Helovia. Home. One and the same. I had left for reasons of my own, those reasons left me isolated which forced me to come to terms with my current powers and even learn to control them. Before they could control me. I left here, this place that held memories that are now long gone thanks to my decision, for fear I would hurt those I had come to care about, those who trusted and relied on me. I feared if i had succeeded in injuring any of them, I would lose myself, who I was, who I had hoped to be. If I had injured anyone, a part of me would have died. I couldn't afford that.
Stepping out of the forest to gaze across the lands, I felt my chest expand with each deep breath, but not only to draw air into my lungs, but to breathe in the familiar scents. Nothing, it seemed, had changed. However, I knew that was just the surface. What I didn't know was how much the residents of Helovia, might have changed during my absense.
I had fallen in love with Helovia for how desolate, empty and familiar the territory was to me. I'm not an overly sociable equine, and Helovia offered the solitude I sought out in the first place. I had come to appreciate the terrain, and even some of my fellow equines who called this place home. With another deep breath, I let it out in a quick huff and started picking my way through the trees. My curse, the electricity that crackled in the air around me, was a constant reminder to rein in my emotions and keep control at all times or else. Else I'd have to disappear again. No. I wouldn't let that happen. I was home again. I was here to stay.
My ears pivoted around, taking in the sounds around me, my pelt twitched, my muscles taunt, ready for anything, should there be anyone lurking in the shadows. Maybe I had become paranoid while away, but in my eyes, in my thoughts, it was better safe than sorry.
I pushed those thoughts from my mind and focused ahead. Let's see if there's still life out here.
"blah blah blah."
