He was tired, the sand crusting on his salt-sprayed coat, grit on his tongue and dust between his teeth.

Tired of walking. Tired of futile efforts. Tired of all the things that his father had warned him about being true. Too reckless. Too stupid. He was not a lucky stallion. Ricochet's attempts were crushed casually, his dreams perpetually beaten back, just like the waves crashing down on the shore. They pulled at the land, but the land did not yield. But the waves beat on, foaming white with blue rage, just as he would. He would not give up, not something that was not so much a belief as the reason he lived.

Guns trotted ahead of Ricochet, paws leaving deep imprints into the damp shore where the salt waters had receded this morning. It was the stench that bothered the Incendiary; the aroma of rotten seaweed and kelp, dead animals decaying and crumbling, skin sloughing off bone, the rich tang of salt, the stink of the wet white droppings the seagulls left behind them, a sticky mess that congealed in the shallows. Even the sounds quick became a source of frustration more than inner peace- the harsh caw of gulls, the roar of the waves crashing down, the wind whispering empty promises into dark ears. And the sights were worse. All blue ocean and dry gold sand, too reminiscent of the Tides.

The wind whistled and keened in Ricochet's ears as he moved dutifully forwards, with no purpose to guide where he walked. Here he was a small fragmentary piece, a pawn rather than king, a man out to walk his dog.

He was nothing here, without his rage and curling sneers, nobody to snap at and only his collie to shout at.

And he hated it.
