[KittyCatKita]

Another extinctquid, this time inspired by the oh so lovely Dodo Bird!
To try for her, give her a name that has a D in it somewhere and write a short story about one of her greatest adventures, for example this can be finding a cave with fossils, or surviving a raging storm.
Please try to keep it no longer than 400-500 words at the most, a little bit over is ok. WIPs and Edits are allowed for this girl <3 The name and story that I like best will win her.

Equid's Name Nevadra
Age: 3 years
Gender: Mare
Height: 12.1hh



Story:
"You are a little slow, aren't you?" a voice said, with just the slightest hint of disdain.
"Well, you are a little rude," a second voice replied with a snort. Both mares let out a laugh and continued on their way. Nevadra had to convince Hikari with all her heart to come up the mountain with her, but the mare had an unexpected spring in her step and proved to be faster than Nevadra. Hikari was a little younger than the grey mare. They were nearing the top, where the air was brisk and cool, the wind sending daggers of cold through their coats.
"Nevadra, maybe we should go back. Dad will wonder where I am." The filly had a slight layer of fright in her voice, which Nevadra found odd of the proud foal.
"We'll be fine, and I'll deal with Saracer later. We had a mission to find this thing, and we're going to do it." The edge in her voice apparently reminded Hikari of her bold demeanor as she trudged ahead with a high step. The sleet only grew worse, ripping through their manes and shredding Nevadra's previous determination to find this treasure. A rumor had passed through the herd that finding the flower of the mountain would bring unending luck to any equid that consumed a petal. Nevadra, with her uneasy and lonely life, had been so determined to find this plant. But now her lungs froze, her mouth was dry and slick, and her legs could only manage a slow shuffle. Even worse, Hikari was nowhere to be seen. When she tried to call out, nothing but a small puff of steam escaped her mouth. She was doomed.
After travelling in the cold for what seemed like hours, she caught sight of hoof prints and followed them as best she could. The snow covered them and removed them from sight unless Nevadra really concentrated. Finally, the snow and ice ended, leading to a dull gray scene. The mountain. She forced her legs to move, ice shattering from clinging to her fur, until she could see the ice melting off her coat. Then she collapsed on the ground, falling asleep from the insane exhaustion the peak had caused her.
When she woke up, the face of her favorite filly peered into her eyes. "Don't ever, ever let me make you climb a mountain again," she said with a glitter in her eyes. Maybe her luck had come, she made it out of that dooms Ville alive and found her friend just as healthy. Stupid flower of 'luck'.[/quote]

Story:
Thunder crackled with anger as he chased his mistress lightning across the night sky. Paradox remembered a story the herds matriarch had told her when she had just been a foal about the thunder and lightning god and closed her eyes to recall the story. Rain washed over her face and back. It left darker streaks agains her grey coat and drenched her main that now clung in strands to her neck and forehead. Another boom of distant thunder snapped her eyes open, their amber orbs flashed with fear but her stone still body didn't flinch. She tried to remind herself that she had nothing to fear but fear itself but her flank began to tremble as lightning ripped across the black sky, slicing it open to spill more rain. The droplets splashed against her eyes lashes and made her vision blurry as the downpour became more intense. the thrumming of the rain hitting the dried earth filled her ears, it was almost deafening.

They was suddenly a warmth next to her and she glanced sidelong at an equid that had just stepped out of the shelter of the tree's to stand next to her. He was a handsome young stallion with a trance like expression on his face. Paradox couldn't help but think him to be quite stunning, especially with the way his eyes gazed up at the inky black sky with such awe. She pawed at the ground to steel his attention. With his bright lively eyes he said. "What a fine Night for dancing" Paradox stared at him dully and started as a flash of lightning battled with the roar of near thunder. The stallion laughed and leaned closer to her. his skin was hot with excitement as it brushed against her flank. "Paradox, you must not fear her, she protects us" the way he spoke of nature as an individual intrigued her. "Now dance with me" he gave her a playful shove and sprang forward. his coat was already dark and drenched as the night storm swallowed him.

Paradox shivered, it was not safe, what if they were struck by lightning and dies? what if she twisted and ankle and became a burden to the heard? what if.... her mind was a twisted storm of fear but she forced herself to swallow her thoughts. She couldn't let the foolish stallion get lost, could she. She trotted in the direction she had seen him leave the night was sliced by another flash of lightning and she spotted him. his head was thrown back in a demonstration of elegant beauty. rain glided down his muzzle and dripped off his chin. droplets flew from his mane and tail as he dance. He looked so free and so happy. Why was she so afraid to just let go, why couldn't she be fearless like him. He paused from his dance and smiled feverishly at her. "See, their is more to life then fear" he called over the drumming of the rain.

He threw back his head agin and struck out at the night sky with his front feet. He looked so strong and so powerful. Without realizing it Paradox too had found herself balanced on her hind legs clobbering the emptiness before her with powerful strokes of her legs. It felt good, to let go. for hours they danced in the rain, till their legs were tired and their coats soaked through to the bone. after that they returned to the shelter of the forest and lay together. he rested his head gently on her back and dozed lightly. This was the night Paradox found her courage, and the night she found love.

