Spring was one of her least favorite seasons, and so were breeding seasons. Breeding season was her grandmother's favorite season. Her grandmother would walk off and come back later pregnant after breeding with a random stallion she came across.
Her grandmother's reputation was all over the island, and it started to affect Night. Night had no friends to turn to, her brother didn't care. Too bad her parents were dead and couldn't help her. When her grandmother died, she slightly felt that some weight was taken off of her.
But her mother's reputation was growing too, and she was given funny looks and some gossip was going on. Before things were getting worse, she decided to leave the island. She told her lead stallion and the black overo horse warned her that she might not ever return. She started hearing rumors about him. That he was looking for a surrogate to produce an heir to the herd, and she got a bad feeling about that. She could've asked him if those rumors were true, but she didn't want to make him angry. Night wasn't good at dealing with angry horses, and she was already dealing with pressure from her late mom and grandmother.
So she left the island with no regrets and ended up in this new place. She thought she would be safe here, no one would recognize her and give her funny looks. And here she was, lost and clueless about where she was. Did she care? Nope. She walked along the beach for a few hours to scout, and then she stopped. She saw a figure ahead of her. Furthermore, she was nervous and excited, who was this stranger that she spotted? Friend or foe? She'll have to find out. She nickered at the figure, trying to get their attention.
