He is often out in the evening, and though he rarely leaves the island now, occasionally he still longs to travel. His children are old enough that he does not worry if he leaves them with Vita as they slumber. Besides, Erne did a wonderful job of keeping an eye on them as well, making sure the children did not wander too far into the surf without nearby aid. Aedan did not suffocate his children though, letting them roam and wander and learn. So long as they were safe, he did not mind them exploring. After all, hadn’t he done exactly that when he was their age?
He makes his way to the forest today, the sky darkening as he travels, though he does not mind the dark. As the stars begin to creep out, he calls to them, letting the soft glow surround him as he so often does. He can see in the dark and so the light is simply because he enjoys it, enjoys the softness of their aura and the familiar feel of them.
Aedan has seen plenty of strange things in his life, though he is not expecting to hear someone shout It is the best thing in the forest in the dark evening. The sound comes to him from far away, sounding like a child. Not that Aedan hadn’t been in the forest at night as a child, but Aedan has a few advantages in the evening. He begins to follow the sound, at least wanting to check and make sure everything is okay.
He’s some distance away though, and it takes him a little while to find who he assumes must be the source of the noise. No one else seems to be around, and it has grown particularly dark in the forest. Aedan’s sight has always been fine at night, so perhaps the boy’s is too, but still. Aedan cannot help but worry. He steps forward again, a branch cracking under his hoof and the boy he sees starts to scream.
Oops.
”It’s okay,” Aedan says, trying to be heard over the scream. He pulls more of the stars to him, lighting the area around them as best he can with their glow. It is not perfect, but it should be enough to show the boy that it is only another horse that’s come to find him, nothing more. ”My name is Aedan,” he adds, hoping the boy will calm down.
