It never should have taken this long to seek her out. I mean she could have come to him too, but she never did. He had assumed the child didn't make it or maybe nothing had even happened. It has been a year with no word. The large stallion makes his way across the border from the Forest to the Prairie. He didn't make it far before he learned someone new had taken over.

The surrounding scent was different though a few of the same scents remained. It was clear that Zevulun was no longer here just like Toland and his family. He wonders if they had left together. With new leadership Dagda makes a mental note not to travel too far into the territory. He stops and begins to send out a series of calls for the mare he was seeking.

"Vernonia!" He shouts as his auburn eyes scan the area. No one cames at the first call so he calls out again. It was likely she had left with her family. Maybe a newcomer had chased them out? No, he would rather think yhat theu had left together with their friends from the Forest. Maybe his child was playing with aunt Grizel right now. "Vernonia?" He questions when he hears hoof steps nearby with his head turning towards the sound.