Deepika (Hindu,Meaning a little light)
Age:
7
Gender: Mare
Height: 12.1hh
Story:
The day was presently cool with the sun out warming the soft grass of the deep valley. Deepika lay in a soft grass bed on the edge of the forest, as she sat there enjoying the valley and the warm sun she saw something on the other side of the open stretch of land. It was just a black blur but as she squinted she could see the outline of a small rabbit nibbling off the sweet grass. As she watched she cocked her head to one side, then the other. A habit Deepika had picked up by watching the birds; she was always watching the birds. If she weren’t so shy she might try and communicate to the black birds of the forest but for now she would just lay and watch. She looked at the rabbit curiously when suddenly it dashed towards the woods. Over taken by curiosity she jumped up as quickly as she could and raced over the grass padding it down as she ran.
She could barely hear the whistle of the wind and the crunch of the leaves underneath her as she raced behind the rabbit. As she was coming over a hill the rabbit suddenly disappeared, she started to stop but was dragged forward by momentum. She skidded over the hill and found herself head over heels in a deep hole connected by large ever winding tunnels. “Wow.” She let out a sigh of amazement. In every direction a tunnel lead off for as far as she could see. Deepika righted herself and against her better judgment she decided to head down one of the tunnels; while Deepika may be shy she lacked nothing in curiosity. She headed down one, then a connecting tunnel going through the bigger ones and avoiding the smaller tunnels. Till eventually she found herself… Lost.
She decided to stop wandering for fear of getting lost more than she already was. As she lay in a small dip she looked to the walls, she could see rocks and even a few bones in one small area. She looked at it intensely and realized it seemed to make the shape of a bird, spreading its wings and looking to the sky. “That’s it!” Deepika whispered to herself, “I have to think…” She said to herself, “If I can’t think of how to get out then maybe I’m not thinking in the right ways. I don’t need to think of what I would do, I need to think of what that bird would do.” She examined the picture coming at it from every angle. “Fly.” She whispered under her breath. She had to fly. She pushed up against the dirt, hitting rocks and soft dirt as well as hard. But she just kept pushing until… A little light shone through the ceiling of the tunnel. It was working; she kept on pushing up and hitting against the top. Until finally the tunnel roof came crumbling down. She could see the light of day again. And as she pushed herself up she knew she would never forget that when she didn’t know what to do… she would fly.
Dropping out, Good luck every one on this beautifull equid!

Story:
One warm summer day I was taking a nap by a little spring of water in the shade of a peach tree. Exciting right? Anyways, I started to doze off when I heard a loud crash close to where I was. Any smart equid would have run away, but I did not. Instead I got up from where I was laying and trotted to right where the crash came from. I looked around swiviling my head left and right to see what made the noise but with no luck. Finally after about 30 minutes of searching I decided to turn around. Just as I was walking away I heard another loud crash! But this time it was further in the distance. I snorted and turned back around, galloping in the direction of the second crash. I was determined to find what was making that noise!
Soon I reached a the edge of the Hollow Forest. Or at least thats what us equids call it because anyone who went in there, obviously didn't have a brain. After waiting for a while to see if I would hear another crash I turned back around to head home. But then, I noticed something. There were equid prints leading into the Hollow Forest. And the worst part was is that they weren't mine and they WERE fresh. I walked to the edge of the gloomy forest and neighed loudly,"Hello? Can anyone hear me?". No response. I whinnied once more "Is anyone there?!" with no response given back to me. I stood there for a moment debating wether I should go into the forest myself or not. And then I heard it. It was another equid who's terrified voice was coming from...the forest.
"Help me!" The voice pleaded
"Don't worry! I am coming for you!" I replied loudly. I galloped into the forest following the tracks that the other equid had left. But after a while the tracks seemed to stop. I looked around to see where i was but i didn't recognize this part of the forest. "Hey! Where are you?" I whinnied loudly to the other equid. When no response came I galloped to where I thought I had heard the other equid.
Soon when I looked at the sky, the sun was beggining to fall so the moon could rise and take its place. 'I have to turn back!' I thought with dismay. As soon as I turned around I heard its voice! The high pitched plee for help! I turned back around and followed the voice that was SO CLOSE to me! And then I reached it. It was a clearing with several different figures in it. I could smell fear on one of them, but the rest were hungry. I could tell from their growling noises and excited screeches. My heart froze when I actually realized what they were. They were pumas. I had heard of big cats getting together and hunting for a little while but nevrr this many had I known of to hunt together. 'This is it,' I thought scaredlly.
I charged into the clearing, head and tail high to let the cats know that I meant buissness and ran through them over to the other equid rearing up at the cats. They all panicked and ran away with their tails tucked in between their legs. I reared up once more to show my triumph over the cats. I looked at the other equid smiling. "So you ready to get out of here?" I asked him. He nodded quickly and we bothe galloped out of that forest like there was no tomarow.
