:new: I got her! :la: An official ref will be coming as soon as I have time ♥
Trying out for :iconmeykka:'s beautiful Halloween Parisian Cabaret! I hope I get her, she's gorgeous :la:
Will probably go back and add more detail when I have the time. Now to conquer that mountain of homework!


The gibbous moon hid itself behind a stray dark cloud, giving the near-Hallows evening an extra spooky feel. From the cozy comfort of the fireside armchair, Izzy glanced out the frosty window, admiring the temporary pumpkin patch. Gnarled vines tangled amongst the plump orange pumpkins, creating a beautiful array of colorful disorder. Everything in the field seemed to glow as the moon reemerged from behind it's dark shield; moonlight splashed the surfaces of the pumpkins and a light breeze rustled the vines.
In the ephemeral moonlight, Izzy saw a flash from the corner of her eye and quickly turned her head in its direction. At first, all was quiet and there was nothing to be seen, but then a series of glimmers appeared in the same area as before. Upon seeing this, Izzy hastily turned down the gas fireplace and switched off the light of her small cabin. She stared through the window in anticipation; her eyes struggled in the darkness, but after several minutes they adjusted to the lack of light, and she was able to make out the faint shape of a horse. Curious and excited, Izzy grabbed her camera and quietly left the house, shuffling in the cold October air. When she was finally able to get close enough to the horse, Izzy was shocked.
The mare was gorgeous. Her ebony coat was embedded with what looked like orange and yellow jewels, which explained the flashes Izzy had seen from the window. White ghost-like markings wound themselves up the mare's legs, and a mark resembling a skull appeared on her face, topped with a star-like splash of orange and yellow. What drew Izzy's attention the most, however, was the plume of luscious feathers emerging from the horse's head, spanning out into a large, soft fan of russet and gold.
Izzy stared at the beautiful mare in awe and pondered at its presence. The horse's bright colors and flashy design should have meant certain death in the dangerous moor, especially during dark winter nights like this one. If this mare was to be seen again, she would definitely need to be kept in the stables with the tamable and show horses.
At the moment, however, Izzy did not worry herself too much; she needed to get closer if she wanted a perfect documentary shot.
Despite her efforts, the dried vines crunched beneath her feet as she tread towards the horse. The stunning mare pricked her ears and began to trot away, cautious but unhurried. Izzy swore and hurriedly brought her camera to her eye. With a quick focus and a snap, she had successfully captured the mare in a wonderful photo.
Izzy sighed in content at the outcome. She lifted her head just in time to see the mare disappear over a hill, glittering in the October moon.
Tomorrow she would try and lead a team to find the mare again to insure her safety. For the mare's sake, Izzy hoped she would be found.
