:: Mare : 15 : Mixed : Champagne : 14.2hh : The Ridge ::

They were on the move again. Sabela couldn't say she would miss the desert, but she wasn't ready to leave. Rayna was still young and she worries about the filly bracing the sea for the first time. She knew Liland wasnt happy being on Salem, that he wished to be back on Tinuvel, but all this traveling was hard on the foals. It was probably one reason Desire stayed behind with her children. She had mentioned not wanting to leave salem.

Sabela was surprised she didn't catch a cold with the drastic temperature changes. She has lived on Tinuvel for most of her life so she was used to the cold, but the heat of Salem had been hard to bare. Seeing Zjeena have to leave the herd was even worse to see. The mare was her first friend in this herd even though they couldn't bond by speech. Sabela still felt a connection her lead mare. She found Larka on the commons and brought her home to meet Liland. Sabela didn't know their relationship, but the pretty grey did give birth to his foal in spring.

Now, they have the msre Monster with them, but Sabela didn't know who she was. She smells of snother stallion so she guesses Lilland had challenged for her. He has been fighting lately and coming home with fresh wounds. It worried her, but as long as he was never terribly injured or killed she would tolerate it. After all, her half brother fought all the time so she was used to having the leader fight. The champagene mare thinks of all this as she takes the swim with the herd across the sea. She follows Liland whereever he leads.

Eventually, they come to another island she was never been to. Sabela feels warm weather here, but not scorching like the desert so she already feels more comfortable. The land was uphill and Sabela knew she was in for some exercise living here. Night fell and the mares rests with her young daughter in a spot that reminds her, she knows this place. This waa where She watched her mother die after years of thinking she was already gone.

Sabela did not sleep much and soon morning was upon her. Liland calls for the herd and she makes her way to him, bringinf along little Reyna. Heavy bags paint under her eyes and she stumbles in a haze until she finally reaches the herd. She stands there silently waiting to hear what her leader had to say. If only she could tell him what this place means for her...
