Meet Nishanti"

They tramped down the slop leading to the stables. When they reached the enormous stables Nico stopped and turned to face her.
"Right, Kiddo." He started as he unbolted the giant gate of the huge archway entrance. "I want you to meet someone quite dear to me."
She raised her eyebrows; not that much was 'dear' to Nico. Whoever was in here must really be quite close to him, she felt a pang of jealously that was completely uncalled for. They entered the building and shortly exited through another door that lead into a sort of courtyard that had the backs of the stables as the surrounding walls and an entrance to the forest as the opposing 'wall' to the door. The stable had everything that would be expected to see in a normal stable and more, it was filled with equipment of various purposes and the noises of horses. There was the smell of equines, hay and straw which Andros found pleasant as she sniffed at the air.
"You must never go her without me, Andromeda. Do you understand?" Nico suddenly barked sternly at her. She nodded in confusion, what would cause her harm here? They were only horses, surely?
"Who are we waiting for?" she asked slowly as his soft expression returned at the perplexity on her face. He grinned and gestured her to follow him as he moved over to the wall, she obliged and they leaned against the wall that the door was on.
"My horse expert." He sniffed. "He'll be with us in a moment, he's just…" he paused for some reason unknown to her and the grin widened. "… tending to a mare."
Tending to a mare …Interesting, to Andros this was quite odd and with the little smile that played on his lips it was beginning to sound like someone was up to some 'funny business'. She eyed him as he tapped the tip of her nose affectionately with his finger, like a parent would do to their children. Then she faced the door as she heard the sound of hooves approach it from the other side, heavy hooves.
What she saw next that stepped out of the dark doorway of the Stables and into the bright morning sunlight shocked her beyond words. Now, she had heard many a tale of such a creature that was now walking calmly out in front of her but never did she think that she would actually see one. "Centaur…" she gasped in awe and at the sound of the tiny utterance one of the creature's ears flicked to their direction and it's head snapped round immediately after.
"Andromeda, meet Nishanti." Nico introduced him (well, she presumed it was male from the fairly obvious endowment visible that a horse stallion would posses.) smugly. "Nishanti, this is Andromeda." Andros attempted a sheepish smile to the huge man/ horse creature before her, it was not returned. However what was seemingly present on his face was an expression of midst confusion and interest.
He had to be one of the most beautiful creatures she had ever seen- besides Nico, of course. His skin was an odd ivory-like colour that made the vampires of this place look tanned; however it seemed to work and blended in with the fur of his horse body, being the same colour. His horse fur was incredibly white as was his ridiculously long silky hair and tail; he had a metallic sheen to his coat not unlike the Akhal Teke horse and as he had stepped out into direct sunlight it shone like liquid fire with its iridescent gleam. She ogled at the sheer size of him and the amount of power that was clearly noticeable in the muscles of his legs. He was built like a draft horse, not too dissimilar too a Clydesdale horse or Boulonnais and probably about the size one, and was probably had the same strength of one too; human and horse end alike. He must have been about 20 hands tall if measuring by normal horse standards to his withers and, if adding the human part of him too, must measure roughly 11ft-odd tall. He was enormous and she felt rather belittled by him as he began to slowly moved towards her with obvious caution. He inclined his face towards her until it was just above her level before her. If she had to describe him in two words they would have to of been Power and Beauty. Despite his musculature and heavy appearance he moved with gracility and grandeur. She looked directly into his eyes as he observed her silently. Not only was his body- human and horse equally – literally stunning but his face was too; his eyes were large and of the most electric blue, similar to those that may be found on a Siberian husky. The skin immediately surrounding his eyes were a pale pinkish tinge and where his human ears should of been there were long white horse ears poking out between curtains of his silvery hair. His shimmering tresses were also covering his hooves as long silky featherings.
As she stood there gawking at him he snorted quietly and backed away a few paces like a ghost; he was so quiet that he didn't seem to actually be touching the ground at all now that he was outside.
