She hates this season to her very core. Her chidren quickly became her whole life, take her heart with them every time she set off on their own journeys, but she wished no more falls would ever come. She had no one to share a love with that would make fall worth it. Only one of her three children were created at her own choice, this is why she hates fall. Every time the leaves begin to change color on the trees she begins to go into hiding. Maeve does not venture towards the sea in fear of capture. She does not venture anywhere near the borders of her home. She knows nothing of the neighbors on Luthien except for Bacardi. He seems nice enough, but she would never lay her trust in a strange stallion. She had doubts she could ever trust a stallion again.

Nearly a whle year has went by since she met the Thicket leader. Her daughter still begs to go see hm again and she still refuses. Especially in this season. She warns her youngest the dangers of going outside their home in the Fall. She warns Grizel that Bacardi might do something she didn't like because stallions couldn't control themselves. Grizel never believes her, but the girl was loyal to her mother. She stays in the Forest, but with Daracha's recent visit with her little colt Maeve knows time was ticking. She can only pray Grizel stays home long enough for this season to pass. The sound of hoof steps nearby startle her as she hides among the trees. Relief soon washes the fear away as she spots Persephone.

Her leader was clearly on a mission so she doesn't bother the bay varnish as she passes her by. Whatever Persephone has been doing to keep them safe has been working lately so she had no intentions of stopping her. Maeve goes bac to hiding among the trees for hours more until the nagging feeling in the back of her head grows too loud. She wonders what advice Persephone might have for her. Having no idea where the mare was now, Maeve makes her way to a less dense part of the Forest. She makes herself more easily visible before lifting her voice to the trees to call her for the Queen.
