It had been two days since the team had set out, and they were past the half way point on their journey. Sura, Anyu and Sesi were participating in the Rite of Fortitude – a 350 mile expedition through the northern wilderness that would test their survival skills. They were riding on the backs of three of the tribe’s most beautiful, curly-maned Tokotas with carefully packed provisions. Sura was riding her beloved Tapeesa, or Tesa as she would fondly refer to her – a lightly colored, grey tundra Tokota with a silky soft mane who was eager to please. She loved exercise and activities alike, and was more than happy to be out on the mission with Sura – quite often seen leading the pack. Anyu and Sesi followed closely behind on the boys – Takoda, a stunning brown Tokota with greying and distinctive markings, and Suka, a tawny fellow with a white mane and bit of a playful personality.
Their journey had led them through a boreal forest, across a vast frozen tundra, and now they began to make their way over a steep mountain summit to the next Inukshuk landmark. The path would take them across the ridge of one of the mountain passes, where sharply declining hillsides and treacherous cliffs waited for anyone who took a wrong step. The ground was frozen solid, with ice and snow decorating the rocky terrain.
The team moved forward in single file – each rider trusting their Tokota’s instincts and sure-footed abilities. Their giant paw pads made it easy to move across the topography silently. Tapeesa, Suka and Tokoda’s thick hides provided them with warmth and insulation against the cold, thin air; and the handlers didn’t mind nestling their gloved fingers into their thick curly manes for some additional warmth.
Sura couldn’t help but admire the splendor from up here, looking out across the Arctic landscape – it was so wild and beautiful. She stood ever so slightly in her stirrups, not wanting to disrupt Tapeesa’s balance, and turned back to face the other two.
“I see the next landmark guys,” she said with a smile, “it’s not that far ahead.”
“That’s great,” Anyu called back, “I think I could use a snack pretty soon.” Tokoda and Suka were right behind Sura on the trail, their eyes bright and ears alert as they took in the immense landscape and scenery.
She shifted back into her seat, reaching down to pat Tapeesa’s neck through her soft white mane. This was turning out to be a wonderful adventure…
