These last weeks of her pregnancy have been spent in the loving arms of Raider. Rougaru had tradrd her with Cullen for another mare of the Lagoon so that Raider may have her. Galexia followed her mother into the murky waters of the Lagoon, but Raider keeps her safe from prying eyes. She was too young to have anyway, but the filly was growing beautifully.

She was happy with Raider, but only as happy as a mare who loved another could be. Her relationship with Angel had not ended, they still had so much to say to one another. She leaves Galexia with Raider, but doesn't tell the stallion where she was going. On a whim, she swims towards Tinuvel in hopes that Angel would still be there. She heard Xiomara no longer reigned here, that Vita Nova had chased her out. She hopes that Angel had not followed her.

She rushes upon the icy shore with a belly heavy with foal. She breathes heavily as she runs across the Inlet, but when her brown eyes set upon the slim figure of Angel, her breath stops. Her legs halt and she stands frozen just staring at him. She remembers the mean things she said the last time she saw him. She wanted to make things right.

"I love you!" She shouts at him from a distance. Tears stream down her face as she watches his next movements.
