GUIDELINES - the Prairie stands as a symbol of peace and prosperity among the islands - anyone is welcome to live here so long as they do not bring harm to the Prairie or any of it's residents - adventure and exploration is not only allowed, but encouraged! residents are asked to use their better judgement and not travel to places that could bring them harm - the head of the prairie has final say in all prairie matters. the secondary and third positions are not able to be challenged for and are selected by the head - the guardians take on a more active role in the prairie; they must protect the inhabitants of the prairie and go on patrols of the prairie borderlines and shore. they can welcome strangers to the prairie and invite anyone to live here, though they must inform one of the leaders of any newcomers or visitors

Eirena cannot believe herself. She paddles along behind the pale stallion, refusing to meet his gaze each time he turns to check on her. He had been the first stallion she had let touch her since she had lost her beloved and their children. She still remembers the touch of his dark muzzle on her own and the coarse chuckle of his voice as they talked in the night. She remembers the scream when he had been ripped away from her by the raging currents that plagued their once-peaceful valley home. And she remembers finding him later. Finding them all later.

The sun shines down on her, illuminating her mistakes in a bright light. This new stallion was bright and gold where her love had been dark as night. They could not have been more different; she hoped that would make it easier. The guilt that plagued her now was almost suffocating. For the briefest of moments she considered simply letting the sea take her so she might see them again, if only for a moment.

Luthien comes into view and the ground appears beneath her churning legs. They had arrived. Eirena supposed it was too late to flee now. There is hesitance in her steps as she picks her way through the shallows. Her ocean-drenched mane sticks to her neck and frames the sharp angles of her proud face. Her hummingbird heart thrums in her chest as she steps from the water. She does not dare shake the water from her coat. The feeling of water reminds me of what she had lost and she hangs on to every memory she can.

Even the bad ones.

Hesitantly she raises her pale-green gaze to the sky, peering in the distance. No mountains, no ridges, no heights to trap them like the valley. The area seems almost entirely flat and she lets go of a breath she had not realizing she was holding. No more stalling. Eirena slowly turns her head to look upon Zevulun. Her voice catches as she meets his gaze. His eyes, so blue, like for a moment she was staring into his eyes. Eirena's brow creases and her ears press forward out of instinct. Shaking herself from these thoughts she smiles. It is kind, genuine, but it does not reach her eyes that swim with sadness. "It is beautiful Zevulun, thank you for bringing me."

She cannot stand to stare at him a moment longer and tears her gaze from him, refocusing on a random point beyond him. She can still see the cream coated stallion from the corner of her eye despite it. She remains silent, the only sound is the water dripping from her mane and tail, and her shuddering breath.
