if there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes
Amet moves towards the border of his home, hooves digging into the hard soil deftly as he ascends the small mountain ridge. The sun beats on his leather-plated back, scales glistening in response to the golden rays as he roams the outskirts of his sanctum. The Akhal-Teke's amber eyes linger on the vibrant leaves of red maple and flamboyant, but his thoughts are on the black and white sabino mare who'd sprinted headlong into his life just days earlier. He's been lovesick with the thought of her ever since, unable to rid his thoughts of the mind reader or her crimson eyes. It feels different this time, though ─ this burning desire. The intensity of it is new, but the gilded stallion had taken it by the horns from the moment it had grasped him with heated fingers.
He desires her like no other, but he does not feel distracted or overwhelmed by it. Only empowered by it.
And how fitting is it, really, that his mind is full with thoughts of Eione when the familiar scent of her father greets Amet's flared nostrils just as he reaches the cusp of Hyaline. He throws his golden head to the sky and calls loudly for Offspring, and though his heartbeat has escalated at the thought of meeting with the former Overseer of Tephra (at the thought of explaining how he feels for Eione), Amet is no longer the young boy that he had once been. And he will meet this head on.
Offspring comes into view soon after and a genuine, joyful smile finds the young stallion's gilded face. "Offspring!" he says happily as he lowers his head in greeting to the crimson-eyed stallion, "What brings you out to Hyaline today? I hope all is well."
