GUIDELINES

- the Prairie stands as a symbol of peace and prosperity among the islands
- anyone is welcome to live here so long as they do not bring harm to the Prairie or any of it's residents
- adventure and exploration is not only allowed, but encouraged! residents are asked to use their better judgement and not travel to places that could bring them harm
- the head of the prairie has final say in all prairie matters. the secondary and third positions are not able to be challenged for and are selected by the head
- the guardians take on a more active role in the prairie; they must protect the inhabitants of the prairie and go on patrols of the prairie borderlines and shore. they can welcome strangers to the prairie and invite anyone to live here, though they must inform one of the leaders of any newcomers or visitors

Was I left behind?
Tell me, tell me I survived.


I knew there was something unique about Petal the moment I laid eyes on her at the Crossing for the first time. She was different from the rest of us. Worldly in her own right. And not just because of her beautiful and delicate physique or inqusitive nature. Perhaps it was wrong of me to have captured her and kept her to myself as I had when I initially claimed her for the Prairie. So when Petal confessed that she was ready to leave those months ago, I wasn't surprised by her restlessness. I too had an itch to wander and explore. It's what lead me to the mainlands for all those years. But it's also what drew me back here. I only returned when I had satisfied my hunger for adventure. It saddens me to hear that her journey took her down a disappointing path.

I merely bob my head once, and raise it high over my withers as she speaks. "It may not have been thrilling, but it seems to have lead you to the answer you were looking for." I say quietly. My own revelations during my personal journey hadn't been dissimilar. "Wandering is good for the soul, I think." I add lazily at the end, blinking rapidly but offering Petal a soft smile.

The conversation turns quickly and I feel a tightness swallow up in my throat. I hate having to experience this over and over, sharing the news of Brienne's death with every new or old friend who comes along. But Petal deserves to know, she was a member of our family. She knew Brienne, probably better than most. "I'm grateful that you're here." I say as tears well in my eyes. The onslaught of emotion is strange to me, something inconceivable even after all these weeks of living through the grief. It can wash up so unexpectedly, and come at you all at once. And there's nothing I can do to temper or dispel it. It just swallows me whole. Suddenly the tears in my eyes begin to spill, trailing slowly down my brown cheeks and staining my the chestnut color of my fur a shade darker. I crane my head to my shoulder, looking away from Petal as the tears flowed freely. "I-I'm sorry." I say hoarsely, swallowing hard against that relentless lump in my throat. "Sometimes, it's just all consuming."
