Silver eyes watched as his mother took to the cool autumn sky and he couldn't wait to be able to fly as well. 'Good she needs to get away for a while and have some fun.' The growing colt sighed softly as his cremello painted mother flew out of sight. It had been just as hard, if not harder, on himself growing up without his father around. When Parelia or Penna was around the poor hybrid colt had to act and look happy, but inside his soul was darkening. Ilios tried his best to be happy, but he hadn't be able to spend much time with anyone his own age, or anyone besides his mom really. 'It's time I go out and find friends of my own. I need to get away too.'

Taking a deep breath he turned south away from his herd, there was no doubt in his mind that he would be back here. This place might not have been where he was born, but the World's Edge was his only home. Shaking the thought away he focused on his own body and how it moved. His legs were lengthening, his hips thickening, his wings growing. They were almost large enough for the young colt to fly, maybe within a month or so. Smiling at the thought he moved into a smooth trot keeping his gold and teal ivy marked head low. If humans were to watch him moving they might think he was being trained for dressage, with his smooth even movements.

After a while he slowed to a walk ears pricked and silver eyes bright with excitement. Trees slowly thinned before disappearing completely; opening out into a large meadow. He stopped dead at the edge of the trees gazing around in awe. The place was covered in pretty purple flowers, but something about them seemed, off. Squinting at the closest one he noticed the spines covering them. 'Tricky little devils aren't you?' He thought with a light chuckle. Prancing happily the colt laughed as he plunged into the open. Kicking up his black hooves he smiled letting all the tension he carried around to melt away. It was good to just run and play for once, even if he was alone.

After a few more bucks and a good rear the colt stopped panting softly his joyful smile slipped from his handsome face. Pain slowly slid into his heart like a bullet fragment wiggling it's way deeper into the muscle. How could anyone have fun if they were always alone? Ilios's golden and teal body slumped listlessly to the ground, as if the pain was pressing him down. Tears swam sluggishly around silver eyes as the horned and winged boy fought to hold his soul together.
