She had been running for a while, longer than any mortal horse could. Her head kept feeling funny but she kept pushing the feeling away no matter how insistent it became. She coldn't shake the feeling and had almost lost her footing trying to shake it away. She ran through it all; her tears, her pain, her anger, even her blood as she began to get scratched from the rough forest around her.
