"Making my way downtown, walking fast; Faces pass and I'm home-bound. Staring blankly ahead just making my way, making my way through the crooowd. And I need you. And I miss you. And now I won-der." She smiled gently as she walked, her voice coming out as one of the purest sounds in the world. The Angeni found herself alone, for once in her life. Usually she was wandering around with her adoptive parents. And even though she knew they were expecting to have children soon, her heart was calling for her to leave; to go out and make a difference, change people and help them to follow the dreams that they so longed to have. She was an inspired mare, and she easily showed everyone around her that they, too, could be someone of great wander. She hummed part of the song for a moment, before staring it again, her eyes closing.
Letting her wings flutter at her back, she folded them calmly in a more comfortable position, before opening her eyes once more. Her ears perked up for a moment, and she smiled ahead of her. Israfel couldn't help it. Being out here in the open made her heart flutter. And though there was a small throb in the back where she missed her family, she still longed to do this. She scratched at the ground with the edge of her hoof, before shaking her head, and started forward again, heart pounding hard in her chest. She could do this. She could go out, and make others feel the hope that she knew they needed.
Even if it meant that she was to be alone for a while; and she didn't mean the alone of just a day or so in between finding others. She meant the alone of not having a constant companion there to talk to, and share her thoughts with.
Shaking the thought from her mind, Israfel lifted her head toward the sky as she paused. She let a soft sigh fall from her lips, before ducking her head down to breath in the smell of a few of the plants growing in the field she wandered. Her eyes lifted, and for a split second she thought she saw something. But when nothing seemed to be around her, she let it slide away from her thoughts, and continued on the path she was given, her head held high. She would find someone to help; and who knew. Maybe they would help her in some way too. Smiling at the thought, Israfel continued toward the end of the song, eyes half open as she wandered forward.
"If I could fall, into the skyyyy. Do you think time, would pass me by? Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just. See. You. If I could just hooold you. Toniiiiiiight."
