Your river of judgment
She felt no sense on danger in this land since she has been her many times before. Mother might not be with her, but nothing had ever happened before. One day she might learn about the dangers of the world, but for now she only saw the potential playmates in the Desert foals. Akello agrees to take her to a fun play to play and she follows after him excitdely. She was impressed he stayed with her each step of the way, this made her really feel included. She knew right then Akello would always be a good friend.
Some things in the Desert were different from the Badlands, but there were still many things similar. Jordan stares in awe at the bodies of water the Desert had, thinking of how hard her current herd worked to find water back home. Here the water was thick enough to have fish swimming around! She gladly jumps in the water with Akello, splashing each other and chasing the fish. Her whole memory of this adventure would be filled with laughfter! She follows the colt as he leads her away from the water and towards the cave.
Her coat begins to dry in the hot sun as they walk as she asks him a million questions about the cave. She didn't know what a cave was and doesn't recall anyone talking about a cave back home. A giant mountain, or rock, gets closer and closer until she could see the large opening where they could enter. She watches Akello curiously as she follows him and notes how his voice got lower and in whispers. She had a mix of excitement and nervous emotions from watching his reaction, but she continues to follow the colt faithlessly. Teal eyes look into the dark emptiness of the cave and she stops momentarily.
Akello looks to her with a smile, saying he would protect her. This pulls a smile over her nervous lips. "Okay." She whispers back to him. She fully believed Akello would, and could, protect her. She follows beside him into the cave, pressing her body close to his.
