The palomino mare had finally set off on her own. She was alone, and that meant in almost every way, though she knew that it was her fault that Tai's heart was breaking right now.
Her own was as well, but she needed to do what was best for her..Rather than hold onto something that she was having a hard time wondering if was truly what made her happy.
She was sad, yes, but deep down she felt a sense of hope that maybe her days would get brighter. She could go anywhere, do anything, and be freeonce more..Free to roam the plains and make friends.
She hadnt felt she had truly ever belonged to Tais herd, even though they were all so nice.. She just wasnt one of them..She had been Tais, and that was the only connection they really had.
But she had begun realizing that she was alone with the herd as well, and she had wanted something more.
SO here she was, saddened, and triyng her best to keep her head high, and keep the tears back.

Dmitrria threw her head back and forth as she tried to get the mane from her face. Her legs were on full throttle, pain ascending to her brain, her legs were screaming. "Come on...." The constant running was getting to her.
She couldn't understand her feelings for the new male she had met. He had opened her soul, made her reconcile her feelings of earth.
But today she would not finish her run.
Through the corner of her eye she saw a mare, and felt her sadness. It radiated from her.
Dmitrria slowed, her muscles screaming louder. The pain was finally catching up with her.
"Miss, are you alright?" She knew she wasn't. But those four words came to mind.

The mare looked up from her sad gaze of the earth, and perked her ears, looking at the blur that had finallyslowed and was now stopped.
Was she okay? Yes..She was okay, she thought. She was sad, hurting, and wishing she wasnt okay..But she knew she would survive this very hard time.
She offered a soft smile to teh mare however, as even upset, Esperanza was not one to be mean or snide to anyone. She was a good, sweet mare who was a loving mother and friend..If she had any friends that was..
"Yes, my dear..Im fine.."
She said, her smile fading and her face only looking weary.
"Youre very kind ot have asked."

Dmitrria smiled, she knew the mare wasn't trying to hide her feelings but she certainly wasn't fully letting them into her system.
Dmitrria tried to smile as well, but the mare seemed so down. She shook her pelt and flipped her mane.
"You don't see fine..." Dmitrria stepped closer to Esperanza. "Your eyes are wet with tears, your muzzle covered in dried sadness. And your heart is burdened with wounds." Dmitrria never spoke lyrically, but it seemed right at this very moment.
"I'm sorry, I only meant to help..." She shook her head in light confusion.

She gave the mare another kind smile, before her smile again faded and she looked back towards the earth.
"Lets just say, Today hasnt been the best day. Im a bit behind in the ways of being alone. But I brought it upon myself, and must learn oncemore."
She said, her voice sad, and burdened. As if she was truly distraught, but very brave and strong. She was keeping herself calm and making herself look at it from anoth side..
So she'd left her mate..
She'd also not been happy being in one place..
So she'd left.
She could be happy again. Once these damned tears stopped.
"Whats your name?"
She asked, looking back at Dmittria.

Dmitrria watched as the mare explained her situation. It seemed there was more then the lonely words she spoke, but she wouldn't dig further right now.
"You never have to be alone if you don't want to."
Dmitrria smiled. She knew how it was to be alone. Before Oz, a male named Akuba had been the light of her life. But he left abruptly, and caused her to run. Run run run run run.
"My name is Dmitrria."
Dmitrria smiled.
"And your name?"

She smiled, this time it was a genuine smile as Esperanza always loved meeting others..And this little mare seemed quite lovely. She was kind, and Esper needed someone kind..
"My name is Esperanza."
She said with a nod.
"And it is a Pleasure to meet you Dmittria. You have a beautiful name."
She gave a flick of her tail, and her chocolate brown eyes gleamed with the idea of possibly having made a friend.
"And what are you doing wayy ouy here?"
She asked, surveying her surroundings realizing she wasnt too sure where she was at the moment.

Dmitrria grinned softly.
"My name, beautiful? Ha ha. Your name is so lovely and exotic."
Dmitrria flicked her mane from her face again.
The mare seemed marginally happier.
"Well, I run every morning. And I like to expand my horizons so I gradually go out farther with each run."
Dmitrria huffed lightly, her legs still angry. She had added a little too much to this run.
"I know the lands pretty well, so if you need to get anywhere..."
Dmitrria smiled softly again and flicked her tail.

She smiled.
"Well thank you miss, Esperanza is spanish for Hope, or so I hear."
She said, giving another little laugh.
She had momentarily forgotten her sorrow, and was actually enjoying talking with the other mare now known to be Dmittria.
"I should be like you and run every morning. But Im afraid Im slightly older than you and just choose to be lazy these days."
But that wasnt too true..She was still relatively yuong, andshe loved to run, she just chose not to these days.
"I am acutally quite lost.."
She had been trying to get back to the valley where she had given her three children life..She wanted to be there again..She wanted the memories that she knew would come.

Dmitrria's eyes brightened.
"Hope...." She rolled the word around in her mouth. "It fits you quite well."
Dmitrria laughed softly.
"Well, my running really isn't choice, it's need and habit."
Dmitrria sighed a little. Sometimes she wanted to be lazy, but everyday, hours before dawn she woke next to her human's teepee and was off, running. She had to, it was a compulsive action.
"Well, were do you want to go?"
Dmitrria hoped she didn't say the beach. Dmitrria was tired of getting sand in her pelt. Really tired of sand.
"I don't have to be anywhere." She hadn't made plans to see Oz.

Esperanza thought about where she would go..and she truly wondered if the Valley was the best place for her. She wanted to roam, be free and wild.. But she felt that by going one place, she would consign herself, yet again, to anotherfailed attempt at life.
"Im not truly going anywhere."
She finally said.
"Im trying to get away."
And that was true,.She was trying to get away..Get away from everything unescapable yet the mare was trying in vain.
"I need that habit then."
She giggled.

Dmitrria knew the feeling. Not knowing where you wanted to go, where you needed to be.
"I can take you off to this secret little place I know..."
Dmitrria smiled softly.
"Well, if you want to get away, my secret place is perfect."
"It's an awful habit, I mean look at my legs! I'm all muscle, it's awful."
Dmitrria smiled and laughed.

Oh how she wanted to get away..This secret place was sounding more and more amazing with each breath..
"That sounds lovely my dear."
She said, her eyes gleaming as she seemed to not be feeling quite as sad anymore. She was still hurting, her heart breaking..But she was stronger than she was givingherself credit for.
She had been dependant far too long..
Now it was timefor her to find herself once more.
But she laughed out loud and shook her head.
"And I bet you theres some lovely boy out there that loves those legs."

Dmitrria smiled and tilted her head softly.
"Well then, follow me."
Dmitrria grinned, and began slowly walking along side the beautiful palomino.
"I promise to keep pace."
Dmitrria laughed too, throwing her head back.
"Well, I think there is, but I can't really tell.
Dmitrria thought of Oz, her mid morning savior from thunder. She thought about the puddles they frolicked through. It all seemed like a dream.

Oh this was amazing. She was so happy to get to talk about someone else's love life, that had nothing to do with her own..Or lack thereof at this point.
"Oh is there now? Has he done anything to even make you think he might be interested?"
She asked, following beside the equally as beautiful brown and black mare.
Her golden eyes were the most gorgeous shade. She was just all overpretty, and she knew that whoever Dmittria was interested in, was one lucky fellow.
