The day was cold and bitter, and it was quickly turning into night. As the sun started to set on the horizon, a stallion made his way through the snow. The snow reached past his feathered hooves and midway to his stomach, making it hard to move. Every step had to be high and powerful. So it was quite a relief when he spotted the cave up ahead. He sighed with relief and moved a little faster, with a little more energy. His eyes were pinned on the opening to the cave. As he neared he stopped, inhaling. There were no other scents here, the winter weather had done well to hide them even if there were some hidden around. But he could detect none. Thus one could only figure it was safe to enter, and so he entered the caverns. He sighed softly as his breathe came out in puffs before him. Each breathe was like an icy jolt to his body.
At last when he got deeper in the caverns the heat started to rise, or maybe the cold had just gone away. Still, it was ample relief from the freezing cold weather outside. He looked around and snorted, laying down on the cold hard floors of the cave. Ears perched atop his head, he watched it snow from where he laid.
It was a beautiful sight to behold, what with the snow falling and the skies still partially blue. He could only wish he had some company to share this moment with. He hoped one day to find a mate, but first he would have to meet a girl. Gulping at the thought, he wondered how he could get past his nerves. He always seemed to mess up when it came to mares.
But maybe one day he would find a mare.. Maybe one day he would find that special someone. He could hope. Until then he laid there, trying to warm his body up. He looked at his hooves. "One day.. I bet I'll find the best mare ever.. Some day... "
He looked up at the skies as the stars started to come out and his heart ached. "Some day.." He repeated in a tone barely above a whisper, hoping as a shooting star went by that his dreams would come true some day. One day at a time, he reminded himself. One day at a time.

{ the lady of the dance } Winter was here and it was angry. A vengeful wind roared thought the land and through her already chilled mane and tail. However, to say the bay mare was cold was an understatement for she was freezing. Her legs where starting to go numb as she marched through the snow that tickled her belly. Oh, but it didn't make her laugh far from it the cold feeling it brought to her skin made her want to cry. Brown eyes couldn't see a thing as the wind blew her mane into her eyes and the falling snow didn't help either.
Letting out a loud whinny she called out in almost a scared voice, "Hello! Is anyone out there? Hello? Help please!" She wasn't normally one to beg for help, but she was so very cold and lost. Having entered this so called Paradise three days ago when the snow hadn't been too bad. Now though it was a nightmare of a place. As she moved she spotted a cave and moved towards it. It took her a few moments, but when she finally stepped into it she was covered in snow with ice in her mane tail and on the tips of her eye lashes. Breathing heavy she shook herself off and just leaned against the wall to tired and cold to move any farther even though it was still freezing at the mouth of the cave.
As she stood there leaning against the cave a voice came to her ears someone was saying something. No they where saying someday. "Someday it will stop snowing and the beauty will spread over the landscape." She said softly in a heavy breath. It was loud enough for someone else to hear, but still quiet like it was suppose to be for herself to hear. She didn't know someone else was around. She had thought the voice was just the end playing tricks on her ears, but being alone for so long talking to someone else would keep her sane.

Snow had been falling outside, the scents of the world seemingly gone. As the stud had been traveling it had seemingly gotten worse. This paradise was no paradise at all at the moment. Instead it was more like some sort of nightmare. He had been looking at his hooves after entering, talking to himself.. When she wandered into his life. The quiet of the cave and the snow falling down had been so serene, so peaceful.. He hadn't noticed the cries for help, until they echoed into the cave. By that time a figure had appeared at the base of the cave.. He had been speaking, and it wasn't clear if she had heard him or not. Though he didn't know if she knew he was here, he just knew that there was a beautiful mare in front of him. She mentioned something about some day it will stop snowing and beauty will spread over the landscape. Swallowing hard, he rose to his hooves and stepped foward, revealing himself. "I believe it already has." He said softly, more to himself then to her. He looked at her, his cheeks red as he saw her, snow on her back, frost on her eyelashes and her dark coat seemingly just as beautiful as ever. He briefly pictured how she would look with a foal, next to him.. He quickly shut it out of his mind. He felt his jaw slacken a little, and quickly clamped it shut. Then he looked at her, moving towards her. "I'm Draco.." He said quietly, then took one more step towards her as he realized she must be freezing. Perhaps scared, too? He couldn't be sure.
He looked at her, then looked back down at his hooves. He was foolish for thinking of silly dreams before her well being. Eyes softened as he looked into hers. "Are you alright, miss?" He asked softly, wanting to get to know this mare before him. If she had half the personality to match her good looks, she was a keeper. But surely a lassie like her wouldn't go for a brute like him.
Looking away, he took a step back to give her her space. He didn't want to come off as too pushy or scare her. He was a gentleman to most, but he didn't really do too good around mares.. He finally sighed and looked at her. "What brings a pretty lady like you out into this storm?"

ISABELLA
{ the lady of the dance } Breathing deep hurt as warmer air entered her lungs. The cold, the numbness was also making her rather itchy as she stood in the cave, body against the wall. Eyes half closed she thought about just sleeping and letting mother nature take her out of this world, but freezing to death wasn't something she wanted. No. She wanted a family, a few foals and a mate. She wanted to live in a herd with other mares. That was her goal in life anyways. For now she would just be fine with flirty with handsome stallions and cuddling.
As she debated with herself there was movement in the back of the cave. Shifting she pulled herself from off of the wall. "Hello?" She said in a shivering voice. She wasn't scared just cold as she spoke. Brown eyes looked with delight as the figure came towards her. A stallion. A big handsome stallion. She thought to herself as she slowly shifted on her legs. She listened to him, but she was sort of out of it. Still in a few moments she blinked and shook her head again. "Isabella." She softly said as she fluttered her eyes softly. It looked like she was trying to get the frost off of her eyelashes, but really she was flirting with him.
"My name is Isabella and I am not out in the a storm. I am in a cave...with you." She soon said with a bit of sass in her voice. Still she meant well as she took a step closer to him. "What are you mister Draco?" She questioned as she flickered her ears on her head to be forward to better hear him.

One moment it had been a life or death thought when he had been out in that storm, now he was here.. In a cave.. With a beautiful mare before him. He was staring at her beauty even before he had spoke, from the moment she had said hello he was hooked like a fish to her beauty. He saw her step into the light and batting her eyelashes. She was flirting with him? No it couldn't be.
He smiled a little, then heard her speak her name. "Isabella. Pleasure to.." She had stepped forward and he thought about taking a step back for a moment, but decided against it. Sass was in her voice as she said that her name was Isabella and she was not out in a storm.. He felt his back end against a cave wall, he saw her take a step closer to him and tell him she was in a cave.. with him.. Then she asked what he was, calling him mister Draco.
He took a step closer to her, smiling a bit. "Trying to keep warm.. Perhaps you can help?" He said, a smirk having formed on his maw. He was offering her to cuddle. He smiled once more, then moved to seductively nip her hind. He pranced in a circle around her, his eyes ever steady on hers. "Care to dance?" He asked, prancing and showing off for her. Then he became more serious after a bit. "You're beautiful.." He finally said when he stopped in front of her.. He moved closer and nuzzled her gently, affectionately.

{ the lady of the dance } Listening to him a smile crossed her lips. It was gentle it was playful and it was harmless at the same time. My how things work out. For a while she thought she was going to freeze to death she thought she was going to die out there in that snow storm, but now it would seem she wouldn't. In fact she had even found a strong looking stallion to talk to and she will be honest she was glad for that. She was glad he wasn't a little colt, she didn't have a way to take care of one. No safe home, no food, she only had love that she could have given to a foal. If he had been a colt she would have scooped him and and kept him warm and safe though the stormy night in a heart beat. However, as he was a stallion well perhaps she has found herself a friend to travel with for a while. After all as a social creature life was always better with another around.
"Oh really?" She questioned as he said he was trying to stay warm and then noticed he had backed himself up against a wall. Tossing her mane out of her eyes as a strained falls into her face she nodded her head softly. Bobbing it as she took a step back from him. "Maybe...oh! Hey!" She said softly at first then a bit surprised as he circled her and nipped her rump. "You want a dance? Then catch me." She told him in a soft voice as she reached her head forward to speak into his ear. At her last words she pulled away from him and moved to go around him as she cantered away deeper into the caverns. As she moved she kept looking back to see if he was coming and as it got warmer she started to feel much better.
Soon she was deep into the caverns and a light from the moon shined into the large cavern where she was. "Whoa." A simple and single word left her lips as she came to a stop to look at the hidden hot spring and oasis.

From wondering if he would ever find a mare to meeting a lady and have her flirting with him. It was all so sudden and surprising that he had backed up, but as soon as he releaxed he began to become more bold in flirting back as he nipped her rump. As he circled her and offered a dance, he smiled as she repeated his request, then told him to catch her.. If being caught was what she desired, a chase she would get. He felt his muscles tense a moment as she took off..
He gave chase slowly, his body relaxed and he let out a laugh of joy as he came towards her. It was growing noticably warmer, and soon he stopped when he had noticed she had come to a halt. He wondered why she had come to such a sudden halt, she seemed mesmerized.
Carefully he approached, then he saw why she was so star struck.. There before him the moonlight shined in from a crack in the cave, crystals reflecting the light and a hot spring oasis before them.. He couldn't help but feel completely at ease. He looked at her, how beautiful she looked, then took a step towards the hot springs.
"Shall we, my dear?" He asked as he put one leg into the hot springs, then the other until all four were in the water.. He stepped further into it, it well up to the base of his neck... The hot water felt good on his cold body. Eyes went back to her, he couldn't help but think how pretty and elegant she looked. He smiled at her, his eyes reflecting his emotions. "Coming in?" He asked softly, making room for her. It would be a night he would never forget.

ISABELLA
{ the lady of the dance } Eyes where wide as she keep them on the area around her. She had heard him call her beautiful before, but nothing was as beautiful as what her eyes where beholding right now. As the moonlight glittered off of the crystals bouncing the light around the walls. The sounds of hooves tapping against the ground grow softer behind her as Draco catch up and for a moment she was silent and motionless.
That was until he past her and moved to the hot spring. He spoke, but it took her a few second to realize what he had said. Nodding her head with a smile she gave a soft hummed giggle as she moved forward. Elegantly and slowly she put a leg in. At first she pulled it out quickly at the feel of the heat, but then she slowly put it back followed by the rest of her body. It was up to the base of Draco's neck, but she was shorter then him. The water came to just a few inches under her chin. Letting out a sigh she smiled at him. "So warm." She said softly as she reached forward in an attempt to rest her head against his neck.
"Perfect." She said softly before closing her eyes for a few moments. Taking deep breaths before opening her eyes to look at him. "So do you come here often?" She asked. To be honest she could get used to this, this was for sure a land she would love to live in. Then again she could live in this moment forever.
