Clayton

Every Story Has Two Sides

His life was flipped upside down, his heart ripped from his chest and crushed before him. The stag had returned to beqanna, but his first visit forced him into hiding. The stag was filled with rage and sadness, he couldn't decide which one was more relevant.

There were friends he wanted to visit, but he knew his mood was not right and he would probably end up burning any relationship more than building. He couldn't be happy for everyone else when he was in so much pain.

The bay and green stag always had a gentle heart, he always looked for a lover, one that could be all his...but it seemed that fate had not had it in store for him, and quite frankly the stag has been discouraged that love is even a true thing. Perhaps that is why father never stayed around, or even mother.

He traveled in the shadows of the Cove, but he hears his name and the familiar voice sends his head swirling. Kensa, the sabino mare comes to his mind and for some reason all of his anger had melted away. He wanted to visit her, but he wasn't sure what would come from it, a release of his pent up anger?

She stands just out from the trees and he slowly removes himself from hiding. Kensa, he says her name again but this time loud enough for her to here him. She greets him and for the first time it was an equine happy to see him, for the first time a smile grows on his maw.

The two had known each other since they were children and some how they had always found each other in desperate times of need. it's time to come home, she says and the words seep into his mind...he had always been busy promised a crown for a land he loved...but now he had nothing, why shouldn't he move to Hyaline with her?

The bay stag moves to press his body against hers, the comfort exactly what he was seeking. She always had a way of pulling him from his delusional thoughts. Did it hurt you too? He knows that her and Lie had a relationship of sorts, did it hurt her just as much to see him standing beside Dawn?

His eyes seek hers, in the moment he wishes he had tried harder to win her over. Why did he let her go so easily? But it was too late to kick himself, and now wasn't the time to discuss the past. His eyes scan the horizon and the departing words of Dawn seep into his mind. A queen who threatend his position in a kingdom he was raised in, one he should he ruling. It was almost comical, the Cove members falling under Pangea and if that was the case moving to Hyaline was all that easier.
