Adora and Swift Wind took in the scene as the others started to get to know the animals.

Frosta had taught Tajana, the white fox, how to play hide-and-seek. She chased the playful fox, who kept appearing and disappearing.

Mermista was chilling on a hammock strung between two trees, with Felix the sloth floating in the air next to her.

Perfuma and the skunk, whose name was Lily, were walking around the edge of the woods, sniffing the colorful flowers.

Glimmer was using Bow’s tracker pad to time the speed of Mehira the mountain lion.

And Bow had created a target out of some driftwood and was taking turns shooting at it with Winda the porcupine.

“This is actually pretty incredible,” Swift Wind told Adora. “I mean, some of their powers might be a little weird, and they’re obviously not as good as mine. But these are definitely not ordinary creatures. I’m not alone!”

“Is that what it felt like after I transformed you?” Adora asked. “Like you were all alone in the world?”

“Well, at first none of the other horses would even talk to me,” he said. “That hurt. But then I joined the Rebellion, and I felt like I was a part of something bigger than myself, you know? So then I didn’t feel so alone.”

He’s opening up to me, Adora realized, and she planned her next words carefully. “I understand,” she said. “And I know what happened to you was an accident, Swift Wind, but I’m really glad you’re part of the Rebellion. We wouldn’t—”

Treeleaf approached them, and she stopped. The deer’s fur was a beautiful, deep purple color. He nodded with his head toward the woods.

“You want me to follow you?” Adora asked.

Treeleaf nodded.

“Okay,” Adora said, and she walked toward him.

“I’m pretty sure he wants us to follow him,” Swift Wind said, trotting after them. “I mean, I don’t speak deer, but that’s what it felt like to me.”

He followed Adora and Treeleaf into the woods. The air felt cool under the canopy of the green trees, and leaves crunched underneath their feet. Birds darted between the tree branches. A turtle ambled across the path. More bunnies munched on plants, burping rainbow bubbles. Squirrels and chipmunks scampered up the tree trunks as they walked by.

“There are animals all over this island,” Adora remarked.

Swift Wind stopped. “Hmm. I wonder if those are ordinary squirrels, or if they have powers?” he asked. “I could talk to them and find out. Adora, what do you think?”

But Adora, transfixed by the deer, wasn’t listening. Swift Wind snorted and continued on behind them. Nearby, two of the squirrels ran down the tree trunk. One of them picked up a rock ten times her size and held it over her head while the other squirrel gathered the nuts hidden underneath.

“Hey, where are we going?” Swift Wind asked Adora. “I mean, I don’t speak deer but I could try.”

Treeleaf was silent. Adora shrugged, and they all kept walking. They came to a bubbling brook. A family of ducks was floating downstream, quacking to each other.
