Beneath the early morning rays the great expanse of water appeared to be sparkling almost as if it were magic. While the colt new better than to believe the water was magically shining he still wondered what it was that drew mother out her so often. On the rare occasion he had been able to come with her and play in the water with his brother but ever since Levex vanished their visits had pretty much ceased all together. Some nights when he was pretending to sleep he had heard his mother sneak away for a couple hours before she would return carrying with her the scent of the ocean. Following her one night he had watched from a distance just to see what it was that was so damn interesting out here that he could not tag along like old times. From where he was hiding he watched as his mother approached the cliff's edge only to allow her head to droop down and she would just stand there like this for what seemed like forever. Sometimes he would see her look up to the sky but other than that she just stood there. Why didn't she do something like play in the water? Standing was just so boring, how did that make any sense?

Reaching his nose down to the sand he tried to figure out if there was anything else that he was missing but came up blank. Turning on his haunches to bound up the beach with a playful kick of his heels he moved father up the cliff side until he got to where mother had stood. Well so far he had a whole lotta nothing but what was over the edge? Inching up carefully he stood staring down at more water and some rocks, again boring. Snorting with frustration he flicked his tail against his sides and just stood there still completely lost for answers. This place was cool to look at and explore but to just stand here? Not exactly what he would want to do if he came here that's for sure. Taking a couple steps back from the edge as a strong breeze blew across the water he longed to just open his wings and fly out over the sea. Only problem was the fact that he still could not fly all that well but Kaj was teaching him at least. Maybe at their next practice he could learn to fly! He liked that idea but knew Kaj was likely going to want to take things slowly. Why did adults want to do things in slow motion? By the time you managed to learn whatever it was you needed you would be ancient! Fast motion was the way he wanted to do things if that was even a real word. 

Finally giving in to temptation the brindled boy spread his wings out to his sides and closed his eyes. The gusts of wind blowing through his feathers felt amazing but by just standing here it wasn't enough to satisfy him. He wanted to be up there like the birds instead of confined to walking everywhere. Gah! Why couldn't he fly like everyone else did. All the others who had wings had already learned to fly by now and he was left behind, it just wasn't fair.
