A thick, heavy sigh unclasped itself from Allegria's throat in the aftermath of her silent sobs. Though drained, Allegria felt her heart lighten in the aftermath of her sorrow. Sometimes all one needed to do was acknowledge their grief in order to push through. Besides, it simply wasn't healthy to always pretend everything was ok.
Slowly determination, and hope with it, began to blossom once again in her breast. This new place would certainly hold many new terrors and challenges. Though she didn't want to face them alone, if she had to she would. She supposed one day this would have come to pass anyway. If her father hadn't been consumed by fire, he would have eventually wanted to settle down just as Allegria was aching to explore. Thinking of her father brought a sad smile to her face. If he could only have seen how much she had grown...
The soft warning hoot of an owl caused Allegria's harks to perk up warily. Her head raised itself from the ground to watch the approach of a young filly. Allegria smiled encouragingly at the yearling, dashing the last remainders of her tears. Quiet, tentative words tumbled from the filly's lips as if she was afraid of waking someone up. The thought nearly brought tears back to Allegria's eyes, though this time with happiness. She wasn't alone!
A few slow steps closed the distance between the two of them and Allegria stretched her nares out in greeting. "I am grateful for your concern Lamb," A small, warm smile curved her lips as she spoke only loud enough for the filly to hear, "I'm just not used to traveling by myself yet... the loneliness overwhelmed me for a moment."
In company for first time in a while, Allegria near beamed with yearning. She wanted nothing more than to make friends with this young filly despite the distance in their age. Indeed, she quite nearly forgot simple social conventions such as the importance of introducing herself! "Oh!" The soft exclamation escaped her, "My name is Allegria."
