Description
"Where do you live? Show us or tell us about your home!"

"You wish to hear about my home? Well, which one? I've had many in my life. I grew up in a rather large estate, my father is a well respected and experienced guardian and his first wife had been a talented cleric, so needless to say we were well off and had a good expanse of land as our own. My room had been on the upper floor, the balcony draped with golden silk curtains that gave way to the most beautiful view. On some nights I could not tell where the ocean ended and the skies began. The beach my childhood home sat along was just as much a home to me as the house itself, and Nathaniel and I would play in the shallows often, and chase each other out into the crystal-clear waters. As I grew older I found myself spending less time at the house and that beach, and more time among other equines, finding homes in them that were more than just a house.
In Kalikara I found someone who didn't care where I came from, what my heritage was, or how broken my family was becoming. In Kalikara I found a home that accepted me with warm, open arms, and I tore it down. I shook it's foundation until it shattered, and now it's nothing but a heap of rubble at my hooves. I am not proud, I do hope she is happy. In Eden...in Eden I found too much. I found a friend, a home, someone who could respond to my bitterness in turn, someone who knew exactly what I was thinking and feeling, and we may have torn at each other with our words but only to get beneath the surface; to a place where "You look like shit" meant "Are you okay?", where "I hate you." meant something so much more terrifying and I was scared of it. I ran. I ruined everything we built with hardly even a word. I know what I've done, despite what it may seem, and I choose to hide. Why try to fix what is shattered beyond repair?
My home now? I suppose you expect me to go on about the palace. Do not get me wrong, it is a splendid place to live, and the grounds it sits upon are absolutely gorgeous. But I cannot, as much as I try, see it as my home. As it stands right now, the only place I truly feel at home is under the waves, where it is nobody but me, and Cascade's gentle embrace."
