With a few new injuries scattering her hide, the white raven had come to the Secret Grove with the intention of bathing her new cuts in the lake. The spar she had just participated in had been brutal, but Arah was pleased with her effort. After all she was ready to go home, the ivory doe found herself rather homesick. Home was calling and Arah was realy to respond to the call.

Moving slowly towards the water the white doe heard a voice, cocking her head to the side the Impersonator believed that she had heard the voice before. moving further along Arah spotted Arlo and grinned. Apart from being a little more battered than usual, Arah was feeling rather happy today. Seeing a new friend made the entire situation much better, apart from being beaten up by another equine. "Arlo!" Called Arah happily, moving towards the stag, the ivory mare wanted to see what the stallion was looking at…or rather who he was talking to. She must have called a little too softly because the equine soon padded out into the lake. Arah wasted no time, she trotted forward too see what was going on. The situation became much more interesting as another colt padded out into the water to join Arlo. What was happening? Her movements were elegant and quick, the beauty moved with excitement and an inquisitive nature. "What is he up too?" Muttered the mare.

Finally she stopped on the shore, together they were working at pulling an egg back to shore. "It's beautiful!" Arah whispered, she too was enchanted by the very outline of the egg. Grinning at both of the males then looking back over the egg, Arah immediately wanted to help. It was a sweet little thing resting on the lily pad, "I'll come help you gentlemen, just stay calm and don't rush." Moving off to the side, so the ripples created by her entering the water would not reach the egg, she entered the water. Her movements were slow and cautious, gently she began to move so she could position herself behind the egg. Half the problem was the fact that the egg rested on such an unstable surface, worried the the egg could fall if she added too much movement to the water, the impersonator moved slowly. Each step would create ripples on the water's surface, Arah would wait a few seconds for the movements to settle before taking a few more steps. The other two had already reached the egg however the impersonator was in no rush. Everything had to be done carefully.

Arah's plan was; while Arlo gently guided them forward, Arah would be able to stop the egg from falling backward off of the lily pad, by placing her nose and mouth on the egg's surface. Basically she would act as a back rest. Should the egg fall to the side, with the other male's wing ready to catch the egg Arah was confident it would reach the shore. They just needed to work together as a team, together they would save this egg. "We can do it….we can do it…." Her voice was quiet the white does was more focussed on being careful in her movements.

The other male asked what it might be, Arah who was still carefully navigating the water thought about it. "I think it's something magical, the egg is so enchanting after all." Falling silent Arah focused on what she had to do, causing ripples that bumped the lily pad at a time like this could be disastrous.
