It's been a while. A very long while, in fact- nearly one year now, since Zeryx came to me. In fact, this time last year, the seeds were in place, for me to be guest of honor at Furfright, to see all my friends, to take a fleeting place in the spotlight. The humble horse was having difficulty remaining a horse, of all things.

As I fly to Furfright again this year, I will remember that night, forever engrained in my memory such was the force of emotion.

The night that I told the world that I was not a goat; and the instant I truly believed it and let it into my own heart. That moment led to who I am now, a year later; a ram, proudly answering to Zeryx Starfire. My latest picture from  vivisectionbob really puts it into perspective. At first glance the ram seems angry, but if you look closer, he's coyly smiling and beckoning you to get to know him better.

As I opened the curtains and the light flooded into my room, this is the song that welled up in my heart. Over the last year, I have grown into someone entirely different and yet the same as I ever was. Equus tells me he couldn't live without his sheep, and I know I can't live without him. To see the sparkle in his eyes though, it wasn't there before. Or perhaps, I didn't notice it until now.

This is the music of my heart, in the impressionist style you all have come to expect of me. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you pause to reflect on your own lives, and the people close to you. If you will be at furfright, I hope you will join me for a drink as I celebrate the coming of myself; the realization of Zeryx.

Love you all,
Zeryx
