He hears noises and stiffens instantly. The heavy hoofbeats that disturb his slumber are unfamiliar. He has lived in this meadow all his life and learned of the equines, even grown to recognize some of them. But these two are new, and he feels a sort of fear in their presence. The paint draft is massive, the type that could crush him with one blow, and the mare... he doesn't trust her. Perhaps it is the magic he can smell on her, but he knows something is not right. His whiskers twitch nervously and he rolls onto his stomach once more. His legs stiffen beneath him and he prepares to run- but... where to? The water stirs with a force like magic and the hair along his spine sticks out. No, the water is a dangerous, traitorous home. He cannot retreat there anymore.

The paint stallion begins to speak in his own language, neighing and bellowing in a ferocious manner. The otter steps back off of the rocks and shakes his head in fierce and scared confusion. Maybe the water would be safer. There at least the uttering of the massive beasts would be muffled.

But just as he makes up his mind to return to the river, magic from the mare stirs up from the water and changes his mind. A fox, a predator even despite its size, forms from the water and it suddenly holds a more dangerous hue. The mare seems to laugh at him from across the river, and as he backs away from the rocks, he realizes that the heat of the sun no longer shines on him. With each second the fox grows closer, following him even as he walks as if determined to capture him. Perhaps a braver young otter would be curious, but he feels only fear and a sense of territorial protection. His claws dig into the soft soil and his hackles lift along the back of his neck. The otter, old enough to be about four feet, braces himself for a fight. With a wild and untamed claw, he strikes out at the watery fox and hopes to scare it off.

[My apologies for the delay.]
