Calcifer.

Fluttershy's new friend.

The tidal sound of the tall waterfall was relaxing, and a beautiful sight.

Trees surrounded the small clearing which nested around the falls.

Rocks bedded the clearing; most stones were white, some were dark grey.

A river was born from the bottom of the waterfall; it crashed into a deep pool, and the water cut it's way through the forest beyond.

The air was ever-longingly cool, vapid, and moist.

The full moon was sky-scraping above, surrounded in a vial of darkness and stars; the pendents of the night provided a very fluent dusty light, which made the falling water glow.

Fluttershy was huddled in the long black jacket her friend gave to her for warmth.  She was fast asleep, and blew her breaths in near silence.  Her sleeping body lay next to a tree on the edge of the clearing, where some soft overgrown grass grew and played as her mattress.

Calcifer looked up at the moon swimming in it's own bath.  He let his body float in the pool, only his face protruding from the water to breath.

The underwater cacophony of the water crashing into the pool was like music to his ears.

His arms and legs dangled in weightlessness as the currents of the river tried to take him away.

He stayed in his one spot though.

He remembered his favorite song and played it in his head.

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you...  and everything that you do.... and they were all yellow...

The song reminded him of his wedding day when he was still alive and on Earth.

When he remembered Isabelle's face he paused "Yellow" in his conscious.

He looked at the sky for awhile, blank minded.

"I'll see you soon Bell." He said to himself, "Tell Ashley Daddy says Hi..."

His words hummed back in his head.

The sky gave him no response, although a gust of wind rushed through the forest, close to where the pony was sleeping.

He smiled, "Thank-you for delivering the message Nuntius." He said to the wind.  The gust only blew harder.

Even though his face was wet from bathing, he could still feel the tears fall down his face, and merge with the river.

Calcifer moved his right hand to his forehead, then to the mid of his chest, to his left shoulder then his right and prayed.

"God, be with us..." He whispered.
