Personality: Stratus is a gentle, calm and quiet type of guy. He's very shy around new equines but with a little time, he comes out of his shell without any problem. His shyness can make his mumbling or not-so-social behaviour a bit annoying but his warm nature makes it hard not to love him. He likes to please so anything from being a soundboard to climbing mount Everest he will do if he's asked. Many mistake his quietness also for cowardice which he is anything but. He's slow to anger but when he does, he's got ferocity beyond compare.
Story: When I was young, I was ambitious to the point of reckless.
My mother was constantly scolding me for getting myself into trouble of various sorts but no amount of punishment kept me from doing it all the more.
When I was a weanling, my father relocated his harem to a section of flatlands by the sea. I loved living there with the salt in the air and the water to bound and splash in. Here life was comfortable for us, making it much easier for myself and the other colts to get into trouble.
One summer day, myself and my friends were wading in the ocean waters, splashing each other and chasing each other around. Once we were sufficiently wet, we ran out onto the beach and up the flatlands where the beach started to grow into cliffs. Not realizing any sorts of dangers that could be around, we raced and chased all while literally inches from the cliff's edge.
"Stratus!" I heard her scream.
My mother looked up at me, eyes filled with terror when she noticed I was so close to the edge.
I, myself, however, did not realize how close I was and thought I was perfectly safe.
"Mama, it's fine I-" I stammered as my one back leg slipped out from underneath me. Without any sense of balance, I knew I was going over and had to watch my mother's terror as I felt myself falling until I hit the water and my head hit the rocky bottom...
When I finally came to, I was lying on my side, drenched and cold. I could tell my mother was giving me a lecture but with my ears full of water, I couldn't hear what; plus something else had my more immediate attention:
From my side that was face up, I couldn't see a thing.
I bolted upright to my feet in fear of my lost vision but when I opened my other eye, I realized not all was lost. With all the water now out of my ears, I heard a stomp from my other side and turned my head to see my father. He looked at me in a way of examination that made me more afraid than what sort of punishment my mother had in store. It wasn't until he straightened up that I knew something was wrong.
"He's half blind now. He'll never see out of that eye again."
Poem: Every moment of his life
it's seemed like an eternal strife
when you blink
and cannot think
for all your sight
its never right...Art:
