The time has come to think of the future. The future of the Inlet and the few members of her herd. There has been many times she has thought about running to daddy and crying on his shoulder. Telling him how many horses have tried to take her home from her or take her lover's. Once she had ran to tell father what had happened, but that was the day the wolves surrounded her. She has not been back to the Cove since.

"Who am I going to meet again?" Nico, her calico little brother, asks as they walk from one side of the Inlet to the other. "His name is Loupgaru. He is a very confident and powerful stallion." She grins thinking about her handsome painted lover. "If you want to show dad and become a leader one day he can help you. Trust me, Loup will toughen you up." Parvati bumps her brother's shoulder with a giggle. Honestly, she has been thinking about how Loup leaped to her aide a few weeks ago. He deserved some sort of reward.

Nico's eyes roll. His sister was always more bubbly than he was. Not to say he didn't know how to have fun, but childhood mischief was different than adulthood fun. He didn't know want the adults did for fun or what he should expect if he ever became the lead of his own herd one day. Watching father he guesses the only fun he had was playing with each new foal he had. "Loup!" Parvati begins calling for Loupgaru as they reach the edge of the woods. "My dear Loup de Loup where are you?" She giggles to herself at the nickname. Hopefully he wouldn't mind her pet names.
