The breeze blowing in from the ocean held the icy bite of frostfall - chilly yet invigorating. The tawny paint stallion drew to a halt a few feet from the edge of the cliffs, large white wings hugging his sides in an effort to keep some of the chill from his body. Raising his nose into the wind, he closes his eyes and relishes the feel of the ghostly cold fingers twisting through his mane and tail. Despite the calm exuding from Miykael, his mind is a jumbled mess. He couldn't focus and it was making Eliana fidgety. After only a few moments the night dark zephyr unfurled her wings, taking off into the sky. She circled out to the ocean and back, pacing by flying circles around and above Miykael.
He wanted a family love between Alysanne and himself to be enough - longed for it - but that particular part of him is stubborn beyond belief. He had tried to let go, knowing that what he wanted was unattainable and likely foolish. Countless times had he reviewed each and every interaction they'd had, seeking to pinpoint the very moment he'd fallen for her. What he'd found disturbed even him. It really all seemed to stem from the night that they met. All he could figure was that it was love at first sight for him and that was simply foolish. That was something that just could not exist. Down to his very core, Miykael longs to let it all go - if only to salvage what remained of their once wonderful friendship.
Did he even have the strength?
Some days, he couldn't believe that he ever would.
A heavy sigh escapes his nostrils and he shifts his attention to Eliana - his blue eyes watching the sleek and sparkling zephyr as she soared, effortlessly graceful with each movement. Miykael's lips twitch upwards with the hint of a soft smile. Part of his soul soared, at least.
The sound of thundering hooves assaults his ears. Having little to no reason to be alarmed or put his guard up, Miykael remains outwardly calm with his prior concerns still occupying the back of his mind. Eliana is the first to see black and white mare because Miykael merely swiveled his ears backwards towards the noise. Frowning softly the night dark bird circles back down to land on her bonded's shoulder. With a soft coo from Eliana, laced with caution and concern, the stallion turns to see the familiar form of Alysanne approaching them.
A grin burst onto his features, brightening his eyes more than they had been in several seasons. Time away, it seemed, had refreshed the dunskin tobiano Pegasus. Aly spoke and he chuckled, pure and joyous. "Only death could keep me away forever." he jokes, a devilish glint sparking in his eyes. "I'm glad to see you're still here, Alysanne." He adds, more seriously this time. Later would be time for more serious discussions and explanations. Now? Now he wants simple, friendly conversation. Miykael wants what they used to have - to just erase the everything that had gone wrong. Including his ridiculous confession. "So," he grins, "what have I missed?"

but your evil was coming through |
