>>520874You know today isn't gonna be a good day when you're woken up by dropping from head height onto a stone floor.
I mean, I can take hit pretty well, martial arts'll do that for ya, but that's still a /little/ much. I'm still not sure how I didn't crack a rib... Then again, I could just being a wuss about it. Probably just hurt more than it normally would've because it took me by suprise.
Anyways, I sat up with a groaned "Ow, damn." Rubbing the blurriness and stars out of my eyes, and the first things I see clearly are these two horses, like mixes between unicorns and pegasi. Except, the thing is, they were a little diffrent from horses as I knew 'em.
First thing that caught my eye were the manes. Instead of hair, they looked like... well I'm not sure /how/ to describe them. Corporeal? Etheral? I need to brush up on my vocabulary. The larger one's looked like an Aurora, with gently glowing hues of green, pink, and blue that seemed to shift as it flowed. The other's reminded me of a starry night, all a deep, dark blue with twinkling points of white scattered throughout.
I then noticed the odd coloration of the second one, who seemed to slightly draw back as I focused on it. Its coat was a deep blue, much like it's mane, infact, and the eyes teal. Glancing back at the other, I noticed magenta.
/Wait a minute/...
That's what lead me to the most interesting thing about these Equines.
The faces.
The fact that I could interpret their expressions. Even though they were horses, their mannerisms and expressions were human enough for me to understand easily, yet not enough to head into the Uncanny Valley. I saw an odd mixture of fear, shock and confusion, and was probably reacting the same way myself, to be honest.
We stayed there gawking at eachother for a good fifteen seconds until I broke the silence.
