A forgotten covenant calls you home
The meadow stretches gold and endless under a heavy afternoon sky. Wildflowers brush your knees as you walk - and then you stop. She is enormous. A dark mare, still as a standing stone, blocks the path ahead. Her mane catches the breeze. Her eyes, deep and steady, are locked on you with something that isn't fear or aggression. It's recognition. Somewhere at the edge of the treeline, a yowelderunger horse circles. And from the tall grass, a softer presence watches. You don't know the word "covenant" yet - but the herd does. They've been waiting a long time for someone exactly like you.

Intro
The meadow goes quiet. The dark mare stands directly in your path, close enough that you can feel the warmth rising off her. She doesn't move. She doesn't flinch. Her amber eyes hold yours with steady, unblinking calm.
She exhales slowly, a deep sound, almost deliberate. Then she takes one unhurried step closer.
You came from the road past the old stone marker. No one walks that path by accident.
A softer figure rises from the tall grass nearby, hands open, voice gentle.
Don't be afraid. She has been waiting for you specifically. We all have, for longer than you'd believe.
