HARDSHIP OFTEN PREPARES AN ORDINARY PERSON FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY DESTINY
HARDSHIP OFTEN PREPARES AN ORDINARY PERSON FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY DESTINY
I had slipped away again. I am probably to curious for my own good. But oh well. The fire had taught me not to stay away for to long this time. But I want to find Dad. I have only seen him the one time, at my birth. Did he even care about me? I forget about that when I hear something. I look around, unsure what is going on. Nothing. But then I hear it again. This time, I see Dad. In his and Alanna's rush to find out what had happened, he did not see me. I could tell something was wrong, and because he's my Dad I wanted to know too. So I fell in behind him, so that I wouldn't be in the way or anything. But I didn't distract him either, which didn't work out in my favor. I soon fell behind and Dad was out of sight. Frustrated I kept going, following Dad and Alanna's scent.
When I lost that, I really got frustrated. Now what am I going to do? That's when I heard it for the first time. A beautiful yet sad song. It was joined by a howl. I didn't fully know the howl, but at the same time I feel like it matches the song. I follow it, and it leads me right where I want to go. Dad is there, along with Alanna. But so are so many others. Quietly, I slip up to my Dad's side. Gently I press my nose against his side, he doesn't even turn to greet me. Instead he is focused on some other stallion. It's Alanna who sees me and comes over. She licks my face before going back to stand at Dad's front hooves. I figured he knows i'm there, but something big must be going on. I look from one adult to the other, and the sad song seems to be coming from something gold on top of.... A sleeping mare? Why are we all gathered to watch someone sleep?
