She had dreamt of home last night.Not the home where she had grown up as a young foal. No, not that home. She had dreamt of her other home. The home she had once thought to be nothing but a prison and then became the place where her heart belonged. As much as she missed the home of her foalhood, it could never compare to the aching in her heart from the loss of her first and only love.
Shake it off, girl, and move along, Fiachra told herself. She loosed a head sigh and looked around her. Tall, dark groves of trees surrounded her. Only the narrow path she stood on gave her any real direction of travel. Her hooves were weary from the hike and she longed for a rest from the road, but she knew she could not stop yet. She was, after all, in unknown territory. She knew not who, or what, dwelled in these lands. Here on this dark path, she was vulnerable, and she wasn't about to fail her quest now because she'd been attacked by a bear or... something.
With an snort and a shake of her long head, she sped her pace and forged forward at a quick trot. She did not like this forest much. Unlike the bright and airy oak woods of her youth, these trees were thick with undergrowth that made it more difficult to venture off the trail than she was accustomed to and the elevation made her feel like she was being squeezed into a trap.
At last, the wood seemed to open up a little and Fiachra allowed herself to relax the smallest amount. She slowed herself to an easy walk and lowered her muzzle to the ground to see what she could smell. Many new and interesting scents assaulted her nostrils and she huffed out to clear her senses.
A tingle ran down her topline and her head snapped up, once again hyper-aware of her surroundings. She looked around cautiously, ready to flea or even fight if need be. Despite her wariness, however, her heart fluttered hopefully. People? Could there be other equines in this land? Friendly equines?
"Hello?" she called into the trees, eyes narrowed for signs of movement. "Is anyone out there?"
