tangerine
face to the sun
Tangerine has been spending most of her time on the western side of Hyaline. Here, when the wind is blowing off the ocean she turns her back to the lake (and the burnt eastern perimeter) it is almost as if the fire had never happened.
But today, the wind comes from the east. The acidic scent is not as strong as it was in the fall, the land is healing itself, but it is still there. She has grown used to things, this way, but still her heart is longing for spring and the new growth it will bring. But wind also brings her the scent of Amet… and a newcomer.
Quickly she moves to the more central part of Amet’s kingdom, and soon she sees them. She lets out a friendly whinny as she makes her approach at an easy lope.“It’s beautiful,” she hears the filly say, and then Tang is beside them, reaching her muzzle out to the golden stallion before addressing the girl with a kind smile.
“Well, if you like this, you will love it in spring. I’m Tang, what's your name?” she speaks gently to the girl, curious about the circumstances which have brought her here. But Tang sees the excitement in the girl's eyes as she looks around her new home. Tang’s smile turns playful before she lifts her head and looks back to the west. “Have you ever seen the ocean?”
