Liland mind was not back to normal. Zjeena has not saught him out since her return home, she has diligently ignored him. The twins spent most of their time either foraging ,with their mother or siblings. Occasionally they would come and chat with him and he did his best to look happy. But the truth was Liland was depressed and all the fighting had taken its toll on his spirit. He had force bred Talien even though that had never been his intent and even though she stayed on the island she didn't seem to care to get to know him, actually he hadn't really notice her trying to get to know the other mares either.

However, one day when he had been grazing the sound of pitter pattered feet on the snow got his attention. The wolves must of thought they were being stealthy when his ears went back and he charged them striking one of them hard.He chased them till they crossed the border to the Inlet. His nostrils flare as he paces the border to make sure they did not return before returning to his little herd. He looks them over as night falls upon them and they all doze off. Liland however, very rarely sleeps. His mind never shutting down. He was convinced Zjeena hated him and possibly only stayed for two reason's because of the twins and because she loved this land.

The sun was rising and a fresh powder of snow lays on the ground. It also rests on his back. He sees something out of the corner of his eye and looks to Talien, but feeling the guilt from what he had done he just watches her.Perhaps he should just give up. Perhaps he should say fairwell to all and vanish.
