 Tell me, tell me I survived. I eased off the mare, watching her intently as she stepped into the shallow surf without much of a fight. But her words were repeating themselves over and over again in my mind. It was an odd retort given the fact that I was a stranger, and so was Ruger, and we were rather aggressively forcing her to leave her home and swim into the deep sea. Perhaps it was a ruse - some sort of cocky comment that held some sort of foreboding of what was to come now that we'd crossed Warsaw. I snorted at the idea. Ruger and I were old and experienced enough to understand what we were getting into. And I'd already met Warsaw before in battle. I'd happily clash with him again. I cocked my head to the left to search for Ruger. His gaze was still set inland, his nostrils flared as he scanned the horizon. It was unsettling just how easy this was. Where was the great grey stallion? And where was the rest of his herd? My heart was betting quickly in my chest. Momentarily I considered postponing our departure to investigate further. But I knew better - there was nothing but trouble waiting for us the longer we stood in another stallion's land. I whinnied to Ruger now, watching him toss his head and paw at the earth in anticipation. It was time to leave. A chilly gust off the sea sent a shiver down my spine as I followed behind the mare, who coolly and calmly set out to swim. For a second I thought I caught a familiar scent in the frigid breeze. Evaline? No, not exactly. Vita Nova? My dark eyes widened as I whipped my head back for the last time, searching desperately across the pebbled beach and into the treeline for a sign of ... anything. But nothing appeared. I snorted again and kicked out into the oncoming waves. It was time to go. Warsaw would realize soon enough that he was missing a pale-colored mare. |
