"Motherrr". The voice that left his lips was detached, faint, forgotten. The voice that wisped from him like smoke wasn't that of his, not now, but of him as a child. Helpless and left by the mother that decided to leave her foal. The mother that abandoned him. Left him to die. Yet this voice, it called out Mother, so delicatly. So sweetly, you'd think he was still small. You'd think, had you not seen the almost seventeen hand brute, that he was a child, helpless and lost, searching for someone he always wanted to know.
But he wasn't. He clearly wasn't.
He stood, resolute. Jaw clenched, eyeless eye sockets
twitching at the salt wafted into his nares. The crisp smell of water, drenched in the bright smell of salt. Muscles flinched
every now and then, restless and ready to move again. Yet
he just stood. The calling of his mother still lingered. Like a
foul odor, it stayed long after he called for her. Like a
distressing memory, her name hung after him. Followed him,
chased him everywhere he went. Though he left his
homelands, she followed him. Her thoughts delved into him,
took over his dwindling mind, caused his sanity to leave him
more than it already had.
And then, she was gone. And he was alone. Utterly,
sadly..alone. Why it bothered him, he didn't understand. His
whole life had been spent alone, he was his own worst
enemy. And yet when his mother would leave him, he felt
sick and upset. She was so close to him, so close. And she
abandoned him like she always did. Like she always would.
Nares flared as he pulled what little of him was left, he
moved and allowed himself to start walking. Ears were
soldiers on his head, listening, waiting. For any noise to raise
them up, ready for battle. But nothing came. Depression set
into him, as it always did right after she left. He'd be upset
until he came upon another equine. When he'd reach
another horse, he'd cheer up. But they would, inevidably,
leave as well. They always did. Who was he to expect
otherwise?
The overwhelming scent of salt took him over, causing him
to sneeze and shake his cranium. Large chunks of forelock
fell back over his forehead as he stopped moving, listening
to everything around him. The best recognized noise were
the birds. They always played, how happy they sounded. The
bluejays, how they hissed. The songbirds, singing everyone
goodmorning. How blissful their life seemed, how envious
he was of their utter lack of wordly knowledge
His knees popped as he moved. Had it been that long, had it
really? He grinned, because he felt something. A little pinge
in his heart, a reassurance something was soon to happen.
He began to pick his pace, unsure of where he was going.
Knowledge was unnecesary. Destination was unnecesary.
Travel was necesary, though. Travel was what made it okay.
Sand. His hooves slipped slightly on the cool sand, and
he knew that within a hundred yards would be water. Oh,
how he longed for the taste of salf on his tongue. How long
had it been since he'd been here. Four years? No, longer.
How old was he? Five? No..more.
A large, busty brute, he moved slowly at first, picking up the
momentum and then moving faster. At a slow walk, he made
good enough time, and was unsure of the necesity of going
faster and wasting energy.
The water. 'lap, lap, wap, lap..' called to him more than
food. It became evident the closer he got, how much he
missed home. How much this was his home. A smile
creeped onto his face. How he wished it hadn't, but it did.
He wasn't going to try and force it down, this was his home.
He belonged here, no matter if he was alone or not.
But he ran into the water before he thought he would, and
the cold stole his breath from him. The water was a theif,
taking his words and resolve. Dec clambered into the water
more, leaning into it, as if it were solid and would hold him. It
was all he knew. All he had. He felt blissful, happy. A feeling
rose in him, a feeling he knew not much of. He
was..complete. Waves rushed at him with enough force to
knock him in. For a brief second, the thought of diving
under. He thought of letting the one thing that made him
happy taking him down, to sink to the bottom, to feed the
creatures in it. To become part of the happy. Aqua
lapped him back towards the shore, and he let it until he felt
the squish of mush at the bottom.
"Mush at the bottom". That was the most accurate
description of his life. He never had anything solid to hold
onto, to lean on. Nothing was ever permanant. He sled
around on the mushy bottom until he was hit by another
wave. That was his life, that was his ocean.
Moving towards the shore, he inhaled deeply. Air racked his
lungs, and his lungs begged to take it in, yet he refused. He
wanted the water, needed the water. As he approached the
stark brown of shore, he began chuckling. Not the deep,
manly chuckle. But a Bellatrix Lastrange laugh, that tore into
you and made you feel unsafe, bitter, watched. His
cranium sliced through the air, his shoulders angled towards
the air, and he let out a gasp of a laugh, and evil, bold laugh
that invited company, that..insisted on it. Sopping
tressed slapped his robust neck, whiplash floated on the
two feet of water he still stood in.
Water swished! as he let his body fall limp back down,
heaving in air as he did so. His body shook slightly,
adreniline pumping like poison through his veins. Plump
drops of water rolled from his forelock to his star, trickling
down his nose, to reunite with the water. He grinned, his
look satisifed and angry, wonderful and elated with the
position of power. Dec was powerful, here in the water.
The sky was emense before him, clouds rolling in like some
kind of force, coming as if summoned.
Once more, Dec let out a laugh that lingered like his
mother's name, her memories. His laugh took you captive,
made you want what you knew you couldn't have. What he
wouldn't allow you to have..Him.
So there he stood, water hitting his muscled legs, sending
electricity through him, sending powerwaves through him.
The stallion stood there, and once more felt something
inside him. Utter outrage. For the first time in his life, the six
year old was angry with his mother, for leaving him. For
making him live this life.
At the time he felt his strongest, he was most vulnerable. He
needed someone, anyone, to make him whole. Dec was
missing a piece, a piece of his mind, he felt another could fill.
Sweet, childlike voice came back as he grinned, giggled and
said;
'I rang the bells, love. Now please, come to hell, love.'
