If there was one thing that the colt had to pick that was better about their new home it would be the drastically decreased distance between the Falls and the Threshold. When they were living in the Edge travelling back and forth was a much greater trek and on those hot humid days of Tallsun it was a scorcher. Today the weather was much better, the snow was finally starting to melt away to reveal the green shoots poking from up beneath. He was curious as to what the Falls would look like when all the snow was gone. Maybe there would be new things to discover that had been concealed beneath the ice! That would be something that he had to keep an eye on for sure but another day for right now he had much better things to be doing. Casting an eye back to the mare he had found wandering around the forest he couldn't wait to get back home to show her around. He was determined to show her that it was a great place to be so that she would stay with them. 

"I really think that you will like it here." He said confidently falling back into step with Sky as they continued along their path. The trees were finally starting to thin out around them only to be replaced with the tell tale cliffs rising up from the earth signalling that they were close to home. " There are waterfalls and trees and all sorts of neat things to see plus everyone is very nice. Where did you live before?" He asked out of curiosity feeling the need to keep the conversation going. The colt had never known anything other than Helovia so it was always fascinating to hear about the other lands that were somewhere out there. Someday he might get to see them for himself but for now he was content just to listen to others speak about them and tell their stories. It was hard to imagine some of the lands that he had heard about as they were so much different from here but there was much that he had never seen before. Mother had spoken once or twice about having travelled places but she never really elaborated on them. Perhaps one day she would take him there just so that he could see it for himself.   

Eventually the narrow path they were following opened up to reveal one of the many flat meadows that was home. From where they were standing you could see one of the largest waterfalls cascading down the mountainside along with the trees and many other features that was the Falls. Turning to Sky he wondered what she would think of it, would she like it? "Well this is home. What do you think?"

Sky's trot floated along side Aeolus as her wide curious eyes eagerly drank in her surroundings, waiting for the next adventure to present itself. She was wound tightly with excitement and wondered if her hooves even touch the earth. Maybe she would suddenly float into the air, like her new winged friend could. Then she found herself looking over his magnificent wings, how did a birds appendages meld with that of her species? Would he fly away from her? That would frighten and sadden her greatly if he did. Then he fell back in line with her, and she bashfully looked away. She hoped he didn't catch her gawking.

Her nostrils flared and her feet slowly halted in the semi-frozen earth as the cliffs and waterfalls visage encompassed her senses.
It's beautiful... she whispered. For a moment longer her eyes lingered on the diving waterfalls that carved into the landscape. Then warm brown eyes shifted to Aeolus and she continued along side him.

"I lived in a kingdom. An empty one. Except for me and my guardians. She exhaled a soft breath, not realizing she had been holding her breath again. "There was water like this too." A small smile crossed her maw. For a moment she was as still and peaceful as a pond. Then when the path opened up into a vast flat meadow, hooves sliced into the dirt and Sky took off galloping, bucking, all while tossing her mane wildly about her neck. And off like a raging river she was!

She yelled over her shoulder I LOVE IT! She whinnied loudly in excitement as muscles flexed and pulled her agile strong young frame across the large meadow. She laughed and sunk in her hind feet, hocks skidding across the little sprouts as she spun around and reared up playfully. Sky was purely enjoying herself and with a friend! For the first time in a long time, she wasn't alone.

oh come forth
into the storm and rout
and be my love in the rain

It seemed that slowly new life was beginning to trickle into the Falls. They came quiet and eager, generally, and Kaj welcomed them with open wings and a hopeful heart. Trust was something hard to give at times, but if he did not then not only would the newcomer suffer, but so would his family. It was well known that the land of the Foothills and the Falls seemed to have a lingering curse upon it, and Kaj dreaded that they were sinking apathetically into its mire. Archibald would scold him for such thinking, call him weak willed, but Kaj didn't really care what Archibald thought. They were two different Czars for a reason, after all. Archibald the forceful stoicism, and Kaj the political kindness. It seemed like a shitty kind of world to Kaj, to be angry all the time, but he considered Archibald a brother and cared for him nonetheless.

He cared for all of them.

Sure they may consider him weak, but he'd yet to encounter a reason to prove them wrong. Aurelia had learned, as had the former Edge, what he was capable of. Even Confutatis had not managed to steal his crown from him. They could compare him to Archibald all they liked, Kaj would not falter. Brutality was not something he considered a necessity, and the more they underestimated him the better it would be for all.

He's cut from his musings by the appearance of an unknown, exuberant form. She's dancing and kicking about like a foal, yelling over her shoulder to...his eyes follow behind her, having gone still with surprise over her floundering, and finds Aeolus. A smile creases his face. A new recruit perhaps? Jogging slightly after the fae his voice calls out to her.

"I will take the compliment, though the work is of the Earth God." Hoping that would draw her to a stop he paused, turning over his shoulder in a bid to gesture Aeolus closer. "My name is Kaj, I am the Czar of these lands. What is your name?" A good place to begin if any.

It was nerve wracking waiting for Sky to finally respond to his questions, what if she didn't like this place? What would he do then? So far he had gotten lucky with all of those he had met having them all thoroughly enjoy being here but you never knew if someone might all of a sudden decide that they don't like what he had to show them. Most things in his eyes were worth seeing but then again he loved finding new places and exploring them to the fullest extent. New things were exciting but he knew first hand how some didn't see it in the same way. Mother didn't seem to like a lot of changes but she eventually got through it and moved on to see new things just like he did. When Spice was around they would get to go exploring and play around but if he managed to master the art of flying like a bird he could just imagine all the new places he could see.

Sky's response was more than thrilling to the young colt as he watched her take off kicking up her heels and playfully dancing around. The one thing that he did find a little odd was her description of where she had lived before this. Just her guardians and herself? That sounded weird..did that mean her momma and pappa or something entirely different? Maybe another time he would have to ask her about it but for now he was more than happy to just go with the flow and be happy with Sky. Laughing he returned the enthusiastic whinny tossing his head up with a half rear before spotting Kaj approaching them. His smile widened at the sight of their King and as Kaj beckoned to him he eagerly bounded forward with his tail arched high over his back to join them. Choosing to just use his legs rather than attempting to fly down or anything like that he knew he would likely embarrass himself like he always managed to do. Wickering his greeting as he bounced up to Kaj he attempted to touch his nose to his shoulder before coming back around to stand by Sky. " I told you it was awesome!" He commented playfully with a bob of his head. It was nice to find someone that liked to have some fun for a change instead of the generally boring adults.

Since Kaj had gotten to introduce himself already he turned his head back to look to Sky in anticipation. "Czar means King." He added in trying to be helpful. When he had first heard the word it had taken him awhile to finally figure out the meaning so on the off chance Sky hadn't heard it before she would know what it meant.
