Would the feeling of restlessness ever cease to annoy him, nothing seemed to ever change. Yet another night of sleeplessness ticked by deathly slow as the dappled awaited the dawning of a new day. Nothing seemed to be enough to rid him of this feeling and not one night remained in the last week where he was not awoken by it. Something needed to change but what was it that seemed to haunt him so desperately that it pained every waking moment. The shadows danced before him as the glow from his markings cast a faint bluish glow over the immediate area around him as his pacing carried him along between the trees. His mind was a mess of thoughts attempting to explain this sudden onset of never ending frustration.

Nothing bothered him as much as not knowing something and when it was created by his own mind it was infuriating at best. Since coming to Helovia he had tried to find something to quiet his mind but regardless of his effort he continued to feel as if he was missing something. Companionship perhaps? No it couldn't be that simple there had to be something more to it. His home was now within the Foothills alongside its residents yet still he could not seem to feel at peace. Sighing softly he returned to standing among the trees attempting to catch even a couple moments of shuteye before the sun rose upon the horizon to begin the new day. Instead of sleep his mind seemed to have other ideas and kept him wide awake despite his attempts. Closing his silver orbs to the darkness he amused himself listening to the sounds of the night all around him. Crickets chirped within the brush as that faint skitter of feet passed along the carpeted floor, likely only the raccoon's or some other nocturnal creature going about its business.

Fear was not something that came easily to the stallion thanks to the brutal regime his father made sure all their warriors went through. Many of them had been taken deep into the countryside blindfolded with only the aid of a guide beside you only to be left alone with the instructions to return to the herd. With those words said you would tear away the blindfold to reveal a foreign landscape as darkness set in with no idea what direction to turn. If you panicked and gave into your fear it was unlikely you would ever find your way home again safely, one had to learn to control their fear and think logically in order to find the right path. His first attempt left him lost for days out in the wilderness with little food or water as he attempted to avoid the many dangers out there. It wasn't until he learned to let go of his fear and listen to what the earth had to tell you before he finally returned.

Flicking his ears to the sound of approaching footsteps he remained still and quiet only his eyes trained on the spot where the individual would emerge from the treeline. It was not the sound of paws it was the sound of hooves, what was one doing up at this time of night? Curiosity grew as he calmly awaited the source of his answer. It would be easy to spot him within the brush now it was only the question of who would reveal themselves, if they didn't turn around and head away from him. He could rather use some conversation at the moment, it wasn't as if sleep would relieve his weariness anytime soon.
