Accompanied by the steadfast neigh of Star, the illusory scene shattered in an instant.
In the silence, Star gazed at the caring figure of its father, Chasing Wind, as he dissolved into nothingness, leaving the resolution in its eyes undiminished.
In the next moment, Xu Ran and the other two little ones materialized not far ahead.
Has this nightmare ended?
Excitement surfaced in Star's eyes.
"Xi Lu~" (I'm coming~)
With a neigh, it raised its hooves and dashed toward its companions.
However, at the next moment, a look of astonishment appeared in Star's eyes.
With every step it took forward, its companions moved farther ahead, widening the gap between them until they were merely specks in the distance, just as Star once could not catch up with the other Little Horses in its memory.
"Xi Lu?!"

"Ran! Time to eat!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Ran rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed.
