Differences make good sparks.
The first child had been the ultimate prize. Born from a dance between a monster and an equine, one willing to sacrifice herself for a greater good. Her own greater good that was. The boy – even as an adult he still is her boy – is her pride and most prized possession. Compared to him the girl was a disappointment. Not as weak and ungifted as Esileif had thought when she had left the girl in the Den, but the once magnificent woman, is now weak again, unable to protect herself. A failure.
And third time is a charm, don’t they say? But this time she won’t let things up to faith. Her boy is perfect, but the power hungry woman is not interested in raising a child on her own. This time the Den is not the destination, but instead she finds herself near the land of the warrior women. Boy or girl, they would shape her charm to perfection.
All she would have to do was to collect the child once time was there.
But first, of course, her charm has to see life. Not really the thing she’s looking forward to.

One tiny step in front of the other, that is how she crosses the border. All she knows is that she has to walk in this direction. Someone would find her and then everything would be alright. It’s like a tiny voice in the back of her mind, distant but there, if she only knew whose voice it was. Some trees dote the landscape around her and salt is in the air. It comes from the west, carried on a breeze, fine dust comes with it.
It sticks to her half wet coat, which is still damp from birth and dark as the night sky. With each step she takes further into the land, the darkness leaves the sky, dawn would soon be upon them. In that same darkness two figures hide, eyes watching the girl, but only to disappear before the sun would brighten up the lands.
Now further into the lands, the wind picks up too. The newborn girl is shivering, not yet able to keep herself warm, but it does not stop her from continuing. She’s determined to fulfil this small task, she simply has to. Ignore the weakness of her body, and keep going, until someone would help her figure out what’s next. Her shrill whinny is carried by the wind, hoping that someone will hear her.
