What had happened after the gathering of equines? It seemed like some of them had also come through the portal from the Rift. The rest must have been from this new and vastly different world, whatever it was called,.. Rude wondered if there had been a battle or was it just some kind of  welcoming from the Earth God? Knowing the Rift and how corrupted it was, it would not have been surprising if something else had come through afterwards. He shivered at the thought. 

What if had been one of the Rift Gods?

Of course, Rude had never seen any of them and he wasn’t really sure how many there even were or if they even had a physical form at all... It was well known among the inhabitants of the Rift that their Gods were vindictive and cruel just for the sake of being cruel and took great amusement from tormenting those below them. It was thoughts like these that drove the finned equine to flee from the group as soon as he could regardless of whether a battle had taken place or not. He knew the rest of the group probably thought him a coward for running, his lonely upbringing and shark nature made him wary around large groups.

He didn’t want to admit it to himself, but the hybrid was scared of the Rift Gods and their powers.

The silver flash of a fish passing in front of his vision snapped him out of his absent daydreaming and he made to swim after it. He was kind of hungry after all and knew all too well that fish were a much safer option than other equines. A splash of water at the shore distracted him though. Rude gazed up towards the beach to try and see who or what it was. Had another equine come to seek the solace of the sea? As he did so, the newcomer looked into the water at his position before a female voice suddenly started shouting out for someone to help her.

Was she in danger? Rude looked about frantically but couldn’t see- before realising what the situation probably looked like from the mare’s side. “Oh, I see now.” he thought, with a slight laugh. With a swipe of his tail, legs met earth and he walked out of the ocean and onto the beach with ease. The shark horse was slightly nervous about this mare’s reaction but couldn’t resist seeing her reaction to a supposedly drowning horse walking out of the ocean. 

”Greetings.” he offered, with a smirk and a flash of sharp teeth.
