Days had passed and another season was coming to a close. Braylen had wandered through the Forest, his blue eyes ever watchful on his herd and that of his father's. It was strange having his mother here as well. Several times he had found himself at her side again; lingering in her warmth and quiet support before straying back to the duties of a maturing stallion. He had even met his sister; Moonshine, although he hadn't yet seen her twin and figured her to be with Lyden, another family member he had not seen in quite some time.
With a sigh he steps from the treeline and out onto the shore. Looking out at the crashing waters, they looked dark and angry to match the sky above. A storm was rolling in and the faint rumble of thunder made his ears prick forward. It would still be some time before the rains reached their island and Braylen found himself content to just watch and listen as his thoughts whirl nearly uncontrollably about many different things. Mostly that which lie within the very territory he was guarding.
Turning the stallion begins to walk down the shoreline, his hooves careful not to catch any debris that the water had tossed up among the rock and sand. It gave him more to do that just wallow in what dogged his every thoughts until one day he decided to do. But that day was not today. Not, today he would only carry on with the same pattern of each and everyday.
