Since showing Honey to our secret place our bond together growed. Something inside of me wanted to protect her so much, I loved her neigh her scent, I loved just her. I wanted nothing more than to just gallop with her, and let the wind play with our manes and tails. The seasons passed until when the next spring came, all the foals in my year were all full grown. We were 3 years old now and it was time to leave the here and start our own life.
I wake up at the crack of dawn, this was the day we left and would no longer be in our fathers herd. I gently push honeys dark brown neck and wake her, I walk away from her warmth, and we start climbing our way out of the secret valley, today we will say goodbye to our mother and herd. Hail had just recently left as he had found a filly he was interested in and everyone was becoming more independent. We were still great friends. It was dangerous for us and honey to go to back to the herd as dust will probably fight for honey, all the young stallions will. With both our dark coats we were quite invisble in the still dark morning. My coat was very black, so black that in the night I was fully invisible. Honey had a dark brown coat with a light brown mane and tail, she had turned into a very smart mare. She can track and move as silently as ever.
We trot and canter the way their.
I stick to her side all the way, keeping with her pace. I nuzzle her nose before entering our old herd, we part ways and say our goodbyes to our mothers.
I gently nudge my mother awake.
"Spiritus, you came, you shouldn't have, that's foolish every colt will be after honey" she nickers softly.
"Yes, I know that's why we can't stay for long, If you ever need to find us, follow the creek, I will leave one hoof mark for you to find on the first night of the full moon"
"Thank you my son, now you must be careful remember all your training, and be careful of the man and other stallions, in the summer Maximus but lose his place as king, when your at your strongest point you must win the title back, now go whilst it is still dark"
I nuzzle her and leave, I also see hail come quietly through the heard, like a ghost, he almost white coat giving him a illuminating look. I give him a greeting before leaving with honey, I look up and see Maximus give me a nod.
"You will do well" before disappearing.
As honey and I leave the herd we hear the others coming.

A/n:
Just letting you know that from now on it will be wrote differently.
E.g as honey and spiritus leave the herd they hear the others coming.
Sorry for any confusion, I started to re edit 1 and 2 chapter but it will take forever so just starting now.
