Fios-Rente-Narve-Kassa made a point of returning to the Meadow of his home realm only when it was absolutely necessary.
The uneasy glances from his kin caused him constant frustration, and he much preferred the easy company of Emma, living in the Earth realm. The others were afraid of him, and they rarely made the slightest attempt to hide it. Upon his arrival, the unicorns of the Meadow had been spread thinly across the lush green grass, and now they huddled together in groups, mindspeaking in whispers about him and his sudden appearance. It was not unusual, and in the years since he had stopped living among them, they had ceased hiding their whispered thoughts from him, only causing further frustration.
Most unicorn's coats gleamed with an unearthly white, and their auras glowed with happiness and contentment, but Fios-Rente-Narve-Kassa had a grey coat and a black mane, and from when he was a foal, it was always said that his aura emitted a restlessness and frustration. He was to be feared and rejected - the Dark One who inexplicably lived in the flawed human world when their own realm was so perfect. Fios looked up into their perfect sun: the bright orb that never slept. It gave a pleasant amount of light and warmth, and unlike the harsh Earth sun, it didn't hurt the eyes if you stared up into it. Back on Earth, the sun would sometimes be covered with clouds, and even then its rays were still enough to burn uncovered skin. In the evening it would switch off, hide beneath the horizon. Emma told him that when her part of the world was in darkness, the sun would be shining on another section of the Earth, so it wasn't so different from the constant sunshine of the Meadow, but Fios appreciated the dark. He and Emma preferred to be a part of the world the humans called night.
