Eiria had seen her sire upset before, but never like that. The day that the rival stallion, Chemdog, who had once lived in the Frontiers, stole Morigan from the herd, along with the unborn foal, or foals, within her belly. Archam had gone off in search of more mares following that, leaving Eiria's dam, Anahi, to watch over the remaining members of the herd, which were quite limited at the time.
Now, with Devnot, and some new arrival, Varnish, he was starting to get that herd back. He also had his twin colts, Andras and Francois, Sirana and Nerius, Eiria's siblings, and his lead mare, Anahi. All in all, he had a stable herd back, but not enough mares apparently.
Even if Eiria couldn't help him win some mares, the least she could do was check on his foal with Morigan. So, after Archam had gone out on another journey to look after his kingdom and more mares, the yearling had snuck off with her older sister, Sirana, to go check on Archam's foal within Chemdog's land.
The two had been quietly walking through the territory, keeping a careful eye out for the stallion. At first, they'd seen nothing, until Sirana had spotted a pintaloosa mare galloping across the meadow grass toward a tall mountain in the distance. The sisters had followed, eyes widening when they spotted a cave.
Eiria glanced at Sirana before she took a couple steps closer. Luckily, she was still out of ear, and eye, shot when the pintaloosa mare had come racing back out of the cave. Once she was gone, Eiria poked her head in, curious as to what had happened that caused the mare such distress.
Inside, she spotted the stallion, along with a mare she didn't know, two fillies, and a body. She assumed the fillies to be Archam's, given once she took another look at the body, she recognized the form of Morigan. Her heart nearly stopped when it came to her that one of her sire's favorite mares had passed away, leaving her two fillies among this world.
For right now, given their age, there didn't seem to be a lot the sisters could do. Still, Eiria would ask. She turned to look at Sirana, a worried expression in her eye.
"What should we do?" she whispered.
