Pale violet colors spread across the horizon along with deep shades of purple complimented it nicely as Apollo hung lazily in the sea’s embrace ready to head in for the evening. Sunsets such as these always made Lyden find peace when his emotional and mental aspects were in chaos. Closing his icy sapphire spheres the pale king breathed in and out slowly allowing the salty air to engulf his nostrils. It soothed the disturbed man and when the scent of cae came soon after he opened his gaze and searched the shoreline landing on her just as she leaped into the water.
Consumed with fear that she was going to leave Lyden called to her and bounded forward forcing his limbs into a canter as he moved with ease from the pines down into the shoreline. Without hesitation Lyden slid up next to his beautiful pearlino and draped his neck over her back burying his nose into her damp mane and breathed her scent in long and hard as if though this would be the last time he would ever get to touch her or smell her.
”I’m so happy that you’re finally here with me my sweet angel” he paused thinking of how easy it felt to be around her and for some reason she was keeping him grounded, ensuring that whatever was happening around himself and his family, she was by his side and it’s all he wanted. ”I was thinking when you and I were forced to be apart, how my father felt so lost and alone without my mother. I never understood it because back then I couldn’t comprehend such a bond, even as I got older and my family left, watching my sister Sylvia had that bond with Midas just confused me” looking out across the sea Lyden smiled. ”I suppose I felt jealous of my parents and sister, however I don’t anymore. With you I finally understand that bond and I finally understand what it means to care for someone so fiercely as I do you that you would do anything for them” he paused once more hoping he wouldn’t scare her ”I know we don’t know one another that well but what I do know is we have a bond, a connection so strong that it cannot be explained, just embraced” now finally he fell silent waiting for the gentle mares thoughts.
