Her eyes are not full of the fire of her parents one-time greatness. Her white portioned body is beautiful but she hadn’t glowed like her elder sisters, not enough that Sayyida or Antares had allowed themselves to heal enough to witness. It was a messy business, the Sadim’s fall. The death of her cousin had hurt greatly, his quiet self so sweet and undeserving of the brutal end he had gotten. At the hooves of his uncle, no less.
She lingers and mingles, always a part of the group and almost never an individual. She had chosen Helios for love of her family that yearned to leave and not entirely for her own self. He was handsome, surely, but handsomeness [she had found] did not translate to happiness or fulfillment. Perhaps it was because he hadn’t had to win her, she thought idly, cocking a hoof as she stood looking outwards towards the horizon where her uncle’s own oasis rested nearer to the oceanic rim of their territory.
Perhaps that was where she would go this day.
She only takes a few extra moments to decide on that, dipping so that her whole adult body disappeared into a valley between two steep Dunes. She would spend much of her travel like this. She was a mare alone; not bold enough, or trusting of Helios’ protection enough, to ride the dune peaks as her family had often done.
