It did not take long for Vinati to locate her mother. Try as she might to gain her independence, to act like she was more than just a child, she was mere weeks old, and Sohalia was never far away.

As though perhaps she, too, was one of thoseimaginary friends that everyone kept assuming that Vinati had. "Maaii," Vinati whined then, turning her gaze back to her mother, who shushed her gently.

Once their company seemed settled, she huffed demandingly and said, "Mai, there are pegasi around you. I want to know who they are."
