Pegasus Mare





Her hooves listlessly drifted across the surface of the soil in a long wave like motions, rising and falling, the blades of grass brushing against her hooves and the crunch of the last of the frost beneath her steps. She stared mostly towards the ground with dark opaque eyes. Her ears really helped to direct her movements the most as she thought quietly to herself and walked along what seemed to be a trail, taken before by deer, wolves, maybe it was naturally like this but maybe it actually led somewhere where other horses or like creatures could be found. Her neck was out stretched and guided her face closer to the ground so she could get a better look, her nostrils taking in whatever scents that she could. She thought about how intelligible this place is still to her. She has hardly met anyone yet. She doesn’t even know where anyone lives though she does try to stay away from areas that seem to have too much noise and smells coming from. She would rather avoid some sort of fight and keep to herself if possible. She listened to the strangest sound she had ever heard, it was like a waterfall but it happened over and over again. The timing not entirely predictable. She heard a while back and turned her journey in the direction of it. She tucked her wings tight against her body as the slope took a dive before her and the smell of salt and brine filled her lungs. It stung but yet was almost sweet on her lips.


The trail began to get rocky and she struggled at first to help firm ground as the path wove between trees and shrubs. The recent rains had made the ground soft and slippery and she stumbled and nearly fell as her hooves landed into the strangest feeling sand. It was thick and coarse on her hooves and she thought how invigorating and surprising this was. For how she was this brought a life to her heart and suddenly she burst into a full gallop towards the water and plunged into it cold water. Her body becoming immediately soaked in the waters. She reared up and flung her wings outward, turning along the shoreline where she could make out the darker water and the lighter gravel like sand. She pressed the waters aside as best as she could and charged the shallows. The release of her pain, her tension, her lacking of memories that frustrated her so. She pushed all her deepest nightmares and hazy mind and for a moment she felt something of herself pressing out of a shell, cracking the very bonds of misery, loneliness, and strife to emerge from her egg into a passionate fire in the crystals of water that sprayed into her eyes and her hair. She trumpeted her joy as she slowed and turned to the edge of the water and back to the sand where she turned in a couple circles before dropping to the sand and rolling in it.
