Subject: *The stallion walks along the soft sand of the beach. He looks around. Everyone was happy and content at the moment.>

Steel had come back, everyone was happy. Phoenix and Hexed were born, everyone was congratulating. Everyone seemed content. Everyone except him. He cranes his neck, looking at the liquid gold shimmering baby blue ocean from the ever brillant hues of the setting sun, settling among scattered puffs of white. He then turns back to the beach, the soft, silken beige sand engulfing his hooves as he went. Everyone was happy? Why was he not? He thinks, but he already knows. He didn't have a family. He was virtually alone. Sure, he had Basandara and French Silk, but they were always gone, two to three weeks at a time. They were total strangers to him. He did have Shazaam, DOL, and Princess of Light, but DOL was the only one he knew. He had never met Shazaam or Princess of Light. And he had never really talked to DOL. Only about doing stuff or asking for a position. He sighs again, as he thought about this. The only person he knew somewhat was War Angel. He then lowers his head. He had only knew her for a week or two before she started to be gone for long periods of time also. 'Maybe it's my fault.' He thinks to himself. 'Every time I try to have a normal life, I can't.' A small crystal tear rolls down his muscular buckskin cheek. How bad it felt to be alone. You're sister and mom, you're only family, gone all the time...the only friend you've ever known gone for weeks at a time...He then goes up a small sand dune and when at the top, sits down and watches the magnificent sunset. 'If only I had someone to share it with.' He thinks silently, gazing on ward to the iridescent water. His mind wanders to Hexed and Phoenix. He loved foals soooo much. He always wanted to be a father. He could always adopt a foal withouot a home, but thinks a mothers love could never be replaced. Oh, how he wanted to have a family, but he hardly met mares in this tt, netherless from a different tt! Maybe he was meant to be a loner...just as he had grown up to be. He finally found his family and they leave shortly after he gets here...he makes a single friend and she leaves shortly after also. Not only that, but it looked hopeless to ever try to have a family. He onlooks as the sun seems to inch slowly to it's resting place, now casting a golden glow onto the already pale palomino coat of the buckskin. He doesn't know what he's worrying about. Other people have real problems. But then again, what is worse, a loved one getting snuck, or not having a loved one at all?

Duo equines enter Paradise Isle at a smooth gait, hooves quietly pattering against the earth's crust. Once protected by the shade of the tree, the palomino mare halts. A red roan filly follows behind her, green eyes intently skimming for her older brother. "Why, Basandara? Why are you making that decision? I see no positive effects from it." The mother's expression softened, hoping 'Sandy' would give a brief explanation to back up her selection. No such luck. Before you know it... The youngster cut the words, resisting to say furthermore. The mare releases a sigh from her nostrils, knowing their mother-daughter bond was punctured. And by the looks of it, the wound couldn't be patched. A waste of effort, it would be, to make an attempt to conceal the problem.

(I didn't randomly disappear, Angel dear. I was excused for the time being, and promised my return. Well, here I am. *cheesy smile*)

but who knows for how long. He listens, still looking to the slowly setting golden orb. His eyesbrows furrow in thought. He didn't have the slightest inkling of what they were talking about. He just keeps looking out to the deep blue.*
(occ-Thanks for taking the dare! It took me about an hour to write it, looking up on Merridan Webster On line and Google as spell check! :) Also in there I never said you "randomly dissapear" I said you're got quite a bit.)
