She was shocked to return home and find yet another stranger has claimed Paradise. This makes six leader changes since she has lived here. Sure. She wasn't exactly a spring baby anymore, but no one has held Paradise for long after Rougaru's rule. The mare assumes that one day one of Rougaru's kin would come claim this place in his honor. That would mark her time to leave, but for now she needed to find out who these strangers were.

Bathsheba could easily rejoin her daughter in the Shore, but she feared the stallion that held her claim over her child's head. Not only did he sound strange and dangerous from Eeva's stories, but he was a son of Rougaru. The mare winches as pain streaks across her belly. The journey to Tinuvel had been a long one. It left her unborn baby restless and her exhausted. Thankfully, it was not time for the baby to be born.

The mare should have just enough time to gauge this new pair before giving birth. If she had any indication that they would bring her baby harm, she would leave. At least long enough to birth her child in safety if that becomes the only option. She knew coming back here with new owners was already risky. Darn familiarity! The smokey mare hangs around the entrance to the jungle waiting for someone to find her or her to find them first. If fate would have it. She would spy on them from a distance before meeting them. She just needed to find the owners to the two new smells surrounding Paradise.
