Hope was alive and well in the young stallion as he swam across to the Crossing. His original plan had been to jump from island to island until he got some word on the whereabouts of the mares he was looking for, but thanks to the lead stallion of the Savanna, he decided to take the advice and try his luck in the Peak first. Fearghas said the mares here might know something. It was worth a shot and maybe he could get that reunion for Lillika a little sooner than he'd expected. That would be a welcome surprise and he wanted to see the happiness return to her eyes when she saw her daughters again. Then he'd feel like he'd accomplished something.

The mountains came into view and he let out a sigh of relief as he walked up on shore. Shaking out his coat, the tobiano was clear about staying near the borders, not wanting to cause trouble with the Peak. He didn't know where Balor stood with them, but he wasn't out to make any enemies. Throwing his head up, the blue roan gave out a whinny for anyone nearby. Hopefully he could get some leads from here and get one step closer to that happy family reunion.
