Delumine was hardly enough to keep her mind occupied these days. It was her own thoughts that had become her worst enemy. For hours on end, Sloane would remain in the library, reading or thinking about all the lost secrets of Delumine. She wondered what those that came before her were like. She wondered if all the past kings and queens had understood the secrets that this library held. In her hours of discovery, she had uncovered many secrets, locking them away for a rainy day. But there was still one secret that she needed to unlock, that she needed to understand. That secret was the island that had arisen out of the ash of a volcano.
That island, though no one truly understood it, held so many secrets that Sloane was absolutely determined to uncover. And so, on this particularly sunny and hot day, the mare had traveled from her own little private island that she had grown to love, back towards the island that held so many unanswered questions.
Her journey had begun at dawn and she had traveled throughout most of the afternoon. By the time she had arrived on the mysterious island, the time should have been well close to dusk. The sun should have begun it’s descent already, the moon creeping out from behind the clouds. But what Sloane found was that the sun was still set at mid-day.
Eyes looked up at the sun, eyelids squinting at just the sheer amount of sunlight that flooded her senses. And as she looked away, she realized just how oddly quiet this island was. There were no birds in the air, no sand crabs scurrying through the sand. Even the waves had seemed to halt. Curious. Very curious.
