She woke to a strange land.
The entire place was shrouded in fog, and Mori shivered, unused to the cold. Rising to a standing position, her hooves shifted through a thick layer of lifeless leaves and scattered branches. Her white coat stood out like a ghost among the redwoods, making her as obvious as could possibly be. Slowly, she picked her way to a massive redwood wider than she was long and so tall she thought it could pierce the clouds and sky and keep going even beyond that, where she proceeded to collapse, mind whirling. How had she gotten here? She'd been at home, sleeping, just hours ago.
This wasn't home.
A tendril of fury curled in her chest. How dare whoever was responsible take her away from her home?! She screamed her defiance at the redwoods in a wordless whinny, holding it as long as she could. But the sound was soon gone, and with it her anger, leaving behind only a hopeless feeling. She didn't want to stay here. She didn't want this strange world, covered in mist and silent redwoods. Anger, Mori decided, was a far better feeling than this. But try as she might, she couldn't bring that fire back.
Well, anything was better than sitting around doing nothing, right? She got to her feet, with absolutely no idea of where she was going. "Hello?" she tried, voice empty of emotion and nothing like her earlier outburst. "Anyone here?"
