Subject: (And so I return)

(.Eve slowly, but surely wrapped her bony and grisly fingers around the world, and pulled it into darkness. Yet her fogged breath did not pollute the sky tonight, so her watchful eye burned in the sky like a white hot conflagration. Shazaam slowly made his way from the salty liquid, and upon the beach with a snort. He shook violently to rid himself of the excess water that dribbled down his body to accumulate on his stomach. There, it would form a drop, and drip from his epidermis, and onto the sand. His vision mingled towards the herd, and with a jubilant squeal, he arched his neck and took off at a comfortable, but swift gallop towards his family and friends. When arriving upon the main area of Paradise Isle, his gaze lingered towards the group of horses surrounding his mother, and through the group, he spotted something small. Not only did he spot something small, but he also caught sight of his solace, and his offspring. Approaching at a much slower pace, he drew up on the side of his mate, plush capped mandible pressed into hers as brims lipped at her own muzzle in an affectionate manner.) "Good Evening M'love. It's only been four days, and yet it seems like an eternity that we have been apart"
(.Soft whuffs of carbon were exalted from dilated nasal ducts before he lowered capitulum to nibble gently on his younger son.)
"I missed you to Hex. It seems as if you've grown at least a little since our last time together"
(.Keeping his head lowered, he gently pushed through the small crowd, dipping his head and smiling towards the Fillies in greeting. Reaching his mother he looked down upon the colt with a warm smile. Emotions swelled inside of him, for he looked exactly like his father... their father. If one looked at it from Shazaam's point of view, they could quickly tell why Shaz took such a quick liking to him (despite the fact that the colt was his brother). Shazaam grew up without a father, and now this youth would as well. He shifted his weight slightly, muzzle pressing against his mother's shoulder in greeting before lowering it to the juvenile.)
"I'm gone four days, and I feel like I've missed so much. He's is beautiful Mom."

[The dull grulla mare seemed to glow under the moon's grisly puckered brow. The luminous rays seemed to ricochet from her body and just glow around her. She watched from afar, but quickly moved forward to join the group. Yet instead of pushing through the crowd to oooh and ahhh at her Uncle, who was younger then herself, she simply stood by her mother, nibbling gently on Hexed's ear while she looked on]

[> A stallion -- Phoenix Ashes, 23:40:22 07/21/03 Mon [1]

Surrounded by mares, fillies, and a single colt, the short attention of Phoenix is quickly stolen by the arrival of the wet bay. Detaching himself from his mother's side and his acquaintance's presence, he lets his tiny unshod hooves carry him a miniature stride or two towards the stallion. He stares curiously, nostrils dialated to memorize the scent, until the large plush muzzle is pushed gently in his direction. After a moment's uncertain hesitation, the roan colt reaches out in kind, touching velvet noses before pulling back from the tickling whiskers. "Phoenix," he announces proudly, determined not to make the same mistake twice. Assuming by the lack of correction from his dam, who appeared to be trying to steal the attention of the stallion from him, Phoenix grins in smug pleasure. Taking a few more steps, he inspects Shazaam's large round hooves, comparing them silently to his own minute daggers. A drop of water falls from the bay's chest onto the colt, causing him to jerk upwards in surprise. Finding his movement impeded by the large body which he had situated himself under, the roan scrambles backwards, returning in a single leap to the instinctive safety of his mother's side. Whuffing softly, he ignores those around him, training his acute gaze on his new discovery.

And now, as gradual as the fall
The dawn of hope
The brilliant sun sending all the shadows fleeing
Sweet daylight
A new stallion rising from the ashes
Leave it all behind and take to flight
