He spots the filly as she emerges among the snow and ice. He knew exactly who she was from his life on the Inlet, but they had not seen each other for almost 2 months. He remembers briefly introducing himself to the pretty filly of gold, but then mother had called him away. The quit colt usually stuck close to his mother and his twin siblings even though he wished to play with the other foals. He felt like he didn't know how to approach them so he stayed back and watched the other foals play in the distance. He watched Tauri a lot.
"Tauri." He speaks her name with a quiet voice as she walks over. A smile is upon his red lips as he stops in front of the filly. As far as he was told, he was not related to Tauri as her mother had bred outside the herd. As far as he was concerned he was free to start a relationship with her. "How have you been? How is the Inlet herd and father?" He did not know anything about the happenings of his family next door. A mare had defeated Warsaw in battle and taken his mother along with himself and his sibling to another island. They stayed there for a few weeks before they were sent here to live in the Bay with a stallion that looks similar to mother.
Torsten didn't know all the details, but he was glad that all the swapping of homes seems to be over with. He was tired of crossing the sea. |
