Note

Snow. Oh, how Note had missed the snow. Few shreds of light illuminated the area, the northern lights fading into nonexistence. A thin coat of snow blanketed the ground, melting quick under the light. Dawn was approaching the Steppe, and the cool effects of night were leaving.

Note had been unable to sleep that night, thoughts haunted by his little family. He had left them for a short moment of cold air in the Steppe, but as he had flown towards the north, a small storm of lightning had followed him as well. It was strange; lightning had been appearing recently when he thought of his family, or when he was truly angered by an individual. Now he was here to test the lightning, seeing if it was truly his to command, after all, it was with him often.

Silver hooves hit the ground with a small thud, sending up a little flurry of snow. He trudged through the landscape until he came to a perfect clearing. It was flat and empty, perfect for testing the lightning. Note tensed his muscles, focusing upon a single spot in the clearing. He thought of the agony he had felt when his mother abandoned him, the anger towards the stallion who had corrupted his life, and the love he felt for Sohalia and Skysong.

An arc of lightning struck the ground, singeing the area it had fallen upon. Note himself was shocked it had worked. Maybe it was just a coincidence? He lifted his head to the sky, but no rain pelted his face, for the sky was remarkably clear. The dusty bay repeated his trick, trying it in various places, but it always worked. The snow would be gone, and the grass burned.

Who knew such magic had resided in Note?

Note

The sound of a helpless wailing of a cat was heard to the bay stallion. Note turned around sharply, his eyes displaying immense shock as they fell upon the blind kitten. A connection between the two were immediately felt.

A bond. A bond was forming between Note and the lynx kitten. 'No, no, no! This can't be right, I have Sohalia and Skysong,' Note thought tragically to himself. But the cries from the kit were heart wrenching, even more so now that he could feel the bond between them. The stallion touched his dark gray muzzle to the lynx kit's soft, pink nose. It's cries stopped, her sightless eyes gazing up at her new protector.

Note moved his wing underneath the kitten, the amulet falling to the ground. The lynx kit immediately took joy in being upon his wings, chewing at his feathers. It pained him, but a couple of his feathers were already dislodged. The kitten, realizing this, stopped her teething. Note simply laughed at her innocence, she didn't know any better, and he understood that. The stallion wove the feathers behind her right ear, the kit purring at his actions.

The lynx kitten curled up in Note's dark gray mane, her sable markings standing out against his hair. "And that is what you shall be called, little Sabel," Note murmured to the kitten, her purrs growing louder. He then bent his head down and slipped the amulet on. It was an amulet of the Sun God, the god both he and his lover worshipped. How could the day get any better?

Note launched into a gallop, Sabel digging her claws into his crest so she wouldn't fall off his nape. He continued to gather speed before lifting himself up into the air. Note had a lot of horses to introduce Sabel to, and he wouldn't waste any time getting started on the meetings.
