She felt some relief to be away from Paradise, but also some thankfulness that Rougaru had let them go. Things could have gone much worse for their little group of unclaimed females. If he had wanted to he could have taken advantage of herself, Macabre, and even taken away Clarity for later use. Right now the filly was too young for childbearing, but she wouldn't put it passed a male trying to claim her. Thankfully, none of that had happened so Cherish is expelling all those nasty thoughts. The trio, now rested, made the journey onward to the Forest.

Cherish continues to follow Macabre faithfully as she believed it was the mare's strength that has gotten them this far. She trusted her intuition that kept her cautious in the presence of Rougaru and kept her cautious on their next ocean swim. She had almost lost Clarity the last time they entered the water. As Cherish made it to the beach of Luthien she immediately makes such Clarity was with her, which she was. She nuzzles her yearling daughter before shooting a smile Macabre's way.

"Where are we now Macabre?" She asks as Clarity clings to her side per usual. Cherish glances past the beach inland where tall trees grew towards the sky. There were a lot of trees here and many birds. She watches some birds singing in the nearby branch. Her tail clings tightly against her rump as she knows the signs she was now displaying. She was happy she hadn't come into heat around Rougaru or that could have made things more difficult. She trusted this place Macabre had led them was safe, but she was still unsure with her current condition.
