Something wasn't right. It tugged on the gut of a mare colored in gold and charcoal. Twisting her ears slowly, the peak mare listened before her head jerked and ears slammed forward. The cry from down below had her full attention. When the sound of hooves followed, Bubbles knew it was time to move.

Pushing from where she stood into a lunging start, the buckskin blanket mare gritted her teeth. Pinning her ears, Bubbles worked through the tightness of her muscles. With each lunging stride, every hoof fall, and puffing breath, she fought her own body. It wasn't easy, but her cold starting frame soon enough had enough motion that she covered the ground steadily enough.

Heading lower, Bubbles passed the raving mare and foal. She didn't stop to make sure they were safe. Instead, she saw Ashteroth farther ahead. Pushing forward, the mare managed to catch up. Her thick frame spared her peak sister one glance. It said she was with Ashteroth the whole way. As her attention looked forward, Bubbles steadied herself and prepared for whatever could come. With the Peak stretching higher, she also knew one thing. The lagoon men would have to be one hell of an unstoppable force to beat through her and Ashteroth’s immovable wall.
