Summary: The first time we met Scarlet and her friend, raven Marrakesh. He approaches her to announce Quicksilver's and Samantha's return.

-----

It was evening. The sun was lazily setting down, its golden rays trying to reach the valley's floor. However no matter how much they tried, they could not keep their domain, and thus were retreating slowly.

The black, red-dotted mare ascended the steep hillside to reach a small, outlook-like platform - her favourite spot from where she was able to glance over the whole meadow - the very centre of their herd’s summer grounds, and a place where they often spent their nights at.

Scarlet watched the banks of the stream that ran down the mountains and through their valley, further into the flat lands beyond its border. This place was all she ever knew - a place she called home.

Although she never felt unhappy here, she sometimes wondered what the world was like somewhere else - down below the river, or further up the mountains, or even beyond the borders of this realm. She started to imagine the world out there after she became acquainted with Quick - a stallion who was constantly on the go, visiting many places, and sometimes coming back with new stories about faraway lands and their wonders.

She kept on brooding when suddenly a harsh, screeching voice reached her ears from above. “Karr-let, Karr-let!”

Scarlet turned her head towards the coming voice. She knew well who’s calling her, as there was only one creature who always pronounced her name this way. Only that raven had to replace the first syllable of her name with his typical call.

“What’s up, Marrakesh,” she said as she greeted this ole’ friend of hers.

“I believe I saw them,” the bird said as soon as he flew closer to her, sat on a branch, and continued: “The painted pair.”

“Painted pair… ?” Scarlet looked at him.

“These two hobos with a lot of… white on them.” Marrakesh said, thinking, “the horse and his hound friend, those who said to us that they are going to visit some relatives back in autumn. And haven’t returned since.”

Now, Scarlet understood. “Oh! You mean Quick’ and Sam’.” She smirked at the word ‘hobos’. “Where did you see them?”

“They must have recently descended the mountains. I saw them on the deers' path in the northernmost corner of the valley. They were running towards the birch wood. I don’t think they would come here this late, they will probably stay the night there and approach the herd tomorrow.”

“I see. Thank You for flying here to tell me.”

“You’re welcome,” the raven replied politely, and flew away again.

As he left, Scarlet reared up and yelled, her voice reaching all the way down and across the meadow, “Brigit!”, before descending the small platform and running towards her.
