I'll be there some day
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know every mile
Will be worth my while
When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong


This is Alvis racing off back to his homeland to start earning his runes back and please his god Odin.

Alvis raced as fast as he could back to her. He didn’t know how he knew but Tyra needed him. She needed him to be there for her.

 

It was her birthday and she was now an adult in the eyes of the herd. This was her chance to ask about her runes and to be treated with respect about it rather than it be filly follies.  That and he couldn’t miss the ceremony.

 

But there was something wrong. Ever since they were little he always knew what she was feeling whether it be her being excited over seeing a frog for the first time or when she was scared because she wandered too far away. It was why he never minded all that much when he had to watch her when they were younger, he knew if something was wrong.

 

After they had a moment at the river, they had done everything together. She had matured quickly and soon was able to understand when he spoke with her. He definitely still had more experience and she would always ask for his advice but for the most part they were on the same page with a lot.

 

He got to the meadow and stopped dead in his tracks. There was no one there. </i> What the hell he thought as he looked around. He saw something cream colored laying on the edge of the meadow to his right and he bolted for the shape.  “Tyra? Tyra what’s going on where is everyone?”

 

His little sister looked up with teary eyes, looking like a little filly again, “Alvis, they left. I asked about my runes and the elders….” She looked back down at the ground for a moment and seemed to remember herself. She stood up and shook her mane out. “The elders said they were tired of being reminded of stories and that the only way they were going to outrun the legends was to leave this land. When I refused to leave they made momma walk away with them. They told me I wasn’t allowed to come back until I’ve put away my foalhood imagination. Alvis, the runes are real right? Everything that we talked about when we were little is all real right?” She looked desperately at him wanting to believe that he hadn’t lied to her all her life, that she could still rely on him and trust him.

 

Alvis felt betrayed. The family had left him as well as her, that was plain to see. And the fact that they made her question his loyalty to her… it was physically painful.  “Tyra, I would never lie to you. I will always be right here for you and I will help you find the truth, even if you don’t fully believe in me anymore. Tyra, the two of us need to leave here as well, but we will go towards older lands. We will work our way higher and have our runes cast for us. I won’t let them beat you down like this little sister, you have my word everything I told you is true and I will prove it to you if you will still follow me." </i>
