Common

"Momma," a soft voice stage-whispered into her ear, forcing it to twitch from the sheer proximity of the filly's voice. Hymn's warm amber gaze cracked only slightly, eyes squinty against the early morning sun, and peered into the face of her darling daughter with latent confusion. At evidence of her mother's waking, Promise beamed and bumped her muzzle against her dam's cheek, having already been awake for an eternity on her own. "Momma it's today."

And was indeed, today. The day that Hymn had promised her little girl that they would go together to find themselves a new home to call their own.

The same dull ache that had plagued Hymn since she had realized that history was repeating itself throbbed in her chest but she fitted a smile to her lips and rose to her feet. If it were only herself, she might have lost herself to the grief of being abandoned for a second time, but Promise existed, and she would not abandon her.

"Yes it is," she murmured, tucking the excited girl to her side for a drink before peering toward the Commons. They had left Paradise together under the cover of nightfall when the new leader's scent had permeated the borders and had spent the hours of darkness on the shore of the Meadow, resting and gathering strength. She had managed to stall the girl for an extra day, but Promise refused to be deterred a second time.

"Remember what we talked about?" She quizzed her daughter, playing with the wispy strands of her mane once their meal was finished. "Yes!" The almost-weanling answered brightly, her eyes already eagerly sweeping across the land border. "I gots to be on my best behavior." Hymn hummed affirmatively in response. "And what else?" A comical expression of thought clouded the girl's face before she remembered and eagerly peered up at her dam, her tail flicking quickly back and forth. "And I have to stay close to you!"

Hymn nodded, her brow still furrowed as she looked out at the Crossing. They could have stayed on Atlantis, but if she were honest with herself? The last thing Hymn wanted to do was to stay on the island she'd been abandoned on twice now. "And what do you do if we get separated?" Worry flickered in the filly's eyes and she bumped her dam's shoulder with her muzzle again as if to reassure them both. "I have to run north, to the Peak and tell them what happened. One of the Peak ladies will help me."

"Good job, little love. I think you're ready" Hymn murmured to her daughter, and the pair then began to wind their way into the Commons, hoping for a fresh start for the both of them.

OOC: She is a Solomon daughter but does not know her siblings so would be fine being in the same herd as one of her sisters.
