Feeling Blue (Valdemar)

It had been a long, hard, boring day of playing scribe at the diplomatic meetings and Meyla was ready for a long soak in one of the Vale's pools. Her tunnel vision was bad enough that she actually walked past Mirrum and was halfway to the stairs of her assigned elke before the multi-hued vision registered. Mindspeach had never been Meyla's strong point, so her garishly bedecked Companion was spared her initial reaction. With a tired sigh, the Herald turned to face her partner.

"You're blue."

The previously white Companion nodded agreeably, a mischievous sparkle dancing in her blue eyes. She tossed a multi-colored mane and danced in a circle, showing off the various colored designs. Two not-as-brave Hawkbrothers waved paintbrushes, hidden safely behind their equine canvas.

Companions are not quite horses, set apart visually by deep blue eyes, pure white coats and hooves that chime in dulcet tones. This is the norm, and no one in Valdemar really pays it much mind. Nor do the Companions themselves, born into the world as something a little more than horse, a little less than spirit.

Groveborn Companions, however, are thrust upon the world full-grown and childlike. Everything is new and fascinating to a Groveborn who’s just wandered into the world. So it wasn't that much of a surprise for the King's Own Herald to find his Companion playing in a corner, tapping out a melody with his hooves.
