Aeolus had enjoyed every bit of the tropical island. He practically liked catching the native parrots on the island with his mother. Although he wasn’t allowed to eat any of the birds, his mother had insisted when she first had taught him how to catch the parrots. It seemed rather pointless if he couldn’t eat what he caught. Aeolus could eat the fish, but why not the parrots? His mother always told him the parrots were their friends, but he knew that was a lie. Certainly, everything could be eaten if he really wanted to.
While he liked every bit of the Ischia, Aeolus had always insisted on going to the larger island in the distance. His mother told him it would need to wait until he was a strong enough swimmer. But swimming came rather easy for the serpent, so today he insisted on crossing over the water with or without his mother. Of course, his mother kept a watchful eye on his every movement, and decided today would be that day.
His mother, Eva, having some experience of the big island, knew the best place to take Aeolus. The playground was a bit out of the way from their island home, but she ensured every moment along the way that Aeolus wouldn’t regret it.
Once they arrived at the playground, she kissed her son goodbye despite his protest to get away. Eva managed to get him this time as his orange-gold eyes could not keep off of the playground that was full of other foals.
Aeolus slipped away quickly from his mother, trying to avoid more goodbye kisses, and headed for the center of the broad meadow. He had seen a couple places like this along the way, but there was something better about the playground. The boy let out a pleasant whinny as he ran at a quick pace through the soft green meadow.
He suddenly came to a halt. The boy’s eyes dart here and there, truly unsure of where he should go. There are plenty of others his age. Some were playing games and chatting. Aeolus then saw a winged filly darting towards the nearby pond.
Curiously, his ears flicker forward, and the colt makes his way towards her. The winged girl stopped and was busy looking at something near the pond. Aeolus stopped near behind her quietly, peering slightly over the right side of her to get a better look at what she found.
Aeolus starts ribbiting like a frog as best as he could mimic one. “I’d love to be your friend!” He croaks and then bursts out with laughter.
