Description
The day was fresh and bright as Notte was led in the direction of the ring. The birds twittered in the distance and a soft breeze blew, carrying with it the faint smell of a distant shore. Her raven-haired rider stopped her at the gate and then mounted, gently landing on her back. She liked this man, and over the past couple of days they had grown closer through grooming and short walks. This was their first day of riding together.

After a lap around the ring with a loose rein, the man asked Notte to pick up a trot. She complied, and they continued through the center in a large circle. That's when she smelled it, and her ears pinned as she snorted. By it, of course she meant the Nightmare.

The slobbering witch stepped into the arena, orbs in tow, mounted by a girl with a length of red hair. Notte was spotted immediately, she was the only other in the ring, and the aubergine mare made every attempt to inch closer to her.

"How ya been, Nordie? Haven't seen you in a while." It was true. Her rider had noticed the tension between them at the very first moment, and promptly had her moved to a new stall.

"Oh, just fine. Much better, actually. You haven't changed much, still as ugly as ever." Their banter continued through the session, and their riders tried desperately to keep them apart. But after that foul mare tried to nip her on the rump, it was decided to move Notte to the lunging ring to work on the ground.

As she ambled around the small, circular ring, she swore she could hear the Nightmare laughing.


Well I imagined the story to be better, but here is part 2 of 4 of our little story with Dee and poor Notte. The picture turned out about as bad as I expected, but I was to the point where I was done messing with it. The next one will be playing with perspective, so prepare your eyes for that. It may be a disaster xD

Gorgeous hun and suprised Notte didn't kick Dee in the jaw, then again might be because she isn't back home where she knows she'd get away with it XD

*BEWARE LONG COMMENT AHEAD*

ASDFGHJKL IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL I CAN'T EVEN. I especially like the little stories that you have to go along with these, they're really well written. Now I'm getting jealous of your writing and your art. What CAN'T you do? (I don't really know much about your Stable RP thing, but I've been following your stories for a bit, so I'll try my best with the comment. If I get things wrong you can't throw stones or rotten fruit at me.) I love the way you did the facial expressions, not just on the people, but on the horses themselves. You can see that Notte is really irritated by the Nightmare, even without reading the description. I love the mischievous look on the Nightmare horse, plus how nervous the riders look. Your perspective is getting a lot better, as are your people. I know I sound like a broken record, but the people DO look better every time you draw them.

PS Yay for upcoming perspective drawings

I can't do a cartwheel. Or run a marathon. Or read minds. Or run for president. Or turn an entire army away with the sound of my name. I could go on xD

Thank you so much! And please, your writing is much better than mine. I really enjoy reading it. And I do appreciate that you're trying to follow! I'm a bit scatterbrained and it's not the most thrilling story, so I don't know if anyone else really does except for Notte's owner

And I like broken records that say nice things I think my people are getting better as well. After I do another one of those sessions with this website: [link] to warm up, I'll start sketching your commission.

And oh god, you better prepare for those perspective drawings. Your eyes may burn.
