Maybe winter wasn’t the best time to go looking for a home of her own but it felt like she had waited an eternity to leave the nest. At least, if it was a nest, the meadows and fields were her home with her Mother and the painted woman never did seem too keen on finding a permanent residence. Suit herself.
Ohio on the other hand decided she wanted a home, a place to belong and not merely wander aimlessly. She wanted her own grazing patches and her own mate and her own friends, her Mother’s friends tired her and all too often didn’t keep in touch. Suppose that’s the life of a meadow bum as they were called and the multi-colored young woman was tired to being that too. Meadow bum. That’s a terrible name, always sounded like a put down to her too. Well not anymore, no today, today she would step away from the shadow of her Dam. It wasn’t too hard, Mother didn’t discourage it but she didn’t act as though she really thought Ohio could do it either. Whatever the case they made their goodbyes and off the chimera colored girl went.
The field was sort of beautiful, even if it was covered in frost and the bitter wind snapped her mane and tail around like a whip. Nothing stayed the same over the course of the year and Ohio had learned to accept and love that. Things changed, they should change, just like herself. She wasn’t a little girl anymore, she was a woman, she had a mind of her own and she should put it to use. There was nothing to be had living a life of solitude and social awkwardness, so there she stood, waited.
Someone would be along of course, even in winter both herds and Kingdoms scoured the common ground and this time she would answer their calls. This time she would go with someone and make her place in the world.
