Holly Hearth is the daughter of the kirin leader. She wakes to find her herd being driven out by the town. It wasn’t the first time. At this rate no town in the East will take them. The only path they can see is a treacherous mountain climb into the mythical lands of Equestria.

Written for Kirinfest for Atom Smash!
