Well healed from the invasion, in both body and mind, Kahlua had been peacefully wandering the lands of the Edge. Naturally, her steps took her to the cliffs overlooking the waters below. The scent of the saltwater rushing up the rock face to her nostrils was always pleasant and the rhythmic sloshing of the waves against the sand always put her at ease. She was naturally a care-free soul, but the troubles of the world had affected her rather thoroughly since her arrival here. For months upon months the land had been bathed in darkness. Two seasons worth of little food at no sun would trouble anyone's soul. As she walked, she kept a healthy distance from the edge of the cliff. She was no acrobat and was not inclined to dare-devilish stunts; however, today she would be forced closer to the cutoff between earth and sky. The scent of a stallion caught her attention. While she normally did not put much thought into the scents of those she wandered in to, this stallion in particular caught her interest. He was of the same origin as the attackers- of this she was certain. Immediately her ears fell back up on her head and she trotted towards the ledge only to see the stallion standing below. “NO!” Her normally dancing tones broke from her mouth in a harsh and frenzied bark. She immediately made for a path that would take her from the top of the cliff to the sands below. “Didn't we send you herd away once? Leave us!” She tried to sound authoritative but there was a shrillness to her voice that betrayed some fear. As her hooves touched down on the sands she noticed the mare laying in the waters near-by, although her attention almost entirely on the stallion. The lolling mare, interestingly, did not smell of the Basin. Blue eyes bored into the stallion as she took on a guarded stance and stared him down, hoping in her heart of hearts that one of her herd-mates would come upon them soon. She was not made for battle and the stallion had a war-hardened look that did nothing for her resolve. |
