The longing look she gave Shamwari before she left. She had something important to say, but the words just never came. She hoped to have the chance one day. Maybe this experience would give her courage.

She made the swim across the salty waves from Luthien to Atlantis. It didn't occur to her that this island was the place her mother lived with her lover so long ago. The island of happiness and peace that her mother saw here was lost to her. Sanibel only saw dread and depression mixed with some freight. The timid mare was unsure what this Rougaru wanted with her. It might not be her he wanted at all, but unfortunately, she was a mare of the targeted stallion.

Dainty steps were taken along the sandy shore as she attempted to dry some of the water off her light golden coat. She shook her head a few times to shake off some loose droplets, but salt still clung to her lashes. She might be annoyed if her fear wasn't so overpowering her senses right now. Green eyes darted around the landscape for signs of life in this so-called Paradise.

The look on Shamwari's face as she was guided away was a arrow in her heart. The look of Primrose was even worse. She was glad to see Roheryn comforting her daughter as she sobbed on his shoulder. "Mommy will be back..." She whispers under her breath before turning to face the beast that has brought her here. She didn't speak just yet. She was sure he would have something to say to her first.
