Adelita is Khiara's strider, having chosen her in the summer. It was a chance meeting across a stream whilst Khiara collected water. Faced with a glassbeak, Khiara fled for her life - and when all hope was about to be lost - Adelita saved the young vantha. The mare is a proud creature, and wise beyond her years. Whether she holds the soul of a departed ancestor, this is yet to be revealed. She is of an even temerament and plays with Vsenri as though they'd been companions forever. Fast as a lightning bolt across the Sea Of Grass, when one closes one's eyes, you could almost believe you were flying. All Within Our Stride |
