Horse Development: Luna had been restless for days. Whenever she would close her eyes she could swear there was a light flickering and beckoning her. It kept her up at night and she was beginning to show the signs of severe insomnia. Her energy was lacking, she had little interest in some of her favorite things, and her endless patience was running out more frequently. Her herd was getting increasingly worried about her. Tenebris, the leader of their herd resolved to try to find a way to help her.
"You haven't slept in days Luna, what's wrong?" He asked her one night as he noticed her standing, looking at the stars instead of sleeping.
"I'm not sure I can put it in words." She answered quietly. This made the stallion frown in worry.
"Will you try?" He questioned. After a pause Luna sighed and nodded.
"Whenever I close my eyes, there's this.. light of sorts. If I ignore it, it just shines brighter until I react. If I follow it, take a step towards it or such, it also moves. Getting further away, but the light returns to a tolerable level." She explained. "I just don't understand. It's like its trying to lead me somewhere, but where?" She added, tossing her head. Her frustration was obvious.
The stallion listened closely and after a pause responded. "A light that wants you to follow it. Do you want to follow it?" He asked simply.
Luna nodded. "It's bizarre but I truly want to."
Tenebris smiled. "You have always dreamed of exploring. Do you think maybe this light is a subconscious manifestation? Your own heart and mind telling you to listen to your dreams and go?" He mused. Luna looked up startled.
"That would explain why the light's general direction is so random and that it changes. It just wants me to go. It doesn't care where." She wondered.
"It doesn't care, or you don't care?" Tenebris teased. Luna laughed.
"Both." The smiled but suddenly she gasped.
"It's gone. The light's gone." She whispered.
Tenebris frowned. "Maybe because you finally admitted to yourself what you want?" He wondered.
Luna nodded. "It must be. So now it seems I must act on it." She smiled.
Tenebris nodded. "Go. Explore, and see what you need to see." He encouraged her. Luna smiled and with a final goodbye, galloped off to explore.
