He realizes quickly that nothing will deter this wretched, magic beast. The young otter backs up, hissing as he goes, and does what he can to distance himself from the fox. There is nothing left for him to enter but the rushing water. But wouldn't that be an admittance of defeat? His small teeth chatter as he chirps at the fox in fear that he tries to hide behind bravery.

It is no use. With one quick look back at the waters of the river, he knows that as unkind as he may find his family, the water is his home. With a heavy sigh he turns and skitters forth, water splashing up against his legs in a splash of white. But still, he is not safe. The otter has no time to dodge the crashing hooves of the gypsy vanner, and so they strike him directly across the back. He feels death coming as the hooves near him and he realizes in a moment of horror that there is nothing he can do.

But when the strike comes, he feels nothing. One look at himself reveals that the hoof has instead passed right through him. Where solid fur once covered him, a watery sheen now glistens. In a brief transformation, he becomes like the fox: a part of the water. He feels a sort of slipping sensation, as if his mind is leaving his body, and then he feels nothing but lifelessness.

The empty, watery figure of an otter is visible in the water for mere moments before crashing down to join the current. As if to signify the completion of her first task, the current slows and the water warms ever so faintly.

[The first task is complete. Make a new thread and tag RE to start the next one.]
