Fayte had just woken up. Being as nocturnal as a horse could be, her day began late. She was quick to go through her morning routine of water, grass, wading, grass, chasing the annoying rabbits around, and more grass. To be honest, life was routine for her. And she didn’t mind it sometimes. She’d tried venturing out to the Falls twice before, but that had been less than fruitful. She sighed.
She knew there was another mare here - but she had yet to approach the girl. Honestly, Fayte couldn’t believe it had been so long and she had yet to meet her herdmate. She had never considered herself shy before… so what was the problem?
She munched slowly on the sweet grasses that grew close to the river. They were sweeter than those that were deep. And she didn’t have to worry about the predators of the dense woods. The chestnut had already had some close calls with a cat of some kind. She didn’t want to repeat those. It had been among the more terrifying of her experiences.
But the light winds carried something new today. And the spotted girl couldn’t help but feel excited. It was a new scent. She decided she would be social and go see who this new arrival was. The lazy afternoon sun beamed down through the full canopy leaving many twisting shadows. Fayte loved it. When the air was still enough, the golden orb in the right position, it would catch floating dust particles in the deeper woods and everything would drift down lazily.
She saw movement to the left and trotted off after it. The shape had been too big for a squirrel or rabbit. The spotted mare was observant if nothing else. Another horse soon came into view and she kicked up her heels and gaited forward. She was feeling rather chatty.
For it is not the Stars that determine our destiny - but ourselves
