The large stallion gave a small grunt of disapproval as he padded through the forest feeling a little tired of traveling. There wasn’t much to do around here at the moment, but Gabriel always seemed to find something that he could cope with. Whether it be traveling, finding danger or wandering with someone else. He always managed to find something to amuse himself. Though this time, he was having the hardest time trying to find something worth doing. With his head high, he walked through the trees until he came into a clearing. It was open enough to where he could see the bright sky above him. He didn’t like that, but he just let it be what it was.
A family falling through the cracks..
His mind was fizzing with thoughts of the family breaking. He didn’t care too much since it seemed like he was going to revolt anyway, but there were certain members that he wanted to keep in touch with. The others could go to hell for all he cared. He couldn’t rely on everyone and then worry about them as well.
Though to be honest, he was tired of wandering alone. He use to travel everywhere with his father. His father taught him everything he needed to know and everything he wanted to know. He felt like when his father died that he lost part of himself because his mother never saw anything the same way he did. His mother just wanted him to be careful and stop being so careless. He felt it was because of his father’s death in battle, but it was something that the stallions in the family endured. It was expected of him and there wasn’t anything that could be done about it now. He had been thinking about training his children in the same way as well, but he wasn’t completely sure of it yet. He didn’t know what might come of them depending on what they would look like.
As he walked further into the clearing, the sun beamed down on his spotted hide causing him to flick his tail behind himself. He could feel the heat of the sun and that irritated him. He didn’t like it being so bright out and most of the time he would travel at night, but not today.
Hearing the brush beside him move, he glared over and watched a bunny run out from behind it. He didn’t mean to scare others, but there was nothing he could do about the aura that seemed to follow him everywhere he went. He was who he was, but today was different. Today there was something missing. Today he felt like there was a different posture about himself. He knew what it was and this was him trying something new for once.
With a flick of his long mane, his light blue eyes looked forward, but this time they weren’t looking through the holes in his mask.
For once he wasn’t covering his face up.
He was showing himself for once.

A bright clear sky was filled with birds singing songs to one another. Among the forest floor little animals chattered to amongst each other. The sun peeked through the openings where branches and leaves did not shade the forest floor. This would be the best time for a day walker to prance around without a worry in the world, but for a night crawler, it was the worst time to slither out into the opening.
A young kalona colt, who could not sleep, had decided to travel through this living nightmare. His white ears flicked forwards and back as he tried to compensate for the lack of sight he had at the moment. Pitch black eyes squinted, causing the colt to look more ominous than usual. He peered out from amongst the heavy grouping of trees towards the clearing right outside the forest. His spaded tail twitched and curled as he began to walk in the direction of the clearing, not sure of what it looked like when the moon wasn't casting eerie shadows upon it.
Ahriman growled softly to himself as he looked around the forest. He shied away from the harsh light and heat the sun gave off for a moment before he slithered to the edge of the forest. Curse his inability to fall asleep at this hour! His mind buzzed with thoughts and questions about his family. Questions his mother refused to answer.
His mother... an absolutely insane unikalona mare. She seemed to easily jump between two personalities that clouded her mind. One second she wanted to cuddle with her son, the next she wanted to rip him to shreds. He knew most soquili would hate her, but he was very fond and attached to her. She gave him life, after all.
The colt didn't understand what was wrong with his mother. He didn't understand much about his family, actually. It all seemed like a huge mystery he wanted to one day solve. Shaking his head, he peered out then heard the softest sound of leaves brushing against each other. A small bush was wiggling in the distance. When a white rabbit jumped out, Ahriman's attention was quickly grasped. A midday snack? Maybe that was all he needed in order to fall asleep again. With a vicious smirk, the colt took off after the rabbit. He hadn't practiced hunting with his mother quite yet. Quickly, he raced, his leathery wings folded close to his sides as he aimed his sharp little teeth in the rabbits direction.
As it raced off, Ahriman followed right after. Straight to through the edge of the forest, weaving through trees and bushes alike. The kalona colt refused to give up. His hooves slammed against the ground and his heart pounded in his chest. Suddenly, the rabbit swerved in one direction and Ahriman tried to slow down to chase after it. His hooves slid across the dirt and he ended up slamming into a warm, fuzzy, and hard thing. It felt like his mother, only much bigger. "OOF!"

The large stallion looked down at the thing that bumped into his leg. Yes it was a thing alright. At first he thought maybe it was a rock he didn't see or a branch or something. He lowered his head some more to get a better look at the runt looking object that would so carelessly pile drive him in the leg. He knew what it was and at first he wanted to simply walk away from it. He didn't though and he honestly did not understand why. He didn't like kids and found them to be very annoying until they grew up, but then again there was always a risk that they would get annoying even then too. He simply lashed his tail and moved a little to the side as he looked down at the annoying little white rat.
"Can't you look to make sure your not going to run into something? What if I decide to attack you or make you pay for what you just did? It didn't exactly feel good you know.."
He snorted and honestly it didn't even hurt him, but he just was being mean to the child. He wanted nothing to do with it, but he had to wonder why a child that young was out here on his own. The parent was probably terrible if they weren't here with this little flea.
"Don't you have parents that should be watching you, young one? I'm not your father so don't try leeching on me."
He glared down at the colt before stepping away from him fully and giving a small snort. Even though this child wasn't his it wouldn't be too terrible if he kidnapped him. The colt was obviously part kalona or full kalona. He didn't know which, but being part was a good start. He circled him slowly before stopping back at the front again giving him an examination of sorts. He didn't know what he would do with him if this kid didn't have parents or a family. He wasn't nearly ready enough to take the step of having children nor would he even think to take that kind of leap.
"Do you have a name?"
He asked lashing his tail behind himself.

Pitch black eyes peered up at the blue, black and white being in front of him. He made special note of the pure white horn placed in the middle of the stallion's head, it was very much like the one his mother sported, something he hadn't inherited from her. This male, he was a unicorn... Ahriman only knew the small amount of information his mother told him about unicorns. They could heal and were a gentler species, for the most part. Soon, the colt's eyes found the scales that protected the cannon bones of his legs. He wasn't pure unicorn... Slowly, his black eyes found the lantern and bones that adorned his neck. He couldn't help but wonder what the purpose of these things were.
Suddenly, his attention was captured by the stallion's harsh voice. Was this stallion threatening him? A smirk appeared on the colt's tiny muzzle as he shrugged, his leathery wings moving up with his shoulders. If his mother were just a little closer, this stallion would pay for even threatening the kalona colt.
"I was focused on my prey. If you decided to attack me? I'm sure you wouldn't want to attack a colt. It would only make you look pathetic. I'm sure my mother is around here somewhere. She usually isn't too far from this area. I wouldn't want to leech onto you, anyways. I suggest you not try to leech onto me, my mother isn't too fond of visitors."
A low growl escaped the colt's throat as he answered and watched the stallion take a step in the opposite direction and snort. A father? Ahriman had never thought of having a father figure around. He was so used to it just being him and his insane mother. As the stallion circled him, Ahriman stood still, but kept a watchful eye on the larger male. Ahriman had already done his observation of the stallion, finding that his weak spot might be that little lantern draped around his neck. His questions would come later, however, once this stallion seemed less threatening.
At the stallion's final question, Ahriman paused for a moment. Did he trust this stallion with his name? As he debated, the colt let his teeth spread then let his jaw quickly snap shut, making a nice 'click' sound with his sharp needle like teeth. Finally, he decided.
"Ahriman..."
