He stared deeply into my pale, blue eyes, trying to understand my mixed smoothie of emotions.

I focused on his gleaming, brown eyes. They concealed a number of horrific scenes and frightful events he's witnessed in his years on this earth. 

I stumbled towards him, unable to control my footing. They had a mind of their own... Unless, they were just listening to my heart and not my head. He wandered towards me as well, and we embraced together. 

His warm, soft breath spread across my frozen neck and for once in my life I felt like I belonged. I felt like I had found a home in his embrace... 

He broke away and I shifted from his gaze. His soft, whiskered muzzle guided my head back towards his suave, well-cut face buckskin face. And it was then I realised he was the one. 

Bearing a foal had never been a thought until just now. I had never loved anyone like I love Spirit. 

Never.

He seemed to read my face better than any scholar would.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He questioned, brushing some of my mane from my softly curved face. 

"My love for you is eternal, Spirit. I've never known what being ready felt like, but now I'm ready. I want this, just as much as you do." I expressed. 

I led him behind the cover of a family of low-hanging trees. 

*Later*

"Father, Spirit and I will be traveling tomorrow. We are going in search of stallions, for help."

My father looked at me.

"You remember to come back to me, Amazon. I lost your mother, and for all these years I thought I'd lost you." He peered at Spirit.

"You better bring her back, son. If she comes to any harm by your fault, I'll make sure you face Kuno yourself."
