Wren had come to the call that Liland issued, though she did not stand among the other women near him. It was the shyness she carried that kept her back, though she listened to the news with forward ears. It was a lot to take in; so many changes that seemed to happen often here. It was unsettling in her heart, though she did not leave as the other mare did. Her point clearly made without uttering a word. Lowering her head some, Wren let her ears flick back before pushing them forward as she slowly made her way up to the new Fjord Queen.


Was this the only reason Liland had chosen her?


Wren did not know this mare and would not make such accusations. But she couldn’t help the thoughts that crossed her mind. “Congratulations.” she murmured, offering a true smile. Wren did not carry a malicious personality; her words were not spoken with sarcasm. If Liland had chosen her as Queen, then Wren would treat her as such. Just as she would the new Second.
