It seemed like most of Murtagh’s time was spent waiting for the compass to move to tell him that someone needed his help, or being on patrol to see if he could find someone on his own. There had to be more people on Helovia that needed his help! And if there weren’t, did that mean that he’d never find his bear cub? And let down the Earth God? If he did let down that god would he have to leave the Falls? Would his mothers come with him if he did?

Not often did the young colt feel so exasperated, it was practically a new feeling for him, but as he laid sprawled out in a pile of leaves with his Papa’s grizzly bear companion, these fears settled on him. His lavender eyes brimmed with tears at the thought of failure and he buried his head into the soft, decaying leaves and let the reassuring scents of the earth comfort him. That and, of course, the familiar presence of the bear breathing nearby.

Because of the tears, it took him a moment to realize that the compass he had was pointing somewhere!. “Mama!” Murtagh quickly scrambled to his feet, all feelings of despair instantly evaporating, and hurried the bear along with him.

This time, the compass took him farther north - more north than he had ever been before! It was exciting, finding a new land, always with Eytan, his mama, nearby. Murtagh was so excited at the prospect of having someone else to help that he barely even looked around as they travelled - focusing only on the compass and making sure that they were following the direction it spoke of. He would have to rely on the grizzly to get him back home afterwards though. He had noticed that the compass was all too willing to lead him somewhere but when he needed to go back to the Falls it did not point the way.

It soon became clear that his compass was taking him toward a pair of winged horses, a grown-up and a filly maybe a little bit older than himself. With a whoop the colt quickly closed the gap between them and he stopped himself from dancing (too much) as he came to a halt. “Hello! I’m Murtagh, you guys need some help?!”
