Home.
The sooty colored mare wandered briskly out of the Cove - good riddance - and strode eagerly into her one true home. A short smile crossed her steely lips as she breathed in the crisp spring air of the Inlet. Her blue eyes wandered over the familiar terrain. The evergreen and pine trees, along with their neighboring boulders, were just how they left it. But gone were the thick layers of snow, having since been replaced with a light cropping of fresh, green chutes. Purple wild flowers dotted the lower lying valleys which lead out to the mouth of the sea.
Vita Nova reveled in the site of the land for a moment more, grateful for Warsaw's determination to return them where they truly belonged.
But the physical toll had been a significant hardship for the great grey stallion. Silently, Vita Nova fretted over Warsaw's ailing health. He was never quite the same after the war. And since then, he battled the Icelandic stud and lost, and was attacked by hungry wolves in the Cove. It seemed the King of Tinuvel just couldn't catch a break.
But with the warmer months arriving, and the Inlet's plentiful spring offerings, Vita Nova hoped this was a sign of a new chapter. Warsaw could rest now. He deserved to rest.
The spotted mare parted her dark lips and emitted a high-pitched whinny for her love, calling to him as she picked up a lofty two-beat trot as she moved deeper into their home. She kept her eyes peeled for him and their children.
