Description
note! the preview pic is diffraent but thats becuase photoshop dosent allow me to do big animations. _._but after around 50 hours iv finally finish this.
story:
Jay paced back and forth at Kryptic Stables, she was hired on a trial period, fixing things, and makings saddles to fit some of the nordanners at the stable. But today was different, it was the first day she was getting to work with a horse, one she was told was being leased. But this horse was her project, and she was set in her ways to make it the best she could...and that was at the Nordanner Masquerade Ball....witch was still a weeks away...but she has to plan the moves, teach the horse, and work with him. And this would be probably her only chance to show Baylee and Zella she can fit in at this stable.
She glanced up when she saw a trailer. "So I get this project all to myself?" She asked Zella as she sat on the top fence next to her.
"Yes, all yours, you said your good...so me and Baylee are giving you a chance to prove it." Zella said as she glanced at the truck and trailer as they stopped I front of them.
The pearls stallion snorted and pawed the ground as he looked out at the two humans outside the trailer, and spooked a bit when the back of the trailer door slammed on the ground. Then another male human this time, came in and slowly unhooked him to take him out. He shorted and his ears pinned back. He wasn't a big fan of males and humans in general since his last home has to give him back....at lest they think it was his last home. He pulled his head back and pulled against the lead, pulling it out of the males hands before trotting off. Zella frowned and jumped off the fence to get the horse as the male human cussed and swore as he got up and dust himself off. He glanced at Zella as she quietly grabbed his lead rope. "There there..." She said softly as she moved closer to him and gently rubbed his face. "Shhh.'" She said as he calmed down and watched her, glancing at the male as he slammed the trailer door shut again and got in the truck to drive off, muttering about hating this job.
Zella sighed and slowly lead him over to Jay. "You like him?" She asked as Jay looked him over.
"He's stunning, I love the markings on his rump are so cute....she supper unique too." She said as she gently held out her hand. He lead forward and sniffed it slowly before snorting and touching her hand.
"His name is Ceil, and I do belive you have your work cut out for you." Zella said as she offered him the lead rope. "One month." She said as Jay tock his head rope and carefully ran her mechanical hand down his head, witch scared him a bit but she quickly tock control again. "I know...thanks." Jay said and Zella just nodded and walked away.
Jay smiled and gently stroked him. "You gotta trust me." She said softly as she watched him. He watched her fire eyes quietly for a moment before almost nodding his head. She smiled and then lead him off as she quietly talked to him, happy thinking that he might of been listening.

4 WEEKS LEFT:
Jay sat by a somewhat shady tree, leaves just starting to fall as she watched Ciel play around in a paddock. She sighed and glanced down at her sketchbook, tons of sketches of him as she tried to design some tack for him. She sighed and leaned her head back, she only had four weeks to make something worth while.
Ciel glanced at her and whinnied out before trotting over and leaning down and grabbing the new sketch she was working on and then trotted off. "Hay!" She said as she quickly got up and went after him. "This isn't funny, give that back!" She yelled and smiled as she chased him.
He soon slowed down and glanced back at her as she tried to sneak up in him. "You move like a well build machine...." She then smiled and watched him. "You want me to do something Iv wanted to forget." She said as he dropped the paper and shock himself off.
Jay rolled her eyes and watched him. "Metal gears....and a music box...." She said softly. "My past brought back by a horse...clever." She said as she walked over to him. "I sounded if you really trust me...." She said softly as she held out her metal arm. "I'm over 300 hundred years old...." She the snapped her fingers and a bronze and blue flame appeared. "This dam arm changed me..." She said as ciels head shot back at the flame. She then pushed it away. "It seems you will get bronze and blue..." She said as held out her hand as he walked closer to her. "Come on...tack first." She said as she grabbed his halter and quietly lead him off.
The rest of the day she sketched out the tack and quietly made it as ciel looked out from his stall and connecting paddock ever once in awhile, couriuse to what Jay was doing. But it tock her a week to get what she wanted and a good fit for Ciel, making sure to leave room for his wings that would hopefully grow durning there performance.
