Meaning in Breadcrumbs

Just a little light flickers in. Violently, it nudges me awake. I shut my eyes tighter. I put my hand over my face. I think, "No... just a little longer." The problem with light is that it makes its way in no matter how you try to shut it out. Laughter is contagious but the disease isn't funny. Violet, now transitioning to blue... soon all will be white. Blinding, burning... my hand over my face won't be enough to stop it. The night was loving comfort, soft and gentle in her embrace. I could have lived there for centuries. I could have stayed hidden in her depths and silent in her vacuum. You wouldn't allow it. So I fell to earth, and with this day I must accept that my love has run aground... and I have simply slid onto the gravel surface without the proper safety equipment.

Up, Up and Away

Eugene here. The Girl has locked herself in a box of notes and ink droplets and asked that I not make too much a big deal of it. Race Training ended in the Spring and the Tournament was held recently. The Golden Elite Squad submitted their strongest athletes this year in hopes that we would continue a legacy of excellence in the sport of Pegasus Racing. My own protege is a fantastically talented bloke named Ashe who stood a very good chance of taking home the Golden Wings (coveted by many and won by Yours Truly several times!) Alas, the Golden Elite Squad only placed an athlete in Third for the Stallion division (Bronze Feather prize.) All of us were astounded when a little known gent from Canialah Galaxy took the Gold and Jemin from Astrid Galaxy placed second for Silver. Just shows you can train all you like, but there are still some surprises left in this Universe.

Speaking of surprises, I'm off on an Adventure of Epic Proportions. I can't say exactly where I am going, but I've been made responsible for overseeing the safety and security of a Glorious Treasure. I must tend to its welfare, and in the process take some time to reorganize my priorities. Race Training for the next Tournament starts in a couple of months, so no doubt I will return by then (besides, The Girl will insist at some point she simply must see the Glorious Treasure.) I will do my Mistress' bidding, and I will be a steadfast soldier in the name of all things Sacred Friendship. I will fly swiftly and carefully, and she will be my Guiding Light when the moon is hiding. She's pretty good at shining.

Sincerely Yours,

Eugene (Champion Pegasus, Golden Elite Squad)
