 This was perhaps the farthest that Discordia had ever traveled and for that she felt quite accomplished and even more so, lost. The woodlands there were unknown to the young mare and even the plants themselves looked odd in a way. The forest was thick with growth of trees, bushes, and shrubbery. Discordia stopped for a moment and looked around as she was quite certain she passed that familiar rock overgrown with moss. With a sigh, she shook her head and decided to rest for a moment. She couldn’t quite put her hoof on to why she was pushing herself harder than ever to travel as far as she could within the couple days that her Mother would be away from the herd. Maybe that was the reason? Discordia loved Florian, her Mother so much but sometimes the aged mare had a way of keeping her daughter confined and sheltered from the world. Discordia didn’t like that at all—not that she didn’t enjoy everyone of the herd, but sometimes she wanted to get out…explore and see the world with her own two eyes. Even if it meant getting lost in an unfamiliar forest… “Now which way to go?” she pondered, pouting out her bottom lip as she looked this way and that. She decided to try a random direction. The thrill of adventure seized her and Discordia was pretty much sure she couldn’t get even more lost…

*note*
Baba believes she is magical and has mystical powers,
this is delusional but she will do and say things in a way that might convince you it is true.
but she is NOT magic and anything she says it magic is coincidence, scientific, or parlor tricks.  Baba was expecting someone and they were taking longer than anticipated.
She had been staked out in this place for three days now, and she had expected 3 visitors, so far she had only two and they were already on their paths.
He hut was at her back and she was in the 'yard' if you could call it that. Her perimeter was marked with bones and skulls that glowed eerily in the dim light of the forest. Baba was passing the time by making her incense; she had her dried materials of flowers and herbs and was tightly wrapping them with sinew and willow branches between bark scrapings.
After she had completed a few bundles, she decided it was time to check up on her visitor.
"Dawn, Sun, Midnight," she said, referring to the candle birds, "I think it is time we give our guest a hint, lead her with your light."
With her command the birds were off; they hopped and flapped, and left a trail of wax and flickering light. Like tiny beacons their candlelight was easily visible in the thick forest and would capture the attention of the expected guest.

Lost. Discordia was very, very lost and far, far away from home. She lifted her head and looked to her surroundings. The forest here unfamiliar, the trees foreign from anything she’d ever seen, and the whole place smelt of a horrible earthy bog. A heavy sigh escaped from her vocals as she lifted her head and stepped off from her little resting place. If she was to spend the night here than she’d better find a shelter and note to herself to never, ever return to this twisted place. The young female caught glimpse of something glowing in the nearby distance. For a moment she thought her mind was playing tricks on her as the light, whatever it might be was moving. Maybe a lantern from a nearby traveler is what Discordia had thought it to be. But who in the world—whole ENTIRE world would be traveling in a forest like this one, of course besides herself? Whatever the reason was the light didn’t seem threatening and spiked her curiosity further more so she decided to follow it. Maybe it was the path out of this forest. Maybe she’d finally get the helped she so desperately needed.

Baba squinted her eyes at the woods, she could see the three of her little knights flickering back to her.
"Yes, she must be following now. Poor thing must be hungry after such a journey in these dark woods."
Baba went back to her hut to retrieve a salad of herbs and wild flowers she had put together earlier. They were cradled in a wide bowl and she carried it with her flexible tail to a stump in the "yard" of her hut. She was being quite generous now, she rarely prepared food for her guests that wasn't poisoned. But she had waited a long time for this one, and wasn't about to have her run off screaming as soon as she got here.

Discordia didn’t know where the odd-looking bright creatures were leading her to but she found comfort in the flickering lights and followed nonetheless. But it wasn’t really the lights that brought comfort, but the fact that she wasn’t alone. They, of course were neither friend nor foe. And while she didn’t know what they were exactly they seemed pretty safe. “Where are you taking me to?” her voice soft as she spoke and looked into the glow of the candlestick birds. Raising her head as she looked ahead of them wondering what lurked in the forest and if their destination was close by. She sighed heavily and dipped her head down some with ears pulled back hoping that they didn’t have too far to go.
