As Tae lunged forward, challenging him to a race, the dun smiled but did not follow immediately. Why should he? He could overtake her easily and she would not enjoy this little game if she was going to lose it right away. Gaucho was not the type to go easy, even on his children. He would not let them win and give them a false sense of what they could and could not accomplish. It was not because he was cruel or lacked empathy for his kin, but because he was a realist and he loved them. The world would lie to them, but he never would.

When the girl was more than a handful of strides away, Gaucho picked up an easy canter. Quickly his strides brought him closer to his daughter who had taken on the semblance of a ghost. It was really quite amazing galloping after what looked like a spirit, and Gaucho allowed himself a few seconds to marvel at just how interesting her magic was. However the moment was short lived. Gaucho’s strides opened up into a full gallop. It took only a stride or two to overtake the ghostly girl, and then he was galloping unchallenged towards the Oasis.

The Wildfire did not bother to slow his speed, but instead crashed into the waters at a full gallop. Even with Gaucho’s strength, he slowed quickly and considerably within a few strides, leaving him standing in shoulder-deep water. The crisp and cool waves lapped against his body and the dun sighed happily. He turned slowly in the water to spy Tae still racing forward. Her smallish body hit the water without nearly as much impact as his did and she lost her momentum when she was only up to her knees in the water.

”Chir.” Gaucho said with a laugh, lowering one cupped wing into the water and flinging a wingful towards her.
