Mateship ceremony

It was late afternoon when Zephyr was waiting for her date to come to the grassy Hill that overlooks some part of the mountains. They both lived in Lilika overlook, Zephyr arrived as a rift jumper, exploring Solaria until she found a place to call home. 

She reminisced on her first arrival to Lilika overlook, she was curious about the new lands when a pink and white Mara told her the history of Lilika overlook. She even shared with Zephyr not only stories and legends, but some delicious fruit grown from the village. Zephyr couldn't forget the pink eyes of the kiamara who spoke to her for hours at end. It was love at first sight, for Zephyr anyway. She had no idea how Lynara felt, not until a few moons later when Lynara confessed her love for Zephyr. It was a magical time as they were here in this very spot, a year ago today.  

She thought back on when she first met Lyn, she was happy, bubbly and had so much kindness in her heart. She loved everything about her, it was hard not to fall in love with her at first sight.

It was daytime when they first met, birds sang in the trees and the breeze was gentle, only slightly ruffling Zephyr's fur. She had no idea what to expect as she entered the village, maras were busy with their day to day life, so she sat at a tea shop and purchased a local history book. It was then, when a pink and white kiamara approached her. "Hey! I've read that book, did you know the giant fights didn't actually happen and that it was just natural rainfall that created the dips in the mountains. The giant story came to existence when the rockfalls happened. Maras everywhere thought that giants were attacking. I'm sorry I'm rambling, I shouldn't have barged in like that. I'm Lynara Roseshine. And you seem to be new here, I haven't seen you before." Lynara gazed at Zephyr's golden eyes.

Zephyr put her book down on the table, "It's okay, I'm exploring the different cultures and legends around Solaria. I'm a rift jumper and I'm glad to meet you. You seem to know a lot about the legends around here and the natural formation of this land. My names Zephyr Autumnfall." Zephyr mildly responded, not forgetting the look of Lynara, she was so pretty and her eyes were bold. She instantly loved her personality, she loved how she had no fears of maras and how she's also a nerd for history. Zephyr always seemed standoffish but somehow Lynara wore her down in mere minutes. 

Before long they were chatting away like old friends, even flirting with each other here and there. That's when Zephyr wanted to live with her forever, and before long she moved in with Lynara, as room-mates.

The sun began to set when Lynara arrived at the outlook, a pink blanket was laid down with a cute picnic basket. Lynara came with a basket of her own, filled with berries. "Just to let you know, these are leftover berries from today." She smiled. "I'm surprised there was any left." Zephyr responded in turn, smiling back at her.
