Each kick of my long legs, pushed my body forward. Every now and again I would scrape on something or feel something run between the part of my body in the water. However, by no means would I let it get to me. The water's depth was changing. At first the waters had been shallow and then up to my back and now, my whole body was inking expect for my head. I admit this made me nervous but I did not allow it to show. I watch as I got closer and closer to where I wanted to be. Why was an neutral mare taking such risks? Well, to prove something to herself. You see, I was not the type to settle down. I had no herd or family so I had much freedom. This just proved how much freedom I had and how far I could push myself. The next step would be to explore the Void. A swamp with bodies everywhere. A land for darks. That would be my final test, then maybe I'll settle somewhere. Eyes looked around to find a few equine bones. Not everyone made it this far, or so I heard. I made sure to make this journey right at the crack of dawn, way before night fall. Only a fool would make that decision. I was no fool, but then again only a fool would try this out. At last, I had made my way to the cliffs. At least the one I wanted to reach. I felt the ground below me int he water, it was now rising a bit now. However the water was still touching my back. I felt a good lift and I made my jump. Just barely making it, I felt part of the cliff scratch my under belly. That did not matter, all wounds heal in time. I was told this would be worth it, if I made it alive and so, my goal was to stay alive. Daggers dug into the Cliff and I started to make my way up the jagged trail. Rocks here and there would fall but I remained solid. Even when I had to jump over a large whole in the trail. I just took a deep breath and moved on. Some fear in me that I could fall at any time. This trail and these rocks were not solid. It seems the odds were against me but I did not care. At last what looked to be the top, I was careful not to make the wrong move. It looked best to jump but I did not. So when I reached the top, there was no surprise to see a good gap. If I were to jump, I would have fallen. At this point, I short of felt proud of myself. I made it too the top and like all the stories had said, there was fresh grass, water and well, it was like your own little piece of heaven. I smirked and made my way to have a look at the land. Making sure I was alone. Last thing I needed was for some equine to sneak up on me. After a bit of searching and smelling, I found no other and so, I started to nip At he dew grass to gain back my strength and look over my wounds. They were just simple ones and nothing to worry about. So I drank a bit of water and laid myself a bit from the edge. Looking over the water I had just travel from and most likely will have to follow again. All in do time. For now, I was going to enjoy the sights and piece and quit.
