Echo's Song

((lol!!! Yeah, it'll be fine if we jump to the next day soon. Besides, I think they might be running out of things to say that wouldn't reveal too many of their secrets. And neither do I mind if it is the same day when Shad is supposed to meet WinterBerry. =3 ))

[[As the religion is still a rough scetch (not even typed up anywhere) I'll be very general. ^-^]]

Echo pretended not to notice the other's embarrassment or confusion. She smiled and gave a short laughter, which then jingled and bounded about, joining in the crackling of the fire with a cheerful tone.

"Oh, I suppose everyone chooses that for themselves," she said. "I have seen many ponies who do not worship the Moon coming to the temple to meditate. Faith is such a private matter. Myself... I don't suppose I have a creed or a doctrine." She gave a slightly reluctant sort of a laugh. "Well, I suppose after living in the Land of Gods and having witnessed their eternal struggles, one may find it hard to believe anymore."

((lol. Okies then to the religion stuff. I’m ready to jump to the next day when you are.))


NeonCobalt wasn’t sure whether he was to expect her reaction to his reply to her question which was, well, a question. Confused at first, her magical laughter eased that nervous worry that had slowly piled up at the bottom of his stomach, and he settled with a little more ease, knowing that she probably wasn’t too concerned with it.

"Oh, I suppose everyone chooses that for themselves," she said. "I have seen many ponies who do not worship the Moon coming to the temple to meditate. Faith is such a private matter. Myself... I don't suppose I have a creed or a doctrine." She gave a slightly reluctant sort of a laugh. "Well, I suppose after living in the Land of Gods and having witnessed their eternal struggles, one may find it hard to believe anymore."

He chuckled and smiled at her response, though a part of him wasn’t too sure of what to make of it. He wasn’t at all troubled by her admission when it came to lack of religious beliefs.

“I suppose it must be strange though, one like yourself coming from a land of powerful beings who, as gods, would be worshiped,” he commented. “You probably have seen much more behind the workings of the god folk compared to the ponies here. I admit myself though, I have no care for worshiping large spherical rocks that circle the earthy world because of the gravitational pull on them. The moon may be fascinating, but I can’t see how it could influence our way of living. It doesn’t really do anything, but influence the tides, but that’s all just science.” The unicorn shrugged, though he had the oddest impression that maybe he said a little too much that what would be considered acceptable.

“I dunno. I just can’t bare the idea of trusting my own life into another’s hands. I’d like to think I have a control over my own life, and that what happens doesn’t necessarily always have to be because a greater being thinking it should be so. As for the faith thing and worshiping the inner self-“ he smiled, chuckling to himself a little. “Well, yeah, I guess meditation does one good. I guess that each have their own belief on how things are to operate.”


(((whoa, strange reply. XD I'm thinking all strange 'cause I just got back from finishing my exams. I'm being a little more open today with my thoughts I think. Had such a bit rant in my essay, and it probably wasn't the smartest move either.))

[[lol it's a good reply! Brings out Cobalt's thoughts well.

I think I'll come back later with a reply to end this and move on. Don't think the religion discussion is going to get very interesting since neither believes into anything and she'd rather not talk about her connection to the gods. ]]
