In a cave in a place where not many creatures go, lived a Viscet. This was not just any viscet. This was a very intelligent viscet, that has chosen to live alone, observing the world in all its splendor. In this cave it was filled with crystals, crystals that shined like a perfectly cut diamond, but yet, imperfect. This, in a way, described Celestia. She is beautiful to look at, but yet, has her imperfections. For one, she was never very social. Celestia didn't always live in a cave in the middle of absolute nowhere. She used to live in a city, a city full of hustle and bustle, but Celestia hated it. She didn't like loud noises and many creatures rapidly walking past, shoving to and fro, paying no mind to her. One day she could stand it no more, and ran away. Finally, she was free, free to explore the massive structures of ice that she had dreamed of seeing, that the city did not care about nor wish to see. Celestia didn't understand the animals of the city, they woke up, went to work, shopped, ate, slept, repeat.
Celestia couldn't do that, she had to explore, keep moving, learn. Although Celestia is quite smart, she is still unintelligent in other ways. She doesn't understand how other creatures or humans even can be smart at all. She looks at someone, and if they look unintelligent, she deems them unintelligent. Underestimating them greatly, even when they prove other wise. This is one of Celestia's biggest faults, that will probably never change, and she will never attempt to change. At times Celestia is cocky, overestimating her owns skills, but most of the time she does have good judgment. When you get her in the right mood, (if you ever have the fortune of finding Celestia's research cave) she will tell you of her findings in the wilderness, discoveries like giant crystals or rarely colored rocks, new minerals never discovered before, sometimes she could go on and on forever, babbling about many strange things a normal I.Q. would not understand.
Although Celestia lives alone, she does occasionally come across other creatures, but not very often. Sometimes Celestia goes to a small mountain village when she needs supplies, its 10 miles from her cave but she doesn't mind.
Mostly Celestia stays in her cave, exploring all of the many tunnels that cover the massive cave. She has gotten lost many times, but somehow, always manages to find her way back. Children in the village say she has super senses and mythical powers, this, of course, is likely wrong and just gossip getting out of hand. Whenever Celestia goes to the village, she mostly keeps to herself. Which makes the young animals there believe she is mysterious, and not telling them everything she could tell.
Sometimes Celestia entertains the childrens idea of her having mystical powers, and says she'll turn them all to ice if they try following her to her secret cave. But, of course youngins being youngins they have tried a few times. Each time failing to follow her. Celestia had found ways to avoid them, taking secret trails and such, making it seem as if she had disappeared in front of their big eyes. This, of course, makes them further the accusation the she is a mythical creature with powers beyond this earth.
Late at night Celestia has found it is wonderful going outside and watching the glowing stars, witnessing the shooting stars and the clouds flow gracefully across the dark blue sky. She even paints the stars and sky at night, when she is in the right mood.
Celestia can be quite adventurous at times, especially at night when no city animals are out. She has taken to going out at the strike of midnight, when there are the most stars out and the sky is darkest. With an oil lantern in her mouth, she goes out exploring in the pale moonlight. Listening to the birds and other creatures that only come out at night, Celestia especially loves going out when it first starts to snow, sticking her toung out and biting at the first snow flakes that start to fall. She can get quite childish in snow, going off guard and opening her shell, jumping and playing in the snow.
But, this is seldom, and rarely occurs.
There is one incident where Celestia's true colors did show...and this is how it began.
On a cold, snowy night, when it was getting around Christmas, something happened. It all started when Celestia, in the middle of the night, heard a loud pounding on the door to the entrance of the cave. She quickly got up, out of bed and lite a candle to see, and hurriedly trotted to the door.
When Celestia inched open the door she was startled to see another viscet! She hadn't seen any other viscets since she had left the city, and it puzzled her that there was one right one her doorstep, in the middle of the night of all things! She quickly shut the door, pondering if she should let them in. They could try to steal her research after all, or make a mess of her laboratory. A few moments later, the knocking sounded again, even louder this time. She hesitantly open the door once again, deciding she mind as well let them in, or they would probably pound on her door all night.
The unknown viscet quickly jumped in the cave before Celestia could change her mind, shaking his fur. ''Burr!'' The viscet said loudly, he then looked up, now seeing the much bigger viscet in the light of the lantern. ''I hope you don't mind me barging in like this, he squeaked, ''But I'm lost and this was the only place I could find out from the cold.'' He looked at Celestia unsure, he had seen glimpses of Celestia when she had come to his village, and heard the stories about her.
Celestia looked down at the small viscet, he was just a kid, only half her size. She raised an eyebrow, wondering what she should do with the pup. He could certainly not stay here! ''How in the world did you get lost? You must be pretty stupid if-'' Celestia stopped short of her sentence when she realized how petrified the little viscet looked. ''I mean...it must have been pretty scary being all alone in the cold dark.'' She quickly turned away, she didn't like kids very much. She didn't understand them, they were just annoying little pests to her, that tried following her every time she went to the village for supplies. She looked back at the little viscet now, ''Well, c'mon, you look freezing cold.''
And indeed the little viscet was, when she carefully wrapped a cotton blanket around the viscet, she could feel ice covering his fur, in a way, he kind of looked like a snow viscet. ''My names Dasher.'' said the viscet, rubbing the snow off his head to reveal a dark face with white markings. ''I'm Celestia, but I'm sure you already know that.'' Celestia said, getting up now to pour two cups of Hibiscus tea, and setting one next to Dasher, and the other next to herself next to the low fire, watching the flames dance in the small fire place. She didn't use the fireplace much, she liked the cold, but tonight, she liked the fire, and it also warmed the shivering viscet beside her. ''So...how'd you get lost anyways?'' Celestia asked, curious. Dasher looked down, looking almost scared. ''Me and some of my friends were playing in the snow, a mile from the village you go sometimes, Dasher paused, looking up at Celestia before continuing. ''And well, we were all laughing and being all loud, ya know, kid stuff. When... from outta no where an avalanche started, and I was in the middle of it, I can't even tell you how long I was being pushed by snow.'' He drank a sip of the hot tea, ''When it finally stopped, I dug my way out and found my friends no where to be seen...and I had no idea where I was, you can figure out the rest.'' Dasher said, a sad expression on his face.
Celestia didn't know what to say, she thought he gotten lost for some dumb reason, now...she felt sorry for the pup. ''C'mon kid...get some rest.'' With that Celestia walked away and into her room, and soon slept.
The next day, she awoke to find Dasher sleeping next to her, a small smile dawned her face as she got up and out of bed to make breakfast.
After breakfast, Celestia and Dasher embarked on the long trek back to the village, when they got there they were greeted by Dasher's friends and family, they thanked her many times for bringing their son back, since then, Celestia would check in on Dasher whenever she went to the village.☆
