A shire sits by the side of a stream, contemplating the flow of the water, looking into it, through it, seeing his reflection facing back at him. Constantly seeking purpose and meaning in his life, he seeks favor from those around him without wanting to ask.

But this time, he is not alone. A mountain ram, black as the shire he keeps company, sits silently next to him. Jilted, forgotten, and repressed, the ram seeks release from the prison he himself holds the key to.

Fates intertwined, you might say that these two are indeed one- two sides of the same coin. Given the nature of the water horse... it is perhaps not so far fetched that this is only a natural progression. It is easier to understand, and thus fear less, something personified as non-demonic. My birthday falls 6 days short of the Aries sun sign, enough to still place me in my element, Water.

Flare and Zeryx.... what began as a project to help others understand themselves better, has generated something new and intriguing to me. Am I Zeryx? Is he me? This is something I want to investigate for myself. If I can be Zeryx, and release the tensions I have held back, it will make me a far healthier horse, to be sure. Imagine that... a horse healing himself by being a ram. My mind seems to be expanding to encompass these possibilities, and I must choose to embrace them.
