[Nashua]

stars when you shine, you know how i feel
oh freedom is mine

Regrowing the Isle was proving to be a slow process.

The island had burned before Nashua had been born. By the time he had been old enough to learn the tale and the names of the dragons that had battled over it, there had been more immediate things (like the disappearance of his sire and the theft of his mother, protecting Yan and chasing after Celina) for young Nash to worry about. It had been Leilan who had told him the story as he led the young colt back to Taiga during one of his early 'adventures' and it was through Leilan that Nashua had come to learn about the others dragons that roosted in Beqanna - Castile, the roan Freyr had explained, and Ruinam.

(Castile had vanished some time ago. And there was little to know of Ruinam from the Northerners. What the chestnut pegasus did know was learned from his half-brother, Gale.)

Nashua was thinking about the forest and so his thoughts drifted back to Taiga. His twin had recently spoken of a mare there that could bring plants back to life. Her gift had been crucial in restoring some of the flora of his homeland and the chestnut pegasus has started to think that she might be able to help here, too. (He also has more than one reason to visit the northern forest and this simply adds to his growing impatience to be heading towards the mainland.) But the newly appointed Hersir finds a responsibility waiting for him before he takes flight.

"Greetings!" the striped stallion calls out as he breaks his gait to a trot. The gray has a hanging head and as Nashua comes to a stop before him, he offers a good-natured smile in an attempt to lift it. Visitors were unusual for the Isle and while the presence of an unknown horse could be taken as a threat in other parts of the North (especially Nerine), the newcomer is merely a curiosity to the Hersir for now. If he proves to be anything else, well, Nash has his experience from the Alliance and the newfound ability to disappear to aid him. "What brings you to the Isle?" The pegasus flashes a grin that sparks in his green eyes, "besides our lovely weather this time of year." He wraps his dark wings closer in an attempt to keep the fierce winter cold off his skin.
