//------------------------------// // Thirteen // Story: Of Bats and Sparrows // by Silver Inkwell //------------------------------// 1000 Years Ago, Ash was a complete nervous wreck, he could barely stand in front of her and he just wished that he could die, but he had to go through with this, I mean maybe he couldn't ask her out on a date, but he could say hi to her still, right? Yeah, he could still do that, and then afterwards do tiny baby steps to the asking out on a date. He took a very deep breath in and bravely approached the mare. He hoped that he was ready for this, and if he wasn't, oh well. He walked up to the mare and then started talking to her. “Well hello there, my name is Ash Sparrow, what’s your name?” he said as only one sentence causing a smile out of her first before she giggled at him. “Wait, what was that again?” “I said ‘Well hello there, my name is Ash Sparrow, what’s your name?” “Oh, well hello there, Ash Sparrow, my name is Elara Sky .” Ash smiled, “Well, it sure is very nice to meet you here, my dearest darling miss Elara Sky,” he said. Elara blushed slightly at this remark.
