this old world has brought me pain
but there's hope for me again
but there's hope for me again
I am growing braver.
It happens in baby steps, little moments that I realize would not be happening had I remained alone in the Halcyon Flats. I cannot even bring myself to fear Archibald anymore, for in my misguided imprisonment, I have found a form of salvation. I have a home. I have a herd. They are not family, not yet, but the hope that they could be is there. I look to the future and I see light rather than an endless tunnel of darkness.
I suppose it is my newfound peace that drives me, somehow, to leave the Hidden Falls and wander through Helovia. I do not travel far - no, I have only found myself a short distance east of my home - but it is far enough that I have come across an area that I have not seen before. The shift from the hills that hide the Falls is subtle, so much so that I barely notice anything has changed. Then, almost suddenly, I look around and see a forest stretching as far as the eye can see. No more hills, no more crash of water in the background - I have arrived in the Threshold.
And, it would seem, I am not alone.
I have come across a pegasus mare in my wanderings. She is covered in a ragged coat of grey, starkly contrasting my own smooth, multicolored pelt. She belongs to the north; it is obvious, for even in Birdsong she wears layers of winter. I hesitate, but my newfound courage prevails; I step forward, calling a soft greeting. "Hello," I say, a small smile on my lips. "Are you new to Helovia?"