----------
3 WEEKS LEFT:
That week wasn't very productive, just training Ciel to follow her lead without her riding him, she wanted to do a dance after he came on stage....like a dressage without the rider. So in the morning and night she would go over things with him, and he was smart he learned quickly, but the test came when he needed to do it in his saddle-less tack.
"Come on Boy....just move. We spent all week working on this....now that you have a little wee bit of weight your a pile of mush and forget?" She asked as she tried to get him to at lest walk. He had his ears back and refused to move.
"What about an apple for you?" She asked. His ears moved up right at the word apple. He pawed at the ground and whinnied. "Ohh...so an apple gets your attention." She said and smirked and just left him standing there as she made an apple appear and she tock and bite of it. "Mhhhh, good." She said as she turned away from him. Ciel slowly walked closer to her and leaned around her to try and get the apple. But she just turned again and tock another bite. He snorted and nudged her. She moved forward a bit and glanced back at him. "Want this? She asked, showing him the apple. He whinnied and bobbed his head. "Well...will you move?" She asked and he walked around her to stand in front of her. "Good." She said and gave him the apple before getting to work.
----------
2 WEEKS LEFT:
Jay didn't spend any time with Ciel other then to convince him that the music box she was making was good for him and she could make him appear and disappear, witch wasn't to easy, because every time she tried to close it with him in it, he spooked and would jump off. So it tock more then a few apples to get him to be ok with the moving box.
"Come on..don't be to scared." She said as she sat next to the box and sighed. "I'll never get this done." She muttered and shock her head before looking down thinking.
"I know things are hard.....trust me, I was scared when I got this stupid thing attached to me, was made fun of for being diffrent, but in my time...different meant mutation, a freak. Being scared is normal...but things change for the better...sometimes." She said softly and got up. "I don't know why I'm bothering, you probably don't understand a word I'm saying." She mumbled and walked inside the barn. Ciel lowered his head and watched her before slowly following her. They stopped with the box, she wasn't going to risk his life or trust for a show.
----------
1 WEEK LEFT:
This week went by quickly, as Jay spent most of it working on a new idea. Ciel was left in his stall to watch her work. He trotted over to the fence when he saw her sitting there. He nudged her and watched her as she glanced at him. "I don't know what to do....and I don't have the time." She said softly and got down. "Maybe this box...well music box can be in the background." She said and grabbed some leaves off the ground and glanced back at him.
Only days left, and all she had was her costume, his tack and a small dressage routine she worked on.
----------
SHOW TIME:
Jay paced back a forth in front of Ciels stall, worried about her performance and if it would be good enough. Ciel nudged her and pulled her hair. "Hay." She muttered and moved away from him. "Stop that, I'm worried as it is." She added and sighed before grabbing his tack to put it on as she waited for her turn.
She quietly walked in around, her dress drawing against the sand as she chewed her nails. Ciel snorted and followed her as she lead her around. Not sure what to do as they waited for there turn.
Soon the lights went dull and they slowly pushed her music box towards its spot in the middle of the arena. Ciel spotted it and pulled away from Jay and trotted over to it. He whinnied and looked back at Jay who was watching him. "What are you doing....I told you were not using that...." She said as he pawed the ground, almost like he wanted to give it another go.
"You sure?" She asked as she walked over, and he basically nodded his head and watched her. She smiled and nodded as she opened the box and had him drink the two potions she bought for him. "Ready?" She said as he climbed in the box and shock himself out as it slowly closed and locked.
The box was then place in the middle off the arena, the screen in the bCk turned to a cloudy full moon night, small pumpkins light the area. And once the dark music startted, a slowly light that looked like it was coming from the moon light the music box and Jay up. She smiled and snapped her fingers and pointed to the box as it ticked and unlocked, Ciel as he slowly reared up, allowing her small wings to appear and his tail to grow. He slowly landed back down as the box closed quickly once again. Jay smiled, and soon let it open and Ciel got off and the two of them quickly continued there routine.
Jay enjoyed her last four weeks, but knew the next day she was giving him back, somewhat hopping that this experience would get her her own horse....even if she wanted him.
