesting creatures from both the depths of the river and it's shores. Overall she is pleasant to be around yet if pushed too far her temper can become a nasty storm. Jun is also changing over time as we all do and at any point in her life her demeanour may change.

The girl laughs. "Confused? I know the shift in worlds can be bothersome. You're staring at text and then the air thins and twists. The realms twist." You had returned to the river and the sun was still sinking, the last bits of colors soaking over the landscape like spilled ink. "Is this real? Where are we?" you ask, still staring at the sunset. She slants her eyes upward at you "You choose if it's real or not. I already told you. I can tell you where we are though." Tearing your eyes away from the horizon you stare at her. The claws that had formed on her hands had disappeared and transparent wings rested on her back, almost like a tattered butterfly that had decided to land between her shoulders. Tall elfin ears had just started to poke through her hair.

To answer your question" She smirks watching your -disallowed_word- Whom she adopted from me and is the fantastic owner of) and Jun
