The Plains

You step through the portal and find yourself at the
hooves of a very irate and very large unicorn. It isn't until you scramble
away and gain a bit of perspective that you recognize the dark stallion with his
brilliant gold mane and bold crimson and blue markings. It's Primary Colors, the
Guardian of the meadows, the stallion whom you met on your way in. Heaving a sigh
of relief you take the time you get to your feet. Expecting the stallion to pause
in his charge you're more then a bit surprised when he makes no move to alter in
his path to run you down. With a yelp you start to sprint away.
Unfortunately your flight is halted as you trip over the stone. Curling up into a
ball you wait for death under the stallions hooves. After a moment you hesitantly
uncurl. You nearly die of shock when you glance up and can see nothing but the stallions
dark, blue marked face. He must have leapt aside at the last moment, then returned
to loom over your body until you looked up.
"What are you doing here, Wanderer?" Primary asks in a tone that
is probably the closest his equine voice can get to a growl.
"I just followed a Hunter Cat in! I didn't know I wasn't supposed to come here..
I can leave.." You explain hurriedly, hoping that the account will save you
from being trampled to death. Quickly glancing around you spot the feline that you
had followed in you gesture frantically towards it.
The stallion's gaze follows your hand and he blinks at the Hunter Cat that smirks
up at him. His dark gaze returns to you and he scowls. "I see that I won't be
able to pound you into the dust.." He trails off, but his muttered comment sounds
disturbingly like 'no matter how much I want to..' He straightens, removing his face
from it's former position entirely too close to your own.
You stand hurriedly, dusting your clothing off. Now that you have time to study the
scenery you notice that the colors seem off. There's a bit too much red to the sky,
and the grass looks almost purple. Everything seems to be somewhat skewed. You blink.
"What is this place?"
The stallion, who had been slowly walking off, looks back at you. He seems somewhat
surprised that you've dared to ask a question. "This is my place. The blue one.."
He pauses there for a moment, as if trying to decide how he can explain, then continues.
"Locked this small bit of an alternate version of her world away for me so I
would have somewhere... safe to go." Having stopped to explain he continues
walking. Further inquiry into what exactly he's supposed to be safe from is
discouraged by the grating undertone in his voice .
You blink, both at the explanation and at the fact that he's pacing away from you.
"Where are you going? May.. May I come?" You ask, somewhat hesitantly.
After all, you have no wish to annoy the stallion again.
"If you wish." Comes the somewhat less then encouraging answer.
Having nothing else better
to do you scamper after him...
Or you decide that
it might be best to leave and head back through the portal..
