Long May She Reign
It was a monumental moment when a foal takes there first steps, and Divest was as proud as ever. Her first steps would be wobbly, but once she got a hang of it she would be running and it would be Mary who would have to keep up.
Mary steps away, an attempt at encouraging the young girl to grow stable in her movement. She doesn't go far, a few paces or so as she waits for Divest to follow, and she does. The young girl glancing over her home for the first time, and she looks at it in amazement. You never get a first impression twice, and so she may never experience the feelings she has in this moment again, so Mary stands quiet while she takes it in.
As the girl takes in the world she glances at her own pelt and noting that she and Mary shared the same color. Mary gently laughs at the fillies amazement and nods her head, but before she could respond Divest noted there hooves. They are a different color, but just as special! She smiles, her and her children share a rare trait among beqanna, it didn't help in battle but certainly added to there beauty.
Divest quickly picked up on walking and was quick to explore, excited to see more she asks to explore the island. Mary smiles and agrees, she allows the child to go where she pleases while staying a healthy couple of paces away.
They find themselves near the shore, the smell of saltwater was strong and the sound of water lapping the shore could be heard. But among the other noises she hears another equine calling out, her head quickly whips to the source and she spots another.
He grows closer and her eyes narrow on him, he looked familiar and she quickly assumed him to be an Ivar descendant. The kelpie like form, the gold hues that reflected off him. Although she trusted Ivar she could not simply give trust to this stag, and so she steps before her daughter protecting her from any harm.
When he reaches them he was quick to introduce himself, and even gave a brief history lesson which confirmed in Mary's suspicion of his father. She was rather shocked by his diplomatic skills, and decides that he doesn't seem to be a threat and for it she steps away from her child allowing her to be seen. Ivar you say? she asks with a grin, I know Ivar very well. she steps closer to the stag. You have found yourself in the resort, have you an intention to stay? She glances to her child before she finds his stag once more and I'm Mary, she reluctantly offers her name leaving Divest's introduction to herself.
MARY
