Name: Aion || The Timekeeper
Gender: Stallion
Answer: Aion isn't the type to collect shiny things, instead he collects clocks. He collects clocks of all sizes! Whether it be great big grandfather clocks, watches, or even alarm clocks. He is always stuck in his cave except when he goes to look for more clocks, so he likes to keep the clocks to see how much time has passed while he is hidden away. Sometimes he goes a week until he hunts for another clock, and sometimes it's a year, or maybe longer. He is not a very social horse so when he's looking for clocks he usually looks in abandoned towns nearby. But one time while he was out scouting he was on an old dirt road when a merchant had turned on the same road. Aion was wary and didn't like the fact that a human was headed his way, so he started to head off the road. But the merchant hurried to the stallion. Aion decided he would just see what the merchant wanted. It turned out the merchant just wanted a look at Aion, and he let Aion take one thing from his store. in the cart Aion saw a beautiful clock. It was fairly worn and did not work, but Aion saw its beauty. The merchant gladly gave him the clock and went on his way, so Aion happily went back home to his cave. He laid the clock down on a rock, and he started to fix and clean it. He had it sparkling in no time, it was a shining gold color, edged with gold leaves. Although he tried to fix the clockwork it failed. he did not care if the clock didn't work because this was still his favorite clock of them all, not wholly because it was gold and shiny but because this was the first time he had ever received a gift by a human. A few years went by, and he heard a person wandering in the forest where his cave resides, so he hid in the darkest part of the cave with his favorite clock. The human followed the ticking of all the clocks to find the mouth of the cave. Aion was mad that a human would dare to intrude in his home, but then he looked at the person. The girl had a small clock in her hands. She looked around and laid the clock down at the opening of the cave, she didn't enter his home at all. Aion wondered why that girl had left a clock at his home, but he didn't really care, because now he had another clock to love. after that girl left, later on in the year more people had come and left clocks at the entrance of the cave and left. not one entered the cave or dared to steal a clock. they had only come to leave a clock. Aion had been wondering why the humans did this so when the next person came he asked when people were leaving these clocks here. The person told him there was a story, "If you go to in the forest and follow the sound of the ticking clocks to the cave, you will see 'The Timekeeper's' home. They are not human or god though they are a unicorn. He fears humans so when you come the cave will appear empty, but don't be mistaken he is still watching from the comforts of the shadows, waiting to see what choice you will make. If you leave a clock for him, or be greedy and dare to take one of his precious clocks and face his punishment. So don't forget to take a clock with you to leave for him or else he might mistake you as a thief." Aion had no clue about this tale, but he didn't mind, he could get clocks just by waiting and could spend more time with his beloved clocks.
TLDR: Clocks, he collects clocks. i didnt expect to write this much sorry ^^'
