Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop. The road to the Fort of Pinta was long and unkept. It was used so irregularly that we were probably the only people to venture down it for a year: it was only really used for the choosing ceremonies. A moment of flying as the cart hopped and flew over a stone, only to plumet down around to the track.
A misty sea of orange had filled the setting sky. It glittered onto the ocean; dancing on this surface. It was in this light that we arrived. The Fort was a bee hive of activity. The Silverglades had already taken the space inside the Fort to camp as they were highest on the hierarchy. The Valedales camped in the forest to the North and the rest camped on the beach. “My brother is here,” I thought. The whole of the clan comes to the ceremony. It was a long night: I couldn’t get any sleep. Come morning I just walked up the river to the fresher water and washed. All the clans kept looking at each other, in polite amazement. We only got to see each other every year, and we all only get to experience 2 clans at most. I pull on my orange robe with a green cord - the colours of the harvest countries. The Eponas use a green robe and an orange cord. I stand with the other children who are coming of age, around a circle. Around us are the Rulers, dressed in black and gold. Then the clans sat in their groups, not mixing with the others apart from the odd glance. And even that was frowned on. I wait. My turn soon. I set forward. I walk towards the spike in the middle and cut my hand. I force my feet to the wooden spike with the bloody hand prints of all before me. And I press it. And I walk towards a clan. Jarlaheim clan. I sit myself next to my mother. She has saved me a seat, she never doubted me. Tomorrow the initiation starts, but today I keep my head in my mothers lap, letting her stoke my hair.

Hello!Welcome to my little space on the large internet where I can share my thoughts, views and fanfics! I am you 'normal' teenaged girl, who loves writing, gaming and horses. I've played Star Stable online since 1st June 2014 and I am currently a level 20 player on Cupcake Valley where I hang about with Frosty Roses and my 18 pixel horses!

I have nothing to do with Star Stable and own none of their graphics. But I can tell you it is a great game and you should play it!
