I'm flashy but intelligent Posted on January 22, 2021 at 10:09:34 PM by Rolex
I was a yearling now. The world was large around me. I knew so little about it though; I had explored so much in my young days already. This was my first year. I'd taken the bull by the horns though and charged forward with my eyes wide open. This eventually brought me toward the meadow. My instincts led me in the direction of a pair of horses. A mother and a child. A little filly. I wasn't sure why I was letting my instincts lead me in their direction. Perhaps it was because of how similar the girl and I were. In fact; we were practically identical in coloring. The difference being that she was a girl and I was a boy. Was she a sister of mine? It didn't happen by accident that one was so similar to another right? She had to be related to me. She just had to be!
This brought so much excitement to me. I realized I was not the only one. I was thrilled at the chance of perhaps getting to know a sibling of mine. Perhaps we could become close? It was a chance in the dark. I heard the mothers of children were pretty protective of them and could be aggressive toward another. I could only hope that this mare would give me the chance of getting to know this child. Mother had raised me thus far to be independent and courageous. She'd instilled deep in me that there is no room for fear in normal circumstances. You could not fear the unknown or it would eat you up inside. I wouldn't let this happen. Mother made sure of that. She was giving me more freedom from the tight reigns too. I was a yearling after all now.
My attention is shifted as the mother yells at her daughter to return to her side. The filly had merely looked at her and moved to continue heading in the direction of the sandy beaches of the shore of this mainland island. I grinned a bit as I took this into my thoughts. So young was this filly and she moved with no fear. How curious and intriguing. I liked this possible sibling of mine's nature already. I moved in their direction still though; I made no attempts to move too close as I did not wish to have the mother fear her child's safety. I was not here to bring harm. In fact; I was here to hopefully get to know this filly; this more than likely sister of mine. Half or not; we were more than likely blood related and that meant the world to me. Family was everything. Mother too had taught this to me well.
I pulled myself from my thoughts again as I studied the filly's movements and then, turned my attention to the mare. I spoke. "She and I are so similar. I wonder if father was hers too. I am of Andreania and Apollo." Mother had a name but I'd never really met my father. I had seen glimpses and sightings of him. I never had talked to him though. I had never approached him or gotten to know him. Neither had he ever made the attempts to get to know me either. He'd never come to seek mother and I out. Why should I have bothered getting to know someone who had never made the effort himself? No, it made little sense in my mind. Perhaps some day. "I am Rolex." My eyes shift to the filly again and there's a smile on my lips. There is no possible way that we were not related. She's the spitting image perhaps with a few differences but so much was the same. "What is my sister's name?"
Why had I any reason not to consider her my sister? I was so sure unless this mare told me different. Even then though; I had no reason to believe her if she said no, that we were not related. I mean I only had to look at her. The features; the build. Every inch of her was so similar in stature of me. Yes, I was quite sure that we were related and I wanted to get to know my sister. Siblings should have strong bonds after all. Right? The risk of that not happening was this mother standing in our way. Would she let her child get the chance to know another related to her? One that could stand up for her? I could protect my sister. We could grow so close and be the best of friends if given that chance right? Replies: There have been no replies.
