Novus.

Having once been here, the stallion eventually sequestered himself in isolation, not wanting to face the harsh truth for himself. Knowing that he'd failed not only himself, but his boyfriend and the other equines that followed him caused the stallion to withdraw in on himself, pine for the days in which he led fearlessly, without question, without doubt. Now, though, he didn't really see a reason as to why he had isolated himself. Despite having only led for a short time, his herd and the land over which he ruled had become vastly better, had come out of hiding from their previous rulers, and had started to blossom again. It was only bad luck that he'd gotten wind of a sister — that he wasn't even aware he'd had — had encountered some problems and needed his help. Being the dutiful equine he was, the copper-burnished stallion departed his beloved land, his herd, his beloved boyfriend. It was in the pre-dawn early hours that he'd bid farewell to Bucky, had said all they needed to say, and had left to find his sister in Agnosia. 

When he'd gotten back to his homeworld of Agnosia, he saw the towns he had loved, the secret hideaways where he and Bucky had spent as foals, where he and his mother spent her final days together. Everything was so bittersweet, but his old friends welcomed him with open hearts and warm wishes when he finally graced them with his presence. It was bittersweet, Liam had decided, being back in Agnosia, back in the towns where he and Bucky had spent their youth, had been separated more than once, where he thought Bucky had died after a fall off a train. The stallion was, of course, not dead, and they had managed to meet and finally start dating after years of dancing around their feelings for each other. It broke Liam's heart to leave Bucky behind again to lead their herd in Caeleste, but Liam needed to go help his family.

Now that he was pulling himself out of his self-isolation, Liam decided it was time to try and get to know those individuals in his Court. He hadn't seen many others, and when he did, he managed to slip away, hide from prying eyes. Of course, during this time, he was able to keep himself looking good, looking fit even. He was still the same strong, muscular, intelligent stallion that he always had been. Liam was just ashamed at how he'd handled himself, presented himself here in Novus. Usually, he wasn't like this, and he'd have already made several friends. But leaving Novus, going to Caeleste, leaving Caeleste, going to Agnosia, and then coming back to Novus had done a number on his mental health. Working on making it better was a lot, but Liam was ready to do it. He was ready to get better.

Standing in Susurro Fields, with the sun beating down on his coppery pelt, his gaze staring out at the horizon and at the sparkling water, Liam wondered what his purpose was here, what he was meant to do. Was he meant to be like everyone else? Was he meant for something great? Truth be told, he wasn't really sure what he was destined for anymore. There were no wars to be fought, no great invasions to be staved off, and no gods to fight back against. Was this retirement? Is that what this is?

"Liam Speaks."


Notes;; If you look at the map, he's standing on the left side of the Fields, near the water, so he can hear the waves crashing against the beach? Or is it cliffs? It's not clear lol, sorry!
