The rain laughed as it came down.

It made the night black enough for a hole to be punched through. Humidity, rain, and fog all wrapped up tight together on this warm Orangemoon night. It was a time for redemption, it was a time for every soul to bathe away the dried blood from the sun's scorching arms and his explosive heart. It was time for everyone's worlds to change and grow up finally. Like Aylin and Cyrus. A year had passed so quickly, too quickly, and all Validino could think about was how he would make their worlds change. How would he give them something to be proud of, to think back on their lives and say, "He was always the mightiest hero..." Validino knew himself, that he'd never be what he was once capable of, but thinking back on those thoughts drove them away from the dripping security of the trees. His pace is light, like the layered rain. He feels only a couple drops at a time, but out in the silver night he sees a wall of glorious rain.

The stallion knew that he'd be back by early morning to bring kisses to his children. He knew what sort of growing up these kids were getting into and he knew that in a couple weeks the urge to be off and alone exploring was high in their hormones. He'd reasoned with himself about this, but found only one thing ticking in his mind and it was his old self. He shook his thick neck because he knew that Aylin and Cyrus would never be like him. He knew that his innocent sun child would not become a vicious warlord. He knew that his beautiful daughter would never become a victim of circumstance, she could easily hold herself, even now. He knew Evangeline must have thought this way too. Dino couldn't help but assume.

Through all of this heavy moisture, Validino found something else hiding in the enveloping mists and absent moonlight, he found self-commitment dribbling over his skin, tracing like warm fingertips. The rain slid down his face and dripped from his whiskers. Entirely drenched in the rain was he drenched in himself. The stallion knew that the day had finally come to answer his questions.
