 As was customary for this time of day, Teykali was flopped down under a tree for his nap. His head was still spinning from meeting his sister Kai. What was so wrong with him that he could not remember the names of those faces that littered his nightmares? His head seared with pain again.
Something had gone horribly wrong...he'd tried so hard for something, and found himself...what? What had he lost with his memories? Caring? Love? Had he been in love with someone, and broken her heart? He could not for the life of him understand how he could forget he had been in love, if he had been surely the mare would have looked for him. He sighed deeply in his sleep, visions of a vicious creature, baskets, foals, a dark faced mare....What the hell had he been before now?
Kai had given him a few words, Topper...wherever that mare was had spoken about not caring who he was in the past, and Shoshana said some days things were better left in the past than found in your mind, but the pain he felt not knowing some days simply tore his mind apart, feeling like a tortured soul, unable to remember who and what he had been...even if he could never be that again.

 Today, was the day. A year since she had last seen him. It had been the last time he had kissed her, the last time that she had looked into those blue eyes that knew her so well. The way his black hair had flown behind him in the wind as he turned away. It had been everything in her, to do as he had asked. Just let me go.It had been the only request he ever made over. He had insisted that it would be easier this way. And ever since, she questioned that. As he had disappeared over the hill as she stood with tears streaking her face, her hair whipping like a cyclone around her. Her heart so heavy, that she felt as though she would die right there. But, she could do this for him, because he had asked. She had to live with these memories, and the idea that at the end he was alone. Whether he had wanted it, she should not have allowed him to look on empty space or unknown faces as he took his last breathe and his eyes closed forever. Where did he rest? Who had buried him? Who left flowers on his grave? Who visited where he fell to mourn him? Wouldn't it be so much easier to forget?

Slowly he felt like moving again, but not too much. He chuckled to himself sarcastically to himself, wanting to figure out a way to get through the pain of not knowing exactly who he was.
His eyes opened slowly looking at some rather odd green grass, then closed again, figuring sleeping till Kai or Topper came back would be a better idea than getting up and wandering off for a snack. His breathing slowed as he lulled himself back to sleep, trying to avoid the nightmares that could haunt him.

Aella heard a sound, like someone calling for a loved one. She looked about, seeing a male laying not far away. For an hour she watched, wary of him. But he only stirred as if dreaming while she stood by. It was not a trap, he was alone...maybe he was injured or frightened?
Moving very slowly, her hair blew back with a gust of wind as she got closer. "Are you okay?" Her voice was gentle, trying to instill calm since she was unsure if he would wake up with violence or not.

One warm brown eye peered at the voice that called out to him, asking if he was alright, that was a loaded question, but he sighed and closed his eye again, the mare was one he didn't know, Topper nor Kai had come to find him yet, but this red maned mare seemed concerned, "I simply have a headache, and am avoiding a few rough dreams."
He smiled warmly from where he lay, "Been plagued with them for quite some time now, but I should live." He was joking somewhat, the scar behind his ear visible from where she stood, "What brings a lady such as yourself out to this neck of the woods?" Figuring it was a decent topic to set her mind at ease and avoid talking about him and his problems for once, he was going to ask questions and see about getting her to talk. She seemed from what little he'd taken in as though she had a heavy weight holding her down.

She smiled kindly at him, "I too am trying to escape my own nightmares. But it seems I can't. They keep pulling me back under. I wish...that I could forget. But all I can do is remember...and regret." She gave a long sigh, "I thought a walk might do well, if you can call it that."

Teykali smiled a bit, an understanding in his face that she likely didn't get often, "Nightmares are a terrible thing...but forgetting entirely doesn't help either, of that I can assure you." A sad look seemed to haunt his dark eyes as he thought on it, "But I'm sure it must be a terrible weight to remember those horrible things...someday though you may look back on the time when you had to...grieve and mourn as a learning experience, rather than a thing of torment."
That was how he felt, he couldn't even grieve or mourn if he'd lost someone, he didn't know about his past, and though he'd spoken and found his sister, he still didn't know her...no memories filtered in to fill in the gaps...stories she told him weren't familiar, and it vexed him constantly, but his dark look dissipated and he looked to her again, "Though I'm not much help in most cases, I can be a fairly good listener if you want to talk about it."

Aella listened to him intently, "You seem as though there's something you'd like to remember..." It was part question, part answer. "Remembering isn't easy. Some days, like today--it's hard to even breathe with the thought of it. It's like every happy thing in your life is drained and all you can remember is the one sad thing. You're in a dark and terrible place, there's no light. There's no warmth." Her breathe caught. "Are you sure you want to hear about that?"
