The earth was winding down for her winter rest; the leaves were changing and berries grew fat and ripe in the undergrowth. All around them the smaller mammals (and a bear or two) readied their dens and buried whatever bounty they could not bare to eat.
Hyaline was a hub of life and activity.
As Beqanna shifted, the deck was shuffled and new faces appeared on her doorstep daily. Some were young and vibrant, others were in need of shelter, many were both. But despite the liveliness of the mountain kingdom, she knew it was time for her to stretch her wings and venture beyond the sheltered lake basin of her home. She needed to speak with the other leaders and take the pulse of the world around them.
But it looks as if she is not the only one who feels the need to reinforce friendships and seek out the like-minded. It appears that Brennen has saved her at least one of those expected journeys.
"Welcome!" She calls to her acquaintance and his guest as she trots across the fading bluegrass of the lakeshore. "Brennen, it is good to see you again so soon." Solace gives the ancient warrior a slight dip of her head before turning her attention to the other stallion. "I'm Solace, The Caretaker here in Hyaline." She gives a brief pause for the gold accented stallion to speak before again returning her cerulean gaze to Brennen, alert and curious.
"Am I right to guess that this visit is in the name of duty and not pleasure?" She asks, pressing gently into the conversation with an accommodating smile. If there was more trouble brewing, something yet unknown to her, she wanted to know as soon as possible.
