He was soon getting tired and with that final downright blow, his knees began to wobble and so did his elbows. Maybe pushing himself wasn’t such a good idea after all… so with a big weary sigh, he dropped his mallet onto the ground and hunched over, deciding that a break would be nice.

He had no acknowledgement of whoever was spying on him though, and I felt he would find out who exactly, then he wouldn’t be happy.

She waited a couple of minutes to see what the guy would do. There was not much around for miles, and she was curious to see where he would go to next. The woman was suddenly on alert when a buzzing sound zipped past her head. When the brunette whipped around there were more bees floating around, and to her horror she spotted a tiny hive about 2 meters down the trunk of the tree. She jumped and scrambled to the end of the branch she was on, where it broke with a loud snap.

“AAAaaaa!.....oof!”

She crashed straight down into the grass, and although a fall from that height would have crippled a human, the only thing damaged was the queen’s pride.

“Payment?” Let’s see, a strange woman looking for a horse that is also strange is offering her, a fourteen year old girl, money. Sure, her allowance wasn’t much but it would probably lead to something bad if she were to take the money. 

Satoko shook her head. “No, I don’t need the money.” she replied. “But I can help you look for your horse. Could you explain how they look?”

Raising her right hand to her right eye, she began peering into the woman’s dream. Maybe the horse popped up somewhere in the woman’s dream last night. There was little chance this would work and she looked silly right now but it was worth a try.

Well that was nice of her, the monarch thought to herself. Maybe she could make use of this human after all. 

“Let’s see.” She started, too concentrated to notice any sort of magic being used on her. “He’s a huge stallion with strong legs like pillars and hoofsteps that cause the ground to tremble when he gallops. His coat and mane are as black as a starless night, and often times he leaves a tell-tale trail of dead grass behind him. Unless you’re near a ranch, he’s really hard to miss.”

As she spoke, there was little to be found in her subconscious memory. It had been at least 48 hours since she last slept, and her REM cycles are usually brief. Scrambled feelings of fear, outrage and sorrow with very little imagery besides a kaleidoscope of barely visible shapes amidst a dark void were all that’s available. Not quite nightmare material, but still disturbing.

Meanwhile, a large shadow on the concrete was creeping up behind the unsuspecting woman, growing steadily in size.

“...That son of a bitch.”

The fields of Dream Land had a peaceful aroma towards it, where it was approching the seasonal Summer and making the country an ideal location to relax and enjoy. While it looked that, there was a large amount of nonsense towards it, where animals and monsters roamed forests and even weird creatures were intelligent enough to live in civilisation. However, despite all that, a human being was found in one area of the forest, slamming a large hammer into a white beady-eyed sandbag over and over.

Having heard the sound echoing through the trees, a sorceress in pink went over to investigate. To her surprise, she could see in the distance someone very human-looking. The lady hopped up on the branches of a tall tree close to the stranger to watch from above.

You’re so beautiful it makes me want to gag.

“Such harsh words. I’ll be thinking about them for the rest of my life, thinking about the time that a wench insulted my appearance. You have truly hurt me.”

[ladyxillusion]

“That was the exact opposite of my intention, you know.”

It was a sunny spring in the unfamiliar town as the brunette wandered around the outskirts. She doesn’t know how she got here, but somehow, something about this general area recalled a sense of deja vu.

There was someone else nearby; surely they could point her in the right direction.

“Excuse me, I’m kinda lost. What’s the name of the nearest city?”

Send “♻” for a recycled starter.

By ‘recycled’ I mean an idea for an open that never got anywhere, a starter you posted then later took down because they never responded or anything along those lines.

genjitsu-yume:

“It wouldn’t be good if anyone was bothered by whatever you’re looking for.” 

So it was known to be disobedient. If someone like a police officer were to find it first, they could be in danger if the horse decided they didn’t want to be taken in. It was definitely a weird horse too so who knows what it could do.

“Nothing bad would happen if someone found it first, right?”

“Nah. If that pony doesn’t want to be found, it won’t. At most, someone might receive a good scare. Eventually, he’ll just...disappear.”

She was used to this kind of scenario, but each time it happened it was another disappointment and missed opportunity for the royal.

“Which means I’ll have to try again later,” she mumbled to herself. “You know, I’ve never asked this of anyone, but you look like the curious type. If you happen to find any clues about my dear horse’s whereabouts, find me. I’ll be sticking around for a little while longer. In return, I’ll pay you well.”

genjitsu-yume:

“Eerie sensation?…Shuddering?”

This must be something abnormal. Gosh, her life has been turning weirder recently. Sure before, she met people who were strange in some aspect but not this frequently. Now it seemed that with every other day, the student encounters a new strange thing.

“Is this horse going to cause trouble for people?” 

“Hmm,” the brunette nearly chuckled. “I don’t think so. Unless you mean me, of course. Honestly, sometimes I can’t tell whether he resents my company or just thinks it’s funny to make my job difficult.”

As she sighed, she quickly scanned the area for any clues. She knew she had to make haste and keep moving if she had any chance of keeping up with the fast moving creature. The Empress didn’t bother asking herself why she was still wasting time with this human female.

“You seem concerned.”

[ladyxillusion]

genjitsu-yume:

“…a horse?” 

Where would a horse come from? They were in the middle of a city.

“I haven’t seen one around or I would have taken a picture of it.”

“Hm. That could either be a good thing or a bad one.”

On the one hand, the beast may not have passed through this street. On the other hand, he may have snuck by without detection. The trickster had multiple means of hiding himself if he didn’t want to be noticed, and to a human it might be the slightest rumbling of pavement as if a truck had gone by at the most.

“I guess I’ll have to look everywhere. Are you sure you didn’t notice anything strange? Like a sudden eerie sensation that made you shudder for no reason?”

“For someone claiming to have that much power, you’re quite delicate.”

[ladyxillusion]

“Well, compared to you, yes. I suppose so. But that begs the question, how do you know?”
