The days were growing longer as the season progressed, with the increase in time, the land presented greater opportunities. Unsurprisingly, one mare in particular revelled in this fact quite a bit - a mare that thrived on social meetings and savoured the feel of the warm sun on her back would not be loathe to admit that she favoured this season and the potential it brought.
Ah yes, it was a glorious day.
Shaking the sand out of her rather fluffy hooves, she took a few moments to glance about her in the hopes of finding at least a little company. It seemed that most soquili preferred to play in the Clearings as opposed to the beach but she was rather enjoying herself at present where she was - the cool breeze on her delicate features relaxed her.
That being said, there was still a tiny part of her that craved company even if she would have preferred for it to come to her today. Maybe a handsome stallion or four...

The world was so...
...big. Only a day out of the comfort of his tiny basket, and a baby Usdia was already lost. His 'Muma' wasn't exactly the best at her job and in the rather large field of grass, beaty black eyes couldn't find what they were looking for.
And being as small as an average house cat didn't help that much either. Barely being able to see over the tall grass, even with standing on his hind legs, the little Usdia who so easily called himself Spot (with the consent of his 'Muma', who thought the name to be utterly adorable) was completely lost.
"Maaaaa!" Spot screamed as loud as he could, trying to get Charlamagne's attention. He had no idea just yet that others were around, nor that she wasn't. The baby sighed to himself and plopped down. Being so small wasn't fun. How come Muma was so huge!?! Would he ever be like her, because then he wouldn't be lost in this grass.

"Maaaa!"
Her ears swivelled at the sound and after a few moments of deliberation she turned her head in the direction it had come from. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing that could have made such a sound and yet she was certain she had heard it. She was only five years old, barely even an adult according to her own parents and yet she was already beginning to hear things? No, she sincerely doubted that - while she may not be able to see it there was definitely something there.
However, now that she knew she couldn't see 'it' but it was definitely there she was presented with a few problems. The first was in relation to what it was, was it a soquili or was it a trap - secondly, if it was a soquili and turned out to be a baby then did she help it?
...She wasn't very good with children.
"Oh dear," She mused softly, clucking her tongue against her cheek as she flicked her tail lazily from side to side. Life always presented her with so many decisions and they weren't often entertaining...one day it would though and she would be presented with many stallions who would shower their affections on her and swear undying love.
Well, she could dream!
Nevertheless, after another short while of contemplation she finally began to drift away from the beach and towards the meadows. Nostrils flaring expectantly, awaiting any hint of a scent as she glanced over the top of the grasses and beyond.
...Still no sign.
And then it hit her - quite literally as her forelegs bumped lightly against something small at her feet. Well, that would teach her not to watch where she was going, she slowly began to drop her aze in response...

"Ooof!"
Her forelegs hit him not too hard, but still enough to make him scared. The little Usdia jumped up and his little hooves scattered everywhere until he decided to look up.
Muma!?" Was Spot's first question, as a happy smile was planted on his face but a second look told him otherwise. That couldn't be her. For one, Muma didn't have a sparkley coat, nor did she have that huge shiney thing sticking out of her forehead. Or that wierd tail...
So the newcomer made the little guy giggle, she was definitely not his Muma. But then who was she and why did she run into him? Didn't she know how small and fragile baby Usdia's could be!
Ah, well. Whomever this was could probably help him find his Muma. "Shiney!" Spot oogled, beaty little eyes lighting up.

Oh great spirits, what had the crazy humans done to this soquili? Sparkles couldn't help but widen her eyes in a dumbstruck fashion as she returned the beady stare - before her was the smallest soquili she had ever seen. She had seen flutters, they were tiny and she had found them odd but this little one was even...littler? It made her wonder what type of food the humans had been feeding their friends and more so...
How big were humans, were they smaller than they were where she came from? If that was the case then she must be a giant of sorts, towering above their miniature villages like a tree! Well, at least she was a very attractive tree and the little midget had already informed her that she was shiny in an appreciative (or what she thought to be) fashion.
"Tiny," She rhymed off, taking a few steps back as she splayed her legs somewhat and lowered her head as far as it could go. She came to the point where her horn just about came to his muzzle before addressing the little one properly...apparently she hadn't figured out he was a baby just yet.
"You are very, very small," She observed, her natural gift for stating the obvious apparent, "You really should be more careful, are you hurt?"

