After almost a full year of being in the Bay, it came as a surprise when a stallion challenged for her. Not once had she strayed off Liland’s land. She had remained loyal and hidden safely, but still she had not gone unnoticed. When the stallion summoned them, Wren nervously followed. It was the first time she had ever left Tinuvel; or even the Bay. It was the first territory she had washed up in from the mainlands, and despite the cold, she had not been brave enough to venture else where. Now she did not have a choice. And neither did her son.


“stay close.” she had warmed the growing colt. The waters could be merciless to an adult and even more so on the young. But he was strong and she was vigilant, making sure they both made it to their new home. As they clamored up onto the sandy beach, Wren was shocked at the sights before them. The colors were beautiful and the temperature pleasing to her typical cold skin. The scent of others hit her delicate nose as she raised her head, dragging it all in. This place was alive, and it caused her heart to beat just a bit quicker.


“You should be safe here.” she said, glancing down to Belikov. “He challenged for you too. But just in case, let’s make sure he is friendly before you do any exploring.” Wren, secretly, felt the exciting need to go exploring too. Almost like a child, her heart fluttering like a caged pigeon at the thought. Taking in a deep breath, she released it upon a call to anyone nearby.
