Ruri
Ruri had remained in the volcanic village from the day she was born, her parents promised her to a herd stallion when she was of age. It was unbelievable that her life was chosen for her, before she was even born. Her mother showed the least amount of love possible, and her father was rarely around, the other herd members were rotten and only showed face when her father called upon them. Today she ventured out from the volcanic village, and realistically she ran from the herd lands without anyone noticing. Of course she would have to return and in two years she would be traded off to another stallion to be his toy.
She gave a snort ears slightly lowered at the thought, she certainly gained an attitude form her mother and strength from her father. This might be the first time she was traveling alone but she was perfectly capable of sticking up for herself. She reached the meadow, only knowing how to get here because her mother came every now and than when she was a foal. She looked around as everyone was already in groups talking with one another, she thought about going up to them but did not want to be turned down because of her age. She continued to walk until she was in a segregated portion of the meadow; the ground was covered in snow but the large pine trees offered protection from flurries and in fact had dead pine needles scattered rather than the white snow. She stepped under the tree, crunching the pine bristles that layed perfectly on the ground from autumn. Extending her neck she reached out to grab a mouthful of snow, it quickly melted in her mouth sliding down her throat sending chills down her back. She allowed a small laugh to exit her mouth, this was her first winter and that was her first taste of snow. Unsure if equines ever had snow, but it certainly was fun to play with, it was nice to not be around the Chambers and to breathe fresh air rather than the dusty sooty air it offered.
Her head quickly lifted and gazed to the right, further into the brush, she heard another but could not see evidence of someone. H...Hello..? she spoke questioningly hoping that one of her herd members did not follow her to the meadow.
I'd rather be running towards someone than running away
