It had been a while since she had reared her ugly head and actually attempted a decent conversation with someone other than herself. She was constantly alone, and it had begun to annoy her immensely. Even after she had acquired the lovely land that her hooves now rested upon, shew was still lonely. Now Valdis would never admit to anyone's face that she was feeling lonely - no, that would only ruin her impeccable reputation. However, she wished there was somebody that could share her loneliness - so she wasn't the only one feeling like a huge piece of s.hit constantly. It was quite a surprise then, when the scent of another equine wafted through the air in her direction. She immediately stiffened, her spine forming a straight line instead of the usual curved position that it held. Lifting her brown nose to the air, she inhaled sharply, her ears pulling back when she realized that the scent was one of a stallion. Baring her teeth, she swished her tail angrily through the air and stomped a front hoof. What the HELL did he think he was doing? Narrowing her eyes, she proceeded to chase him off of her lands.

However, as she made her way huffily in the direction of the stallion, she felt the presence of another. Pulling her ears back suspiciously, she glanced around, wondering what the hell could have made her feel so uncomfortable. She never felt uncomfortable in the company of others. The only one she felt uncomfortable with was herself. Confused, Valdis swung around and found herself face to face with a bat as it swooped low toward her ears. "HEY!" she hissed, snapping at the night creature with her sharp ivory teeth. The bat seemed to cackle as it flew just out of her reach, and then swung back down again. "Hey yourself!" Valdis was surprised to hear it speak to her. However, it wasn't the normal way of speaking. No, she heard the words inside her head. She paused for a moment, quite shocked. It took her a moment to find her tongue, but when she did, she was ready to chew this thing apart. "Did you just TALK to me?" she shrieked, her eyes flashing. "Why yes, I think I did, Valdis." Valdis' eyes widened. How did he know her name? She parted her jaws to ask him this question, but he cut her off before she could say anything. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Zolias, and I am your spirit proxy. I am basically your spirit outside of your body, here to guide you through whatever troubles may arise." Valdis' eyes widened. "B-but you - huh - uh - WHAT?" she stuttered, thoroughly confused. Zolias rolled his eyes. "I... AM... YOU! Basically." Valdis shook her head. "Whatever! I have a stallion to tend to, so come along, if you'd like." she grumbled, annnoyed. Zolias grinned and flapped after her, his golden-crowned head dipping up and down with his body motion.

Valdis made her way slowly toward this c.ocky stallion, wishing she could just forget him so that she could figure out who the hell Zolias was and why he was here. But she couldn't look weak. Valdis stumbled toward him, doing her best to look confident. But inside, she was truly not confident. No, she was very frightened that she wouldn't be able to defend her land. "You'll be fine, Valdis. Besides, he can't see me, so I can give you all the pointers you need and he'll have no idea that it is me telling you everything." Valdis glanced at Zolias skeptically. "You think I need your help?!?!" she near snarled. It was just then that she realized she was speaking in thoughts, not words. Huh. That was kind of cool. Zolias smirked. "Actually, yes Valdis. I think you do need my help." Valdis gnashed her teeth together and rolled her eyes. God, she was already fed up with him. Taking a deep breath, Valdis did her best to ingore him as she made her way toward this intruding stallion. He looked elderly, and he was the same color as her, a dark bay. That gave him a few points in her book. But still, he was intruding on her lands, and leaning against her favorite tree. Valdis pinned her ears to her skull and confronted him.

"Well hello there, b.astard. What the hell are you doing on my lands without permission? You'd better clear out unless you wish to be flat on your back, deader than even you can imagine. I don't give a s.hit if you're a ghost. You'll still be dead." Valdis smirked and glanced at Zolias, who was nodding his head approvingly. "That's right. Show him who's the boss of this land!!" he nearly cackled inside her head. Valdis grinned and turned a threatening gaze upon the intruding stallion. God, she hoped that he would be p.issed. She liked it when they were angry.
