if there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes
Her warm voice is full of excitement, proclaiming her readiness even before she nips at his cheek and then bolts towards Hyaline. Amet laughs, his head thrown skyward with an ecstatic whinny as his hooves dig into the sand. He throws his lithe body in a circle, sand spraying as he finally finds purchase and takes off after the sprinting girl. He throws his hind legs into the air in a playful buck as he catches up with her, blunt teeth nipping at Solace's neck as laughter resounds all around them.
The trek is a long one and eventually their pace slows, but Amet's cheeriness does not. Solace has always been great company, from her youthful innocence at birth to the newly-adventurous girl she is now. Amet only hopes to see how she blossoms into adulthood and into herself - he suspects that she will find her path to greatness, despite her self-proclaimed hatred for change.
When finally, hours later, they find the border to Hyaline, Amet's heart is thumping vigorously. "I hope you enjoy it here," he admits softly to the young girl as he thinks on his first meeting with Tangerine, here in this very territory. They move from the peaks and into the inner sanctum, meandering beneath tree boughs and the flowers that call them home. His amber eyes rove the contours of his home lovingly - he has never grown sick of the scenery, despite the years he has now spent within its borders.
When the crystalline lake finally comes into view, the gilded stallion comes to heel and gazes across its calm surface for a moment before turning to look at Solace. The pride he feels in his home is evident as he smiles excitedly at her. He motions to the newly-restored wisteria tree at the eastern edge of the lake, his wisteria tree, and his heart swells.
"I met your mom there, by that tree. It's my favorite place to spend time in all of Hyaline."
