The change of season was full-swing, and young Akulu was pumped full of hormones; as was every other mare in the Bay. All of them were cranky, and her siblings (especially her brothers!) were rubbing the young mare the wrong way. She had to get out of there -- she needed to clear her head, or else she might lose her mind and bring about more trouble than necessary to the shoreline of her home.
Instead, Âkulu finds herself on the common island. She wasn’t experienced enough to know that the season made it a dangerous region to be in. With rogue stallions and bachelors running rampant, young mares like Akulu usually found themselves in perilous situations.
However, the Falls were deceptively calm and cool, with the moisture that hung about the opening. But that was not the most engaging thing for Akulu. Nay; it was the familiar form of Raegar. She knows him immediately. He had asked her to come to the Badlands with him when they were younger. Which had been charming and amusing, now that she thinks about it; she had been so young, but so had he. He seemed much hardier now, much more rugged… Which Akulu found to be more attractive.
And so she would have pressed across the open to meet the stallion at the waterline. She would give pause a respectable distance away and nickered in greeting. “ Well hello, you. It’s been a while. “ she replies, pondering if the stallion would remember her, as she remembered him.
