Her mind void of the thoughts that pressured her, as if the wind sent them adrift as well.
Sounds brought her from her pleasant thoughtlessness, and the woman looked to find its origin. A horse and rider approached, and the westbound winds brought the scent of her son towards her. The sight of the white accented creature forced her to take a second look, unsure if it was a figment of her wandering imagination. She stood upon the flat rock, eager to greet him.

“How is my Knight?” She asked, her tone less animated though she still grinned. He had always been her favorite.
