Sirana couldn't hide her excitement either as Crota encouraged both the golden mare and the stallion to follow after back to her kingdom, a notion Sirana was all too eager to follow. Glancing at Fox and motioning for him to come, hoping he would, Sirana trotted to catch up to the spotted mare.
The journey was mostly made in silence, save for a couple rounds of witty banter or pleasant conversation. Sirana wasn't the funniest horse, but it was clear she had inherited a small sense of humor from her parents when she occasionally cracked jokes as the horses hiked through the various terrain patches that made up the path to the Hills. Sirana was careful with each step, knowing she couldn't afford to be injured and left out here. She knew that no horse in the Sylva kingdom would abandon her, especially not her dam and sister, but that didn't mean she openly trusted other horses.
Not since her sire gave her away to a rival stallion, that same stallion trading his herd away not even a full half-year to another that Sirana quickly grew to dislike for his highhoofedness and pompous attitude that the mares in his herd should love him as a leader or a lover. Neither sounded appealing to Sirana, which is why she'd gotten away the first chance she got. And now, she was seeking a new home, hoping it wouldn't turn out as it had gone last time.
Though Sirana was young and fit, the hike also took a lot out of her considering it was her first time in a while scaling terrain like this. After the Reckoning and Njenyi's herd settled, she wasn't allowed to go very far from the others, meaning she couldn't go to explore and get a lay of the land. This put her at a disadvantage when it came to investigating new places, unfamiliar with the terrain challenges until she met them head on. Scaling through hills like this on the way to the Hills kingdom itself wasn't the biggest challenge, but hard on her legs after so many days of grazing on even ground.
Finally, after what seemed like forever to some, the horses arrived at the Hills territory, the golden mare's eyes widening at seeing the splendor of the land stretching out before her. Crota introduced the land to the golden mare, asking if she wished to enter and go exploring. Sirana had only one answer, to which she look at Crota and just barely restrained herself from exclaiming in an excited tone,
"Yes please. I'd love to see what this place looks like!"
