The sun should be peeking over the horizon, chasing away the inky darkness that was the night. But instead the dark clouds blotted it out, keeping it hidden away as Neko’s hooves continued to carry him across the cold muddy ground. The mud had splashed up during his wandering, covering his champagne legs with a layer of wet earth, hiding away his true coloring. Yet it only went so high, reaching just to his chest and belly before it slide away to show his nearly unmarked hide. In the cold it had become frozen, clinging to his lengthening winter hair and attempting to pull away his body heat as snow dappled his back. It had only just started falling, not yet covering the ground and as it melted upon his back, seeping through to his warm skin, the champagne stallion gave a shiver.

Giving pause, the stallion stopped to raise his head and cast his dark brown eyes around the deadening place. It was strange, much different than home, but wasn’t that why he had left; to seek out change? With a shake of his head, Neko continued on his way, not quite sure of much he had done in his life that had led him to this point. It had all been so confusing, his youth. Some would still argue that he was plenty young enough to make up for them, reaching his prime, yet Neko did not feel that way. The muscles that outlined his solid built mustang frame spoke of his strength, but his mind was weary. Such travel could do that to one who no longer wished for change.

Licking his dry lips, Neko wondered when he would find water. It seemed plenty was mixed in with the dirt below his hooves, but none desirable to quench his thirst. How long it had been since his last drink, the stallion was not sure. Maybe a day, or was it longer? It was always hard to judge time while being alone. It seemed to drag by, days feeling like weeks and weeks feeling like months. Yet for a stallion who had once had a family and loving mares solitude was an unwelcome feeling and he could not help but wish for company soon.

Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.
