Esperanza laughed."Oh, don't worry so much.Where we're going, the rivers are wider and the water is clearer because the bottom is covered in smooth stones.And the grass,it's so green and it tastes so sweet, you would swear it was made of sugar.It is truly the most beautiful place.It's only the journey there that's the hard part."Lyra had come over to say hello to her parents, and had heard her mother's story.
"Have YOU ever been to this place?"She asked her mother.
Esperanza looked a bit sheepish."No."
"Then, how do you know it's REALLY there?"
"Somethings you see with your eyes,others, you see with your heart."
"I don't understand,Mother."Lyra sighed.
Her mother laughed softly as she looked into her daughter's eyes."You will,my love.You will."

"Somethings in life are better seen with the heart," Temon said as he nuzzled Esperanza.

"That's how you know when you love someone."Esperanza said.Lyra shifted uncomfortably.In her young age, she still found love 'yucky' to use her own words."Umm, Can I go back and play with Rebel now,Mama?"She asked."Of course dear.Just don't wander too far."

"Aww, But Rebel was gonna show me a....ummm....mushroom today."Lyra sighed,making a pouty face."Oh, Temon, be fair."Espie laughed.

"Alright, but not to far into the woods then. As long as we can still see you," he said.

"Okay, Papa!"Lyra cried before running towards Rebel who pranced around her excitedly before the pair raced off into the edge of the woods.It was harder to see Rebel, with his black caot, all you could really see was the white spotted hindquarters.But Lyra looked like liquid bronze,jumping around and dancing amongst the trees."They are so cute when they play like that."Esperanza laughed as she watched Rebel take the lead of the pair of them and begin to lead her towards a large tree.

"And curios as well," he said as he watched the foals look around in the woods.

"I was never as curious as you were.I always hung back."Esperanza said fondly.

"But you did like to explore if I remember correctly.And I was always little Miss Mother.'Temon, we can't go past the Big Oak.' 'I'm too scared to look at the cougar footprint.'"The mare laughed as she imitated her childhood voice.
