I'm coming home.... Posted on November 4, 2015 at 02:29:39 AM by Braylen
Braylen
stallion | 15.1hh | palomino tovero | second of the inlet
The stallion had ventured towards the inner part of the territory where the Inlet met the Bay; the need to roam farther than the shore and also to check upon his growing family driving him to stop waiting on Isobel. Sometime during his wait Braylen had missed the birth of the twins which brought a darkness to his heart making him stick to solitude. But it never diminished his need to protect and Braylen did every waking moment.
He wasn't sure why, but on this day he had left the inner part of the Island and ventured back towards the shore. Braylen had tried to tell himself it wasn't because of Isobel; it was simply because he could no longer avoid the area. It needed to be protected just as much as the rest of the Island. But what he did not expect was to pick up the mare's scent as he drew closer to the salty water. Ears forward, Braylen picked up a trot with his crown held high and his banner flagged. He tried not to allow himself too much hope, but it was hard when her perfume filled his nose.
As he drew nearer, his blue eyes landed on her form resting upon the ground. Stopped with a jarring halt, his peered closer and saw the small bundle laying beside the silent mare. Braylen's heart thumped hard in his chest before he let out a low nicker and began to venture closer to Isobel and the new joy. He was hesitant though, unsure if he should approach her with the foal so new to the world.
