She was no stranger to the old memories the Inlet held for her. Tinuvel was never her chosen home (as she told Zurok often), but it was the place her family was from. She thinks her mother was born in the Inlet under their family rule way back when Warsaw owned it. Now it was owned by Solomon's family unknown to her that Nicodemus was also a distant Warsaw relative. All she knew for sure was the haunting memories of her parents chasing each other all over this part of the island.
Zurok gathers his mares and his young and explains the recent changes of the Bay. Galexia kept her to her own in the herd so she didn't really know anyone else or care to know what was going on. Zurok was the only reason she was here and the only reason she would be moving from the Bay to the Inlet. If it wasn't for his choice to stay near Tinuvel she would not be here. Atlantis had always been her choice for a home. Maybe even her birth place of Paradise that once held the other side of her family. She had no idea who held it now.
The older mare nods at Zurok's words and reaches down to nibble at their daughter's mane. Celestrial was growing big. Soon she might have a life of her own away from here. Galexia had never dreamed of bringing another child into the world after how poorly things had gone with Stella Maris. She only hoped having Zurok as her father changed her parenting skills. He seemed to be a dotting father.
Galexia follows Zurok to the Inlet keeping their daughter close. "Are you sure you don't want to ask Fell's son for a position?" She asks boldly as they reach their destination. Zurok calls for Parvati (a mare she has seen Zurok seek out a couple times before) as she stares at the back of his head. Maybe it was too awkward for him to live under the stallion he just defeated in battle for his position as second under Fell.