Oh she was huge-but only to him. The little Usdia baby hadn't seen anyone else because Charlamagne and now her, but this one was bigger than his Muma and much more noticeable. But definitely not a giant. It would only take time and the meeting of others for him to realize that.
When the female spoke, the little Usdia giggle to himself and stood up straight so his neck didn't strain from looking up so long. She had said he was tiny, right? There was, afterall no one else around...so it had been him. Tiny. Spot looked himself over, and even the ground was not a foot away from his face so he wad indeed, tiny.
"Yes!" The little one giggled, nuzzling her muzzle with the side of his tiny face.
"No, I'm okay. Spot's tiny 'cause he's a baby! Shiny lady HUGE!"
Again, his beady black eyes widened, still unsure why he was so small. Never meeting his parents or knowing he was a Usdia probably made up for it.

Sparkles gave a ridiculously girly squeal as the tiny baby nuzzled her. Now that he had informed her of what he was it seemed all the more adorable and the bubbly mare couldn't resist the urge. Egads! She had seen babies before but this one was beyond cute - not, it was the definition of cuteness and she had to do everything in her power not to prance from hoof to hoof in excitement.
"I'm not that big!" She protested teasingly, keeping her nose low so that he didn't have to strain his neck too much. It was unusual but the flirtatious mare could be gentle and motherly when she needed to be, given the circumstances she would rather the baby didn't hurt its neck from looking up at her. "Alright, so maybe I'm a little bigger than most but there are even bigger elsewhere," She cooed in a secretive tone.
"But...why are you out here all alone, where is your mother?"

Eek!
That girly squeel of hers was loud in his tiny ears, and plus she basically made the sound right in them. The boom of her squeel made the baby fall over, but he giggled nonetheless.
"Bigger than Mum-a'n'me!" Spot got up and began to admire her face that was directly in his own. The purple-y eyes and still that pointy thing that Muma didn't have. It was pink and sparkley like the rest of her body, and the little Usdia wanted to play with it!
But then she spoke again, and Spot directed his attention back to voice. "Wow!? Reawwy? How big?" Beady little eyes got wide once again, and he grinned curiously. "I wanna be big!!"
"Mum-a is....Mum-a is..." The baby turned his head to gaze through the grass, but could see nothing but grass. "Uh...I dunno. Can't see anything but green stuffs! Mum-a not far." In all truth, she probably wasn't far at all, he just couldn't see her.

Just as well he couldn't play with it, as shiny as it was it was also exceptionally sharp and potentially dangerous. Sparks wouldn't be the first to tell him off for touching it at such a young age and she didn't want to be responsible for him getting hurt. That being said, as he asked about the size of the other soquili she smiled teasingly and backed up a little so she wouldn't land on him.
"This big!" She declared, rearing onto her hindlegs with a flourish of fluffy white hooves. Within moments she had smacked to the ground again and shook out her mane as she lowered her head once more, "Some with huge leathery wings and others with big feathery wings!" She explained before furrowing her brow thoughtfully.
"You can't see...well..." She slowly began to lay herself down on the ground and glanced briefly at her back, "Do you think you could climb up?" She asked curiously. He wasn't that big, she was sure she could carry him...

Sharp and dangerous weren't things that bothered the baby Usdia very much. In fact, he didn't exactly...know what either of those meant. Sharp, perhaps yes, but Spot also had the mindset that sharp things wouldn't dare hurt something so small and fragile as himself.
Black eyes watched as she stood up as far as she could, and the Usdia could do nothing but gasp. There were things out there that were seriously...that big!?! Like hundreds of him put together in one body! If one of those giants came by, he'd easily be squished. But one thing puzzled him about the mare's explaination. Something that any normal soquili would probably not be aware that a Usdia had no idea what they were.
"What's a wing!?" Spot giggled, trying to picture huge feathers like birds have on something that wasn't supposed to have them. He quickly gathered himself up as the large mare spoke again, and nodded at her words. "Okay!" The baby wiggled himself onto her back-hind legs reaching as far as they could go until he got a good enough grip to pull the rest of his body up. "What now?"

