Wings beat as the filly flew over the trees of Ischia. Already she had memorized the island and everything on it from constant explorations. Eifa now had a map of all the paths, open areas and hidden spots drawn in her head, so she knew her way around well. Even though she enjoyed flying and looking down at her birth home, she couldn’t help a longing feeling from growing within as she caught visual of the lands beyond, out in the distance. She wondered what it was like outside of Ischia, but she hadn’t managed to bring herself to leave just yet.
This was where her mother lived, along with her siblings. Well, she assumed they still lived there. The last time she had seen them was when she was no more than, what, a few months old? She couldn’t really remember. Eifa did miss her sister, however. Kove. They got along well, played all the time and all in all enjoyed each other’s company. She missed her mother as well, and wondered how she was fairing along with her siblings.
But now that she was practically on her own, she hardly stayed around the other members of the Kingdom, spending most of her time exploring and dreaming of the other lands in Beqanna. Someday she would leave the island and explore the much more vast lands. But not yet. She would wait just a tad longer.
As she reached one of the shorelines she flew closer to the ground, beating her wings in a quicker pace to steady herself before landing. Her hooves made a soft shuffling sound in the sand, the smell of saltwater drifting by with the wind. For a moment she allowed herself to be calmed by the lovely weather, watching the sun set over the horizon as the water reflected the merge of oranges and pinks of the sky. Memories of her playing with Kove and meeting other foals crossing her mind for a swift moment. She was sure she’d see them again someday, so there was no use in dreaming about the past.
Don’t linger on the past.
Stop worrying about the future.
There’s only now. Live in the moment.
Eifa smiled to herself and spread her wings once more as excitement beamed within her. She needed to find something to do that would thrill her, possibly make her a little nervous and even frightened, and maybe even get into some trouble. If there were no risks, then she wasn’t really living. Nothing is fun if there weren’t any stakes.
With this in mind, she beat her wings, pushing herself off the ground and into the sky once more. She began searching the land from above, keeping an eye out for anything interesting. She’d save any excitement for after dusk; it was simply more thrilling under the cloak of night, when no one watches. So for now, perhaps she could look for someone to speak to, or even attempt playing a little prank on an unsuspecting civilian.
