Fragile Things (episode)

## Fragile Things

**"Fragile Things"** is the second episode of *Centaurworld*.

## Official Synopsis

*The herd sets out to find the way home. Wammawink encourages them to be careful and take it slow, but fearless Horse charges ahead.*

## Plot

Horse and the herd are continuing down the rainbow road but Horse and Wammawink butt heads due to their different approaches to leadership. Wammawink feels the outside world is unsafe and that they should be cautious and allow her protect them, while Horse considers danger something that should be faced instead of hidden from and that it's better to be self-sufficient.

The herd considers Horse's approach more compelling but still do not object to Wammawink's interventions and after a few detours, and a bit of frustration on Horse's part as she feels the others aren't taking the quest seriously, they come across a devastated area. Wammawink, who has the strongest magic of the group due to having received shaman training, has a bad feeling about the place and says they should turn back, reminding the others that she is occasionally able to see glimpses of the future.

Horse loses patience at this point and parts ways with the group, though Wammawink is fine with returning to the valley, but the others have realised that they can no longer be satisfied with their mundane lives there. Durpleton points out that they promised to help Horse and should honor that promise which, along the others' wishes to keep going, convince Wammawink to believe in them and continue on.

Shortly after catching up to Horse a tornado starts to form, much to Horse's excitement as it reminds her of the chaos of home, however Wammawink soon realises it isn't a regular tornado, but something far more dangerous. While Horse clashes with the taurnado, losing her tack & armour in the process, the rest of the herd works to protect themselves against it, and later rescue Glendale after she is distracted by Horse losing the artifact and is picked up by the storm when she goes to get it. After saving her, the herd is nearly pulled by the taurnado, until Wammawink creates a bubble around them which Horse kicks through the taurnado, dispelling it.

Wammawink is furious at Horse for endangering everyone and focusing on the end goal too much to care about anyone else, while Horse is annoyed by Wammawink's constant fussing over everyone and is once again left on her own while the others return to the valley. Horse initially thinks that this will free her to focus on the mission without being slowed down, but struggles to navigate Centaurworld by herself and begins to think of Rider.

Her song expressing her desire to reunite with Rider and her worries that she won't be able to or that they will lose each other catches the attention of the herd, who are camping nearby, and changes Wammawink's mind.

The next morning the herd has re-joined Horse, and Wammawink confides in her that she is protective of her herd because they are important to her and that she's realised that Horse has a similar bond with Rider, and offers to help her reunite with her. Later when Horse is trying to explain what a Rider is, she spots a human woman in the distance and, thinking she's found Rider, chases after her with the herd close behind.
