They had traveled for so long. When they left, the night had just taken over the twilight and now the dawn was chasing away the night. Under the glittering stars the broken pieces of a glorious herd had fled north. They had traded muddy grounds for icy floors. They had clung to the walls of the mountains risking plunging to their deaths in the freezing waters below. They had climbed up, skidded down and now, at the grey hours of dawn, they finally stopped.

Carefully, almost excusing his mere existence, he touched his black muzzle to Kou’s cremello flank. Then he sent Aviya a look, silently asking if she would share her food with him. He looked up at the mare next, his dual colored eyes displaying his hunger and also his fear of these sudden changes to his life. What would happen now? |
