He followed them right at the last moment. Bodies of fellow Throat members vacating the herd, it felt lonely on the island then. Torn between wanting to explore the destination ahead, what drew them, and staring out into the distance hoping his mother would come soon. With brows furrowed, and with young, untested wings – he ran fast and hard ahead without thinking it all through. And with the fear that swirled in his gut, he finally leapt off the island, aiming for the mainland.

Saoirse would never admit he was afraid of heights, but he was, and he struggled making his way to Helovia. Touching down as soon as he could, out of breath, without tested stamina to keep the youth afloat.

Oh well. He ground out in his head.

The journey was filled with spurts of flight, mostly walking. Until he found what had caught everyone’s attention. His bright eyes lit up, head tilting, as he saw various trinkets, dead things, strange… things – hanging off the tree. And a large, obnoxious turtle residing beside it.

The boy laughed, amused. But by then the creature began to speak, and enchanted, the boy listened with great enthusiasm. The best part – he thought – was the turtle’s voice. It’s heavy, deep reverberation that rattled his heart and soothed his nerves. With a soft breath he sighed a small, brief puff of air. And entered the crowds out of pure curiosity alone.

There he saw many, his small form slithering between the bodies and families; trinkets and things sprawled out from the massive tree’s roots. Mostly everyone was smiling, and for a moment Saoirse wondered if they really had a reason to smile in the first place. Other than the magic that seemed to coarse through the glowing branches, the illusions that danced about the turtle’s back.

And there he was, the same old, craggy stallion. Perhaps less stranger than his herd members. Which, perhaps he might consider them family. But the boy knew so little of its inhabitants, and so many had siblings already that – there seemed to be little use for Saoirse at the moment.

The thought wavered and passed like a cool swig of air. With a subdued smile he approached the black from behind and slightly to their left side. Having missed the moment that they’d stepped back to find some sort of trinket – the boy followed their gaze, the moment he made to stand beside him.

“Hey old man. What are you looking for?”

There was something comical about the stallion. The way he seemed to be quickly glancing about, when the air was filled with joy and wonder. Saoirse could hardly keep the quiet, careless laugh from rolling out.
