It has been some time since she had a conversation with Bjorn that didn't involve the rest of the herd, but it needs to happen. She didn't mind being here in the Ridge, but her time with Bjorn was less than stellar. First impressions of the stallion were good. He was attractive despite his smaller height, but their personalities didn't click well. Ysabel found herself becoming someone she was not supposed to be in this herd. She brawled with others for experience, something she never dreamed she would be doing. Peace was all she wanted, but she felt like she had to fight for her safety here and the safety of her young.

Bjorn has not approached her since she left him in annoyance so her thoughts on the stallion remained as such. It was Tavas who made her feel at home here. She may not have exchanged proper words with the palomino, but she was a mare from home and someone who paid attention to her. Ysabel recalls the herd meeting where her and Tavas exchanged a look, Tavas just as annoyed with Bjorn as she was. Then there was Tigerlily. She did not know the buckskin mare at all, but she heard they shared a common problem in the herd- Nyimara. The bay mare was the main reason Ysabel couldn't feel at home here. She was the reason she built up her strength to one day defeat her in a duel if she continued on this path she took.

Ysabel would be damned to be lead under her rule.

A sigh leaves her lips as she causally walks the rocky terrain ahead. Her dunalino filly races ahead with little legs kicking up with energy.
