I follow her easily and happily out of the water. My body and wings feel heavy as the water seems to try and pull me back in, but nothing can keep me from her. My white-barred forelegs struggle slightly, even wobble a little as my hooves slip in the sand, but eventually I am out. I shake as she does, and my body feels loose and tired but much lighter than before. As she speaks of my Father, I nod.

"He is indeed. He is a great warrior, the best in all of Helovia I think. If he's ever lost a fight its only been a few times." Has he ever lost? I'm not sure that that he has, but then again maybe I was just never told about that. I wonder how old he was when he started training. He won't let me train yet, he says that because my bones are still growing I can't risk serious or permanent injury. That doesn't stop Ivezho and I from playing around. At least ... it didn't when he was still here. I feel my heart momentarily lurch, but I dismiss it quickly.

"All we have to do is go across the land bridge. There might be a few patrols who see us coming, but if you're with me it won't matter."

Suddenly, I have an idea.

Inconspicuously I move to her side, acting as if I'm looking around, but out of the corner of my eye I'm always looking at her. I begin to whistle, just a little, to distract her. I don't know if it'll work. Before I can find out, one of my wings shoots from my side to try and brush against her shoulder. "You're it!" I cry joyfully as I dance away to the left, pushing against the sand and moving up the hill that led to the water. I begin to run towards the bridge. I keep my wings pressed tightly against my flanks - I know that she can't fly yet, and so it wouldn't be fair of me to. And if I keep my wings pressed in like this I'll be more .. what's the word? Aero...something ? I don't remember.

The point is, I'll be faster.
