There is so much emotion on the fjord mare’s face and it claws at Wren’s heart. That deep twisting guilt quickly turns to a sadness she can not shake and before she can help it, she reaches out her pale face to brush velvet lips against the other mare’s cheek. “Do not hold it in for my sake.” she says softly, her blue eyes reflecting the warmth she wanted to share with Zjeena. “Let the tears fall now. So that the saltwater can wash them away. When you step onto the shores of your new home, you will have left your hurt to the sea.”


Wren knew it was not that easy and that further troubles lie ahead. But it would do Zjeena no favors to keep it bottled up inside. There were times that it would be best and with no knowledge to what the future held, this may be one of the last chances the fjord got. So Wren would stand with her as long as she needed, and offer the strong mare any additional strength she needed before facing the next chapter in her life.


“Someday, when we see each other again, I know you will have happy memories to tell me.” Wren added, perking her ears forward and offering a smile. To survive something like this, the sabino had found staying positive made life easier. To find a silver lining. She just hoped it was not on bad times that the two crossed paths once more.
