NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER.

Flicking pale blue eyes over the tall mountain peaks, Snapdragon felt her heart flutter in her chest as she looked down to her daughter. The young Bubbles was one this spring, the young filly having grown past her injuries and mental scars. The buckskin blanket filly was off playing with the wild animals she had found to be company and it made her heart shatter to know she had birthed said child in the safety of Paradise and then had moved here where she had been brutally mauled by the black stallion in the Lagoon. Snapdragon no longer held resentment and blood lust for that beast, but she no longer held any hope for the horses here in these silent cliffs.


Heaving a breath, the pale cream and white mare turned to look out over the crossing island from where she stood. With spring here and livening up many other territories, the mare felt the winter's chill upon her coat from the snow capped mountains and the snow dusted winds that came roaring through the jagged rocks. She should be happy and content to live here, to have a home where she could grow, but the longer she stayed in these silent rocks, the more she realized she no longer wanted to be here.


Once upon a time Snapdragon had a purpose, but now as she stood there on the Peaks edge, the pale mare felt nothing. There was no purpose to her dull eyes as her head lowered from where it had been held and hung limply at her knees. She had not even thought of her next steps, but hearing her daughter laugh over the territory made her wonder if Bubbles would do best with other children to play with and make friends. She would speak with Finley about that later, but for the moment she found herself allowing her mind to wander as her eyes closed against the winds.
