The Loneliest Pony

Stormy, The Loneliest Pony has spent his life traveling with no destination in mind, he does his best to avoid everyone, trying to be invisible, he mostly travels at night under the cover of darkness. He is shy, he is nervious, he has been broken, and he is afraid, afraid of friendship, afraid to trust, and most of all afraid of love, as all lead to hurt and he doesn't want anymore pain. So he decided being alone is better. He knows no other way, he doesn't remember a time that was any different, just an ever changing road.

With his horn broken he has no magic anymore, but he doesn't miss it, it would only bring attention to him. But he can fly and that is something he enjoy's very much. Flying high above in the clouds that hide him further, but it is not all for hiding, he fly's for fun as well, when he's sure no other's are around.

Stormy mostly spends his time in forests and on mountains, the forests are peaceful and the mountain views are breathtaking, appriating this is one thing this life has taught him. He spends hours at a time looking at the distant views from cliffs and exploring the deepest parts of the wilderness, looking for whatever he can find.

But one day as Stormy was exploring he came upon another pony, he wanted to leave right away but something about her made him stay a moment to long, she was surrounded by the animals of the forest, they were quite taken with her. Stormy took a step back trying to be quiet but he was still noticed, she looked right in his eye's with a soft stare, he felt himself blush heavily, she turned her head almost hiding as well, only giving a peak every now and then. Stormy kept backing slowly, he didn't know what to do. She finally turned to him again "...Hi", she said ever so softly and barely more than a whisper, Stormy just kept taking steps back, she tilted her head and stepped forward "...You.. uh.. could come over.. if you want", still in a nervous whisper. Stormy has hardly ever been around others, and when he was they were all to loud and made him nervous, but her... she spoke so peacefully, he liked it, but even so, he finally turned and galloped back into the forest, heart racing.

Stormy was on the edge of a village of ponies, normally he would leave as quickly as possible, but something about that pony has him curious, so he stays in the mountains and forest, silently watching. And every once in a while he see's her looking for him, she even does him a kindness and brings an apple to the spot where they met and leaves it. He knows that she knows he is there and still she comes hopeing he will finally speak. Stormy thinks much of this, but is he willing to take a chance.
