Anxiety sits in her stomach like a heavy stone, weighing her down and reminding her of everything that has happened over the past few days. She has hid herself away deep within the jungle's grasp, buried in the embrace of the coconut palms.
The call of Rougaru is faint on the breeze, he requests everyone to come to him. She picks her way through the jungle, meandering beneath the shadows of the canopy until her bicolored eyes find a small gathering of horses. She does not make a noise as she halts near the edge of the herd.
She has not spoke to Rougaru since returning from the Prairie. Her secrets weigh her down, causing her stomach to flip flop. Her bicolored eyes wander over the other mares, noticing their growing bellies, she knows that soon her own belly will begin to grow.
