“Rexanna, she’s had twins. Your twins.”

Alysanne’s words echoed in his head. Over and over, driving his legs to bite hard and deeper into the heat-dried soil. His Tallsun-slicked hide was black with seat as his pounding rhythm carried him closer and closer to the North. Twins. He was a father, twice over, again. And his child were with Rexanna, the siren to his soul. The woman who graced his heart with quiet strength to beat away his demons. Without her, he had succumbed to them. But now—now they had twins. “A boy and a girl.” A grin flashed across his muzzle, while his nostrils flared and roared to pull deep breaths into his great lungs. The charge of an elephant was a great thing, indeed, but it required so much oxygen.

“She’s had a hard birth.”

As he galloped towards his lover and their children, other parts of Alysanne’s words began to trickle through his elation. It crowded out the joy as concern began to quicken and lengthen his strides. Why had she had a hard birth? Were both of the twins okay? What did they look like? Why hadn’t he been there to help, to see?

And these thoughts took his mind almost entirely into darkness, his earth-shaking gallop slowing to a pounding canter as his head rose and ears perked. His breath still came in roars as he passed through the bottle-necked entrance of the Basin (known only by description by other herdmates). He passed by defunct heaps of rusting metal, sharp navy eyes sweeping over them as he turned his eyes to the mountains—mountains that were much larger and grander than the plateaus.

Why hadn’t he been there? Why hadn’t she come to him? She should know his devotion to children, his love of her, and his attachment to any children they might have. Why hadn’t she come to the Edge like she’d promised? So it was with clouded eyes that he loosened a distressed, trumpeting roar, “Rexanna!” His hooves never stopped their ceaseless beat.
