As soon as the sun rises, Tähti is out to test her wings again. She climbs the mountain’s least steep sides by hoof, stretches them, and glides down, then repeats. It is almost summer now, so her body is almost 6 months old and she is determined to fly before fall.
After all, to her that must have been the worst consequence of dying last winter.
A little star, what her mother called her, but against the grey mountains and yellowish grass she is a speck of darkness instead of light. It doesn’t matter; she will be light grey again to compliment her name once more. So far, she is eager to prove that she is just as useful in the body of a small child than as she would be, had she been able to grow to her true age - 2,5 by now. And so, she repeats her cycle once more, to strenghten her wing muscle. Because she had learned in Nerine how to use those better than anywhere else; for battle, to take advantage of height, but also to trust in her sisters-in-arms. Currentl that came down to Kagerus mostly.
After a while she catches a scent she does not recognize. Excited, she trots in the direction of the approaching horse. Borders have meaning, meaning it is someone’s home they enter, and it’s not appropriate not to call out when one comes across the border. Unless they live here; Solace and mother would have recruited more horses for Hyaline while she was away, she assumes. So perhaps it is someone who belongs to her kingdom without having met them.
All the more reason to go.
She whinnies; the sound echos, but it is clear that it belongs to someone young. Ugh. Well, she’s just got to make do with what she has right now. Nothing to do about it right away. Let’s just hope the new someone likes a good story.
has always been within
