This was a new adventure for him, leading the Bay. He remembered going over the possibility even before Liland arrived, but he never thought it would happen so soon. Warsaw came back from the Bay bruised, but victories and that began his journey into stallionhood. Requiem was to watch the Bay for signs of Liland leaving which he saw as soon as he arrived in the Bay. He just caught the last glimpse of Liland, Sabela, and his other mare disappearing over the waves. They were gone and so was his opportunity to meet more horses on this island that weren't family.

Hooves scrape over the rocks that litter the shore of the Bay. It was so quiet to have a part of an island by yourself and he was afraid his whole leadership would be a bust. Maybe he truly was too young to run his own herd. He kicks a rock with one of his hooves as he thinks of something Warsaw said to him last month. He was supposed to have a mate, chosen by Warsaw for him. If that was true where was this mare to keep him company?

A sigh slips through his pale lips and he turns his back to the ocean. He holds no hope for anyone to climb the waves to see him because he honestly knew no one other than Warsaw and his herd. He could only spend so much time alone before he goes insane. He moves inland with all hope lost that someone new might appear on his shore.
