The yearling had simply flown that afternoon across a wide distance of the Crossing Isle. She had left her mother and older sister far, far behind in the Commons. Versace's golden eyes -- handed down to her by her father Diomedes -- had caught sight of the distant mountain peak to the north earlier that morning when dawn had first broken.
Her mother, Vogue, had placated her many times by promising they would go look at it together once they had sent Dior off on her own in the Commons. That hadn't been soon enough for the bold youngster, which was how she found herself a fair distance from the Falls all alone.
A part of her had assumed that her mother would be there not far behind. A good scolding was sure to come, but they were so much closer to the mountain now! Glee swept through the filly. Shortly after confusion did as well, for when she looked back across the Meadow to the southern Commons, there were no forms rushing to catch her.
The filly's darkly rimmed ears began to splay sideways. Versace was realizing that she was truly alone at that moment, and the thought dampened the teeming excitement that had stoked the frenzied run here. She stared back at the Meadow intently, still waiting for the bay painted mare to become visible, when the sound of a close voice made her flinch.