She was aware of how unusual this looked, with the smallest baby she had ever seen on her back. Nevertheless, she pushed herself to her hooves once again and towered above the long grasses. From here, he would have the perfect vantage point to see his mother as well as the other soquili that were lingering about in the grasses.
She may not have had her own children but she remembered she had always enjoyed being able to see the sights and sounds. She'd always gotten a little frustrated when she couldn't, to the point that her father had allowed her to rear up and place her front hooves against his side so that she could see above the grasses and into the distance... In ways, she dearly missed her father.
"A wing is like the thing a bird uses to fly about in the air, only on a soquili they're much bigger!" She explained, growing accustomed to the weight upon her back.

And he was definitely able to. A small spotted mare stood not to far off, with a lion at her side. She seemed unaware that her 'son' was gone, but safe with someone else. Ah! The baby giggled at the sight of her, happy to know that when the sparkley lady left him, he could return to Charlamagne no problem.
A quick glance behind him, and he could see, as Sparkles had said, larger soquili then he ever imagined. Some far off in the distance had something on their back, feathery and folded...which Spot assumed could only be those 'wing' things. Birds had ones that looked exactly the same. Others looked like Mum-a, and a few had those pointy things that the big lady he stood on also wore. The Usdia couldn't see any that were his size (for obvious reasons) and silently wondered if he was the only one...
The mare's voice snapped the baby back into reality, and he slowly tore his gaze away from the amazing sight before him. Spot nodded his head and shifted weight on her back to make them both more comfortable. "Oooh, Spot sees that now. Can...so..so...quili fly in the air too!?" An amazed look on his face appeared, even more interested than he was when he first climbed on her back.
The world was full of surprises, and he was only just finding out!

"Oh yes, they can fly really high!" She had seen a few herself. She hadn't seen the leather winged ones fly but more often than not you saw a Wind soquili in the sky before you saw them on the ground. If you saw them in the sky and cried out, they often descended to greet you in a courteous manner but there were some who weren't quite as pleasant as she might have liked...
"If you call out to them they'll sometimes land and talk to you," She explained, beginning to walk in a slow relaxed manner so that the scenery on the horizon changed and more things came into view. Be they Soquili, critter or just plants she was able to show him from his back and she doubted any other little baby had received quite the same unique experience!
She hoped one day he felt proud he had ridden on a Unicorn's back, especially one as pretty as her!
"Even the babies can fly, but they're not as fast as the bigger ones. They swoop and dive like birds, they dance in the air while soquili like you and I will dance on the ground!"

Oh yes, they can fly really high!
Well dangit as if that was the last thing that he needed to learn. Really high? Like, he looked up, as far as the eye could see high? Or just above the trees high? Either way, the baby suddently wished he had a pair of wings himself. If he wasn't adorable already, then those would make him irresistible. And plus, flying with the strong wind that normally blew him over would make him stronger against the current, wouldn't it?
Hmm...Spot pondered the unicorn's words for a moment, and it literally only took a second before he tried it himself. "Heeeellllllooooo!!!" The baby called out, having absolutely no idea how to truely get their attention. Hopefully that was good enough, if not made Sparkley lady would help.
Eyes grew wider and wider with every step that she took, bouncing on her back as lightely as possible to keep up with her pace. He didn't exactly want to fall off. But the scenery was incredible. Stuff that he hadn't been able to see before were now right before his very eyes, it was almost as if he could reach out and touch the things. Heck, being this far off the ground was definitely as good as flying if he had anything to say about it.
And perhaps, her wish would come true if before that day came, Spot learned what a Unicorn really was and how much of an honor it was to ride, let alone meet one. Small ponies like him were rather shunned, but he didn't have to know that just yet, did he?
