Falls

She was once maturing, but certain events over the last six years have caused her to reverse. She was back to life when she had first met Soljor and became his woman. Recently, she found herself pregnant with their first child and her excitement was off the charts! The bay mare danced across the Lagoon day and night until she grew bored. She had tried escaping the male musk for the other islands, but she was quickly apprehended by Cullen who gave her a swift kick to the chest. She had screamed and hid from her son until one day her courage returned to try again. This time she made it.

Cherish had never been able to venture around the islands before, and even though she still wasn't allowed to, she made it a life goal. She was born in the Shore on the island of Atlantis where her parents shared their love story. She was three and heavily pregnant with Cullen when she was forced into the Lagoon by Thane. From there she met Soljor, fell in love, and they were about to live together in the Bay until she was taken again. This time she was kidnapped out of the Lagoon and herded far from the islands. Young Cullen and her newborn Avilius were taken with her. Years and years passed and no one came for her. Soljor never came.

Now, she has repressed that part of her life and she was back to the good old days. She lived in the Lagoon with Cullen and Soljor, little Avilius was just forming in her womb, and her best friend was Alex. She was happy despite the large bruise on her chest that reminded her of her current situation, but at least she couldn't see it. Cherish drew closer to the loud sound of running water and stared in awe as the air thickened to mist. It was the falls where her parents had first met and so the falls would be her first place to see. She saw it as some magical place only heard of in stories, but now she was seeing it for the first time.

Her smile was large when she came upon the mother and child exploring the waters themselves. She beams at them with a child-like look and speaks in an excited voice. "Hello! Are you here exploring as well?" It was odd for a mare of her age to have such child's wonder and mannerisms, but this was exactly as she had been as a five-year-old learning about life.
