Ducking his head to avoid the taller branches the young stallion wandered aimlessly trying to find something to do. Things had been relatively quiet over the last couple months and with his mother's promotion to Czarina the colt found himself lonely and without anyone to talk to. Spice had been his friend but then she had disappeared so in reality all his friends had gone away and left him just like his father had. The thought was depressing so he tried not to think too much about it but when there is literally nothing to do he found it creeping back into his mind once more. Pausing a top one of the waterfalls the colt raised his head high and just allowed the feeling of the cool mist to surround him and cool his skin. The heat of Tallsun had been starting to get to him leaving a sheen of moisture across his brindled pelt. Lifting his wings to allow the water to get underneath them he sighed contentedly enjoying the cold water against his hot skin.

Half the day seemed to pass by before anyone caught the boy's attention from his high vantage point. Keeping himself somewhat hidden he watched as the filly and her companion walked along together and he couldn't help but wish that he to had a companion. Mother had told him about it and tried to explain what it was like but he wanted to feel it for himself instead of just watching everyone else with them. So far the gods had not seemed to trust him with something so special as a friend, they even made his brother disappear on him. Needless to say he wasn't so trusting in these gods that everyone seemed to worship and hold in such high praise.

Turning his attention back to the girl he found that she had disappeared somewhere along the bottom of the hillside. Taking a few steps forward curiously the rocks beneath his feet gave way sending him into the water and down over the side of the waterfall. Landing with a big splash the stallion's feet frantically paddled trying to pull himself to the surface against the water's current. When his head finally broke the surface relief flooded through him as he gasped for air pulling in long deep breaths to satisfy his burning lungs. Great this was not exactly what he had been planning to do now all he could hope for was that the filly hadn't seen him take that plunge.
