"Nana! Nanaaa! Where are you!?" The 3 years old buckskin mare sounded terrified. Nana had been the one who had raised her, and she was always there, through good and bad. It couldn't be that she lost her now! After looking for three long, scaring hours, it became dark. Kirei sighed, and layed down. The tears streamed down her face as she wondered whether this is where they go two different paths. She laid lonely, in the dark, dangerous woods. Kirei lived on her own for three other lonely years. The thing about her past which Nana had held secret for her, was the sacrifice Nana made just to take care of her. When Nana found Kirei, all alone, Kirei's mother was Nana's sister. She broke up all contact between her and her sister, and took care of the abandond foal. Never seeing her sister broke her at first, but her thoughts helped her. 'A mare who abandons her foal isn't my sister anyway.' The reason Nana held this a secret to Kirei, was that if Kirei knew Nana's name and that her original mother was Nana's sister, she'd know exactly who it is. And she may never know, because the her mothers stallion won't go exactly easy on her.. This is why Nana had to walk away from her, broken-hearted.
Kirei woke up, all shaky and sweaty. She sighed, another nightmare about Nana. She really has to find out why and who. Shaking it off for now, she stood up and went to get a little drink from the beautiful waterfall.
