The glittering droplets splattered onto the onyx paws that dipped into the clear liquid. The kalak swirled his paw gently around, his chocolate and amber pools watched the rippling waves wash away from his paws. His mind followed a similar pattern as he sat in silence, reminiscing about his own past. Remembering all the little pups that he used to roam around with before status became their identity. The watering hole was their playground; they teased the other animals, stirred up trouble and made mischief around the grassland on their off time. The fiery soul missed those days, missed seeing the familiar faces of playmates, but they morphed into the royal prince and princesses. They shifted into their parents. Their umber pools glittered like jewels as they sat upon their thrones, bowing and listening to the praises of their parents. And eventually they forgot about their little pauper friends with mismatched pools and oddly colored pelts. They were shadows of a memory that hid in the depths beneath the stricture of their bloodlines and heritage.

Horizon sighed quietly his dark lids closing trying to reconcile his thoughts. He wanted only the good memories to last but alas the brute knew that with good came with the bad. But the black stilted boy hoped that he could find better memories here, maybe more good than bad. And it seemed fate might have turned in his favor a little bit more. A snowy angel had made a decent up the cliff face just behind the lad. His auds flicked backwards listening to her gentle paw steps approach him. The lass made her way in front of the maned wolf and sat patiently like she was expecting something from him. Horizon lifted a lid to look at the amethysts looking into his one revealed pool. He closed the lid once more. Now, now Princess no need to make the pauper feel how low he was in his homeland.

Horizon lifted his lids fully revealing his mismatched pools, not that it would have meant anything to the girl. Unless she knew of Kalak bloodlines and hierarchy, but the fiery demon doubted that. He looked at the white angels reflection in the crystal water before he looked up to her amethyst pools again. May I ask of your title misses? I am Horizon, if it please you. Horizon was almost disgusted with himself and how easily he fell back into routine of giving graces to royalty, but he pushed it all away. He wouldn’t let the past dictate the future.
