It's been a month since Day Dream had giving birth to a brand new baby foal, Free Spirit. At home it was peaceful and quiet, everypony was asleep. Of course young little Free Spirit was crying in the middle of the night and Hunter, like any other parent, comforted his son by singing in a soothing voice that helped little Free to sleep. Sure it took a while but it worked. Early the next morning where Hunter, Dreamer, and little Free Spirit was sleeping in one room, Prophet in his own room was awake. Prophet likes to get up early in the morning once a month; enjoy morning walks and watch the sunrise from a hill with his parents since it was a routine for him. Prophet quickly went to his parent’s bedroom. Prophet opens the door with his magic and slowly opens it, trying not to wake up the baby. He quietly walks to his parents’ bed as he whispers them.

“Dad? Wake up. Mum? Mum? It's time to wake up.” He continues to whisper to them until they finally wake up.

Hearing her son’s voice, “Hmm… Honey it's early? Go back to bed.”  His mother replies while now sleeping the opposite direction away from Prophet, but that didn't stop Prophet who's now bugging his dad.

“Hey dad! Let's go outside!” He began to whisper a little louder this time. Fortune Hunter let out a groan knowing his son won't stop bugging him unless he does get up from his bed.

“Now? At this time? Ughhh…” He yawns and tries go back to sleep. Prophet is determined to get up the hill and watch the sunrise whether his parents like it or not. So he end up staring his dad. (Weird right?) Hunter then opens one eye to see if his son was still there and sure enough he is, staring at him. He sighs knowing his son won't go away just like that.

“Fine. Fine. We’ll go just you and me. Your mother will have to stay here with the baby, okay?” As Prophet heard his father’s words he quickly left his parents’ room and out he went. Hunter gets up from his bed, stretches his back, and yawns once more to get the sleepiness out of his body. He then turn to his wife.

“You know, this is your fault for introducing him morning walks.”

“Mmm…well you owe me one.” She smiled in her sleep. Of course he smiled back and proceeds to head outside with his son. When he went outside the first thing he notice is his son’s backpack filled with things. Hunter wasn't amused.

“Prophet, put your things back into your room. We're not going camping or anything like that.” Prophet then made a pouty face but obeyed his father’s words as he went back to his room and left his backpack. He quickly rushed out of the house and ran as fast as his little hooves could carry him. Fortune Hunter simply rolled his eyes and smiles at his son’s excitement.

After passing through a forest they'd reached a high point view where they saw mountains beyond from where they're standing. The sun hasn't shown up yet so they're just in time for the sun to rise. As they look at the scenery Prophet looked down from the cliff and saw so many pine trees down below and a small lake. He was awed while his father smiled and took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air and lets it out. Yes the cool refreshing air as they feel the gentle breeze blowing through their manes. It was Hunter’s turn to look down below from where they're standing and it just simply took his breath away. Just seeing the view reminded Hunter of how much he love this view because it was special to him. This is where Hunter took Day Dream, his marefriend at the time, on their first date.

“Heh. I can't believe how much I love seeing the view from up here.” He closes his eyes smiling while remembering the memories he had with his wife.

“Why is that, dad?” Prophet asks.

“Well besides it being a beautiful view, this is the place where I took your mother on our first date.” His father answered. Of all the times they've been here Prophet had never heard the story of his parents being here before.

“Really? You never told me that before?”

“Well it's true kiddo. Actually took her more than once. We always keep coming here. It’s our special place. Even after we got married we always go here at night to see the moon shining down the lake and watch the stars lit up throughout the night sky. It is very serene. I guess sometimes I forget how much this place meant something to me, since we began to have a family.” Hunter looked down through the forest as birds fly from the trees heading north towards the mountains.

“Hey dad?”

“Yes, my son?”

“Does anypony know this place?”

“Oh no. It’s our secret place. Honestly nopony lives here near the mountains except us.”

“Oh? Cool!”

“Yeah… Hey maybe someday when you’re older you can bring your children here as well.” The young colt couldn't help but raise his eyebrow after hearing what his father had said.

“Uhh… Dad I'm too young to have kids. Also I don't want kids when I'm older. It's just too much work!”

“Hahaha I feel you son, but you might change your mind once you have a wife.”

“Eww! No! I don't want to have a wife! Ewww!” exclaimed Prophet in disgust. Hunter just simply laughed at his son’s expression. It wasn't too long until the sun started to rise up in the sky. The sun can be seen shining through the mountains as the light passes through the forest down below.

“Prophet just look at the sunrise! The dawn of beauty always come after night”, said Hunter admiring the sunrise.

“Yeah.” Prophet didn't say much since it took away his breath as well. They stayed for a while before they started to head back to their home with Day Dream and the newborn. As the night comes to an end here comes the beginning of another day.
