Today would be unusual more so than any other day. The Fire Queen, Divergent, Poisonhearted, and whatever title comes to mind, was back. She was home, and damnit... No one would be stopping her this time. There was no Africa at the borders to chase her away. There was no Gaucho to burn her ass, no Midas to choose Africa over Aurelia, and none of the slob that used to inhabit these lands. She took advantage of the unguarded borders and let herself in, declaring that she was an official member as she did so.
And then, she saw him.
The usually cold and chaotic Aurelia felt warm as she saw Ryuu, her progeny. He was here! She was relieved he was no longer with the foolish edge horses. There was a gleam of sadness that ran across her eyes as the small horse fell to it's side in tears and pain. Her baby had always had an ailment in his hooves. Aurelia trotted up to him, her form much taller than his young body sprawled out on the ground. He had grown so much. His frame had filled out, small hooves had widened and grown... and his mane-- it was long. He was a young stallion, not a foal. She wasn't sure how to react. Her body shivered furiously as tears welled to her eyes. She was an array of emotions, unsure of anything. Was this even real? Was she imagining it?
His body was dark, liked her son's. The markings matched with her son's, but was it him? How could she be sure? "R-Ryuu?" She said quietly between sobs. Could it truly be her son? Would she tell him? Did he remember her? So many questions floated in her mind, but there was one constant one: Who has taken care of my baby, and why have they abandoned him like this? Yes, the mare herself had abandoned him, but only because she knew her incompetency. She knows she's a horrible mother, this is why she left; vanished.
The desert was home, but now she questioned her choice in staying here. Was Faeanne here, also? Aurelia would not be able to handle seeing Faeanne, that was much harder. Faeanne most likely remembers her, remembers Aurelia leaving her with random strangers. Does Ryuu remember her leaving? Probably not, for she had always been absent. Was this her chance to make it up? She knew she could never be his mother again, for he probably doesn't trust her, but she want to at least be on his good side. Will Ryuu allow it? Was this even Ryuu? Why is she still crying?

Success isn't the result of spontaneous combustion.
