The brisk winds of the mountain beat against his body, piercing like blades deep into his flesh, tormenting and cutting without breaking down into the warm flowing life beneath. It is enough to send many back, enough to break the strongest of determination in any sane beast's mind. But Joker has never made a claim on sanity...has he? He fights with the elements, striking out for his goal with a fierce stubbornness. This mountain will not beat him.
The air is harder to breath up here at this elevation and he pants raggedly, the mist of his breath whipped away from him before his eyes can perceive it. His mane and tail flap wildly like banners being torn from their flagpoles. His green eyes squint against the blustering wind, searching for the elusive mare for her wisdom.
He had been told by some that she is a spirit, dangerous and beautiful, but he has never fell for the rumors before. He will see her for his own eyes soon if she dare show her face before him. “Namid! I have come to seek a quest of flame from you!” And he waits with edgy patience, waiting for the white fem to show her face and he can finally see for himself whether the words of the others has been true.

Namid watched the determind stallion closley.He called out to her “Namid! I have come to seek a quest of flame from you!”It was fire he desired, well she was in a fairly good mood today.Namid went over to the stallion.
Why hello there, I have seen very few souls venture up here. Not many are quite determind as you. I see that you come to get fire, and why do you think you deserve it?
It was a question she asked quite often Why do you think you deserve it? The answers were always music to her ears she loved to hear why they though they deserved it.This fellow seemed so determined to get it, she would wait and she if he deserved it.
Not many horses ventured up this far on the mountain, she was surprised he hadn't turned back.For up here the wind was very fierce, and the air was thin and cold.The snow was also another big obstacle because it was so deep, and sometimes the snow was falling so hard one couldn't see then misstep and fall to their death, or the snow came down so quickly you could be trapped in it and die.

Though he despises it, Joker tries very hard to have patience with the mare, forcing his fore to be still instead of pawing at the loose snow beneath him. His ears fold back to protect their innermost parts, keeping them warm against the back of his neck. He wishes Namid would not play too long, the cold feels like it is biting at his very soul. So he decides to be quick about answering her.
“I have the strength needed to control fire, the determination to face it and work with it until it’s submissive.” Is that good enough? What else would make him worthy? If he goes on any further he might seem conceited and selfish and she may choose not to give him a quest because of that. So it’s a trick question and he’s prepared to lie or skate around the truth if he must. If she plays tricky then so will he.

Namid watched the stallion growing Impatient.She was used to the cold weather up here but he was not, no horses where.A larger gust of wind swept by them, she enjoyed it up here.There was no snow falling which was unusual.
You see I can't give you the power until you can bring me something.It would be so unfair, would it not?I'll tell you what there are beautiful white rocks at the bottom of this mountain, I enjoy the weather up here and I don't want to venture down to the bottom, so you can get the rocks for me.
She did like the rocks at the bottom of the mountain, but she wasn't in a mood to go down to the bottom of the mountain."It was so good he came along," She thought to herself.Another very strong and cold gust of wind blew past the pair.
Well, you had better get going, It's a long way down.By the way watch you step.
She wasn't saying it in a mocking or mean she simply said it as advice.She did hope he wouldn't be too long.

The stallion bobs his head in answer to the fem, turning immediately and making his careful way back down the mountain. If this is what he has to do in order to acquire fire then he is determined to fulfill it by any means possible. A small break from the harsh climate of these slopes might refresh him and strengthen his resolve even. Inside he can feel excitement growing, so intent upon the task at hand that even the voices are drowned out by his enthusiasm. Or maybe this wind truly is deafening.
He makes it to the bottom of the mountain with little event, not to say that it was easy. He searches along the ground for the stones Namid desires, searching until he finds them. They are pretty, or at least they would be if his eyes weren’t blind to such things, white with almost a liquid overlay that sparkles down to the pure, icy core beneath. But all he sees is the ticket to his prize.
Bending his head down, he picks several up in his teeth and makes his return to the spot where he had left the white fae. He climbs, making it wearily to the same place (or what he recognizes as such, his prints had been lost to the weather by the time he started back up. Laying the stones on a level spot, he whinnies out a call for her. “I have returned with your stones, Namid. Here they are.”

Namid watched as the stallion slowly climbed back up the mountain.He had the rocks and then he laid them down and called for her.She quickly appeared before him.She carefully examined the rocks that were set before her.Taking her time she replied.
They are such Beautiful rocks, thank you.
She said this while still looking at them.She had almost forgot about his power.She figured she would wait a bit longer before granting it for him.Fire is a very dangerous power, and she knows that."This stallion has such determination he Should use it well," she thought to herself.
O yes, I grant you the power of Beginner Fire. Use it well and use it wisely, It is a very dengerous element.
The White mare almost like vanished into thin air.She watched from afar the stallion standing there.
OOC:Sorry it has taken me so long
