After the meet with the God of the Earth, the young painted colt had
returned to the beach where he had found Phi and everyone else.
Secretly he had hoped to see her again, but when he had not Aaron
settled in to a long walk along the beach. He needed to clear his
mind, to really think about it all. He was a yearling now, one more
year and he to could start a family like his mother had begun to
do.... Then again did he really want to put his heart out there? His
brown eyes had watched his mother struggle in the absence of his
father.... and just when his father had returned the shades seemed to
of taken him away as well.

His mind whirled with thoughts, the want to have a family..... the
want to... well tell Phi that he cared about her as more than just a
best friend should. The thought scared the young colt, but at the same
time hadn't that been how his parents had become a pair? Even now with
him living in the herd lead by Phi's grandmother, or so he had been
told, he just didn't know what to do.

After walking for a while, the brown and white colt flopped down to
the sand just close enough that the waters lapped at his right side.
He sighed heavily and closed his eyes, deciding to rest here where it
was peaceful. Where he could think........

Something funny is going on. You can feel the water begin to push more
intently at your side. The blue ocean sends increasingly large waves
toward you, though your eyes might not be watching. The signs start
out gently, gradually building up. Then, you feel no more pull of the
water, and the sand on which you lay begins to feel unusually dry. A
rolling sound can be heard from behind you.

It would be best not to turn your head, though, as a giant wave is
making its way toward you, easily your standing height.

The water crashes over where your body had been laying, bringing with
it a flurry of undersea life from seaweed to a disgruntled octopus
that begins tugging its way back toward the water, making lots of
irritated scoffs along the way. Well, that was unusual.

I had been wandering when I saw the little foal laying on the ground.
He was a cute little sort, not handsome, but cute. He was so cute, in
fact, that I thought I should go see why he was out wandering around
without his mother when he was still so young. Making up my mind I
pick up my mother's floating gait, set it to trot, and make my way
towards him just as a large wave crashes over the sands and rolls over
his body. I squeal as the water creeps up my pretty, clean coat before
receding back.

I remember the little colt and fling my gaze back in his direction,
gallop the last few steps between us, and slow to a walk just in time
to keep from spraying him with sand, be he standing or still laying
down. Alarmed I let out a worried whinny and say in my naturally
smooth voice, "By the gods, are you ok!?" I glance at him worriedly in
the sunlight, the top of my hide a rosy gold mirror while the wet
parts of my hide drip salt water...

Lost in his thoughts, the dual colored colt did not notice the water
hitting his side steadily harder. He scrambled to his feet and not a
moment to soon. The sound of the water moving fast towards him, faster
than normal. Just as he sprang forward the water crashed down over
him. It knocked him about and he struggled to stay standing. He
snorted as the wave completely crashed over him, stumbling forward.

It wasn't until he regained his footing that he noticed the filly....
Well no she wasn't really a filly anymore. As he shook off she came
running towards him, asking if he was ok... It took him a minute to
find his voice "Yea, i'm fine." Little embarressed but he was ok. He
tilted his head "I'm Aaron, son of Solstice... You are?"

I sigh with relief as the colt replies to my question with mild
embarrassment and introduces himself as Aaron. What an unusual name, I
think, for a horse to have. But at the mention of Solstice I perk up,
for my mother told me of meeting her long lost friend's filly, now a
mare, by that name. If I remember right Mother and Smoke had made her
a warrior. I offer him a bright smile and reply, "Oh, I'm Enheduanna,
but you can call me Enna, daughter of Gossamer the Benevolent and Indy
the Righteous."

I look about and, still seeing no mother about, I inquire as to his
wandering."What brings you to the ocean here alone?" It wasn't that I
disapproved per say what with all my nighttime wanderings as a filly.
But I usually snuck out to meet disapproving herd foals back when we
were traveling or to flirt with others, hardly ever had I left to just
be alone. I wonder what has happened to him to make him wish to be
lonely.
