With each passing minute worry plagues Onawa', she has yet to see the smiling face of Chumani. She had not seen her the night before in their usual meeting spot. She swallows hard, as she begins to pace the river bank again, she had seen her daughter head across the river to explore the other side, yesterday. This was the last time that she had seen her. With a snort, she pivots away from the river, she heads in the direction of the ocean. She would have to find Chumani, this was not like her to just wander with out letting her mother know.

Each stride was determined as she heads towards the herd, she would let Valentine know where she was going. She nods to herself silently, he deserves to know that their daughter was missing. He would be concerned for her just as she was. As she nears the herd she can not help but feel her eyes wander to the other mares and their foals. Her heart began to ache just at the thought of Chumani being gone.

A soft nicker escapes her lips as she nears him, she closes the distance her voice refuses to speak. She opens her mouth but feels a lump growing. She swallows hard, then tries again. "Valentine, I can not find Chumani." The worry creases her face. She was supposed to meet me last night and she never showed up. I'm worried for her." She hopes that he would understand.
