no living man could find the key
And from that day a very beast was he

Snow blanketed the meadow, harshly reflecting soft winter light. He hated waking up. Maybe he merely hated the daytime in general. The light always seemed a little too bright for his eyes, and the sun too hot on his golden flanks (perhaps the latter being a lingering trait from his days in the Basin).

With a heavy sigh, the boy began to rise reluctantly from his resting place, the gnawing of his stomach being the only incentive that made him do so. It felt as though the earth itself had glued it's soil to his skin. He tenderly lifted his hooves, and for a moment, he actually believed the ground might come with them and the grasses would leech into his feet then wound up the length of his legs till he was swallowed whole.

This didn't happen, of course, but the boy felt the sensation nonetheless. It chilled his spine more than the snow did. Once the yearling felt sure that the ground hadn't stuck to his hooves, he left his spot eagerly, swishing his dark, silvery tail against his hocks, azure gaze alert as he sought an adequate spot to graze. Oh, but his gaze wasn't alert enough to pick out the alabaster unicorn whom he shared the meadow with. It wasn't until another small, leggy specimen came barreling past that Rein took a moment to more carefully survey the land for other fauna.

The golden boy's ears swiveled backwards, awkwardly watching the antlered colt laugh and play in the snow. His eyes flicked between the child and the bedraggled mare, finding himself in a strange psyche. He wasn't joke with the mare about how silly kids could be, but he wasn't young enough to join the kid. It wasn't surprising that he didn't really fit in, he never had, but it caused him to feel conflicted anyway.

His eyes slid from the horses to his hooves, dismayed to find a trail of blood streaking down his left foreleg. His gash had opened up again.

tl;dr rein mopes at the edge of the field lmao
