The pair had embarked on their first patrol earlier that day with both being quite eager to watch the rising of the sun from the dunes of their new home. It was a strange sensation for them to feel so secure upon waking but it was not a foreign emotion because they had lived a comfortable life before- in the Edge. As the morning sun peeked above the horizon, Romul lifted a wolven tune to the heavens in order to greet the new day. It carried through the treetops and out along the frozen meadows before dying somewhere off in the distance. He whimpered and rumbled at his companion's hooves, more than ready to begin their daily routine as they’d done many times before. Essetia smiled knowingly down at the impatient wolf before trilling at him in beautifully high-pitched song, a sign that Romul had come to know all too well. With the chilled wind howling at their backs the pair loped away into the hazy morning light toward the outer borders of the Falls.

When the cold had torn the very air from their lungs, the young duo slowed along their southern borders with their sides heaving from exertion. Such beauty Romul whispered to his attentive partner. Essetia nodded in agreement but did little else to acknowledge her companion for her mind had traveled elsewhere. However, the canine was comfortable to leave the mare to her silence and instead wandered away to scout the path ahead for signs of disruption. As effective as the patrols were meant to be in defending the falls from intruders and various other interruptions, Essetia believed it was the only way a warrior would be able to empty their mind in between training sessions and idle waiting. She pondered what it would feel like when she was called to action or when war breached their walls as it had all those years ago upon the dunes of the foothills.

Essetia had not yet been old enough to understand the ramifications of battle and warfare when the invasion took place, but she had been wise enough know that it involved death. The stiff word hung loosely from her lips even now as she meandered further into the southern reaches of her home, still sifting through words and phrases she'd heard long ago. She feared death and she feared the idea of preparing for battle but it was her steadfast determination that kept her moving; she was not a creature that often ran from her troubles. Of course, it was not a way of thinking that she had adopted as a youth… it had come from her time spent away from Helovia in the wild north. But now it was time to test that resolve in hopes of discovering a part of herself that she had not recognized before and the Hidden Falls was going to help her do it.
